WILL BE About $200,000 to Be Spent Here This Year for New Streets Engineers are now busily engaged in mapping out the new sewer system for this eity, and as soon as the plans are adopted, in about a month, the council will again be ready to consid er street paving. The mayor and council had a hard time getting the paving ball rolling here two years ago, but now that the property holders know how fine the bitulithic improvement is. they are taking the initiative, and instead of some of them fighting the street pav ing, they are clamoring for it. A comparison of Second, Third and Fourth streets with the muddy cross streets which are not paved, a con trast which the citizens cannot helj but see exemplified every day, ex plains the change of heart. Another boost for the cause of paving was the council's choice of the paving mater ial, bitulithic. ThiS has given fine satisfaction, and two year's use in the city has already demonstrated that it is durable, cheap in the long run. not as slippery as most hard-surfaced pavements and is of pleasing appear ance. It is estimated that between $175,000 and $200.000 will be expended by the Dalles property owners for street pav ing this year. Washington Street land owners are eager to pave, a« are those on Alvord. in the residential district, and the indications are that most all the streets below the bluff which cross Second, Third and Fourth will be hard-surfaced this year It is prob able that before another year has passed The Dalles will be able to boast of nothing but hard surfaced streets in the business section, wit' • large percentage of residence« abut ting on streets of pavement—The Dalles Daily Chronicle.

Dear Sir: Application for rental water from the Payette-Boise system for the irri gation season of 1911 will be received after March 20, 1911. The cost of the water has been fixed at 75 cents per acre foot for flood water and $1.25 per acre foot for stored water. Payment must be made in cash in advance of the delivery of the water. Commercial paper will be collected and applied to payments for water. The procedure in making applica tion for water is as follows: As soon as it is reasonably certain that water can be delivered to any particular tract of land request should be made for the revised water rental form of agreement. These forms can be obtained at the office of the Payette-Boise Water Users' As sociation at Caldwell, Xampa-XIerid ian Irrigation District's office, Xam pa, U. S- Reclamation Service offices at Boise and Meridian, and from the water masters of the various divis ions. The application blank should be signed and forwarded to the Payette Boise \\ ater Users' Association a Caldwell. The s cretary of the as sociation will execute the certificate that the water user is a member of the association with all assessments paid to date and will return the ap plication to the water user. If the water user is not a member of the as sociation with all dues paid, no ap plication will be received or water de li \ ered. Atter the certificate embodied in the application has been properly execut ed by the secretary of the association, ater user will send or present the application in per>on to the office of the reclamation service, Boise, Ida ho, together with payment for the amount of water for which applica tion is made. It it is possible to deliver water to the applicant, instructions will be given to the water user to deliver water to the land described in the ap plication. If it is found to be im possible to deliver water to the appli cant, the cash or commercial paper transmitted will be refunded. Small cards, on which the water user may request water from time to time as needed, will be provided by the water master or ditch rider and should be deposited on the tap box or handed to the rider. After one certificate for any appli cant for rental water for use during 1911, has been signed by the secretary of the water users' association, addi tional applications for water will be received from that applicant without certification by the secretary until an other assessment is made by the as sociation. F. W. HANNA, Project Engineer. NOTICE TO LAND OWNERS IN THE PIONEER IRRIGATION DISTRICT. The officers oi the Pioneer Irriga tion District desire to call the atten tion of those land owners within said district who have signed contracts with the Payette-Boise Water User's Association, to the changed condi tions now existing from those exist ing at the time said contracts were signed. At that time it was estimated that the government water would be de livered to the lands for about $25.00 per acre; but conditions have changed with regard to the amount of water available for the lands of the district, which does away, to some extent, with the necessity for the additional water supply provided for by these con tracts. Under present conditions, from the best information that the of ficers of the district can obtain, in stead of the cost of the government water being $25 00, it will probably be double that amount per acre. Petitions are now being circulated for the purpose of having the lands within the district released from the contracts made with the Payette Boise Water Users Association. All those desiring to sign said petition will find same at the office of the board of directors of the Pioneer Ir rigation district, or with any of the directors. Any further information desired in reference to this matter can be ob tained from the secretary of the board, at the office of the district. Caldwell, Idaho. J J. Blanc has returned from Enid.
