A Knock at The Farmers Association
Means a Blow at the Tract.
Editor Times:
The North Side New s, dated Sept. 14th,
1911, (rives a very lengthy article, written
by a citizen of Jerome, which, from the
tone of the article, was intended to be a
direct "knock" at the Twin Falls North i
Side Canal Tsens' Association.
The Association referred to is composed
of over 60u active land owners on the
NiTrth Side tract, with three branches;
one at Jerome, one at Wendell and one
in the Shoe String district.
The object of our association is for the
mutual protection and lieneflt of every
settler on this Great North Side tract,
and will, before another year is past, de
velop into a buying and selling corpora
tion for the benefit of its members. The
2>s years that our association has been
in existence'has seen a wonderful growth,
and to-ilay it is one of the strongest or
ganizations of farmers in the Northwest.
At the time we organized, several who
were most influential in organizing our
association were men under the employ
of the Twin Falls North Side I-and <x
Water Co.
At the close of our first season when
our first shortage of water came, anil we
felt it our duty to see to it that the Hand
& Water Co. furnish that which we
bought when we took hold of this land,
several who were instrumental in helping
us organize, dropped out, and became
antagonistic toward our organization.
To go into all the work of our associa
tion and to enumerate all of the many
things it has accomplished for the good
of every settler on this tract would take
too much time and space. However,»a
little must be said about the work we
accomplished, to bring the reader up to
the present time and the subject of the
article mentioned above.
A great deal of time was spent the past
spring and summer by our Board of
Directors in bringing about a settlement
for damages between the settlers and the
Land & Water Co., for the loss of crops
due to a shortage of water in the fall of
1910, the second year of the settlement
of this tract. We felt sure that our
troubles along this line were over, for
we were assured of a continuous flow
through this season, but, to our surprise,
about the 20th of August we were in
formed that we were facing another
shortage of water.
Alrout this time the Land & Water Co.
went before the Slate Laud Board and
Director before the State Land Board
is the subject of the attack made against
our association, by the w riter of the ar
asked permission to segregate 14,000
acres of high land, to be watered from
our present supply, and as this land was
too high to come under the gravity sys
tem, the water was to be pumped by
power to come from the Great Shoshone
power plant.
Our association objected to this propo
sition for one reason, and one reason
only, and that was for three successive
years our Water company had failed to
supply sufficient water for irrigation pur
poses with less than 20,000 acres under
cultivation, when they were supposed to
have an abundance for 150,000 acres in
our segregation, and we felt that they
should demonstrate beyond a question of
doubt that tiiey'had^sufficieut water for
the land now in their segregation before
they were allowed to put an additional
burden on our present supply of water.
This objection, made by our Board of
tide mentioned above, and after quoting
at some length from the contract between
the Land & Water Co. and the State of
Idaho, and also from a recent decision
of the Supreme court in the case of the
State of Idaho and H. T. West, vs. the
Twin Falls Land & Water Co., and the
Co., stating
was necessary for him to make these
quotations because those taking the most
active part in the opposition of putting
this 14,000 acres under cultivation were
not familiar with these two documents.
I wish to thank the writer for his offer
to lend his copy of these documents for
the officers of our association to read,
but I wish also to state that perhaps
others interested in the welfare of this
tract have taken time to inform them
selves on matters pertaining to all serious
questions relating to our section of Lin
coln county.
The w riter at the close of the quota
tions made from the State contract, gives
the following:
"But in no case shall water rights or
shares he dedicated to any lands afore
mentioned, or sold beyond the carrying
capacity of the canal, or in excess of the
appropriation of water thereof."
I wish to quote the following from the
writers' article: "This appropriation of
water and the carrying capacity of the
canals are given at some length in the
contract and are approved by the State."
I will agree with the w'riter absolutely,
in that the size and carrying capacity of
our canals are specified in the State con
tract and are approved by the State, but
wish to state further that our canals
built on the ground, are NOT accepted
by the v State, and I wish to refer the
writer to the report made by Engineer
Blake to the State Land Board and ac
cepted by that body, as to whether
not some of our canals are built accord
ing to specifications as to their carrying
capacity as set forth in the state contract.
Because portions of our canals are NOT
built according to specifications, and be
j
or
cause our reservoirs «re not reservoirs
until they will hold water is the reason
wc are opposed to an .c, litional burden
on our water supply. and we propose to
oppose any such movement until these 1
defects are remedied.
Before making our objections to the
State Land Board we told Mr. MacWat- j
tcre that if he would sign a statement !
saying that they had plenty of water for
ilds 14 , 000 acres without putting an ad-'
ditional burden on our present supply.
we would withdraw our objection and
would lie glad to sec this land in cultiva- :
tion. Tins lie alieolutely refused to do, j
and at the meeting of the Land Board. ■
Attorney Hayes told the Board that they
did not intend to sign a statement that
the settlers could sue th'e company on,
admitting that they could not deliver the
goods and would lie in for a law suit
should they sign any such statement.
Toward the last of the article in the
.
, „ , . , .
please tell us how it will keep water in |
our ditches during the month of August
when we need - it most?
News, the writer tries to paint a flowery
picture of the Benefits to lie derived from
a land opening liere, brought about by
the sale of this land, and I will agree
that it no doubt would lx- a big boon for
our real estate men. but will some one
