ernment has been devoting its time to 

 the more difficult engineering problems. 

 As time goes on all irrigating problems 

 will be more difficult engineering feats, 

 and the area of land that will be put 

 under water will be much less in acre- 

 age. Values will constantly rise, and 

 while there are thousands of oppor- 

 tunities in the West at the present time, 

 in a few years from now the same 

 people that are investing at this time 

 will see their land double and treble in 



value. The people in the East and Mid- 

 dle West are just beginning to realize 

 these advantages and in one tract that 

 was opened the first of June in south- 

 ern Idaho, if every person had been 

 given land that applied for the same, 

 each would have received about four 

 acres. This is one fact that goes to 

 show the tendency of the times, and 

 this same tendency is growing day by 

 day, as the people are becoming famil- 

 iar with western possibilities.
