Engineers have approved plans for the construction 

 of a dam across the Snake River, near American Falls, for 

 the reclamation of 600,000 acres located in what is known 

 as the Bruneau district. By raising the river thirty-four feet 

 water will be backed up from American Falls to Blackfoot 

 on the Snake, and almost to Pocatello on the Portneuf. It 

 is stated that as soon as plats are properly approved, pro- 

 motors will start active construction work. Idaho capi- 

 talists are largely interested.

 nearly 100,000 acres will brought under water.
