IDAHO. 



At the last meeting of the State Land Board the 

 application of the West End Twin Falls Irrigation Com- 

 pany for an extension of time in which to get water upon 

 their lands was heard and taken under advisement. The 

 company made the argument that it would be unable to 

 complete construction work by the time originally speci- 

 fied, viz.: June 1, 1911, and requested an extension until 

 June 1, 1912. The board took the matter under advise- 

 ment.
