The Right Reverend Rever-end John B. Hrondel, bishop of Helena, today announced the creation of three new parishes in Butte, together with the appointments for each. The action was taken after the bishop had conferred con-ferred with the members of his council, coun-cil, who came to Helena yesterday. The Catholic church in Butte has had such a marvelous growth that three new churches were considered absolutely necessary. Saint Patrick's church and the Church of Sacred Heart were not nearly large enough to accommodate the congregations, and the bishop, after carefully considering the question, decided to create three new parishes The new churches will be called "Church of the Holy Savior, Mead-ville; Mead-ville; Saint Joseph's church, South Butte, and Saint Mary's church, Dublin Dub-lin gulch.

Of this I'Sfi.WiO Is under cultivation and supplied with water. About 30(1.000 acre.? -more are thought to be irrigabje, but have not been surveyed or investigated. In the Hoise valley there are 310,000 acres of irrigable land, and (16.00 under cultivation, in the .Payette valley there there are S3.00O ai-rcs. with 44.000 under cultivation.

In the Cache valley I there are 60.000 acres, with lO.OoO tinder I cultivation: and in the Centile valley there are 40,000 acres, with 3.000 under cultivation. About 400,000 acres more are scattered about in small bodies, from a few hundred to lO.OoO acres In extent, located along . the '.smaller streams and" the upper tributaries of the larger rivers. I This makes a total of J.SC.Ooo aeres ! of irrigable land, including 1,062.000 under un-der canals and actual surveys, with aS.OOO acres under cultivation. These figures are carefully compiled from estimates es-timates received from about forty irrigation irri-gation systems in the state and from data on file in the oflice. The irrigable land in Idaho is limited in extent and is confined to narrow sections of country adjacent to the rivers. Tl esc figures show, however, j that onlv a small per cent of the land j under ditches is watered, and indicate the possibilities of future development. ' |
