Show Big Ditch in Idaho. Rhode Island capitalists have in contemplation con-templation taking water out of the Bru-neau Bru-neau river to cover a large body of land between that river and Snake river. The river will be dammed at the canyon about one and a half mile above its mouth and a large ditch taken out at that point carrying sufficient water to reclaim 50,000 acres of land. A survey will shortly be made, and it is expected that work will commence this spring. This is an important enterprise and will open up a large country to settlers. Boise States- man. |
