Water for Lewiston 1800 Acre Tract Could Pay Big
Hon. C A Hastings argues for municipal ownership and gravity fed water from Dowdwells to irrigate 1800 acres near Lewiston Idaho. He cites Vineland land values, future orchard growth, and growing fruit trains to claim land could rise to $1000 per acre within five to ten years, with total value over $2 million including improvements. He urges phased development, no arbitration, and steady municipal control.

Pack River Improvement Co seeks 40 miles of enhancement in Sand Point, Hambird Lumber Co aims to upgrade Priest river 65 miles from Priest Lake to the mouth at an estimated cost of 7 000 and 35 000 dollars respectively.
