Shoshone Park Proposal Amid Idaho Irrigation Co Debt Talks
The Blaine county filing seeks 347000 from the Idaho Irrigation Company for work by Slick Brothers on the dam and head gates. The company, amid debt and refinancing efforts, is praised as a strong West project. Local boosters urge buying land now under company segregation, push for a park east of the Little Wood river, and warn against losing the county seat to nearby towns. The Journal promotes park plans to keep Shoshone ahead and calls for investor confidence and local support.
