Government to pursue Minidoka reclamation project
Engineer D G Martin joins the reclamation service to lead Minidoka investigations while Idaho Governor asks Interior for guidance on Carey act segregation and land withdrawals. Geological Survey says Carey segregation would thwart federal reclamation. remaining lands will be withdrawn from entry except under homestead laws and reclamation work likely to be state or federal driven. The Boise Stateman notes government readiness to proceed, with private development unlikely to match scope or cost.

Electrical Traction and the Shoshone Falls Power Plan
The Statesman notes circulating talk that the Short Line railroad seeks power from Shoshone Falls to propel trains across the state. If true, this explains capitalists backing a broad-scale project and suggests such a transition may arrive sooner than expected. Electrical traction has proven feasible in other states, enabling high speed trains with minimal power costs.
