Minidoka irrigation clash spurs mass meeting near Burdette
A mass meeting at Minidoka factions urged President Roosevelt to block the withdrawal of 1,000,000 from the Minidoka irrigation project for the Boise-Payette scheme. Settlers fear loss of pumping works and land claims already begun, with a telegram demanding justice and an adequate deal. Also notes long-term moves of S B Camp to Twin Falls and Geneva residents’ departure amid irrigation growth and local band leadership.

Land office orders curb leasing of federal lands to liquor sellers
U S Land Office officials across multiple western states were instructed by the General Land Office to announce that leasing segregated lands under the 1902 Reclamation Act to liquor operators will be grounds for canceling entries. Enforcement includes ejectment or injunctions to prevent such use, amid deteriorating conditions in Nevada where government works employ thousands. The move aims to curb theft and violence associated with liquor operations on government lands. In related notes, The Statesman reports that from January 1 to March 20 the Oregon Short Line carried an estimated 1500 to 1800 new Idaho-bound travelers, with colonist ticket sales from eastern points to Idaho, Oregon, and Washington starting March 1 and continuing to May 15.
