Idaho Land Water Case Ends Long Salmon River Fight
Federal Judge Detrich renders complete decision in Caldwell et al. vs Twin Falls Salmon Timber Land and Water Co. over Salmon River irrigation. Intervenors represented by Hackman receive limited mention. The ruling fixes water duty at two and one third acre feet per year per farm, estimates average delivery at about 66 600 acre feet, and holds project expenses as construction cost rather than maintenance. The decision notes potential settlement via negotiation or irrigation district formation.
