Governor Gooding returned yes
terday from trip to the Twin
Falls dam, says the Statesman. He
was guest of General Manager
| Bancroft OF the Short Line in a
party that included Traffic Man
ager Schumacher. The governor
had intended to 60 to Salt Lake to
confer with Mr.. Bancroft on the
question of stopovers and side trip
privileges for passengers passing
over the Short Line to and from
the Portland fair. When he was
advised that they were coming to
Idaho he made arrangements to
met them at Shoshone and go over
the Minidoka branch with them.
On the trip he took up the stop
over and side trip subject. While
he was given no definite reply, as
it was matter that could not be
decided by the railway officials off
hand, he says he feels greatly en-
couraged. He entertains strong
hopes that the concession, which
would prove of such great benefit
to the southern part of the state
would be granted.
The governor went with the par
ty over the branch from Minidoka
to Snake river. They drove from
the present terminal to the Twin
Falls dam, a distance of IA miles.
II was impressed with the thor
oughness of the construction, said
the governor, "and with the success
of the gigantic undertaking in every
particular, it was gratifying to me
to witness the contamination of the
mammoth enterprise, fraught with
such marvellous possibilities for the
development of the state.
"All the members of the party
became enthusiastic over the sight
of the falls created by the water
being sent over the island at the
dam. Ii is beautiful spectacle
worth going many miles to wit
ness"

A Switch At Deer Creek.

John Williams, the manager OF
the Wood River Zinc company,
who went to Salt Lake for the pur-
pose, had very satisfactory inter-
view last Wednesday with Vice
President and General Manager
Bancroft and General Traffic Man
ager Schumacher of the Oregon
Short Line railroad.
AS result the railway managers
named agreed to send a corps of
engineers here at once to survey
for side track and station at Deer
Creek, with the understanding that
it will be completed by the first Of
May.
Later on if the zinc production
increases as to justify substan-
tial addition to the capacity of the
zinc company's mill, spur will be
run up Deer Creek.-Wood River

Ballad Of the Beach.

The long sea rollers whitened.
Surged with their endless roar.
Then broke like armies frightened
Upon the shingly shore
Rolling our feet before

Where. in those days of yore,
We twain sat hand in hand.
The 1.-THE. soft fingers frightened
And. at the touch. once more
The wide horizon frightened
With promise that 1t bore:
What visions dreams galore,
What airy castles planned,
Old memories restored
We twain sat hand In hand,
The chaperon had lightened
Her dreary watching sore.
So while the tide wave heightened,
The evening slowly wore.
The suns last rays were DER
The ocean and the land.
And night began to lower.
We twain sat hand IN hand
Go ballad. to her door,
Before my lady standi
My heart again implore-

John A. Bagley, who has been
here as attorney in the Cassia
county damage case, left for Salt
Lake Friday afternoon, says the
Boise Statesman. He stated he
WAS going down there to attend a
meeting of stockholders and direct
tors OF new power company that
had been organized to generate
electrical energy at Shoshone Falls
and convey it to points in Utah.
Mr.. Bagley stated the company
was known as the Shoshone Power
company. It's articles of incorpor-
alton had been filed in Cassia
county, and would be filed with
the secretary of state in day or
two. The company was capital
lied for 100000, he added, and
that about 20 of the leading bust
ness men of Salt Lake were among
the subscribers to the stock.
Continuing, Mr.. Bagley said the
president of the company was
Francis M. Lyman, the apostle. 9th
er officers and directors were: John
A. Bagley, vice president and gen.
eral counsel; L. R. Martineau, sec
rotary and treasurer; F. NJ. Lyman,
Jr., chief engineer, and A. l.. Wool
ley. Among the stockholders were
Heber J. Grant, John Henry Smith,
b. F. Grant and Spencer Clawson-
Mr.. Bagley said the company
had power site on the south side
of the river, and had right to
1900 second-feet of water. 1t was
the plan to take the water from
the river through tunnel 400 feet
in length bored through the solid
rock and drop it into a penstock
with fall of 200 feet. 1t was cal
culated to generate $1,000 horse
power.
The estimated cost of installing
the power plant and building the
transmission line, Mr.. Bagley add
ed, was 100000, while another
million would be expended in the
building of distributing stations
and equipment of subsidiary COM
panies. The length of the line to
Salt Lake would be 165 miles.
1t was the intention to supply
power not only to Salt Lake, but
also to Ogden, Provo, and many
other points. The company would
sell the electrical energy at whole
sale, Mr.. Bagley explained, and
would deliver it wherever it should
be needed in sufficient quantity to
Justify the construction of lines.
The company, it was said furth-
er, would make an application for
a franchise in Salt Lake for sup
plying electricity for light and
power purposes. Among the pa
irons of the company would be
number of interurban railway COM
panies in Utah. Mr.. Bagley made
the further statement that they
had a market in sight for all the
power that could be generated by
the proposed plant.
