! Denver Union Stock Yards,
Jan. %. Receipts were again
heavy at all markets last week.
The result was lower prices all
along the line except on the very
choicest grades. There is a good
outlet for good cattle but it was
simply case Of too many being
sent in. Supply here was. about
the same as the week before.
Average quality was q little better
but good many common cattle
were included. Competition was
good for the best and desirable
stuff closed about steady with the
week before, but common cattle
were dull and lower. Beef cattle
were not very plentiful and pack
ers could have used more. Sever
al loads Of cornfeds arrived and
sold largely at $500 to $5. 90.
Hsyfed steers ranged from 1925
to 1926 with the bulk around
So. so to $4.00. Cows we're good
sellers and choice ones a little
higher at the close. Common
cows very dull and market 10 to
15c. lower. Best cows sold at
$3.50, several punches going at
this figure, while most Of the pref
ty good kinds brought $2.75 to
1915. Medium to fair cows sold
mostly at 80. % to $2.75 and can
uers from 1926 down. Bulls
were fully steady and veals lit
tie stronger. There was good
many feeders and stockers here
but quality was rather common.
Inquiry was good, number Of
eastern buyers being here looking
for steers, however, and this and
inferior stuff was dull and closed
lower. Sales ranged largely from
So. 25 to $500 with tops at $4.15
Supply today was 5000 head,
quality good. Market active and
prices strong to little higher,
A large delegation Of feeder
buyers from the eastern markets
will be jim attendance at the big
show next week to buy the cattle
ofed at that time. Dealers here
are looking for very large volume
of business at. satisfactory prices.

There were no lights left in res.
licences. business houses or opera
houses. All the printing houses,
meat markets, roller mills, the
Asylum pumping plant and the
johnson pumping plant for the
city water works were left without
power. The printing houses got
along without doing much print
ing, the meat markets suspended

up their steam engine, which DR..
Hoover had rugged up for emer-
gencies, and Adolph Johnson
bonghta a steam engine from the
creamery company to furnish the
power for his pumping plant.

iiundred Foot Dam to be Built Just
| Above Mackay.
WORK TO BE COMMENCED IN MAY.
The Water VIII be used to Reclaim
100000 Acres Of Carey Land South
Of Arco, Idaho.

Within the next few days the
Big Lost River Land & Irrigation
company will file application with
the state land board for the segre-
cation Of 100000 acres Of barren
land in Blaine county under the
Carey act. The company has
under way 9 project for the irrlga-
tion Of this acreage.
The land is in the east portion
Of Blaine county about 40 miles
above Minidoka. The project, if
carried ont, will mean . great deal
to that section Of the country.
THERE'S about $4,000 acres Of
land in the valley already under
irrigation, and with 100, 900 acres
more it will provide homes for
thousands Of people.
According to T. w. Thomas,
secretary and manager Of the Big
Lost River Land and Irrigation
compsny, it is the purpose Of the
companyto puta 100 foot dam in
the Big Lost River about four
miles above Mackay, which will
store enough water to irrigate
100, 900 acres. The dam will be
above all the sinks of the river
and at a point where there is a
good supply Of water. The water
that is already being used from
the river for irrigation purposes is
being taken out at different points
between the sinks. The rights Of
tho people, said Mr.. Thomas, will
be resdjusted IN a satisfactory
manner to them.
Work was commenced on the
proposition in May Of last year
and, said Mr.. Thomas, it is ex-
pected to have all preliminary
work finished by May Of this year,
when the company will be ready
for actual work. The engineer
for the company, A. r. Adair, is
in this morning from the
Big Lost River country with his
final surveys.
Tie land which 1t is proposed to
irrigate. said Mr.. Thomas, is very
favorably situated. 1t is excel
lent soil, he said, for sugar beet
raising and also for grain. Not
many kinds Of fruit can be raised
here although winter apples will

are covered with timber which
may be easily reached for fuel,

he Short Line r. r. runs through
he land and If a main line is built
rom Wyoming it will almost have
o traverse the tract.
Adjoining the tract on the
northwest is . well known mining
Iection, among the mines being
he White Knob, Erie and Alto
districts.

AT $3.50 Friday morning, Janu
/, ary 18th. Blackfoot's small cleo
Y trio lights went out, and in a few
minutes the arc lights over the
streets failed. Great loss and
danger wereyimminent but no one
knew it. The gale which blew
from the southward, turning the
deep snow into sheets Of water that
stood everywhere, may have affec-
ted the wires that carry the cleo
trio current to and from the sub
station Of the Blackfoot Light and
Water company, but nobody could
help it. Something went wrong
in the conduits under the oil
switches at the station, the
current made nshort circuit" !,
great heat was generated which
= made the oil boil out Of the switch
box on the switch board, flames
licked up the oil, making more
heat and more overflow Of oil, and
a confagration had commenced,
which destroyed the station and
left the town without electric
light or power.
The story might be told in one
line.
"The sub station burned down.

flames from oil or the fire from a

get telephone communications to
ask the Pocateilo station to shut
off the current. He tried q chem

have been effective in wood fire,
but it made no impression here. |
He ran to the telephone exchange
and got Miss Glenn to notify the
Pocatello Office and to rouse the
Blackfoot people fast as possible.
A dozen or more men arrived
at the scene Of the fire before the
windows fell in and admitted the
draft which soon spread the flames
to the roof and walls Of the build
