On the 18th of last March we

On the 25th Of last March we
filed our complaint in the case
of The People of Mountain
Home VS.. The Great Western
Beet Sugar Company, John II.
Garrett, ct al. There has never
been an answer filed openly in
this case. There has been much
talk on the part of the several
defendants, most of it to the
effect that the charges were OF
no consequence, because made
by a person of no standing and
no property to speak of, but up
to the present time the charges
made by this paper at that and
subsequent times have never
been answered. Meanwhile,
the jury in this Court of Public
Opinion has been considering
the case, and it is now almost
ready to render it's verdict.
Four months ago it was a thing
almost impossible to believe
that Mountain Home could ex-
list without Garrett; today the
number Of those who are Of
the opinion that Mountain Home
can prosper with him in charge
of the water system is so small
as to be almost insignificant.
The question Of the hour is no
longer, what shall we do with
Garrett? The only question is,
what is the best way to get rld
of him, and where shall we find
a man who can do the work ne
was unable to do? 1t is imper-
alive that some change should
be made at once. There is no
chance for water this year, and
no one now expects to get any.
But all know that if there is to
be any next season the work on
the system must be commenced
within a short time. There is
much that remains to be done.
Breaks must be repaired, canals
enlarged, dams raised, and
fumes made more substantial.
It is the duty of all who have
any sort of influence in these
matters to do all that is possible
to bring the matters now at
issue to a settlement.

The accompanying illustra-
ton shows Snake river at
American Falls as it was when
James H. Brady began the
erection of the Island power
house, in the summer of 1901.
The wagon bridge leading TO
the island was constructed
during the summer, but the
power house was not erected
until the following year, al
though blasting for it's found
alton was begun in December,
1901.
This was the beginning of
the development Of the great
power resources here, which is
as yet only begun, although
two power stations are now in
operation and about $50, 900
has been expended in excava-
tons and preliminary work
for a third. Power / folse No.
will be located at the foot of
the fall shown at the right of
the picture. The flow through
this channel has shut off pend
ing the completion of the
work. The volume of water
passing over the falls is not
only great. but is easily con-
trolled when compared to other
power sites. Although Amer.
lean Falls, Pocatello. Ross
Fork and Blackfoot are sup
piled with electric lighting anc
power from this place, only
about one-fortieth of their
ultimate capacityis developed.

PrOhibitiOnists in Mon.
days Election.

By Associated Press.
Shreveport, La, Jan. II After
one OF the most strenuous and exoit-
ing campaigns on record, Shreveport
was carried in favor of prohibition
today, toining Atlanta, Knoxville
and Birmingham in the dry column.
According to unofficial returns from
every precinct in the parish of Caddo
the majority for prohibition was al.
In the city proper there was a major
ity of 300 against prohibition. but tn e
country precincts overcame this with
majority of $50 for prohibition.
An unusually heavy vote was polled.
Will Be Contested.
1t is almost certain that the election
will be confessed in the courts On
several grounds, the most important
of which is the claim that the warning
issued by the campaign committees on
both sides that the negroes would no,
be permitted to vote was an intimida-
ton of voters, and makes the election
illegal.
Prohibition is to go into effect jan
uary l, 1909.

NEW RICE COUNTRY.
Some Interesting Facts Concernin z
Arkansas Rice District.

Mr.. John H. White, of the Louisi-
ana Irrigation and Mill Co. with
headquarters in Crowley, La. was in
the city between trains 10 day EN- route
home from visit to the new rice dis.
trio. of Arkansas, which he carefully
investigated for several weeks. Mr..
White says he is very much pleased
with what he saw
The country gives promises of de-
veloping as rapidly as has the rice
districts of Louisiana aud Texas, said
Mr.. White. In and around Lunuke
there are MANY farmers raising rice
now who formerly cut nothing, but hay
from their farms. At Stuttgart
small rice mill is now 10 operation,
of which Mr.. r. B. Ray, formerly
with the Star Rice mill of Crowley, is
manager. There is talk of another
rice mill being built at Little Rock
next wear, but this matter | under.
stand has not been settled yet. The
Arkansas rice lands are very similar
in soil and appearance to the rice
lands around Lake Charles. The
Yields, however, are much larger.
This season the average yield was
about fifteen bags to the acre: of
course. this Is all new land and Yields
heavily. The draw back of the coun.
try is the high price OF lands. Good
lands can not be bought for less than
S35 per acre, while some lands are
being held as high as $65. For o
new country these prices seem q little
high. The rice district OF Arkansas
is rapidly developing and is already Y
a factor in the rice industry Of the
| United States.
