Site Near Clear Lake.

Messrs. Beach, Kimball, Craven and
R. w. Jones together with number
of residents filed upon a power site
on the Snake river known as the
Devils washboard some time ago the
water power being developed by a
stream flowing from the Clear Lake.
According to the requirements of the
government certain amount of work
for improving such site must be
completed within given time and it
is to comply with the law that the
holders of the power site mentioned
are now working fourteen teams in
grading and leveling the ground to
make runway for flume. The
actual work of placing the flume and
developing the power will not be con-
sidered this year. but the gentlemen
will eventually use the falls for
power and lighting purposes some
where in this section of the state.
