IMMENSE POWER FROM AMERICAN FALLS

The Idaho Consolidated Power
company have now under way work
preparatory to installing 1OOO-horse
power unit in the island power house
at American Falls. says the Press.
Work has been under way for some
little time and orders have been placed
for the hydraulic and electrical units.
The phenomenal growth of the busi-
ness which the company has enjoy
ed in the past few years. together
with the large prospective use for
power at this place, make 1t necessary
to Increase the capacity.
Several hundred horse power for
motors has been spoken for. and the
company will rush the work of install
lation to early completion. At the
time this plant was constructed prep
arations were made for this installa-
ton and as a result these improve
ments can be made easily. A pit has
been sunk to connect with the tun-
mel underneath the station which will
soon be broken through and the pow
er house closed until the repairs are
made.
1t was the original plan TO make
this improvement at Station No. l,
where the tunnels were driven when
that plant was installed, so that its
capacity could be doubled. but this
would require an addition to the sta
tf0x ond sts b,,iidjp1 ,v,uid roottire
a longer time.
Whether the several hundred
horsepower for motors" has any ref
erence to the electric railway which
Is to be built from here, or TO the pro-
jected electric smelter, is not known,
but there is reason for believing that
it may have some reference to the
former. The projectors of the cleo
week, and are said to have made the
statement that work of its construc-
ton would begin as soon as the canai
is completed, or possibly before.

II cannot say" said G. c. Mitchell
this morning, says the Yakima Re-
public, whether lime and sulphur
spray, as recommended by the de-
partment of agriculture OF the federal
government, is specific for rabbits
or not. What do know is that i

and I was not bothered by the rab-
bits and I painted but once. The de-
partment recommended several an
plications When I used the lime
and sulphur spray the rabbits had
already begun work and I will have
to replace some 20 trees. They stop
ped after the material was used. We
had no particularly severe weather, ot
course, and the conditions were not
proper for a severe test. My neigh
bors acted as I did and used the So

have happened to the orchards IL they
had been left without the medicine
as recommended. AS we all treated
alike and all got off without damage.

T. T. Geer, while In Baker city
this week explained the feeling in
Union county concerning his action
over the division of Union county
while governor several years ago. In
1901 a portion of Union county
known as the panhandle" was cut
off and attached to Baker, Mr.. Geer
then being governor.
The people of Union always claim
ed that Geer broke faith with them
and Mr.. Geer's explanation Is inter-
estlng for this reason. He says to the
Baker city Herald of the mattek
There is certainly great variety
of results that comes from contradic-
tory causes and being in Baker City
recalls one of them. In the leglsla,
tive session of 1901 there was a bill
passed which took the Panhandle
from Union county and gave 1t to
Baker. .,lnMA
There was much feeling engen-
dered on account of it as the town of
Union conceived that If 1t lost the
Panhandle 1t would later result In
throwing the county seat to La
Grande. During the consideration or
the bill I was asked by the senators
from both Baker and Union, If. as
governor, 1 would keep hands off, to
which l replied l would, OF course
and the side which won should re-
main the victor as far us executive
interference was concerned.
This was perfectly satisfactory.
Judge Smith was senator from Baker
and Justin Wade senator from Union.
In the contest Baker won by a small
margin and the Panhandle became
the property of Baker county I'M
mediately upon the passage of the
bill long distance phone call from
Union reached me in which II was
afterward claimed that was re-
quested to hold the bill until the
Union people could get up a remon-
STRANGE against it signed by the peo,
pie living in the Panhandle.
The talk was very indlstlnct and
was never fully understood by me or
should have told them. what they
know, that as l had promised to keep
hands off, l should under any cir,
cumstances be compelled to keep my
word to both sides. l simply under
stood that a committe was coming to
see me and to hold the bill until II
arrived, which l did.
"But upon its arrival I was pre-
sented with a largely signed remon-
STRANGE against the measure, and, as
should have been known, l refused
to interfere with a veto which l had
assured both sides should not be
used. OF course, the remonstrance
which was presented to me- should
have been secured a month before
for the use of the legislature while
the bill was before 1t. The town only
woke up after the bill had passed the
legislature
But it was enough to sour the peo-
pie Of Union against me, and. will
you believe it, at the primary election
two years ago, out of the $50 repub-
lican votes cast in the two Union pre-
cincts, only received five.
Ordinarily before the Panhandle
episode l would have received every
republican vote in the two precincts
and, since l, was defeated for the
nomination for governor by 260 votes
it will be seen that the adverse boat
of Union deprived me of the nomina-
ton and, presumably, OF the office
of governor for four years.
