made by those who contemplate

GARRETT CARRIES OUT HIS
THREAT---CUTS OFF POWER
Declares Neither Contract Nor Law Shall Stop
Him from Disseminating Electric Service
to the Republican.

the rights of all who in any way
fellunder his displeasure. Know
ing we'll at the time that he
could not hope to have his
actions in depriving a citizen of
Mountain Home of the use of a
public utility, sustained by the
courts, he nevertheless deter
mined to do all the damage he
could and run chances on finding
this new victim of his schemes
afraid to take any steps to
oppose him. Advised by his own
attorney that the contract under
which the Republican was re-
ceiving electric power was prob
ably good and enforceable, he
persisted in his determination
to show the people of Mountain
Home that he was superior to
all law, and teach them once for
all the futility of opposing him
in anything.
What the outcome of this
latest outrage will be remains
to be seen. Immediately after
the threat had been carried out
the Republican took steps to
obtain a judicial determination
of the right of the electric light
company to thus discontinue
service to a customer, at the
same time asking for damages
from the company for it's alleged
unlawful cutting off of it's SER
vice to that paper. A tempo
rary injunction was obtained
Tuesday afternoon from Judge
Walters of the District court,
by the terms of which the COM
pany was commanded to re-
connect the wires to the Repub-
lican office and furnish the
power and light service to that
office until the 9th of this
month, at which time the Court
orders the company to appear
and show cause why the injunc-
tion should not be continued
until the final hearing of the
case, which will be held during
the October term of Court.

BUILD This WAY
Evening Capital News Reports Big
Railroad Company Is Coming
Through Idaho.

According to the Evening
Capital News of Tuesday, the
Chicago & Northwestern rail
road company is now planning
an extension of its line from
Lander, Wyoming to Boise and
on to the Coast, and is already
engaged in construction work
to that end. There have been
many rumors to that effect for
the past few months, but none
of them have been confirmed in
any substantial way. 1t is un-
disputed, however, that the
Northwestern is contemplating
a westward extension from it's
present terminal point, and such
an extension would naturally
pass through southern Idaho,
and in all probability through
Elmore county, and not far
from Mountain Home. The busi-
ness men Of this town are natur-
ally taking a considerable in
terest in this prospect, for all
realize the many advantages
which another railroad would
give our town. An effort will
probably be made to ascertain
whether the proposed extension
will pass near here, for the pur-
pose of getting ready to offer
inducements to the company to
establish a station here.

Angered beyond all control at
the unceasing attack of the
Republican upon the manage
ment of the Great Western Beet
Sugar company, and unable to
meet those attacks by any ans
wer to the criticisms made in
that paper, since all of them are
admitted by all to be well
founded in fact, J. H. Garrett
carried out his threat to cut off
the Republican from the use of
electric power from the Noun
tain Home Electric company, of
which he is the general mana
ger, and sent an employee of
the company Monday to cut the
wires leading to the Republican
office. The wires were cut
shortly after noon on that day,
and since that time the Repub-
lican office has been deprived
Of both lights and power. This
action was taken in pursuance
of the notice sent to that office
on the 29th of last month, a
copy Of which was published in
the Republican of the Sd of this
month. No reason for such
action was given in that notice,
nor has any since been given to
anyone connected with that
paper, but it is generally under
stood that the motive behind it
is simply that of doing as much
damage to the paper as possible,
on account of it's attitude to-
ward the Great Western Beet
Sugar company, and not because
of any differences between that
paper and the Electric company
for none such exist or ever have.
This bold and lawless attempt
on the part of Garrett to intimi-
date all who are criticizlng his
management of the affairs of
the irrigation company was not
made under any cloak of right
or legality, but purely under the
assumed divine right of this
self constituted monarch of
Mountain Home to disregard

MORE FARMERS
MEAN Less SHEEP
Woolgrowers Make Last Stand in
Central Idaho---Clip Decreases
Eighty Per Cent.

While the sheepmen are in
vading the ranges in the Salmon
river section and driving the
cattle from the country, writes
aLewiston correspondent to the
Spokane Spokesman-Review,th the
story of the passing of the sheep
industry in Idaho is told by the
estimates of wool buyers, which
show the wool crop to have de-
preciated more than eighty per
cent.
Not many years ago the CEN
trail Idaho clip was one of the
important purchases in the
northwest territory and buyers
from all sections focked here to
bid for the one million pounds
annually placed on the market.
The estimates of buyers who
reached the city lately show the
clip this year will not exceed
one hundred and fifty thousand
pounds.
The two-mile limit law was
the first advance against the
sheepmen by the settlers and
following closely were the advo-

has driven the stockmen to the
untitled sections removed from
transportation and the last stand
in central Idaho is now being
