these remarks were concurred in by
representatives from Anderson, Bel

by each Of these gentlemen relative to
service on this line. which would
come directly under the authority OF
the railroad commission. while the
operation Of the third train under the
law is without our authority. Many
statements were made at this meeting
by both sides which were misleading.
After carefully listening to both sides
I came to the conclusion that the
question at issue was not intelligently
discussed.

by prisoners at that time. He was a
captain in the civil war and has a
splendid army record. AS a member
of the first Idaho legislature he took
an active part In political affairs of

Power Play ed Out

Owing to Ieaky boilers the steam
plant of the Watertown Gas and Elec-
trio company was shut down during
last night to allow of necessary re-
pairs. In consequence the lights on
the streets and in residences were no.
tlceable by their absence and in lieu
OF them in many households the kero-
sene lamp and candle was brought in
to use to tide over until the repairs
could be made. The power was turned
on at 10 o'c.ock this morning but in
the meantime the factories and news
paper offices depending on the plant
could not be operated.
Manager Comstock of the company
is having troubles of his own these
days, but when the new power house
at the rough and ready dam is COM
pleted there will be no further cause
| for trouble owing to lack of current,
as the kilbourn dam power can then
be utilized as well as the power from
| the rough and ready dam, which was
recently torn out and which accounts
| in a measure for the present trouble,
as the whole electric load must be
| carried by the steam plant.
| A force of boiler makers and steam
| filters were at work most of the night
getting the boilers in readiness and
making the necessary repairs, and it
! is now thought that no further trou-
! BILE will be experienced until the wa
