The power plant of the Great hSo
shone & Twin Falls Water Power
company, at Lower Salmon Falls
has been completed and is now in
operation, according to the an
nouncement- made yesterday by S
H. Hays, the well known attorney
who stated that a dam somewhat
augments the fall of the river at
that point, giving a total fall of so
feet.
In discussing this important step
Mr.. Hays said in part:
This is the beginning of the in
installation of one of the greatest
power plants in the west, as it will
have an ultimate capacity of 10000
horse power At the present time 9
capacity of 1000 horse power is in
stalled
Owing to the character of the
power plants being installed, Idaho
is destined to be the field where
the greatest electrical experiments
of the future will be made. The
Great Shoshone & Twin Falls Water
Power company has already made
extensive experiments in the way of
furnishing electricity for heating
purpose. More buildings are now
heated with electricity in Twin Falls
and Jerome than in any other towns
of their size in the world.
Heating by electricity has been
looked upon as being practical
imposibility, and in most localities
this will probably always be the
case.
This company has already made
experiments which have considerably
advanced the heating problem, and
it is probable that southern Idaho
will be the first locality where cleo
tricity is extensively used for heat
ing purposes. The company offers
every inducement to the people to
use electricity not only for lighting
but for all household and power pur
poses
Considering their size, there are
more miles of electrical transmission
wires on the Twin Falls north and
south side projects Including the
Salmon river project, than in any
other similar district in the United
States "-Gooding Leader.

Cutting Out Sale of Near Beer
Judge Steele Hands Down Decision in Lathah County,
That Will Knock Out the Sale of Near Beer, in
Idaho, if Upheld by Supreme Court

Judge Steele, of Moscow, in the
district court in Latah county, has
just handed down a decision that
If supported by the supreme court,
will make the dry counties of Ida
no so dry that a camel passing over
the state will have to pack his own
water bottle and train himself to go
without a drink for a longer time
than he ever dreamed of in his orig
inal desert
1t is to the effect that all the
near BEERS" so-called prohibition
beers and other malt liquors that
have been devised to be sold un-
der a prohibition law, fall within the
meaning of the law that prohibits
their sale without license accord
ing to the state law.
Judge Steele says that Under
the act of 1891 to regulate the sale
of intoxicating liquors the legisla-
ture in the exercise of its police
power may prohibit the saleof any
malt liquors and where it is matter
of common knowledge that it would
render the law regulating the sale
enforcement unless the sale of all
malt liquors be prohibited and when

C. p Fearing who owns a fine

the range hogs the sheep men who
persist in grazing their flocks where
they are not wanted-and the intro

the traffic in malt liquor is liable
to be used as a cloak under which
to violate the law the legislature un
questionably has the power to pro-
hibit the sale of malt liquor as a
proper means of regulating the sale
OF Intoxicating liquors.
Both the title and body of the
act state that molt is one of the
several kinds of liquor to be regu-
lated and shall not be sold without
license. So far as the act is con-
cerned 1T holds that malt liquor is
Intoxicating and as matter of law
no PROOF can be heard as to its in
toxipcating qualities
In the case before the court, the
liquor sold was known as near
beer" but admitted by the vendors
to be a malt liquor"
Judge Steele's ruling will put out
of business in his district about 100
establishments 1T is said.
Dealers have been pretty gener-
ally assured by the manufacturers
and wholesalers that no prosecution
would be sustained for selling malt
liquor unless it contained more than
2 per cent alcohol.

Chief Deputy Livingston Leaves Hay
Spur Hatchery With $4,000 Fry
for Stocking State Streams

ter with. compressed air, that works
to almost absolute perfection. 1t is
an air compressor worked by the ex-
steam from the locomotive, and it is
the greatest invention in the handl-
ing of fish that has been brought
forward in half a century. About all
the attendant has to do is to keep
his engine oiled, see that the air is
bubbling steadily through the pipes,
and the fish are as safe as ii they
were being rocked in their own lit
tie cradles at home. In some Of the
shipments last year the los was so
small as to be practically nothing at
all-only 200 to 800 out of ship
ment of 100000 or more from the
Hay Spur hatchery, to the northern
part of the state The water always
has to be iced to keep it to the pro-
per temperature for the young fish
they need it not so very far above
the freezing point.
No other state in the Northwest
state fish and game department ex-
poets to make even the present ex-
cellent record look rather small by
the time the three hatcheries are up
to their full capacity. The first is
only three years old; the other were
established only last year. The to-
tai capacity of the three hatcheries
will be about ten million trout fry
a year-enough to keep the streams
of the state stocked so that the fish
erman can always count on finding
fish when he goes out after them.
Then if he doesn't catch them. it's
his own fanlt.

THAT "IRON MAN"
Recorder Mighty Busy Training Him
To Do AS He's Told.

The Recorder hasn't yet learned
all there is to know about the new
chine onstalled in this office last
week. Some few minor details
such as the price the freight-this
last item alone amounted to $3.50 in
all-haye been mastered quite full
ly And the proofs that are being
set ON the machine If not perfect,
are at least not so bad as they were
the first week. But the real speed
and accuracy that comes from long
acquaintance with the machine is
not yet part of the Recorder her
itoge. Mr.. Tage the company rep
resentative who set up the machine,
can make 1t sing like lark or eat
out of his hand OF wall like lost
soul on rainy night. Maybe the
same ability will come to the Re
corder after seventeen years of ex-
perience such as he has had. In
the meantime the new owners will
try to get a working acquaintance
with the 5000 separate pieces that
enter into the composition of the
machine and see what perseverance
will do in the way of proficiency.

Dry Homestead Bill for Idaho

On condition that the senate sep.

bill from the withdrawal bill, Presi.
dent Taft has given the assurance
to Senator Borah and three other
western senators that he would not
sign the withdrawal bill until both
ouses had agreed on and passed a
bill making available at least $2O,-
100000 for irrigation. When this
assurance was received from the
White House the senate recalled the
conservation bill took from it the
$50, 700, 900 amendment, and let the
withdrawal bill go back to the
house. The house will take immedi
ate action on the withdrawal bill.
The compromise reached today in
sures at least $20,000,000, and per-
haps more, for irrigation. After
the house acts an effort will be
made in the senate to substitute
s3O,OO0,OOO for $20,000,00O and to
hold the larger amount in confer

"The senate witnessed yesterday

fight in that body. During the con-

amendment appropriating 100000

ho. The objection of senator re-
suits in the elimination of an en-
tirely new amendment An objec-
tion on the part Of Senator Hale,
knocked out the amendment offered
by the Idaho senator.
''In few minutes amendments
for surveys in Nevada, Oregon, Utah
and Alaska, which were placed in
the bill by the eSnate Committee on
Appropriations, came before the SEN
ate for action. Senator Hepburn OBJ
jected to each in turn, despite the
urgent appeals of senators from the
states affected to withdraw his OBJ
lection.
