of their plant to 900 horse and by doing will
then have under control only oneha of the possible
of the falls at this point, known American Falls, and

developing 10000 horse power.
second to add to the prosperity of American Falls

ALL COUNTY BILLS
LIKELY TO PASS
Senator Whitcome Declares
Bars are Now Down.
There is Yet Hope For the Indefi-
nitely Postponed Power County
Bill at the Hands of the
Present Session.

senator Whitcomb, who has op-
posed county divisions in the senate
ever since the beginning of the ses-
sion exposed the new steam roller
in a brief speech Thursday. Some
of the most damnable county divi-
sion bills have been rail roaded
twitted on having reversed his posi-
through this body" he said He was
tion on county division and replied:
THAT is true. But you have gone
beyond the limit. You have des-
troyed my original position. Now
any kind of an old county division
bill will go through"
The matter of the creation of the
county of Lewis was under consider
alton when Senator Whitcomb took
the floor and declared that the bars
were no down as far as county di-
vision was concerned.
In speaking of the session held
Thursday the Boise Statesman says:
"One steam roller was smashed
in the senate by the final vote on
the bill to create Lewis county. This
bill, that had been hanging in the
balance for days before the death of
the rail road commission bill, re-
ceived favorable report in the com
mittee of the whole and will it is
claimed have 13 votes when it comes
up for final passage
This is significant, it is asserted,
only in that it forecasts the passage
of other county bills through the
senate. Senate Whitcomb, who took
leading part in the death of the
rail road commission bill, asserted
that the bars were down and that
all county bill would now go
through the senate.
"In this same connection it is now
asserted that in the beginning there
was an ironclad coalition binding IL
senator's to the compact that just
two counties would be created this
session, one in the north and one
in the south. The passage through
the senate of the bill creating the
county of Adams, Jared two senators
loose from the coalition and the kill
ing of the rail road commission bill
not only smashed the old coalition
but gave birth to new one"
This turn of affairs in the senate
adds hope to the passage of the
Power county bill by that body. 1t
was indefinitely postponed by the
vote of II to 10 in the senate last
week, and it is hoped that it is
now possible to bring it before that
body for a vote under the condi-
tions now existing.

DESIRE FOR REVENGE BEHIND
MACKAY DAM CHARGES.
Engineer Says This With Desire for
Personal Gain Are Responsible
for the Charges.

The investigation of the proceed
ings of the state land board, called
to test some of the political talk
of the last campaign, when every
member of that board was can
didate for reelection, is proving fast
tha. there was nothing but talk In
the various charges made at that
time. The main charge was the
question of the Mackay dam and no
little political capital was made of
it. There were made at such
time that investigation could not be
made in time to do any good be-
fore the election. Now through the
efforts of those mostly Interested
an investigation is being carried on
anG developments are fast clearing
all suspicion of wrong doing.
The Boise Capital News of the
21st has the following to say regard
ing what is being revealed regarding
the construction of the big dam at
Mackay and is directly in line with
considerable other information made
public through the invetigation:
In communication to this pa
per a civil engineer fully conyer-
SAINT with the celebrated Mackay
dam controversy by reason of long
connection with it during its con-
struotion and subsequent thereto,
tells a startling story of the other
side of the case. He makes the opel
charge that some one connected VIII
the famous citizens committee OF
Mackay had been engaged by the
former owner of the Lost River
proiect to sell it's lands, but when II
present company took charge of the
nroiect the agency was taken from
him and placed elsewhere, and that
accordingly desire for revenge
filled the heart of the former agent
He also charges that certain citizens
OF Mackay have secured control OF
the only other damsite possible FOL
this project and have proceeded &c
condemn the present site and dam
for the purpose of forcing sale OF
their own site to the company lie
also makes the charge that when tn
expert engaged by the citizens com
raittee of Mackay went there to III
spec the dam and conditions sur
rounding it, he was purposely KEEP
from gaining certain vital lntorma
ton necessary to a complete under
standing of the situation and ina
he was. therefore, misled and de
ceiyed.

ZARING BOWLING TEAM
NOW HOLDS FIRST PLACE
Takes That Honor From the Sig
mOnds.-Lang's Score of 1S9
is High.

The Sigmond bowling team went
down the line peg since last week
and are now in second place with
the Earring team above hten Sig
mohd and his line up lost three to
the Logan bunch and Earring pushed
his men to pass three over on the
Lawson bunch.
Lang who was the star player of
the week, headed all players with
score of 189, while Jeffries of the
Logan team, made him go some with
1877. Several games during the past
week run close to 500, which shows
Improvement in the playing of the
teams. Only two contests were pull
ed off on account of Mondays con-
test being postponed to give way to
the farmers institute session.
The Friday contest between the
Earrings and the Lawsons was rather
one sided, Earrings winning all three
by good margins. 1t was in the first
contest that Lang passed one over
in the score of 189, but could not
get close to his own record again in
the contest. Their scores were:

WORKING ON PLANS
TO INCREASE PLANT
Surveys Made Last Week for
10000 Power Plant.
One Half of the Possible Power at
This Point to be Developed to
Meet the Increasing Demand
For Power

Surveys were made the past week
for the erection of power house No.
3 on the power site at the falls here
by the Idaho Consolidated Power Co
and plans are now being drawn by
architects for the building and plans
for the machinery to be installed
are also being drawn and will be
submitted to the company within a
short. Pans for the installation of
machinery capable of developing 80.
600 horse power are being worked
out both with horizontal and per-
pendicular wheels and it is the in
tention of the company to place the
best machinery possible in the new
building.
Work is expected to commence
on the building early in the spring.
as it is absolutely necessary to en-
large the plant soon, for at times
the present plant is carrying all the
load capable of development, and as
the load is gradually increasing, it
is necessary to enlarge to meet the
demands. Several extensions are
being planned which will be worked
out as soon as the capacity of the
plant is enlarged to be able to sup
Aberdeen to Blackfoo is one and
into the Rockland valley is another.
The line runs now to Blackfoot via
Pocatello, but it is the desire of the
company to have a citcuit either
way SO that trouble on the line in
any direction would not interfer will
the service at any point where the
current is supplied.
This undertaking on the part Of
the company will mean the expendi-
ture of many thousands of dollars
in American Falls and means that
this point is to be the supply center
! for a vast territory in this section
of Idaho.
I. is generally understood that the
Oregon Short Line will use a large
shar eof the increased power in theiI
big shops in Pocatello and some
have gone so far as to say that they
will use electricity to propell their
trains through this portion of the
state so far west as Huntington. No
matter who is to use this vast in
crease in power to be developed by
the company here, it is assured us
that the enlargement is to take plac
during the coming summer.
With the completion of this plant
capable of developing 10000 horse
power, it means that only half of
the possible power at the great falls
here has been developed, as it is es-
timated that it's capacity is so 900
horse power.

some length on this subject which
is now becoming such a part in the
development of Idaho.
The Tuesday morning session was
given over to the growing of forage
crops by irrigation. Alfalfa being
the staple crop of this line. The
afternoon and last session of the in

THE ROCKLAND RAILROAD

Securing of Subscriptions to Stock

Success.

That the people of the Rockland

by the fact that those working in

such a general interest been shown

GOLD ROSARY
 FOR GIBBONS
Presented to the Cardinal by Knights of Columbus at
 His Jubilee

Baltimore, Md, Oct. 1.-The opening of the first National Congress of the Holy Name Society and the presen- tation of a golden rosary to Cardinal Gibbons constituted the chief features yesterday in the cardinals jubilee cele- bration The rosary is composed of gold nuggets mined by a Newfound- land miner, and was presented to the cardinal by the Knights of Columbus of America, with a set of engrOssed resolutions of congrat tulation passed by the national organization of the knights.
 Cardinal Gibbons, who spoke very briefly at the Holy Name convention told the delegates that he did not know of any society in the United more to the American people at large than the Society of the Holy Name.
 Mgr. Falconio, the apostolic dele gate read a letter from Cardinal Mer- ry del Val. the papal secretary of state. transmitting the Pope's approv- al of the congress and his apostolic benediction to the members of the society and those attending the con- vention.
 Resolutions were passed dealing with the following subjects: Proposing plans for an extensive campaign to establish Holy Name societies in every parish; 1; reaffirming the chief pledge of the society against profanity and urging members to work to restrict this hab- it; deploring the laxity of Sunday ob- servance in some localities; indorsing the Christ child badge as the official insignia of the society; accepting the 300 days indulgence offered by the Pope for all members who wore pub licly the official badge; deploring pro- fanity on the stage, obscene postal cards and immoral moving picture ex- hibtions and pledging itself to work in every way to have these evils ended.
 At their meeting at Calvert hall the bishops agreed that an archbishop be chosen to act as director-general of the Holy Name society. The arch bishop will be designated at some future meeting of the hierarchy.
 The bishops also endorsed plan for establishing junior Holy Name so- cietieS.
