THE CITY WITH POWER
LINES
Favorable Decision Received From

For Water Works.-Court Holds
Election Legal.

The Village board held a very inn
portant meeting last Monday night

made application for a franchise for
l.. L. Num- & Co.. for the right to
enter the city with a power line and
deliver to the citizens of the cOmmun-
ity electric energy for Lighting heat
ing and power The council went in
to the matter carefully and gave the
company a franchise, but not an eN-
elusive one. They reserve the priv
ilege of extending other franchises
should they see fit.
The maximum rates to be charged
by the new company for lighting Will
be Is cents per KIT. hour, cents for
power and $3.50 per arc light. 1t as
understood that the company viii
make special inducements to power
users, especially for irrigating pur-
poses. There should be a very large
market in this vicinity for power for
pumping purposes owing to the splen-
did land that lies above the ditch
line. The company is given until NO
vember 1st, to deliver electricity into
the city, after which date the fran
chise will be held void.
The council also took action on the
ordinance regulating monthly fees
of moving picture houses. The ordin-
ance was amended cutting the price
down from $40 to So per month.
Word was received that the Su-
preme court had decided favorably
regarding the bond issue. The cleo
ton was held regular and legal and
bonds could be issued without any
fear of trouble in the future. This
was received as good news and Will
permit work on the water works sys-
tenn to start at a very early date.

Now is the time to watch poiafo
vines closely for this insect. which
has already become quite widely dis
tributed In the northwest part Of the
state, and is spreading considerably
each year Shortly after the potato
vines come up In May or early June,
the beetle makes it's appearance on
the vines In new localities; If taken
in time It's spread can be prevented

trate the possibilities in checking its
spread. a single adult beetle was
found in a potato patch at the Ex-

1903 II had already deposited several
egg clusters on two or three adjacent
hills of potatoes The insect was de-
stroyed and the surrounding vines
carefully searched for all the eggs
that had been deposited which were
also destroyed. No more beetles were
seen that year. and none up to the

two years by this operation, there be-

Thinning Fruit.

The careful orchardist should now
be prepared to conduct systematic
and rapid thinning of his tree fruit.
Most trees set more fruit than they
can bring to maturity without inter
fering with their production in the tu-
ture. While thinning seems to be a
large task and also expensive, II Is
greatly to be recommended II pest
results are expected. Do not delay
thinning until the fruit is too large.
Start to thin when the fruit is about
the size of a hazel nut or as soon as
the grower can determine which Is
the best on the spur and after the
early droDs are over. One fruit to a
spur is sufficient. See that the fruit
is not allowed to remain on spurs
closer than the spread of the hand.
This. however. can not serve as an
accurate guide in all classes, for
some trees are able to bring to ma
turitv more fruit than others.
A knowledge of the yield in past
wears is quite essential to aid in jud-
iciouslv thinning. If the fruit is care
fully thinned each year and the tree
allowed only to mature that whlcn
will not overtax it's constitution, II
should bear a crop OF normal Irul'
annually, other factors being taVor-
able =,
Some growers prefer to use small
scissors or other specially devised IN
struments, while some prefer to turn
out the undesirable specimens with
the fingers.

DIAz BIDS MExIco FAREWELL
Warns His Country That His Meth
Ods Must BE Used to Secure
Peace.

WERE CRUZ. Mexico, May 31.-
General POrfiro Diaz said his fare
we'll to Mexico today. With his wife
and other members of the Diaz party
he boarded the steamer Ypiranga,
bound for Spain.
To his country General Diaz deliv-
cred a warning Speaking to the lit
tie group of soldiers who had sery-
ed as a guard on his trip from the
capital, the man who governed Mex
leo for more than 80 years by mil
Mary strength said the present gov
ernment must yet resort ito his meth
DDS if peace is to be re-estabhshed.
Wearing the same uniforms they
had on when they served as the gem
erals guard, the soldiers drew up in
'front.' of the home of J. B. Body
where the ex-president has been quar-
tered since his arrival in Vera Cruz,
under command of General Victoria
no Huerta, an old and personal friend
of General Diaz.
General Huerta addressed the for
mer president, telling his old chief
that he could always COUNT on these
men, Notwithstanding what every
one said
General Huerta's voice broke as
he added with perhaps more frank
ness than tact:
cit is the only portion of the coun-
try that did not go against you"
He declared that he and his men
and the army in general were sorry
to see General Diaz leave Mexico, but
that there was also reason for graft
dfication inasmuch as foreigners
would be given an opportunity to
know the man who had made his
country famous.
Throughout all of General Huertas
talk. Diaz stood like a soldier on pa
rade with his eyes front and never q
ltwitch of the muscles. Bravely he
began his reply, but before many min
utes, he was having great difficulty
in mastering his emotions.
Il am grateful to the army he
said. "that I could count on it to the
last moment of leaving Mexican ter
riaory. 1t is the only real defense the
country has and to re-establish peas'
in this republic its soldiers will have
to be called upin in this crisis.

James E. Clinton. Jr., Placed in
Charge of Lost River Irrigation
Company

BOISE. May 29.-James r. Clin-
ton, Jr., was today appointed by
Judge Franks. Dietrich receiver of
the Big Lost River Irrigation COM
pany to take charge of its affairs
pending the negotiations thF are
now under way to refnance the prof.
ect so that it can be handled by the
Chicago bonding house which pro-
poses and it is confidently believed
will refinance the project and carry
1t to a successful consummation. The
receivership was decided and har-
moniously agreed upon by the Corey
brothers. contractors heavily interest
ed in the project, the representativ-
es Of the Big Los River company and
the representative of the bonding
house.
The fact that Corey brothers had a
lien of approximately $500, 600 on the
proiect for past contract work and
had brought suit against the Big Lost
river people to recover the amount al
legged due, with the fact that nego-
tiations had recently been entered
into at Chicago for he re-financing
of the project made it imperative that
the Big Lost River company's busi-
ness be place din the hands of a re-
ceiver to prevent entangled legal
complications that might arise at
some future time.
The plans for the refnancing Of
the project we're entered into and IL
is generally understood and agreed
uDon at recent conference held in
Chicago with the representatives Of
the company. the interested contract
ors and he members of the bonding
house. An announcement TO that ef-
feet was made to the public at the
time and following the agreement
reached by all Interested parties.
The Big Lost river project is To-
Gated in southeastern Idaho and has
as its center the town of Mackay For
some time the promoting comnany
has been financially handicapped and
when it was launched. following an

/ largest in the world, was unsafe, the
state land board stopped work on
the project, refusing to allow the

taken. To assure safety to the set
tiers and the residents of the town
of Mackay he recent legislature aD-
propriated $4,000 with which to
construct a spillway over the dam
to carry off the heavy spring food
