dro-electric current from the Keokuk
dam.
More than 100000 feet of cables are
being laid in the conduits by these
two corporations. three-fourths OF
which are for the electric light com
pany.
The Improvement is probably the
largest piece Of underground wiring
work ever done in that city at one
time. The main conduits, being laid
from the new substation at Page ave
nue. in st. Louis county have sixteen
ducts or cables transmitting the high
tension current, which is to be dis
tributed by the electric light company
for manufacturing purposes at rate
about 30 per cent cheaper than the
old rates.
The new cables will connect with
the Lewis and Ashley street stations
OF the Union Electric Light and Pow
er Company on the river front, going
Dy way Of Page avenue, Kingshigh-
way and Easton avenue to Third

street. A second route OF cables also
probably will be laid from the Page

Hamilton, Delmar and Taylor avenues
to Morgan street and over vandeven-
ter, Bell and Garrison avenues to Eas.
ton avenue.
The amount Of cable required for
these two routes will be about 375 900

WATER POWER PLAN A VISION
D. C. Patterson Says Rights Should
Not Go to Spectators.
HE FAvoRs PUBLIC OWNERSHIP


d. c. Patterson, who put in many
Years working for public ownership OF
water power. was asked his views on
the opposition to the granting OF any
water power rights at any point in the
state and he replied: Il have no interest
whatever in any particular water power
development, but as property owner In
Omaha I am much interested In seeing
some water power development as soon
as possible. l thought Il. 3. Howell was
a Progressive ard was greatly sur
prised to read his moSsbaek views. He

ownership of this water power. yet for
these reasons look upon his scheme as
impracticable and visionary, yet he no
doubt will have the entire support of the
corporate vested interests Of Omaha that
have always opposed this water power
development. Where was MIR. Howell

legislature TO authorize Douglas county

Where was be when we had the city
charter amended to authorize Omaha TO

when a member Of the state senate secure
this legislation? He was q boy when he
began TO secure the water works for

timber. Testimony in this case
was heard by Commissioner Chad
wick at Grangeville. In his de-
Tense Rowland states that he cut
away the timber in order to make
cultivation of the land possible,
and that if he was guilty of any
violation of the law it was unin-
territorial and unknowingly. The
decision rendered sets forth that
the special agent of the interior
department was conscientious in
his duty, but that it was surpris-
ing to note that the chief of the
field division saw fit to prosecute
the entryman on a mere techni-
cal violation of the law. 1t is
RECOMMENDED that the contest be
dismissed and a final certificate
be issued and the entry pass to
patent.

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.

The new postal laws bear down
very hard on delinquent subscrib-
ers and newspaper publishers; re-
quiring that subscriptions be not
allowed to extend over one year
in arrears. The Globe has just
received a notice from the third
assistant postmaster general in
sisting upon an observance of this
provision. We are therefore fore
ed to notify all subscribers know
ing themselves to be in arrears
to come in at once and settle
their subscription account, and
place themselves in proper stand
ing with the postal department
and the publisher. Some may
question the justice of this law,
but we did not make it, if we had
it would probably have been diff
ferently constructed. But it is
here, and as it must be observed,
if you will do your part as sub
scribers, we will try and do our s
as publishers, and we will both
keep our skirts clear. Do not
forget that this is no joke, but
is strictly business and must be
attended to at once.

RAILROAD OFFICIALS.
VISIT us

Quite a bevy of railroad Off
Gals dropped in upon us Tuesday
evening, coming through from
Lewiston in private car attach
ed to. the regular train. Among
the number were +. G. Blanchard
general manager of the n. p, |.
b. Richards, general superinten-
dent, of Tacoma, Superintendent
Burt of the Idaho division of Spo
kane, Superintendent Finch of
the Camas Prairie line, General
Agent Jordan of the n. P. and
General Agent G. w. Mount of
the O.-W. & r.. N. company.
In an interview with Mr.. Blan-
chard by a Globe representative,
the recent statements in this pa
per regarding the ballasting of
the Camas Prairie line for a dis
tance of forty miles, was con
firmed by that gentleman, who
said work would begin at once.
The contract was let to the firm
of Dole & Collins, of Lewiston
for the crushing of 10000 yards
of rock. The crusher which they
are installing will have a capacity
of 500 yards per day, which will
necessitate the putting in of 216
full working days to complete
the contract, running it well
around into 1913. The contrac-
tors will employ some so men
in the quarry, which is located
between Ferdinand and Cotton
wood. Mr.. Blanchard informed
the reporter that the work Of
ballasting will commence at the
Grangeville end of the line.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS; AND
HOW THEY MAY BE CHOSEN
ldahos Number Not Fully Determined; Candidates Back
ward, and Few Have Announced
Themselves.

Boise Capital News: 1t is
probable that the presidential
electors will not be voted upon at
the coming statewide primary
election, but that the state com
mittees representing the two great
parties of the state will appoint
those who will appear upon the
ballot at the election in Novem-
Der. There has been some dick
ering between the two committees
in the state to do away with a
primary election for nomination
for electors, and when the state
platform conventions meet here
on June % the matter will be
taken up by the several members
of the state committees, who will
be present and a final decision
reached.
The office of presidential cleo
tor is purely an honorary one,
without any emoluments. The
members of the party who wish
to go to Washington at their own
expense and cast the electoral
vote Of the state do so for the
good of the party and for the
honors.
No Candidates in Sight.
There have been no announce
ments from any patriots who
want to be presidential electors,
and it does not seem that there
are very many in the state who
are anxious for the job. So far
the greatest agitation over the
presidential electors has been in
the democratic party, for some
how or other the democrats fig
ure that this is to be an off year
and several of the tried and true
have spoken for the place, but as
yet no promises have been made
by the state committee.
1t is understood that the two
state committees reached an agree
ment upon the proposition of
keeping the candidates for cleo
tors off of the primary ballot,
for the reason that the expense
of filing nomination papers with
the secretary Of state would be
useless, as the committees have
the power to appoint electors, and
that they should exercise this
The Grangeville globe. [volume] (Grangeville, Idaho) 1907-1922, 1912-06-20

power without adding any more
fuel to the primary fights in
either of the parties.
No one is prominently men
toned as an elector in the re-
publican party, but the demo
Gratis have virtually decided to
place Timothy Regain on the
ticket, so that he may go to- Wash
lngton and vote if democratic
president should be elected. The
electors from the several states
meet at the national capital the
first Monday in December follow
Ing the election, to cast their
votes for the presidential candi-
date whom they favor.
How Many for Idaho?
There is one question which
has been bothering the two par
ties in Idaho, and that is, how
many electoral votes does the
state have? The attorney gen
eral of the United States, in rul-
ing upon several questions sub
mitted to him in controversies
over delegates to the Chicago con
vention, decided that the appor-
tlonment made by the last con-
gress increasing the number of
congressman from several of the
states, did not go into effect I'M
til after the coming November
election.
Both parties in this state think
that Idaho is entitled to four cleo
toral votes under the new appor-
tionment, and they will place four
presidential electors upon the
ticket at the coming election. If
Idaho is only entitled to three
electoral votes, the fight will be
carried into the house of repre-
sentatives at the national capital,
If necessary, in order to deter
mine the status of the fourth man
elected by the people to vote for
the states presidential prefer
ence.
The whole question will be
threshed out by the two state
committees at the coming state
platform conventions, and it is
expected that the presidential
electors will be named by the
committees later.

LAND CASES IN
IDAHO COUNTY
Nicholson, of Tahoe Ousted;
Rowland, of White Bird
Holds Land.

The register and receiver of the
United States land office in Lew
iston on last Friday handed down
a decision wherein they recon-
mended the cancellation of the
homestead entry of Fidello HI.
Nicholson, the same being locat-
ed near Tahoe, on the grounds
that the claimant had not estab-
lished and maintained a perma-
nent residence on the place, and
that he had not cultivated the
land as is required by law. In
the testimony taken in this case
before c. M. Butler, former Unit
ed States commissioner at Sites,
the government established the
fact that Nicholson and his fam
lily lived most of the time on one
or two other places, one of which
it is claimed he rented for term
of three years, and that at the
end of that time it does not ap-
pear that he returned with his
family to the homestead, but
went elsewhere.
Rowland Retains Claim.
The contest suit instituted by
the government against Willis
Rowland to annul his homestead
entry made in 1903, ON the
grounds that prior to the submis-
sion of proof the entryman sold,
in direct violation of the United
States laws, the standing timber
on the place, which is located
ON the Salmon river near the
town of White Bird, is recon-
mended for dismissal by the reg
ister and receiver on the grounds
that Rowland has lived on and
never left his homestead, and that
he has carried ON extensive cult
walton of the same in places
where he had cleared away the
