May Build From Weiser to klamath
Falls in Winter.

A Weiser dispatch of July so saws:
Evidence that the Hill interests in
tend to lose no time in their race for
supremacy with the Hartman lines is
revealed with the announcement here
this week that contracts have been LET
for grading 80 miles of the proposed
Hill system from Grangeville, Idaho. to
New Meadows. The latter town is on
miles from Weser, at the northern ter
minal of the Pacific & Idaho railroad.
1t is said that the Hill system will
be prepared to let contracts within a
short time for grading a roadbed from
Weiser to klamath Falls, Ore. The
route as proposed would extend from
the northern end of Idaho directly
through the state to Weiser, which is
on the extreme southern border, then
across Oregon, where Hartman is now
increasing his lines to the interior and
on to klamath Falls, the extreme
southern point in Oregon from which
route south to San Francisco would
be completed in time for the exposition
in 1915.

WATER W0RkSSOLD
JACK SYSTEM NOW OWNED BY
LIGHT COMPANY.
PRICE IS NOT MADE PUBLIC
B. Gustad, Local Manager, Elucidates
Policy Of New Owners-Jack to Go
To California for Winter.

| The Grangeville Water Works. OF
which John M. Jack of this city was
the owner, has been sold to the Grange
vile Electric Light l. Power Co., the
transfer being effected through Geo
Al. Reed, who has held an option on the
plant for some time. 1t is learned that
the deal was consumated couple of
weeks ago but the sale was not made
public until this week, the new owners
taking over the plant August l. The
water works office has already been
moved to its new quarters in the Light
Co. building east of the Imperial ho-
tel.
The purchase price has not been made
public but it is generally surmised that
the figure is approximately $4,000.
The Grangeville water works system
was built something like fourteen years
ago by }. M. Jack, ST., and his asso-
ciate, Mr.. Orchard. Mr.. Jack Sr..
later acquired the entire property and
at his demise same passeu to the owner
ship of the Jack heirs jointly. A few
years ago John bought out the other
members of the family, thus becoming
sole owner.
The new owners of the plant are a
branch of the Inland Empire Light g.
Power Company of Spokane, of which
Eugene Enloe is the manager. This
company acquired the Grangeville cleo
trio light plant two or three years ago,
buying same from Sweet & Van Buren.
B. Gustad the local manager for the
company, states that at this time no
definite plans for improvements have
been formulated but that no doubt the
system will be bettered in MANY ways.
as occasion demands. 1t is the policy
of the company, stated Mr.. Gustad, to
give the very best service possible to
its patrons and that therefore unuues-
tionably the system will undergo some
decided changes.
John Jack will remain with the
company couple of weeks to assist the
new owners to get acquainted with the
run of affairs, after which he and Mrs.
Jack will go to California to spend the
winter. Mr.. Jack states that he has
made no plans for the immediate fu-
ture, but it is hoped by his many
friends and business associates in this
city that he will decide to reengage in
some line of industry that will still
make him member of Grangeville 8
business circles.

is RECORD PRICE
GRAIN BAGS NOW SELLING FOR
1879 CENTS.
BIG SHORTAGE IS REPORTED
Farmers Union Secured Supply Early
in Year for Six and Seven
Cents-Be Big Crop.

Grain bags have reached the record
price OF 121a cents and the prospect at
the present time is that further ad-
vances will be made before the crop is
harvested. The big price is due to a
shortage of supply and bigger produc-
tion of grain in the northwest than was
expected. 1t is explained that early in
the year short crop was predicted in
California and calculations for only a
usual production in the northwest were
made. The late rains have resulted in
normal California yield while in the
northwest the yield will be above the
average and it is found that the impor-
tations are much short of what will be
needed.
At the present time the farmers of
central Idaho and adjacent eastern
Washington sections have purchased
about 70 per cent of the bags needed to
harvest the crop. 1t is estimated that
perhaps so per cent of the bags needed
were purchased before prices passed the
9 cent mark while in many cases the
farmers unions secured the season Is
supply for their members at prices rang
ing from to Z cents. The farmers
unions negotiated the contracts early
in the year and in most cases competi-
tive bids were invited.
