Federal Court Takes Damage
Case From Jury.
JAKE SHANK LOSES THROUGH
NON.SUIT DECISION. y
Plaintiff In Action Will Carry Case to
Federal Circuit Court ut San Fran.
cisco.

With both sides holding large num-
Der of witnesses for several days at
Boise the case of John Shank versus
the Great Shoshone and Twin Falls
Water Power company for thirty thou
sand dollars for personal injury was
tried before Judge Dietrich of the Fed
eral district court. Testimony was
produced ON both sides with the plain
tiff's attorneys demanding jury trial.
A motion to non-suit on the grounds
of contributory negligence on the part
Of the plaintiff was introduced by the
defendants attorney and the motion
granted by the judge, who held that
certain rights of the defendant with
regard to the distance of lines and the
height of poles made it cOntributary
on the part of Mr.. Shank, and the case
closed as far as Judge Dietrich's court
was concerned.
Attorney Guthrie of this city has
signified his intention to appeal from
the decision and will take the case to
the circuit court at San Francisco.
The case has caused much comment
in this city owing to the condition
in which the shock left Mr.. Shank and
the verdict came as a surprise. The
injuries were sustained by the plain
tiff while working on his ranch near
Buhl by the steel cable Of a hay der
rick coming in contact with high
power line while he was holding the
cable to guide the unwieldy derrick
Permanent injuries were sustained anG
Mr.. Shank incapacitated for further
work on his ranch.

and the change in the past week
should increase the already large pat

SUPT. DISCUSSES
THE POWER RATE
Jos. h. Seaver Speaker at
Luncheon of Club.
INTERESTING INTERPRETATION
OF PRODUCERS SIDE.
Declares That Rates for Power Are
Cheaper Than Most Every Other LO-
cality.

The Wednesday luncheon was very
well attended this week at the Com
mercial club, when the food served
was all supplied by Mr.. j. A. Waters
and entirely home products. The dis
cussion which followed on the power
rates by Mr.. Jos. H. Seaver of the
Great Shoshone & Twin Falls Water
Power company proved very interest
ing in giving the company's side OF the
much disputed question of cheap cleo
tricity. Mr.. Seaver said in part:
In taking up his subject Mr.. Seaver
called attention to the large amount
of capital invested by the Power COM
pany, the scattered terriory requir-
ing extensive traffic lines and which
made it impossible to base rates on
other community conditions. He stat
ed that comparison with Chicago, st.
Louis and other cities showed with
but one exception that the local rates
for heat and power were cheaper
Mr.. Seaver stated that every month
money had to be shipped in to meet
the expenses of the company, but also
stated that the cost of extension of
power lines was the cause of the ap-
parent deficit. Loyalty to the company
because of its great development work
and the bringing of great amount of
| capital into the state was a part of
the argument put up to the guests at
| the luncheon

H FRDA
ORGANIZE POTATO CLUB.
Among the Boys and Girls of Each
School District in State.

The Idaho State Department of pub
lie Instruction has been working to en-
courage vocational work, especially
elementary agriculture, in the rural
schools of the state. At last, with the
aid of the Agricultural College, a
scheme was devised which is meeting
with hearty approval and support
throughout the state. 1t has been de-
cided to have potato clubs throughout
the state-it is hoped in every dis
trict of the state. The boys and the
girls forming these clubs are to raise
500 hills of potatoes; the prize winning
potatoes in each district to be sent to
the county fair; the first four prize
winners to be sent to the state fair for
the sweep stakes.
Professor Olin, director of the ex
tension department of the Agricultural
College, has been working on bul.
letin, giving full directions as to the
information of the clubs, the prepara-
ton of the seed bed, the preparation
of the seed, the cultivation of the
plant, and the care of the crop. This
bulletin will be distributed as soon as
it comes off the press.
The Board of State Fair Directors
has most heartily endorsed the plan
and are enthusiastic concerning the
success, They will organize Juven-
lie Department where only the exhibits
of the boys and the girls will be
placed. They will receive instructions
in agriculture and stock judging dur
ing the week.
The plan for sowing clubs is we'll
under way. This is open to the girls
in each district. A bulletin will soon
be issued giving full directions as tc
| the plan and to the sewing. Only
mending, patching, darning and the
making of a work apron will be includ,
ed. 1t is the desire that each gir
in every district will enter this con
test. The plan concerning the prize
winners is the same as in the potato
club. The first prize winner from
each county will be brought to the
state fair, where they will receive {
weeks instruction in some phase o.
domestic science. Everything will be
done for the comfort and welfare O.
these boys and girls during the week
They will be cared for by competen
men and women.
Much enthusiasm is shown not onl,
by the boys and girls, but also by tht
trustees and teachers. This under
taking is looked upon all as NOV
| in the right direction.
The boys and the girls agricul
tural clubs that have been carried OF
for many years in other states hav'
been power in developing scientific
agriculture The movement now OF
foot in Idaho is believed by many tt
be the beginning of wider and ;
more useful life.
1t is the earnest hope of the stat
superintendent that parents, trustees
and teachers will lend their influenc
to make this contest a success; tha
districts and county officials will offe
sufficient local prizes to give the con
test keener zest. Idaho made rec
ord on Potato Day last year at tn
Chicago Land Show, but if this move
mentis a success she will far surpas
that record.
