PLAN TO FLOOD SAHARA.
Revival Of the Scheme to Turn the
Desert Into Sea.

The De Iesscps project for flooding
portion OF the Sahara has been re-
yiyed. In the extreme south Of Tu-
nisia is tract of land. some Of which
Is hundreds Of feet below the sea level.
A string Of ''schotts,' or small salt
lakes. occupies Il portion Of the lie
pressed area. which is barred from the
Mediterranean only by few miles OF
sand fats. never 100 feet above the
level of the sea.
Manifestly the flooding of such an
area so placed is an easy task for mod
ern engineering. The question is wheth-
er the project will pay. In addition to
the first canal, several shorter canals
would have to be dug to conduct the
water to isolated portions " the de-
pressed region. The extent Of country
which might be flooded has been esti-
mated yariouslx from 5000 to more
than 10000 square miles.
Just what good will come OF The
proposed desert flooding is not clcar.
1t could hardly make much change in
climate or rainfall. and it would not
lead to any important commercial de-
vclopments. But 1t can be done. and
perhaps 1t will be done, just as an evil
dence that man has become boss Of the
earth and il making it to suit him.

Jokes Sprung by irish Members In tho
House OF Commons.

Now and then joke. somewhat after
the American pattern-perhaps it would
be more exact to say hoax--is brought
forward in the British house Of com.
mons, usually By some son of Erin.
Recently John O'Dowd, an IRISH NJ. r.
wanted to know of the government
when the port of Manorhamilton would
be cnened for the shipment of Irish
cows and Irish sheep. Mr.. Runciman,
answering for the government. said the
matter should receive his considera-
ton. When this promise got into print
there much laughter all over Ireland.
for Manorhamilton Is forty niles from
water. and the fact was apparent that
English ministers are as denseiy igno-
rant about Ireland as they have been
charged with being.
The O'Dowd sell is. however. not al
together new. Some years ago John
Roche. an Irish member. gave II beau
tiful picture in words Of the natural
advantages OF Il roadway that he man,

WENDELL OBJECTS TO
CORPORATION CHARGES
Village Officials Complain to Utilities
Commission of Discrimination.



Citizens of Wendell are before the
public utilities commission with = petit
ton praying for regulation OF the rates OF
the Great Shoshone & Twin Falls Water
Power company. The petition is signed
by F. J. Fussner, chairman OF the board
OF trustees OF Wendell, and NJ c. Kop-
pei, B. L. Barton, John Reidenbach and
Isham Sedgwick, trustees.
The charge is made that the rates of
the company are "high, exorbitant and
unreasonable. The petitioners ask that
an investigation be made by the COM
mission; that an order be issued estab-
fishing reasonable and uniform rates.
and that such other action be taken AS
the commission considers equitable and
just.
In addition to q schedule OF the rates
charged for light, power, cooking and
heating, the petition says:
That the petitioners are the duly
elected, qualified and acting chair-trus-
tees OF the village OF Wendell, man and
memben OF the board OF Gooding county
Idaho.
That the Great Shoshone and Twin
Falls Water Power company is a corpo-
ration duly organized and existing under
and BY virtue OF the laws OF the state OF
Delaware and authorized to do business
In Idaho. That said, the Great Sho-
shone & Twin Falls Water Power com
pany is an electrical corporation owning
and operating several electrical power
plants in the slate OF Idaho, generating,
transmitting, delivering and furnishing
electrical energy for light, heat, power
and other domestic uses, to the inhabi-

tants of Wendell. Jerome, q. Gooding.
Mountainhome, Glenns Ferry and other
cities and villages in the state of Idaho.
Your petitioners further represent that
they are informed and believe, and there
fore allege, that the said, the Great Sho-
shone & Twin Falls Water Power com
psny, is furnishing to the villages OF
Nountsinhome and Glenns Ferry and to
the city OF Gooding, and to the inhabi-
tants OF said villages and city, electrical
current for power, heating, lighting and
other domestic purposes and uses. st Il
less rate than the said corporation is
changing for the same class OF service in
the village OF Wendell; that among other
discriminatory rates, the rates charged
for lighting by said corporation in the
three above named places is seven to
nine cents per kilowatt hour while the
rate in Wendell is - cents per kilowatt
hour; that your petitioners believe that
most serious discrimination exists in the
rates OF said corporation in favor OF the
said other places and the inhabitants
thereof and against the village OF Wen
dell and its inhabitants.
The same conditions exist at Jeroms rs
at Wendell, and as the Public Utilities
Commission was organized for the pur-
pose OF equslizing the rates for corpora
tons throughout the state, would it not
be well for our board OF town trustees to
take the same steps as they have At
Wendell?
