Supplemental Agreement.

AS additional consideration of the
rights and privileges granted to the
company by the district, the com.
pany agrees to furnish electric
energy from its power plant foi
heating, lighting and power pur-
poses to- owners of land within the
district for use upon their respective
farms or tracts of land within said
district at not to exceed 81 per horse
power per month, measured at the
switch board of the power plant, but
the company shall not be required to
build transmission lines for distri-
buting same.
However, upon demand of the board
of directors of the district the COM
pany agrees to construct the nee
essary transmission lines and main
tain them at an additional cost for
power equal to per cent interest on
the cost of constructing said lines
and cost of maintenance. Such power
shall be furnished to the full amount
required by those entitled thereto un-
der this agreement during the opera
ton of the plant.
Both agreements are signed for the
district by w. H. Shane, president,
and H. Haylor, secretary, and for the
company by C. L. Talmadge, presi-
dent of the Idaho Consolidated Power
& Utilities Co.

Real Estate Sales.

w. 7. Crouch this week traded his
S0-acre farm on the bench to J. T.
Littooy, the we'll known horticultur-
ist, for 20 acre fruit farm and fine
residence near Boise Mr. Littooy
will this spring plant the entire tract
to orchard, greater portion of it
to prunes and the remainder to ap-
pies. The Emmett country is very
fortunate in having a man of Mr.,
Littooy's reputation as scientific
horticulturist interested in it's fruit
lands.
D. NJ. John this week sold to NJ D..
Morehouse a 60-acre farm west of
town. Both sales were made by F. A.

The Company.

The Idaho Consolidated Power &
Utilities Company is a corporation
having a capital stock of 22 million
dollars. 1t is reported to have al
most unlimited financial backing. 1t
has for its objects the development of
power sites, the reclamation of land
by means of irrigation, and the col
onization of lands reclaimed by them.
A considerable body of land in the
vicinity of the proposed power plant
is to be watered by pumping. During
the winter months, the electricity
which is used during the irrigating
season to operate the pumping plants
will be used to provide electricity for
heating and cooking. Mr.. Tallmadge
confidently expects to furnish Juice"
at such low rates for this purpose
that it will be more economical than
burning coal or wood. The rate
quoted in the agreement to residents
of the irrigation district is very low

NETT ROADS
In Addition to that Amount S12,-
461 Was Spent for Bridges
and Culverts.

According to the records in County
Clerk George Stovel's Office, S16,90s
of county funds was spent on the
roads in what is known as the Emmett
precincts during 1912. OF this sum,
$6,590.47 was received by Districts
33, A, SO and 81 from the road fund
and S2,710.66 from the bridge fund.
Most of the bridge fund was used in
building culverts and small bridges.
In addition to that, $1,000, was rails
ed by a special levy in District 81,
was spent in that district. The bal
ance was expended by the other road
districts in the Emmett precincts.
AS the money drawn from the
bridge fund was expended in improv-
ing the roads, the grand total forroad
purposes in this section foots up $780,
67056. In addition to that, consider
able cash and labor were donated by
land owners in the districts. How
much is not known. Was that large
amount of money expended wisely
and have the roads been benefited to
that extent?
The amounts received from the two

The City, Too.


A concession was also secured by
the committee by which the city ano
the country districts tributary to
the irrigation district will share
equally with the district in the ad-
vantages of cheap power. A writ
ten agreement, which of necessity
could not be incorporated in the a
greement with the district, was sign
ed by Mr.. Talmadge, in which he
contracts to give the same rates to
the city that he gives to the dis
trict-a rate so low that electricity
for fuel will be in reach of everyone.
The letter announcing this rate reads
as follows:
Dear Sir: | wish you would please
advise the mayor and city council of
Emmett that the Idaho Consolidated
Power & Utilities Company will be
pleased to furnish the City of En-
NETT power delivered to them at the
plant which this company is building
on the Payette, at the Canyon canal
dam site, at the rate of S1.00 per
horse power per month.
"This is based upon my understand
ing that the City of Emmett expects
to take over the distributing plant
now operating, under the terms of its
franchise in January, 1914
81 hope to be able to deliver power
by April 1st, 1914. Please have the
city officials advise me of their ac-
ceptance.
(Signed:) &C. L. TALLMADGE,
president"

Agreement Signed.

After the agreement had been ap-
proved by the meeting of land owners
and instructions had been given to the
board of directors to make such an
agreement, the board accompanied Mr..
Tallmadge and the districts attor-
neys, Fremont Wood and Judge
Thompson, to Boise that evening and
after a new contract, covering the
demands of the meeting and granted
by the company's representative, had
been prepared, in addition to other
concessions secured by the directors,
the contract was signed.

FROST RAISES
But the Emmett Country Will Have
Lots of Fruit, as Usual.

A cold wind from the north which
prevailed all day Tuesday sent the
mercury shivering into its hole and
raised Cain with tender fruits in the
lowlands. Thermometers registered
all the way from % to 28.
Just how extensive the damage
is cannot now be estimated. But one
thing is sure: There will be lots OF
Emmett peaches and apricots on the
market this year, as usual. Cherries
and pears were hard hit. Aples and
prunes. and small fruits will have
full crops.
Apricot, peach, pear and sweet
cherry trees were in full bloom. In
many of the orchards the fruit had

hirly accurately thus: All peaches,
herries, apricots and pears below

p. bitches are practically killed. On
be slope conditions vary. The lower
dge as far up as half way is hurt,
ut will have a small crop; above that
ractically full crop is assured. R.
[cCool says his fruit suffered very
tile injury. Henry Obermeyer says
peaches under the canal will pro-
ce well. Charlie Cook will have a
od half crop. R. B. Shaw's fruit
all right and he will have to thin.
C. Bowers apricots and the up
er edge of his peaches are all right.
In other words, the nearer to the
Canyon canal the orchards are locat-
ed the bigger will be the crop.
w. T. Crouch estimates his peach
crop at so per cent, which will be
and thinks his estimate is
one for that section of
,he slope.
On the bench, there are very few
,ender fruits. F. H. Spotts's peach
orchard is hard hit, as is also the
Mills orchard on the fiat across the
liver. No damage was done to the
lpples. Pears were in full bloom and

TRADERS DAY SET FOR
MAY Il
Farmers Will Have Opportunity
to Buy and Sell-Merchants
to Give Bargain Sales.

Arrangements are nearly complete
for the first of series of monthly
sales days to be held in this city
Monday, May II. Indications are
that it will be a big success and that
it will prove of great benefit to the
people in this end of the valley and
the upper country.
The purpose of these sales days
is to give everybody who has some
thing they do not need and those who
want to buy that very article an op-
portunity to get together. Nothing
will be barred provided it has any
real worth and the owner really de-
sires to sell it at fair price. Stock,
chickens, farm machinery and tools,
household goods-all may be listed
with the committee and offered for
sale. On top of that, the merchants
are arranging to give special bar
gain sales on that day and make Il
worth while for farmers to come
many miles to trade.
The committee is composed of F.
7. Feuling, w. w. Wilton, E. c..
Rundstrom, DIR. B. o. Clark and H.
T. Maynard, and they are busily at
work making arrangements for the
opening sale. Dickens & Miller, the
well known auctioneers of Caldwell,
who have made Traders Day big
success at Caldwell, have been Sc
cured to conduct the sale.
Provisions will be made for care
of stock in suitable quarters. Com
plete details will be announced next
week, together with the announce
ments of sales by the merchants.
