NEW CONCERN TAKES CONTROL
OF OXBOW ON SNAKE RIVER
Idaho Oregon Company Is Ousted--
Failed to Heed the Law-Idaho
Consolidated Power and Utilities
Company Now Has Control OF Wa
ter-Baclxed by Rockefeller.

Boise, Idaho, Jan. 21.-The Idaho
Consolidated Power & Utilities COM
pany, a Delaware corporation, backed
by John d. Rockefeller and the Har-
riman estate, has wrested control of
the Oxbow from the Idaho-Oregon
Light & Power company in when
promises to be one of the greatest
power wars ever started in the west
ern country. The legal coup Is Sc
which the Idaho Oregon Light & Pow
es company is estimated to have
spent at least $750,000 in preliminary
development was engineered by the
law firm of which Samuel INTER
meyer, the noted New York attorney
is connected. The whole matter was
arranged under the laws of Oregon
which have recently been changed to
conform to the Idaho statutes upon
water and power rights. and the ru-
NOR is that the Idaho-Oregon concern
failed to comply with the new law and
thereby lost the Oxbow, which Is said
to be one of the greatest power sites
on the Snake river.
Work on the Oxbow.
About six years ago the Idaho-Ore-
gon Light & Power company started
to develop the Oxbow in conjunction
with its other properties. When the
recent large bond issue was sold In
New York the Idaho-Oregon had II
provided as one of the conditions OF
the trust deed which secured the
bonds that 100000 would be ex'
pended in developing the power site
Work has been done by the loca
power company but 1t has been inter
mittent and for some time nothing
has been done toward developing thu
power site, according to the conten
tions set up by those who say that thu
Idaho Oregon has lost it to the nev
concern. Under the Oregon laws /
is said there was a provision tina
work in developing power sites mus
be continuous and the representative
of the Idaho Consolidated Power 4
Utilities company claim that the loca
concern has forfeited its rights to tn
OXbOw because work was stopped.

Select Your Seed Corn Now.

The Kentucky Agricultural Expert
mental Station has issued warning in
regard to the selection of the seed corn
for next year, which is both timely
and wise. In view of the inferior
quality of this years corn crop it is but
reasonable to suppose that corn for
seeding purposes next spring is going
to be both high and scarce, and it be-
hooves every farmer who has corn that
is suitable for seeding purposes to save
every suitable ear, both for his own
use, and because of the fact that it
will command a good price at seeding
time. Garrard county has come to be
recognized as a splendid place to seek
seed corn, and farmers who have made
practice of selecting the best of their
crop for the market for seeding pur-
poses, have found heretofore that their
supply was inadequate to the demand
made upon them. If such has been
the case in the past when the corn crop
was good everywhere, then what may
be expected the coming spring follow
ing a crop which was almost failure.
The same rule will apply as to tobacco
seed: Garrard county has this year a
tobacco crop surprising in quality that
of almost any other Burley raising
county in the state, and the demand
for seed next spring will no doubt be
almost unprecedented. 1t is useless
for US to go into the methods detailed
as to the best manner of choosing seed
corn and saving tobacco seed, for near
ly every farmer is intimately acquaint-
ed with these methods, but warning
as to the high prices which may be ex-
pected for these commodities we deem
not amiss at this TINY. Many farmer
by saving the cream of his corn CROP
and liberal supply of tobacco seed
from this years harvest will find g
ready demand for them early next
spring, and will find himself many dol.
lars richer by his forethought.

The Womans Club

After long, hot summer it seemed

be a return to club activity, for club
women, along with all the rest of hu-

things look up bit, and not only has
the prospect frightened but from the
interest manifested at the last meet
ing the promise of a splendid years

The last meeting was in the form of
a reception, under the able manage
ment of Mrs. Will Cook and Misses

partments then made short enthusiast
tic talks. After listening to all, one

is no limit to the usefulness of each
department, and in the coming year
each chairman hopes to take advant-
age of the really great opportunity
she has for usefulness in our communi-
ty by developing her department to
the fullest.
The meeting of Oct. End, is the
Parent-Teachers meeting which should
bespeak for itself full attendance as
well as interest and cooperation.
The meeting of Oct. 9th, belongs to
the Civic department. A talk will be
given by Mrs. James Kinnaird on

also talk by Mrs. Robert Elkin upon
Tree Planting. All should be interest

Ben Ali, A Theatre Beautiful.

For theatre the Ben Ali is ideally
located, being directly in front of the
Phoenix hotel.
In point of elaborate construction
and beauty of detail it is second to
none in the South.
The Tiffany Studios had in charge
the entire decorative scheme, includ-
ing the handsome drop curtain, the
hanglngs, draperies and lights, they
put into wonderful execution the
marvellous peacock colors, the whole
effect being softened and mellowed by
the admirable arrangements of lights.
The lobby and foyer would do credit
to town twice the size of Lexington,
the lobby being a promenade de luxe
with its marble columns between which
are ferns and palms. One of the fea-
lures is the beautiful lounging room in
which inviting touches, soft devans
and roomy chairs have been arranged
so that ladies and children NAV be
comfortable if tired or sick.
The Ben Ali should be a source of
pride not only to the people of Lexing-
ton but to all the blue grass towns. as
it is the purpose of the management
to put before them the highest class
productions. Lancaster people have
always patronized the other Lexington
theatres and we know this one will
come in for its share of our patronage.
