LOCAL OPTION ELECTION
Power County Anxious to Try Its Fate
Between Wet and Dry.

Petltlons have been presented to the
newly created county of Power asking
that local option election be held in
august. A peculiar condition exists
IN that county. American Falls, the
county seat, which is located in what
was Oneida county before Power
county was formed, is dry, while right
across the river is wet spot which
was part OF Blaine county, which was
wet until such time as it was includ-
ed in the new county and will remain
wet until an election is held. A foot
bridge across the river gives the dry
citizens of Power county an oppor-
tunity to become wet-Idaho Falls

LETTER TO JOEL PRIEST MEETS
WITH ENCOURAGEMENT.
Possibility of at Least Tri-Weekly
Service to Salt Lake and Butte for
Fruit.

The Twin Falls Commercial club, in
conjunction with the Filler and Rupert
clubs, have been working on a refri-
gerator service to take care of the
strawberries which will be thrown on
the market from this tract and the
Minedoka project, and letters written
by the secretaries of the three COM
mercial clubs have set in motion a
move which may result in possibly a
tri-weekly refrigerator car service on
this branch to both Butte and Salt
Lake markets. This week Secretary
Mcmillan received the following letter
from Joel Priest, Industrial agent for
the Short Line:
Boise, Ida, June H. 1913
Mr.. ]. Mcmillan, Secretary CONNER
cial Club, Twin Falls, Idaho.
Dear Sir: Yours of recent date
with reference to refrigerator service
for berries, fruit and similar products
OF the Twin Falls branch would have
mad attention before except for my alb
sence from the city.
expect to go to Salt Lake early
next week and will then take the mat
ter up personally with our freight
traffic officials. / appreciate the need
for early action in this case and will
do everything in my power to expe-
diate it. Can see no reason now why
you should not have at least tri-
weekly refrigerator car from the
branch and anticipate that you will
have no difficulty In furnishing the
necessary tonnage.
1t is needless for me to assure you
OF our interest in your territory and
of our desire to serve you well at all
times.
Sincerely yours,
JOEL L. PRIEST.
