Competition Eliminated by Public Utilities
Commission
Decision OF State Commission Rules Idaho Power and LIGHT
Company Out Of Twin Falls

This morning the Great Shoshone &
Twin Falls Water Power company
was notified by the Public Utilities
Commission that the company must
reduce its rates to become effective on
February bills to the consumers. The
reduction makes residence lighting for
first twenty kilowatt hours nine cents
with commercial lighting proportion
ately lower
The above decision comes as the eli
max to the long drawn out battle. be-
tween the Great Shoshone Power COM
pany and its rival, the Idaho Light &
Power company, which is seeking to
enter this city under franchise trans
ferred to it by the Beaver River Power
Company. The public utilities COM
mission acting on the great scope of
power granted them, last Friday hand
ed down the following decision refus-
ing the latter company the right to
compete in this field:
"It is, therefore, ordered that the de-
fendant, the Idaho Power e Light
company, do Immediately desist and
refrain from further constructing any
pole or wire lines in the city of Twin
Falls, state of Idaho, for the purpose
of transmitting electrical current or
electrical energy to be furnished to
the said city or the inhabitants there
of, and from doing any act or work of
any nature in constructing or COM

DEAL AT JARBIDG[
Cincinnati Capitalists Take Option on
Several Claims.

Word reached Elko this morning
that one of the biggest mining deals
in the experience of the camp has just
been closed at Jarbidge, whereby Gin
cin1fati capitalists have taken an OPP
tion on the Success, 1t and the Amer
lean Man. The money involved
amounts to several hundred thousand
dollars and the plans call for big
amount of development work as soon
as spring opens up, so men to be put
to work as soon as the snow will al
low work to start. The deal has been
closed by c. J. Nelson and associates,
and Mr.. Nelson is to have the man
agement of the properties. This is the
same group of claims that George
Wingfield had and threw up.
This deal means that Jarbidge will
at least come into her own and that
before snow flies next winter that Jar
bidge will be better camp than it
was during it's boom days. Develop
ments throughout the camp have dem
in large quantities and carries good
values at great depth. A new strike
has just been made on the Alpha
group where four-foot ledge was cut
in one of the tunnels that is a good
milling ore. On this property a five
stamp mill is kept going day and
night and they are working three
shifts. The recent strike is being kept
quiet and it is impossible to get the
correct value of the ore, but that it is
rich there can be no doubt-Elko Free

FLOUR MILL WILL
DOUBLE CAPACITY
Machinery for Milling Company
Ordered
FOUR HUNDRED BARREL MILL IN.
CREASED TO EIGHT HUNDRED.
Company Putting up Big Two.Story
Warehouse to Handle Product of the
Flour Mill.

Manager l.. L. Breckenridge of the
Twin Falls Milling e Elevator COM
pany, returned the past week from a
trip to the southern states, seeking
additional markets for the products of
the big mill here. To the Times re-
porter, Mr. Breckenridge gave the in
formation that the milling company
was planning improvements that will
cost considerable sum and which
will when made double the present
capacity of the four hundred barrel
mill. When originally planned the
big three-story brick structure was
supposed to care for full eight hun
dred barrel production so that out
side of the installing of new machin-
cry, which has been ordered there will
be no change in the present building.
But in order to care for the increased
storage demanded with the increased
milling capacity the company is erect
ing two-story warehouse with a full
basement.
The company has enjoyed an ever
increasing business since it's begin
ming and it's attitude toward further
developments here shows it's faith in
the great Twin Falls country.

BLACKf0O1 TEAM wins
High School Basket Ball Team De-
feated In Hard Fought Contests.

The Twin Falls high school basket
ball team, accompanied by a delega-
tion of rooters and the high school
band, went to Blackfoot last Friday,
where the same evening they played
the Blackfoot team. The team and the
band were met at the depot at Black
loot by about two hundred boosters OF
the Grove City and escorted to their
hotel. When the game commenced in
the high school gym, standing room
was at a premium and many people
were turned away. Both teams were
in excellent condition and played a
fast and furious game from the start,
but in spite of the fast playing by the
Twin Falls boys Blackfoot won the
game by score of 38 to 20. The MEM
bers of the local team are loud in
their praise of the treatment they re-
ceived by the people OF Blackfoot.

purpose; that it refrain from furnish
ing to the city of Twin Falls or to
the inhabitants thereof any electrical
power, current or energy until fur
ther order in the premises"
The decision is far-reaching in it's
suppression of competition and be-
cause of the power vested in the COM
mission may be regarded as final and
conclusive, although the Idaho Power
q Light Company will fight the case
clear up to the last court In the
meantime no work will be done in this
city where the new company has spent
thousands of dollars in setting poles
and IN getting ready to supply cur
rent.
Back of the decision of the commits
sion is long history of legal and
commercial warfare in which two
companies with millions at their COM
mand are seeking to control the power
business of the state and other states.
Rumors of the mighty forces back of
the whole fight have been handed out
by both companies and the opinion is
prevalent here that Twin Falls and
Pocatello are merely small pawns
in the big game in which the one 1arg-
er company is seeking to lower the
purchase price demanded of the other
for giving up the field At any rate
the lower rate ordered by the commits
sion is the one thing asked for by the
consumers, who can now rest easy no
matter which way the battle goes.

IDAHO EXHIBITS wins PRIZES
Beats the World at Dallas, Texas, Corn
Sh0w-Takes Worlds Sweepstakes.

Idaho leads the world as corn
state. That was demonstrated at the
national corn exposition at Dallas,
Texas. Official reports or results there
were received Tuesday by The States
man, and Idaho is in the lead Moth
ing short of remarkable is Idaho's
showing among the corn exhibitors,
says the Boise Statesman.
The Gem state wins the $500 tro-
ply for the best ear of corn and the
Indiana trophy, worth $1,000, for the
best 10 ears of corn exhibited. The
sweepstakes for the best single ear
and for the best 10 ears
Idaho also wins the grand cham
pionship of the world on alsike clover
seed, second in the world in alfalfa
seed, third in the world on red clover
seed, and fourth in the world on tim
othy seed. These awards are what
were made up to February IL in class
es wherein Idaho was included.
Recognition was given Idaho as an
alfalfa state when an Idaho judge was
called in to decide a deadlock between
the board of judges who were deciding
which was the winning sheaf of al
falfa hay between two picked as the
best in the world.
Nothing definite was given out as to
that competition, but it is understood
it was won by Idaho. Winners thus
far at the Dallas show have stamped
Idaho as one of the best agricultural
states in the Union, and the Dallas ex-
position is recognized as the premier
agricultural show in the United
States.-Idaho Falls Times.

RIGHTTOSUBTfRRANIANS STREAM
Important Point Raised in Case Taken
to Supreme Court

Can water that is being drawn from
a subterraneau stream and used to ir-
r1gate land be appropriated by the
drilling of another well on adjacent
land which taps the same stream?
This is the interesting legal question
that has been put up to the supreme
court in voluminous transcript filed
with that tribunal in the case entitled
Sarah d. Bower and ]. e. Bower. vs..
Agnes &. Parks and J. b. Cochran, in
volVlng wells on lands in Cassia coun-
ty. Judge G. O. Stockslager held for
the plaintiffs, issuing the temporary
injunction they asked for permanent
and perpetual, requiring the defend
ants to block the well and giving the
plaintiffs $299.3O damoges covering
the costs. From this Judgment the
plaintiffs appeal
The summarized facts taken from
the appeal are substantially as fol-
lows: Bowers and his wife are the
owners of land described as lot 4,
section 6, township IL south, range 20
east. For the past 20 years they have
been in control of this land and on it
have sunk several wells from which
they have taken water to irrigate their
crops. In June and July of 1912, Ag-
nes E. Parks and D. B. Moorman EN-
ployed Cochran to drill we'll on an
adjoining lot, which he did. When this
well started to flow the Bowers no.
| ticed that the flow of their wells had
| deprecated and they did not have
| the same amount of water for irriga-
tion purposes. 1t seems that there Is a
peculiar formation where the wells
are sunk, cold water being near the
surface while the deeper wells bring
up water that is 10 degrees Fahren-
heit The Bowers appealed to the dis
trict court for restraining order d.
rected against Parks, Moorman and
Cochran to prohibit them from ap-
propriating their water through the
new wells and asked, in addition, $1,000
damages to their crops.
The district court made an elaborate
Investigation of the facts and found
that the water from the two old wells
was not flowing at the rate it had
before the new we'll was sunk and
Judge Stockslager ordered that the
new we'll be capped or shut off per-
manently and that the defendants be
prohibited from making further use OF
it.-Capital News
