THE defense of the Great Shoshone

that the light and power service rem

Final submission of the applications
of the Idaho Power & Light company

and necessity to enter the Twin Falls

company.
Statement by Bacon.
Speaking of the hearings General
Manager Bacon says he is convinced
the consumers in the respective terri
tories want competition. He made the
following statement on his return to
Boise:
"The Idaho Power & Light company
proved by scores of witnesses that the
overwhelming public sentiment and
opinion on the Twin Falls tract is in
favor Of the admission OF the Idaho
Power & Light company to that field,
in order to compete with the Great
Shoshone & Twin Falls Water Power
company, now enjoying a monopoly
there. Merchants, lawyers, bankers,
doctors and the most active and pro-
gressive men in the Twin Falls tract
testified that the future growth of the
Twin Falls tract demanded competi-
tion in the power field. A thorough
showing was made of the failure of the
Great Shoshone company to extend
lines for the benefit of the farming
community in the Twin Falls tract, and
much was made of this failure by the
lQdlO IOWGI cN COMPANY anu NAc
people. The marvellous growth of the
Twin Falls tract and the prospective
future growth were factors in the tes-
timony of many of the witnesses as
tending to show the probable future
demand for power.
1T was also shown that the Great
Shoshone company in many instances
refused electricity for heating pur-
poses after it had been promised ia
many customers. Instances of unsat-
isfactory service and failure to ex-
tend service to cities and towns were
also shown. A strong feature of the
petitioners case was it's showing of q
comparative statement of costs Of de-
velopment and power generated which
was taken from the reports of the two
contending companies to the public
utilities commission itself. These fig
ures were tabulated and showed an in

The government has taken possession

Many Rumors AfIoat.
Because of the absence of real news
from the continent the rumor factory
was working overtime tonight. with
Germany and Russia isolated through
the government censorship of the tele-
graphic and telephone lines, it could
not be learned officially whether the
declaration of war had been followed
| by skirmishing along the border. Re
ports by the way of Paris indicated
| that the soldiers Of the rival armies
were throwing up entertainments at
strategic points along the border
lines, while the river bridges and rail-
way trestles close to the border had
been demolished
| The telephone that extends under
the channel to France is in possession
of the French military authorities and
is being used only for military pur-
poses. Paris was said to be wildly
excited, but the French government
was still striving to secure conces-
sions from Germany which would per-
NIT both sides to gracefully back
| down.
The task is believed here to be
hopeless.

AT last, a country club!

At last, a country club!
For years lovers of sport and the
open have endeavored to organize a
country club that would provide a
suitable place for the entertainment of
friends and allow the tired business
man an opportunity to enjoy a round
of golf or a game Of tennis while the
younger set tries the latest tango
step n the matrons have their hour
of bridge or sip a cup of tea.
And now that it has come, this
country club, there is no question but
what it will speedily become the most
popular place in all the city. Not only
will the present membership insure it's
permanent success but it's location, the
beauty of the surroundings, the ele-
giant buildings. the spIendidly arrang-
ed golf course, the winding courS of
the river, the trees and the drives,
the bounding tennis courts, will all
go to make the CLUB a rendezvous Of
FargO's citizenship.
The club is situated just two miles
south of the city on the road which
passes directly in front Of the fltra-
ton Plant. In a few weeks this road
is to be oiled by the auto club and ID
will always be in excellent condition.
The club is even miles by river from
the waterworks and landings, which
are being constructed at the club.
will make it easy of access to canoe
and launching parties.
The Misses Rea have spent nearly a
year on the plans and preparations for
the club, assisted by the executive
committee consisting of F. F. Grant,
H. P. BeCkWith, A. w. MCNair, E. H.
~Stranahan, J. A. Montgomery, Seth
Richardson, and Gov. L.. B. Hanna.
The golf course. which is a nine-hole
course was aid out by William Wat
son, the famous golf expert of Los
Angeles. The entire eighty acres have
been turned into club purposes. The
unusual rain Of the past few weeks
has interfered to a certain extent with
the growth of the grass, but with the
coming Of warm weather it will Only
be a few weeks until the whole course
will be in excellent condition for he
golfer.
For devotees Of tennis two large
double courts have been constructed
and these will be open for Ilay on
Monday. The courts are located on
the brow of the hill overlooking the
river where there is always a cool
breeze that energies rather than ex-
hausts the player.
The club house itself will not be the
least Popular portion Of the club.
Built Of brick, surrounded by large
porches thirty feet wide the tired play
ers may here rest a bit before re-
turning 20 town after this game.
Everything that is served at the club
house will be raised right on the farm.

Will Open Monday

, by the Misses Rea are adept at pre-
pairing dainty luncheons. The kitchen
Is thoroughly modern and contains
every equipment found in the first
class hotel. In the club house are al
so steel lockers for ladies and gentle
men. In the mems room are adequate
showers and the entrance is right near
the river making possible a cool plunge
before the meal. The house and
grounds are all electric lighted, a
special dynamo having been installed
for this purpose and the water, which
has been examined by chemists, Is said
to be exceptionally fine. On the
pOrches are large couChes and lounges
and tables covered with late maya
zines. Inside the rooms are more
formal allowing opportunity for priv
ate entertainments.
Today ten teams and a large force
OF men were at work regarding drives
and making ready for the opening
Monday evening. A large parking
space has been provided for autos and
later a garage service will be installed.
Fol parties desiring to ride to the club
on horseback provision has been made
for taking care Of numbers Of horses.

striking appearance. In a few months
the river road will be extended righG
to the club house making a beautiful
drive for auto parties.
Special arrangements hava been
made for small children while their
parents are enjoying the golf or ten
mis-. A large plot of ground we'll COW
cred with sand and surrounded by a
firm fence provides a place where
children may play in safety. For the
younger set dances will be held on
the broad porches each afternoon and
evening.
Altogether the Misses Helen and
Katharine Rca have done exceedingly
well In their efforts to establish a
country club for Fargo, AS the years
go on of course many improvements
will be made, but 1t Is seldom that a
city a have a club SO completely
equipped its drst year. Over $50 have
Joined and many other Fargoans are
only awaiting ting opening before be-
coming members.
1t is hoped that as many citizens as
possible will attend the opening Mon
day night SO that the membership roll
may be completed by next Week. At
that time officers will be elected and
the formal organization announced.
With the park system, the drives,
the river, the auditorium, the stadium
and the country club, Fargo may CON
slider itself quite complete. With the
weekly memberships for students and
the sustaining memberships already
nearly filed, the club will no doubt be-
come a real summer resort, making
unnecessary the tedious trip to the
lakes with their crowded conditions.
