scented evidence regarding the switch
Weiser on through shipments and in
troduced John McNish, a millman of
Emmett, to show that he had conduct
ed a mill receiving his logs by river,
and to testify that in his belief 1t would
pay better to establish mills near the
timber, although he admitted that he
has derived a considerable revenue
from the sale of waste to residents
of EIam EFT.
Tho chief reliance of the railroad Of
ficia1s seemed to be in assertin- the
friendship of the Oregon Short Line for
all southern Idaho in general and for
Boise in particular. D. e. Burley tes-
titled that the road had spent large
sums as high as $4,000 in a single
year. in advertising Idaho and in eff
forts to secure immigration. A table
showing high rates on logs on six
roads in the south was presented.
In rebuttal the Boise Lumber COM
pany introduced a sawmill man named
Balbach of New Meadows who testi-
fed that 1t would not be possible to
conduct milling operations in that Sec
ton more than six months in the year
without a prohibitive cost on account
Of the deep SHOWS, the cold winters
and the wet springs. He declared that
| logging can only be conducted prof
itably in the summer months.
The case was concluded shortly after
noon today and the coal rate case
brought by the public utilities commits
sion of this state was then taken up.

to make 1t at home, which is mussy

WRONG BREAKFAST.

Many persons think that for
strength, they must begin the day with
a breakfast Of meat and other heavy
foods. This Is mistake as anyone
can easily discover for himself
A West Virginia carpenters ex-
perience may benefit others. He writes:
II used to be a very heavy breakfast
eater but finally Indigestion caused me
such distress, l became afraid to eat
anything.
my wife suggested a trial of Grape
Nuts and as I had to eat something or
starve, I concluded TO take her advice
She fixed me up a dish and remarked
at the time that the quality was all
right, but the quantity was too small
I wanted a saucerful.
But she said a small amount Of
Grape-Nuts went long way and that
I must eat it according to directions
So I started in with Grape Nuts and
cream. two soft boiled eggs and some
crisp toast for breakfast.
81 cut out meats and a lot OF other
stuff l had been used to eating all my
life and was gratified to see that I was
getting better right along. I conclud-
ed I had struck the right thing and
stuck to it. I had not only been eat
ing improper food, but too much
Il was working at the carpenters
trade at that time and thought that
unless I had hearty breakfast with
plenty Of meat, would play out before
dinner. But after a few days Of my
new breakfast" I found I could do
more work, felt better in every way,
and now I am not bothered with indi-
gestion.'

POWER PLANT FOR
THE STATE HOUSE
HEAVY EXPENSE
Cost of Coal for Heat, Power
and Light One Of Items
That Exhausted the Ap-
preparation.

one reason why the $50, 900 appropri-
alton for capitol building maintenance
has now but a balance of 60 cents is
the cost connected with the operation
of the power plant and the amount of
coal consumed, as is evidenced from an
inspection of this account as carried on
the books of the state auditor. Ac-
cording to those figures the cost OF coal
for the power plant during 10 months,
or from March 10, 1913, the time the
appropriation became available, up to
June 20. 1914, total of Is months, was
no less a sum than S10177.44 or an
average Of about $67S a month. The
account shows that practically all of
this coal was purchased through local
dealers.
1t IS so shown by the account that
the item of help for the capitol main

.enance ran close to $1,000 a month, iue
to the Il ct it was found necessary to
employ from eight to IL men, who were
raid from $50 to $40 monthly salaries.
The largest salary per month was
drawn by R. Record. $3.50. He holds
the position OF general overseer, or
head janitor. ]. S. Record, father OF
the former, is also shown to be on the
payroll at salary OF SIS per month.
Seth clifford a night Waterman, father
of the secretary of state, is receiving a
salary of 500 per month Most OF the
other men receive SIS per month, al
though a few OF them are paid but $50
per month.
Practically no money was paid out
for furniture from this appropriation.
Items running from 81 up to $4,000
make up the total account. Telephones,
water, electric power, etc, play an i'm
portant part in the accounts carried.
Two-thirds of the appropriation was
spent the first 10 months.
1t cost, according 10 the account as
expended a total Of $3333 per month to
keep up the capitol building, or $111 a
day. On that ba sis II would cost $79,-
992 for the biennial period to maintain
the big building, its annex and the
power plant. With six months left in
the present year and two months to
follow before another legislative appro-
priation can be made for capitol main
tenance, the state must run the balance
of the time left on a heavy deficiency,
which II is now claimed cannot help
but be created.

he said where the government is I'M

Forest Supervisor Testifies.
]. B. Lafferty, forest supervisor at
Weiser. testified that he had taken the
matter of the sale of timber up with
various persons in Weiser, Boise, Pay
cite, La Grande and other places. but
he had been unable to sell to them.
In the eight years he has had charge
of the Weiser reserve he has sold but
COCO 900 feet and that has all been to
parties supplying a small local demand
for lumber. He said one mill man at
Payette had taken up the matter o. the
purchase of several million feet and he
had arranged a meeting between him
and Heigho but that nothing ever came
of it.
| Thomas Mott testified that the Boise
| Lumber company would buy govern
ment timber If it could get rate on
logs that would permit their being han
died.
The state presented evidence show
ing its holdings of timber in that sec
ton and that it has had no offers to
buy 1t, and the case closed for the com
plainants and intervenors.
Lee Highley, civil engineer for the
Pin road, was called. He identified a
profile map showing the grades along
the line of the road. He said there
.Vsrt, No 8
line to make 2s complete circuits If all
run together and that these curves
tended to remove the advantage that
otherwise would come from the down
grade haul from the Salmon summit
He said the average grade the full
length of the read is about one half Of
/ per cent, but in going north there Is
a stretch of six miles of per cent
grade. and three miles OF IA per cent
grade, while north Of the summit there
is two miles in one place and one mile
in another of 2 per cent grade.
Colonel Heieho Called.
Colonel Heigho, vice president, gen
eral manager and general traffic man
ager of the Pacific & Idaho Northern.
next testified He said he paid the
Short Line As cents a day for the cars
of which logs We're hauled; that the
equipment of his road consists OF Ave
locomotives. Ave pieces of passenger
equipment and 80 cars of various kinds;
that his engines could pull nine loaded
cars to the summit coming south with
q average load OF $4,000 pounds. He
characterized the logging traffic as an
extremely dangerous traffic because the
numerous curves would cause the logs
TO get loose and fall from the cars and
derail the trains, making 1t dangerous
to passengers riding in the freight ca
boose. On cross examination he denied
that lumber, which he said was a de-
sirable freight, was subject to the same
difficulty and that no lumber car had
