Coming TO Idaho.

A Middleton dispatch to the Capt.
tai News states that "A poll taken on
a Union Pacific train running between
Omaha and Green River, Wyo., show
ed 80 passengers were en- route for
Idaho points," said Edward Seydell
who came here few days ago to
visit his brother. c. w. Seydell. who
came here from Council Bluffs. Ia,
via Green River and Ogden. Mr.. Sy-
dell said there was so much favorable
discussion about Idaho on this train
that a poll was taken of those on the
day coaches and tourist cars, not OF
course on the Pullman cars. the poll
showing that 80 were headed for Ida
no from their former homes in Iowa,
Illinois. Michigan, Wisconsin and
Pennsylvania. Mr.. Seydell spent
several months in Iowa and Nebraska
and said he heard no complaints
there about hard times.

WILL NOT DOWN.

EcnOes OF the power war III SOutn-
ern Idaho still vibrate. and the su
preme court will now be asked to
define the powers of the Utilities
Commission. We doubt II anyone
disputes the necessity for such com
mission IN this state but as to the
powers bestowed upon It there Is
quite a diversity of opinion. The fact
that three men have IT In their power
to dictate to the towns and cities of
the state as to whether or not they
shall have competition among public
corporations. is considered by many
as too far reaching. as this question
should be left to these towns to de-
eide for themselves.
Referring to the action brought be-
fore the supreme court, the Capital
News says:
The supreme court is petitioned 10
sion to certify the records in the cas-
es OF the Great Shoshone and Twin
Falls Water Power Co. and the Sou
thern Idaho Power Co. versus the
Beaver River Power Co.. in which
an application for review was made
yesterday. to that court by April 2b.
Unusual interest is centered In the
application for the constitutionality
OF the public utilities act is attacked.

& Light and Attorney General j. II

After reciting many Of the facts u
conjunction with the two cases and
the Importance of review as ther,
are several similar cases pending be
fore the commission. the application
gives as the following reasons why
the writ of certiorari should be is
sued:
First-That the validity and con
stitutionality OF the legislative act:
of the Legislature of the state o.
Idaho which created such public
utility commission and conferrinl
ana defining It's power be examined
and determined
Second-That the true meaning
and Interpretation OF sections 4SA

Third-That the extent OF tn
rights of said plaintiff under its fran
chise granted by the City of Twil

Fourth-That the jurisdiction Q

An Interesting Visitor.

with tin cans, animal skins. etc, and
followed by a burro and a collie dog.
lrove into town. and at once became
the general attraction of all the peo-
pie on the streets. The gentleman
driver of this equippage proved TO be
no other than Colonel Thatcher, who
has crossed the continent in this man
ner several times, his mission this
trip being to erect signs which will
direct the members of the Washing
ION highway association over the best
route from Portland to New York.
1t seems to always have been the
colonel's ambition to locate the
shortest and best route for this trav-
ell and he states that he has finally
located a route that will put New
York 400 miles nearer Portland than
San Francisco. and he intimated that
a portion of this route laid through
this section. He states that the asso-
oiation has 100000 members. and if
even a small portion of them take
advantage of this route. it will read
lily be seen what it means to this
section.
After sojourning here for a time
the colonel departed for Twin Falls.
from which point he will continue
his journey on eastwerd.

yarn after yarn of the thrilling ex-
periences he has had in his several
trips across the continent.

THE DENVER CONFERENCE.

hc ntcllHS WHICH cOHNeHeS at
Denver today in the interest of irri-
cation in the northwest, probably
presents more opportunities for the
discussion OF this question in an in
telligent manner than has ever be-
fore been offered. That this state is
taking a deep interest in this meet
ing is evidenced from the following
which we take from the Sunday issue
OF the Statesman:
Idaho will be more fully represent
ed at the Denver irrigation confer
ence that opens April than any 9TH
er state of the west with the single
exception, perhaps, of Colorado. This
was the impression that prevailed in
official circles on Saturday.
Ali the members OF the state land
board will attend the conference with
the single exception OF Miss Shep-
herd. the state superintendent OF pub
lie instruction. Governor Haines
Attorney General Peterson, State
Auditor Huston and Secretary of
State Clifford, are planning to leave
on the early morning train. Many
other delegates appointed by the gov
ernor to represent irrigation projects
and water users. associations will
leave on the same train.
This will land the state officials in
Denver two days before the opening
OF the conference proper, but this wa
deemed wise for the reason that there
is certain preliminary work to be
done by the land board before the
opening of the conference.
Attorney Peterson stated Saturday
that he considered it absolutely es-
sential for Idaho to present to the
&C Cn.erence definite and compre
hens. We proposition as coming from
the state
This" said Mr.. Peterson, pre-
sents the first opportunity that the
state of Idaho has ever had 70 put
herself right on irrigation matters
The state has been roasted by invest
ors on the one hand and by settlers
on the other; and up to this time the
state has been unable to say a wore
in self-justification This Denver con
ference presents the opportunity ant
Idaho owes 1t to herself to explain
just why some OF the Carey act pro
jects have succeeded while other
) have failed"
Mr.. Peterson said he had collecte,
a mass OF data on the subject and h.
expected to whip this into shape OF
the way to Denver and after he reach
ed there before the opening of tn
conference. He was not sure tha
the state would be given an oppor
tunity to present anything to the con
ference, but il was his intention t
be ready If the opening presented il
self.
1t has been known for some tim
past that in all this Mr.. Peterson wa
working in complete harmony wit
the ideas of Governor Haines 1t wa
also thought best to have the othe
members of the state land boar
within reach. so that official actio
: could be taken il necessary.

$500 Per Year
We Must Manufacture Orchard
By-PrOducts.

The following which we take from
the Spokesman-Revie will soon ap-
ply to this section as well as the Yak
ina country:
In its long slope from the Cascade
mountains to the Columbia the Yak
ina ripples through one of the won
der valleys of the world. In point
OF present and potential irrigated
acreage, fertility of SOIL climate and
length of growing season its equal
would be hard to find.
Yet this charming and productive
valley, blessed of nature and admired
by man, essentially a sunny vale of
orchard bloom and fruitage, pays out
annually for its own consumption
100000 for orchard byproducts
from distant states, while like pro-
ducts in the raw state are allowed
to perish beneath the trees.
AT a recent luncheon gathering in
North Yakima of business men and
fruit growers c. d. Fairchild assailed
this economic waste, and offered as
exhibits canned fruit brought in Yak
ina stores. AS exhibit A he held up
4 can of cherries from California.
Personally | know" said the speak
er, that cherries went to waste in
the Yakima valley in 1912 and 1913,
and that many who shipped in 1912
received less than cost of produc-
tion.''
can of pears. put up and shipped
from California, was offered as the
next object lesson. From Califor-
mia to North Yakima" exclaimed the
speaker. North Yakima. surround
ing which there are in excess of 5000
acres planted to pears
And as a crowning illustration of
| this violation of the law of economics
Mr.. Fairchild held up jar of apple
butter manufactured in an eastern
state. mo sound argument" said
the speaker. can be advanced
against our manufacture of these
products in the Yakima valley, where
10000 acres will shortly be produc-
ing in excess of a carload to each
two acres" A potential production
in this one valley OF 1000 carloads
of manufactured fruit, and the
valleys population buying canned
fruits in California and the east,
Mr.. Fairchild appealed to the peo-
pie to get out of the rut and plant
their feet on the high road that leads
away from economic waste. Instead
Of buying fruit by-products from dis
! tant states, he declared, the Yakima
: valley should manufacture itself from
present orchard waste an abundance
for the markets of this state and
, Alaska.
Present conditions are wrong and
wasteful and they are not confined
o to the Yakima valley. Every orch
6 ard district in the Pacific northwest
, is an offender in this respect. In the
: broad confines of the Inland Empire
r you may scarcely find anywhere ;

THE JACKSON LAKE RESERVOIR
Work on the Same to BE Resumed
ut Once and Continued Until
ComDletion

At once anu continued Until
Completion.
The question OF the completion OF
the Jackson Lake reservoir from
which this tract Is to obtain its stor-
age water. is ole that has been of
deep concern to the settlers on the
tract. 1t will be remembered that
upon orders OF the land board,
contract was entered into by the
Kuhn Irrigation Co. for the enlarge
ment OF this reservoir. but the fail
ure OF the Kuhns stopped work on
this enterprise. and the same has
lain dormant ever since. At the
time OF Mr.. Shepherds visit here, he
explained that the bondholders would
at once take up the work OF complet-
ing this enlargement. and the follow
ing letter received from ID. c. Nc
Waters. relative to this matter, ex-
plains the situation:

ID. c. McWatters. Gen. Man.
This Will indeed be interesting
news to our readers and all Other
landholders on the tract. as we fel
confident that the work will now b,
pushed forward to completion, al
the bondholders realize the necessit,
OF this reservoir as well as the set

Is very little chance OF their ever get

to arrange for the extension OF pay
ments as heretofore stated, afte
which there Is no reason to doubt bu
what the tract will forge ahead at
pace never before known here.
Even now the benefits to be de
rived from these extensions are be-
Ing manifested. by the enlarged acr,
age that is being put under cultivs
tion. and the various pieces that ar
changing hands. Those who hay

BY MRS. VERNON CASTLE
Book of Instructions on Modern
Steps Offered to Star Readers

Mrs. Vernon Castle. Joint author, With

of the benefits to be derived from the
dance:
The muscles of the legs. thighs, back
and arms are all more or less exercised
when dancing, and the necessity of hold
ing the body erect is good for the other
muscles and nerves. and when you have
grown used to holding yourself in proper
position to dance you will unconsciously
begin to hold yourself in proper position
at all times
Keeping time to the music as You step
the pretty measures of the Hesitation
or Innovation will make you breathe in
time, with deep breaths such as come
when the mind is beating time and the
body is following 1t, and every deep
breath you draw is II fresh aid TO the
beauty we all want so much.
