WATER POWER. RIGHTS
Each State VIII Have Entire Super.
vision of Actual Operation.

Washington, d. c., March .. The
president and cabinet have consented
to accept Secretary Garrison's policy
regarding national water power rights.
Mr.. Garrison's plans make no surren-
der to the federal governments power
to control navigable streams, yet 1t
practically gives to the state the en-
tire supervision of actual operation
The idea is that congress will be ask
ed by the department to issue permits
for the construction of dams and pow
err plants these are to be given only
to concerns incorporated as public
utilities under state laws.
The operation and regulation will
be under the states commissions and
is intended to prevent any monopoly
or unfair discrimination. Instead of
tolls or rents from these plants going
to the federal government, it will re-
main in the treasury of the state. In
states where there is no utilities COM
mission no grants will be issued. This
will probably have a tendency to force
legislation in states where at present
there is no utilities commission.
Another pleasing feature of the
scheme is that franchises will be
granted for so years only and at the
end of that time, the dams and aces
sorry work shall become the states
property. The entire scheme is close
| ly related to the proposed plan of the
secretary of the interior, Mr.. Lane, fol
/ the regulation of the water power pro
! jects on public lands.

BUILDING BURNS
Building Formerly Occupied by Cakes
Mercantile Co. Destroyed by Fire.

Sunday evening, at eleven o'clock,
fire broke out in the store building
which has for several years been oc-
cupied by the Cakes Mercantile COM
pany. at ROgerson, totally destroying
the building. The Helsley family,
who have been occupying it recently,
had a very narrow escape, there being
lust sufficient time to arouse them to
permit their escape from the build
ing. All of their household effects,
clothing, and some stored mercantile
goods. were destroyed. The origin of
the fire is not known, although 1t is
presumed that the fire started from a
defective flue. The Helsleys are now
living at the Rogerson hotel.
The Cakes building was erected sew
eral years ago by It. NJ Cakes, who
has conducted an enterprising mer-
camille business at Rogerson until last
| fall, when he sold out to the Rogersbn
| Mercantile company, new corpora
| ton composed mostly of members OF
! the Helsley family The new company
erected a splendid new store building
| in Rogerson, and have since occupied
the old building as residence quarters
1t was the intention of Mr.. Helsley to
put in a new floor in the old building
and to rent it for dancing, roller skat-
ing and other amusements some time
this spring.
The fire was very spectacular, ano
attracted considerable attention in
nearby towns The wind was very
favorable and carried the Flames
away from other buildings. 1t was
feared for few minutes that the oil
house, in which a large quantity OF
gasoline is stored, would catch or
fire and spread the flames by the ex-
! plosion that would follow, but >the
wind changed and swept the flames
in another rection.-EIollister Her,

WILL he OPPOSE HAINtS?
RumOr That Senator BOrah VIII OPP
pose Haines For Governor.

Persistent reports have been afloat
for some time that Senator Borah had
sent word to Idaho, through we'll
known men who have recently visited
Washington and by letter, that he
would not support Governor Haines
for reelection.
A representative of The Statesman
Saturday called Governor Haines' at
tention to these reports.
II have heard them" said the gov
ernor. Il am reluctant to discuss this,
but it does not seem possible that SEN
ator Borah has taken the position OF
attempting to dictate the nominations
on the Republican ticket in this state
in the coming campaign.
He more than any other man III
the state, is entitled to credit for the
enactment of the district primary law
and it is incredible that he should be
unwilling to allow the people full free
dom of choice in the selection of their
party candidates.
Senator Borah and | are personal
friends of long standing, and / know
of no reason why he should not De
willing to accept my candidacy pro-
vided I am again nominated by the
voters of the Republican party in an
open primary.
''To attempt to dictate or control
the action of the people would be moth
ing short of reputation of the nrin-
-ciple of primary nominations and to
refuse to support the candidate freely
chosen by the party would be to lg-
more the Judgment of the people and
to question their ability to select their
own candidates. This / do not believe
the senator has ever thought of doing.
"Just now the voters Of Idaho are
much interested in the possible nom
ination of Senator Borah for the pres
idency in 1916. If he is nominated
and everyone in Idaho hopes he will
be, it will be on a platform which viii
fully recognize the right of the Re
publican voters of the nation to freely
nominate and select their candidate
for this high office.

MACKAY DAM IS UNSAFE
Engineers State That Structure is in
Danger of Reing Washed Out

The Mackay Miner states that last
week engineers made an examination
of the Mackay dam and made discov-
cries which chilled the hearts of the
people of that section, pronouncing
that the dam is unsuitable for storage
water purposes and that it leaks bad
ly, the water flowing underneath the
structure and that building it higher
will be a useless undertaking.
This means probably that the sale
of the bankrupt Lost River Irrigation
project will be again delayed and that
the unfortunate people of that section
will have to wait another long while
for water for their land 1t is prob
able that another site will be selected
for dam to be built and that the
present expensive project will have to
be abandoned.

ed in old-fashioned garb. The tables
were covered with red table cloths and
instead of the modern electric lights
coal oil lamp offered the illumination.
The dinner was served as it used to
be in olden times, that is, it wasn't
served at all, everything being on The
table, cut first and passed and there
were none of the modern palate tick
lers," the kind that makes you want
something real to eat, but just plain
food. The tableware was old-fashion-
ed and heavy and the plates were
turned up-side-down, when the guests
entered. Everything from the stew
ed onions to the cherry pie was eaten
with a relish. People that were al
ways supposed to have had delicate
constitutions surprised their friends
and families by being the most hearty
eaters of the bunch. This unique din
ner was certainly different from the
general run of dinners given now-a-
days and it will long remain in the
minds of the fortunate guests.
