ton in all these matters. We fee
that the safety OF employees and tn,
public should be thoroughly protected
and still the rules for line construc
ton be made so liberal that the cleo
tric power of the great northwest can
be utilized in the development of the
resources of the country.
Mr.. Fsken also spoke of the i'm
portance of the coming action of the
Public Utilities Commi ON.
My company" he said, in com
mon with all other power companies
operating in North Idaho, is vitality
interested in the final outcome OF
.h.s hearing now ON with the Public
Utilities Commission. Few peaple in
south Idaho realize what electric pow
er means in the development of the
mining industry. This is not only
Important to the large properties that
are operating on broad scale, that
are producing mines, but infinitely
acre so to prospects, or new mines
that still have their way to make in
the world.
TO reach many of these prospects
it is often necessary to construct lon
transmission lines. This is ex-
pensiye and many good mining pros
poets must be abandoned On this ac-
count. To add largely to the cost
of obstruction of these transmission
lines, and to establish rules that
would make it practically impossible
to build lines through many of the
narrow conyons of the north would,
IN my Judgment be disastrous to
the mining industry.
Power men are asking nothing I'M
We are not opposed to
'ules-we court the establishment of
Jules and are ready to cooperate
with the Commission and with all
)ther interest to the end that our
employees and the public shall have
very Pc sible protection. ALL We ask
S that fair treatment be accorded
MS great industry and that the pow
II and light men be accorded every
facility in assisting in de-
clipping the state"

Dear SIR

have Just received a carload of sios and
thought perhaps you would be interested in knowing
just what they are. l must admit that l have taken
with a grain OF allowance all that has been said about
these silos by the various officers of the company and
by Mr.. Townsend, but l will have to admit that the
laugh is on me. l couldn't see how they were going to
get around some of those cross-grained coarse ones that
come so often in long lengths. There were seven sios
in this car, one - foot and six 80 foot, consisting of
785 pieces and every piece was perfect in quality of lum-
Der as we'll as in the milling. l take the purchasers of
these silos out in the yard to see them and every man
is more than pleased with the material they are to re-
Ceive.
l was on the lookout for something to kick
about and handled every piece and want to say that in
the sixteen years that l have been in the lumber bust
ness | never saw it's equal.
You have nothing to fear in putting it up
to your customers pretty strong for l know that
the company is in a position to satisfy the most partic-
ular customer.
Yours truly,
N. r. Howard.
I. S. It would do you good to see this fine lot-.not a
single pin knot in the entire lot.
