ARBOR DAY PROCLAMATION

The time has again arrived when,
in accordance with custom, it is ne
cessary to designate day to be
known and observed throughout thu
State as Arbor Day. This day is of
peculiar significance to Idaho and to
the other arid States of the great
West. Its purpose is to foster the
cultivation OF trees and the protec-
tion of birds. Every tree which is
made to grow adds beauty to the
landscape and makes our State a
more desirable place in which to
live and the multiplication 'of trees
has .tempering effect upon the at
mosphere, increasing it's humidity
and thus tending to mitigate the
desert character CT much of the area
of our State
Now therefore, l, John NJ Haines,
Governor of the State of Idaho. do
designate and set apart Friday, the
oath day of April as Arbor Day. and
do recommend that insofar as prac-
ticable this day be designated by
county superintendent of schools
throughout the State as Arbor Day
in their respective counties. rec
ommend, also, that the day be gene1-
ally observed by the planting of trees
and by the holding of exercises cal
culated to impress our young people
with the great Importance to us Of
the cultivation of trees and the pro-
lection of birds.
In testimony whereof, have here
unto set my hand and caused the
Great Seal Of the State to be affixed,
this 18th day of March, 1914.
(SeaD JOHN M. HAINES,
BY the Governor: Governor,
WILFRED l.. CLIFFORD,
Secretary of State. ,,

Irrigation Evil Minimized

Washington, April GA hearing
was held before the, committee on irri-
cation of arid lands On Repr sscnta.
tive French's bill amending the, Carey
act so as to place more RESPONSE. ility
upon the government and the states
in the administration Of the law.
While thsre has been much Of sue
cess under the Carey act and many
prosperous projects, other projects
have been failures and the settlers
upon them have lost the money that
they have put in or have received an
insufficient amount of water to irri-
gate the lands.
Under the French bill it would need
to be efinitely determined that sui
ficient supply of water exists for the
project and the land would not be
open to settlems mt until the water
was ready to be placed upon the
lands-a policy that recently has been
followed by the government in reclaim
alton projects. This would insure
settlers against less as they would not
buy water rights blindly but only
upon projects where it had been
smoEstrated that the projects were
a success. 1t is also urged that this
would place the irrigation under the
law into thoroughly responsible hands
in every instance and consaqu emily
would be better for bondholders as
we'll, and save the good name of the
states operating under the Carey
act laws.
The committee is intensely interest
ed in the question and is awaiting the
report from the department upon the
subject.

to size him up and show him as near

he wants the best whether it is a
cigar, pipe, package of tobacco
or cigarette. We work from the
top down, not from the bottom up
And he gets the same kind OF treat
ment whether he selects an imported

their blue glasses, throw out their
chests, hold up their heads and look
up toward the high spots, where the
sun is shining.
That's my idea of tho cigar bust

UTILITIES ATTACKED

Inc right OF the public utilities com
mission to exist and the constitution
atty of the act creating it was at
tackled in the supreme court Satur
day, the first time in it's history. An
application was filed asking the high
est tribunal of the state to review the
commissions findings in two cases
the Great Shoshone & Twin Falls
Land & Water company and J. H.
Seaver versus the Idaho Power &
Light company and the Southern Ida
no Power company versus the Beaver
River Power company. The applica-
tions for writs Of review are made by
the Idaho Power & Light company an
the Beaver River Power company.
They appear as plaintiffs against ]. A.
Blomquist, A. P. Ramstedt and D. w.
Standrod, as the public utilities CON-
mission.
Companies Barred from Territory
The Idaho Power & Light company,
successor to the Beaver River Power
company, was excluded from operat-
ing in competition to the Great Sho-
shone & Twin Falls Water Power
company in the city of Twin Falls
The Beaver River Power company
was excluded from operating in COM
petition to the Southern Idaho Power
company in the Pocatello territory
The public utilities commission order
ed both companies to cease construc.
ton work in these respective cities.
1t found they had not complied with
the law or applied for or had been
granted certificates of public conven-
fence and necessity to operate in
those cities. The Great Shoshone CON-
pany and the Southern Idaho com
pany attacked the Idaho Power &
Light company and the Beaver River
Power company, respectively, charg-
ing unlawful usurpaticn of the right
of their competitors to build into Twin
Falls and Pocatello
The applications for writs of review
recite in detail the facts in the case,
the dates when the variousmoves were
made against the Idaho Power &
Light company and the Beaver River
Power company in the complaints filed
by their competitors before the COM
mission and the commissions findings.
Both defendant companies were denied
applications for rehearings.
Carries Power War to Court
BY the action taken before the SUI
preme court today the strenuous pow
or war that has been waged between
these four big power companies brings
out a direct attack on the constitu
tionality of the law creating the com.
mission.
Relative to the commissions order
and among other things stated, the ap
plication of the Idaho Power & Light
company says:
"The said decision and order made
by said public utilities commission of

discussion at a special meeting of the

brothers be given a hearing before

proposition to put county affairs into
