PARTIAL SUSPENSIONOF
SERVICE GRANTED
AT Least Three Round Trips
Per Week Must Be
Made

After hearing by the utilities
commission at Boise on the petition
of the Oregon Short Line company
for permission to close down service
for the winter on its Idaho Northern
branch, in which the people of the
towns on the line to be affected by
such closing down were permitted to
present their side, the commission
yesterday issued an order permitting
a partial discontinuance Of service IN
case accidents should it be necessary.
The application Of the company set
forth that danger from snow, earth
and rock slides demanded discon-
tiuance of service on the branch. The
towns served by the branch protested
against cutting off their trains for
several months. The order of the
commission is a recognition of the
needs of the public with provision for
avoiding actual danger. 1t gives the
road permission to discontinue ser
Vice D6IWeGu Ifle oldIiOHS VI Ddilho anu
Smiths Ferry, after February 20 and
only until April Is, if any actual earth
or rock slides occur showing the dis
continuance to be necessary. No su-
spension will be permitted because of
snow slides. Regular service must be
maintained on the south end of the
branch, from Emmett to Banks, and on
the north end, from Smith Ferry to
Lakeport even when the intermediate
portion of the line is closed down, at 1
least three round trips week must
be made by trains for mails, passen- /
ger, freight and express. Had the ap- (
plication been granted in full, en-
tire suspension of service on the north .
half of the branch would have result
ed, lasting several months.

How and Why

The question of how and why Em-
nett lost to Mountain Home and thus
practically assured the latter team
the championship has been rather Bit
terly discussed. 1t is easily answered
by an analysis of the score. The
reason why may be summed mp as
an older heavier opponents and poor
officials.
The score at the end of the first half
was z to Z. Emmett had so far slight
ly outplayed their opponents, scoring
6 points by field gouls to and for
Mountain Home. Five fouls had been
called on Emmett and 4 on Mountain
Home, but the latter had thrown 3
to l for Emmett. Hence the
tie. With Emmett out scoring their
opponents on the field and with the
assurance that 'Doc' Clark would
s'ret going" with his throwing of fouls
in the second half, as usual, things
looked pretty bright.
But Emmett was playing against
an older heavier team and during
the first half neither official had called
half the fouls made, and the inevita-
bic result was scrappy and rough
game in which the lighter team was
bound to be worn down.
Had the Emmett team been requir-
ed to rest before and after the first
half and save themselves; and had

The Gentle Chinook Bloweth

The warm, dry, soft wind from the
southeast, that always follows a
Spell" of weather and which makes
one dream of things angelic and wish
he had talent for metrical compost
ton and other posey things, better
known as the chinook, commenced
blowing Monday morning and it made
mighty short work of the snow on
the low hills surrounding the valley
and as a result the Payette has been
on the rise and the ice has all gone.
The chinook wind is one of the bless
ings of this country and each year a
bout this time it decends from the high
mountains and removes the snow with
remarkable rapidity. The name ori-
ginated, so it is said, at Astoria,
among the early white settlers, be-
cause it came from the direction of
the Chinook Indian camps to the east
and southeast. However by what
name it may be called scientific men
tell US that it is caused by the same
conditions as are the foehn winds that
ften blow in the northern valleys of
the Alps, due to the indraft of a
storm center passing over central Eu-
rope. The wind, heated by compress
sion in its descent reaches the low
valleys dry and warm; unless the rate
Of descent is slow enough to give the
air time enough to cool off. Any
how its always a welcome wind.

the officials kept the game under con-
troll by calling most Of the fouls, EN-
NETT might have won. At any rate
the game would have been more open
less rough and more interesting, the
teams would have had chance to
show what basketball they could play
and there would have been no ques-
ton but that the better team won.
AS it was, during the second half
Emmett started strong but was soon
worn down. The umpire lost his whis-
tie or forgot to use it, and the referee
called only fouls. OF these, were
on Emmett, Mountain Home threw 2,
while "Doc." scored both. AS Emmett
tired in the last five minutes Of play,
she virtually gave her opponents 2
field gools of their 5, one by a pass
towards Mountain Homes goal, which
should never have been made and was
intercepted and scored on at once.
And by leaving a forward ungarded
with clear field from which to score.
To summerize, Mountain Home
scored IA points from the field against
Emmett's II. Emmett threw half the
fouls called on her opponent, or 3 of
6. Mountain Nome also scored half,
or 3 out Of 10 of the fouls called on
Emmett opposing teams usually near
Iy the same number. With both
teams scoring the same proportion of
their opponets fouls in any game,
,he team winning under fair officials
IS the team scoring the most field
goals, which was Mountain Home in
his case. Hence no question of fair
ness can be raised.
There is, however, very little doubt
hat had the fouls been properly call
ID, the game would have been more
and its decision either
way more satisfactory. Both team
howed occasional flashes of real
brilliant basketball, played sport
nan-like though rough game, and 4
arted in the proper spirit. I

Perhaps the highest achievement IN
the scientific world was reached Mon
