ANUCiBLl SETTLED.

II Is source of qualification To
learn that the controversy that has
been ragged in the state for some time
between the power companies. the
telephone companies and the rail
roads over rules to be adopted 10y the
Utilities Commission relative to ov-
erhead construction. has been salts
factorily adjusted and that the rules
as adopted by the commission meet
with the approval of all parties cen
cerned
In adopting the rules the Idaho
commission becomes the pioneer of
all existing commissions in the Unit
ed States to promulgate and adopt a
complete set of rules agreed upon by
the electric light and power interests
the telephone and telegraph inter
ests and the railway interests.
This Is the first instance in any
state where such is the case. II is
claimed. The rules outlined in the
order are the same that will. If pres
ent plans go through, be uniformly
adopted in every other state in the
union. They are also said to have
the Endorsement of the brotherhood

With the uncertainty of the hay
and spud market in this section. and
with the settlers not in "A position TO
stock their ranches as would be ne
cessary to consume the surplus pro-
duct, would it not be wise to investi-
gate some other industrial pursuits
that would yield certain revenue 10
the producer?
The growing of sugar beets in the
Burnley district has become a huge
industry in that section, and there is
no reason to suppose but what they
can be raised as successfully in this
section as in that district which is
only few miles distant. The one
alluring feature of the growing of
sugar beets is the certainty of the
market, as the contracts are made
and the crop is sold even before it is
planted. Our attention has been call
ed TO this matter by report of the
result OF the seasons work at the
sugar factory at that place, which we
find in our Burley exchange, which
is well worthy Of perusal by those
who are looking for more profitable
lines of farming. The report says:
When the sugar beet factory at
Burley closed its seasons run on
December goth it was found that an
average of Gao tons of beets per day
was made, or 40 tons more per day
than its designed capacity.
During the period of operation
tons Of beets were cut out of which
$4,000 bags OF sugar were made.
From the towns of Oakley, Kim
berry, Rupert, Paul, Hansen and
Burley about 1900 carloads of beets
we're shipped to the factory. The
acreage will be greatly increased dur
ing the coming year and the capacit.
OF the factory will be increased t.
take care of the larger production
The crop has been found to be Sc
profitable that in great many plac
es alfalfa land is being plowed VI
and beets put in. The beets will av
erage from 10 to IS tons to the acr
for which the farmer get So per to-
at the factory.
Almost $4,000 was paid to tn
farmers of this locality by the factor
this season in addition to giving en-
ployment to $50 men
The pulp residue from the factor
is used for fattening cattle almost
thousand head being fed there nov
Another feed which has been foun
to have excellent fattening qualitie
is mixture of low grade molass'
and ground alfalfa hay.
The soil and climatic condition
here are said to be ideal for beet Gu
ture and the yearly increase in acr
age indicate that the industry is v
in its infancy

NAVE REASON TO BE THANKFUL

While the settlers on the North
side tract have experienced no end of
troubles since coming onto their land
hooking at II from the most discour-
aging view. il would appear that we
have reasons to be thankful that mat
ters have turned out as they have on
this tract. and that We are in Il fair
way to have our system completed
Without any additional expense to the
land holders. This conclusion is
reached after reading the statements
being made before the legislative
committee that is investigating the
conditions upon some OF the unnn-
ished projects OF the state.
Manager Shawhan OF the King Hin
project was before the committee last
week and his revelation OF conditions
existing on that project were OF Il
startling nature TO the committee. fl
will be remembered that the King
Hill project was thrown into the
hands Of "A receiver after the con
structing company had utterly failed
to complete the project II was af-
forwards purchased by the state at
receivers sale. and MIR. Shawhan
was deputized as manager OF tn.
same. He now informs the commit
tee that unless the state or govern
ment comes forward with half "A mil
lion dollars to complete the system.
the settlers stand to lose more than
this amount.
At the time OF the taking over OF
this tract by the bOndholdors and the
proposition OF the extension agree
ment presented to the settlers there
was a certain element on the tract
that courted receiyership But
thanks TO the good Judgment of a
majority OF the settlers. the extern
sion agreement was accepted. and no
one stands to lose anything by ac-
cepting the same
Under the receiver MANAGEMENT
and afterwards by the state. manager
Shawhan tells the committee that
while the cost OF maintenance has
been GO cents per acre. il would have
to be raised to 81 so or 5000 per
acre from this time on Quite "a dif-
ference between this amount and the
sum paid by the North Side settlers
Mr.. Shawhan said that 80 cost
about $3.50 or more per acre TO put
the raw sage land in crop and that it
was a serious matter To make thi.
expenditure and then not be guaran

Union Opposes "Full Crew. Bill.
The Texas Farmers Union regis
tered its opposition to this character
OF legislation at the last annual meet
ING held in Fort Worth. Tex, August
g. 1911 by resolution, which we quote,
az follows:
me matter of prime importance
to the farmers Of this state is AN ade-
quate and efficient marketing system;
and We recognize that such a system
Is impossible without adequate rail
road facilities, embracing the greatest
amount Of service at the least pos
slble cost. We further recognize that
the farmers and producers in the end
pay approximately 80 per cent Oh the
expenses Of operating the railroads.
and 1t is therefore to the interest of
the producers that the expenses of
the common carriers be as small as
Is possible, consistent with good SER
vice and safety We, therefore, call
upon cur lawmakers, courts and
Jurics to bear the foregoing facts in
mind when dealing with the common
