THOMPSON SAYS UNCLE
IS FAVORABLE TO
BLACK CANYON

]. NJ. Thompson returned from
pleased with the results of his trip.
He was able to get the time extern
sion for the Pioneer Irrigation Dis
trict which Judge King approved of
when he was in Caldwell. He also
feels confident that the governor will
undertake the reclamation OF the Black
Canyon tract, finally. No help can
be expected from this congress but
Judge Thompson and the Idaho del
egation in Congress feel hopeful of
favorable action by the next session
Adverse Spirit is Gone.
The Tribune has in its possession
information direct from Washington
which shows that the adverse spirit
toward the Black Canyon has alb
solutely disappeared, and the resolu-
ton which has been passed by the
Reclamation Commission and which
appeared in the Tribune shows the
desire of the Reclamation Board to
proceed with the Black Canyon as
rapidly as possible.
More about the Black Canyon situa-
ton in Washington will be published
next week.
Supplemental Contract.
The supplemental contract for the
Pioneer Irrigation District, which has
been recommended by the commits
sion and approved by the Secretary Of
the Interior, provides for payment Of
the construction charges, both for the
drainage system and for the storage
capacity in Arrowrock Reservoir in
20 annual installmentS, the first four
of which installments shall be per
cent each, the next two per cent each
and the next fourteen installments
E per cent each Of the total construc-
ton charges.
Under the old contract the District
agreed to pay 10 per cent each year,
for ten years. AT glance one can
see the benefit which the District will
derive from the supplemental contract.
The supplemental contract also pro-
vides that the District shall receive a
credit amounting to the same proper
tionate share of the proceeds of the
sale, rental, disposition or transfer
of machinery, equipment, supplies, APP
plances and structures of any and all
kinds which are included in making
UP the estimate of the total cost OF
the reservoir and which remained on
hand after the completion thereof.
Said contract will have to be rati-
fed by the vote of the district, but
it is not to be supposed that any one
will oppose the contract, when it is
giving them 20 years to pay, instead
of 10
The board of directors of the
Pioneer Irrigation District have had
this in mind ever since the origina.
contract was ratified that is, that ir
case an extension of time was giver
to the Reclamation Projects, the dis
trict would apply for the same extern
sion and the district has been aler
in looking after this Elatter.

DECLARES IDAHO COAL
RATES ARE EQUITABLE
interstate Commerce Commission Dis
misses Complaint Against
Railroads.

The interstate commerce commits
sion ednesday dismissed the complaint
of the public utilities commission of
Idaho against the Short Line and
Union Pacific alleging that rates on
coal from kemmerer and Rock
Springs to southern Idaho points We're
unreasonably high. The commission
holds the existing rates 10 be fair,
particularly as Idaho cities are not
so situated as to be able advantage
ously to get coal from other sources.
The fact that rates from yoming to
Portland and to north Idaho are COM
paratively low is explained by the
commission on teh ground that those
points can get coal from other sources
and therefore the railroads are COM
PEELED to make low rates to get bust
ness.
