New Pumping Contract Permitted. |
As a result of the hearing that |
was held here recently as regards the |
new pumping contract which was pro-
posed 10 be entered into between the
Twin Falls North Side Land & Water
Co. and the Great Shoshone Power
Co. the Utilities Commission on
Tuesday permitted such contract TO
be put into effect, as will be seen
from the following which appeared
in the Statesman:
Irrigation OF several thousand ac-
res in the Twin Falls district by
pumping was made possible when the
pubic utilities commission issued an
order Monday night putting into ef-
feet a special fat rate for such serv-
ice which had been asked by the
Great Shoshone & Twin Falls Water
Power Co.
Five projects are affected by the
commissions order. Under the old
contract the settlers were required to
stand responsible for the charges on
the entire acreage and owing to the
failure during 1913 of the interests
back of the Great Shoshone and kin
dred interests, settlers found condi-
tions such that they could not profit
ably cultivate more than a small per
centage of the acreage included in
the pumping projects.
AS a result. according TO the peti
iTion OF the power company. onl.
about 1900 acres were cultivated dur
ing 1913 and 1914. The compan,
put into effect fat rate for pump
ing purposes.
The rate is based on certain
amount of receipts for the company
beginning with $4,000 for 1914 an
: ascending to $4,000 for 1918. TIL
. settlers on the projects were anxiou
that the rate should be put into e
feet, but the utilities commission wa
= forced to rule on the question wh'
! rher it was an equitable propositio
to put that rate into effect and sti
=. charge its customary rate for powe
. 1t ruled that the rate for the pumpir
= projects should be allowed.
The rate is as follows:
For the year 1914. $1,000; for Il
year 1915, $500; for the year 191
$4,000: for the year 1917. S12.50
and for the year 1918, $500
amounting in all TO the sum of So
~ 600.
Under the new contract that W
be entered into with the settlers
~ these pumping projects the settle
will be released from paying a
y. pumping charges for five years. t
al charge for this service being Dor
by the water company. Under I
on arrangement the lands on these p
at jects will be speedily put under {
)n tivation.

The United States government will
be asked to aid grain bag importers
in securing supplies in time TO handle
the coming crop. says the Portland
Journal. The local grain trade has
secured the services OF Senator Cham
berlain to advocate their cause before
federal officials
The situation is SO extremely seri-
Gus that the trade here fears that If
the government delays in coming to
the aid of the trade by furnishing
ships to bring cargoes OF bags from
Hongkong a large per cent of the
Pacific coast wheat crop will be
ruined
So tight is said to be the conges.
tion in Hongkong shipping that littl,
relief is expected through the regular
shipping channels. The harvesting
of grain starts in the Pacific north
west in less than a month. therefor,
quick action in securing bags is nee
lessary.

Before many weeks it is highly probable that there will be some big developments in the Zebris murder case that of late has ceased to inter- est the public. Today Chief Rawl- ings said that there is nothing to give out as yet, but he, and the mem bers of the. detective force working on the case, are highly satisfied" with the way things have developed.
 Nothing will come to a head for some time, however, is the opinion expressed by the chief of police here
