sion Tuesday by the Oregon Short
Line. The company's table showed
that during the year deficit of SAB
f88O.73 was incurred on the Is lines.
The hearing was held on a COM
plant field by the attorney general,
asking that the railroad be compelled
to put into effect rate of 3 cents per
mile on all its branches. The first
hearing was held August 20, 1914.
Subsequently the commission issued
an order directing the railroad to,
within 20 days, discontinue charging
more than cents per mile on any
branch line The order was made
permanent as to the Yellowstone and
Twin Falls branches. AS to the others
affected, however, the railroad COM
pany was allowed new hearing. The
Boise branch was not affected be-
cause the Scent rate was already in
effect on it.

George H. Smith, of Salt Lake and

scented the railroad company at the
hearing Tuesday. Joel l.. Priest, gen.
eral agent, also assisted in the pro-
ceedings. Captain Davis appeared for
the complainant.

position OF being compelled to show

SURPRISED At DEVELOPMENT
Senator Elliott Tells of the impress
sions Gained in Trip.

The development of southern Idaho.
Especially in the dry farming section,
| is little short of wonderful and made
! q distinct impression on Senator e. E.
| Elliott of Bonner county, member OF
the irrigation and drainage committee.
who visited this section recently, judg-
| ing from the following statement he
made upon reaching his home at Bon
ners Ferry:
| This commission was created to see
if something could be done on the part
of the state to relieve the serious con-
dition into which the settlers on several
of the Carey act irrigation projects
have fallen by reason of failure on the
part of some of the companies pro-
noting these systems. The commission
is also empowered to draft new legis-
lation for both irrigation and drainage
purposes, if such should be deemed me-
cessary. In accordance with it's duties
the commission is investigating the
condition of all Carey act projects in
the state, interviewing the settlers, ex-
aiming the irrigation works and hold
ing meetings at various places. We
started our tour at Arco in Blaine
county and have visited the Big Lost
River, Little Lost River, Blaine county,
South Side and North Side Twin Falls.
Little Salmon River, Oakley and King
Hill irrigation systems. Most of this
tour was made by auto, using high
power machines and making runs av-
eraging from 25 to 80 miles anhour
through the sagebrush country.
| Rain Saved Country.
Three of the projects visited are at
an elevation of 5000 feet and the sea-
son is fully month behind the Koote-
mai valley, but other sections like that
of King Hill on the Snake river were
ahead of us. Around Twin Falls they
are just beginning to cut the first crop
of alfalfa. This country Is rapidly de-
veloping as seed producing region.
Thousands of acres are being used for
the culture of seed peas, alsike and red
clover and alfalfa seed. Some of the
farmers are also growing garden seeds
i This is not as good stock country as
the North Twin Falls tract although
large numbers of hogs are raised. We
found on some of the projects visited
that they are up against serious
lshortage of water and had it not been
Ifor the heavy rains during May theil

The rainy spring and cool weather

great development of the past two
years in dry farming. Immense tracts
of sagebrush land, much Of it on thu
slMpuntain slopes, have been ploWel

LEASED state land, but many are TAX

Supreme Court Rules That New Law
Is Imperative.

The supreme court of Idaho held
that the act of the last legislature pro-
viding for the monthly instead of
quarterly payment of county officers
salaries was unconstitutional 1t was
argued that the constitution meant
that the salaries should be paid at not
greater intervals than every quarter

but the court constructs the act in
conjunction with the law requiring
county commissions to meet quar-
terly and says that if the salaries
were paid monthly the commissioners
meeting quarterly, would have no OPP
portunity to make deductions for
amounts possibly due the county.
The decision was rendered in the
case of Robert H. Leonard, probate
judge of Owyhee county, against John
S. st. Clair, auditor of that county.
Judge Leonard, in order to test the
law applied for writ of mandate to
compel the auditor to pay him his
salary for the month of May, 1915.
The auditor demurred to the petition
for the writ, and the supreme court
sustained the demurrer.
Amendment Needed.
In its decision the court said.
1T is earnestly urged that the peo-
pie of Idaho are upon a different ba-
sis now than they were when the
constitution was adopted and amend
ed as hereinbefore set forth; that
while some years ago business in this
state was conducted upon Nterms OF
extended credit, now it is upon a
cash basis, or current bills are paid
from month to month and that pay
ment of county officers quarterly in
stead of monthly will result in great
Inconvenience. We are fully aware OF
