Including in its scope a wide variety
OF subjects vital to the city, county
and state alike the meeting Of the
members of the state public utilities
commission and the local commercial
club at the Imperial dining room Wed
nesday evening was by far the most
important session OF the club for many
months. The members of the public
utilities commission. Axel Ramstedt of
Latah county, ]. w. Graham of Twin
Falls and A. L. Freehafer Of Council,
were accompanied on the trip by Capt
E. G. Davis assistant attorney general
of Idaho, and Everett H. Barber, stem
ographer for the commission. They ar
rived in Grangeville Tuesday evening
and went to Cottonwood to hear a
couple of cases Wednesday and return
ed on yesterdays train Because of
the visit of these distinguished Off
cials the regular Wednesday noon lunch
of the commercial club was postponed
until evening, when at eight o'colcS
club members and guests to the num-
ber of As or SO sat down to the table
and enjoyed a splendid repast.
Officially the affair was a distinct
success for gathered around the fes-
tive board were state officials, county
officials, city officials and likewise Of
ficers of various public service corpor-
ations, while the business, commercial
and professional life OF the city was

President S. A. Anderson of the COM
mercial club presided in his usual hap
py manner and called upon Capt. Davis
to lead off in the talkfest This the
captain, who was for a long term sec
retary to former Governor Haines did
admirably, explaining briefly the pur-
port and powers of the public utih-
ties commission and also touching in
terestingly upon the vital topic of the
hour-the proposed north and south
railroad through Idaho. His remarks
were very well received and made a
good impression upon all present Mr..

Ramstedt, Mr.. Graham and Mr.. Free
hafer. of the commission all spoke of
the trip and of their impressions of
the Camas prairie country and it's pos
sibilities. Mr.. Ramstedt did not re-
fer extensively to official matters,
and Mr.. Graham punctuated his remarks
about the commission and the proposed
railroad with frequent and intermit-
tent references to Twin Falls, his home
town. Mr.. Freehafer, or as he is bet
ter known, Senator Freehafer. met the
economy" thrusts of his fellow mem
bers cleverly and to the extreme de-
light of the crowd and launched into
am exceedingly interesting portrayal of
what the promoters of the new road
expect to see brought about Like
Mr.. Graham he urged the commercial
club members to unite in creating a
sentiment favorable for the road, as
serting that the proposed line could
never be constructed unless public SEN
timent was behind it to assist the pro-
moters.
One of the features of the evening
and a speech of great importance to
the citizens of Grangeville and various
other towns of Idaho and Lewis coun-
ties were the remarks of Eugene En-
loe, of the local water and electric light
and power company. Mr. Enloe spoke
pleasantly of the relations Of his cor
porations and the public utilities COM
mission and declared that he believed
public utilities commissions, in their
work of promoting the welfare of the
people and corporations alike were OF
great benefit to the public at large.
Mr.. Enloe announced that his COM
pany has already decided to install a
steam auxiliary plant to take up the
burden Of supplying the prairie towns
, with electric light and power whenever
the water power plant on the Clear

new INDUSTRY
TO OPERATE
IN CITY
Local People Organize to
Utilize Home Product i'm
Cement Thing.

A company composed of Fen Batty,
r. w. Overman, Chester Arnold and
Albert Iverson was formed last week
in this city for the purpose of manu-
featuring sewer pipe, farm drain tiling
and cement blocks for silos and build-
ing purposes, and will use for the
filler the white sand found on the
Fen Batty ranch just north east Of
this city. Mr.. Batty submitted a sam
pie of this sand to the Madison Lum-
ber company who had an analysis
made by the Lehigh Portland Cement
Co.. of Portland, and in making their
returns made the following statement:
"The white sand we would recommend
as being an ideal material for max
ing concrete tiling or. in fact In any
concrete work as it is well graded.
has a comparatively low percentage of
voids and is very low in fine material.
The yellow sand would probably make
a good concrete, although 1t does not
compare favorably with the white
The machinery for this industry will
be installed in a few days in the rear
of Chester Arnolds shop, and as soon
as the weather clears up hauling OF
the sand will commence and the plant
put in operation to full capacity.
The product Of the company will be
on the market In about thirty days
after starting up, and will probably
sell for half of former prices on ac-
count of the freight being eliminated
Aside from the manufacturing the
company win do a general contract
ing business in cement work such as
sidewalks, foundations, silos. etc, and
will possibly have work for halt
dozen men.
