know as we should, that these West
ern states have developed their water |
power resources until there is now a
large surplus of unused power, and If, |
while admitting that existing laws
should be improved, we recognize that
the greater part of the water power
development of the West has been
made on public lands under existing
laws, limited only by the growth OF
the markets; if we start with the data
as our statement of fact, we shall be
in position to discuss intelligently
the means by which even greater de-
velopment may be made, and need
not be stampeded, as some would have
us stampeded, into a course of action
which we would be certain to regret.
Rights Of Public.
MIR. Graves, chief forester, said:
"a little while ago it was contended
that the public had no right to regu-
late railroads, that it was the begin
ming of anarchy even to suggest that
they did not have the right to use them
as they pleased. No one questions
the absolute right of the public to reg
ulate railroads now.
"A little while ago the men who
built street railways contended
that the corporations who furnish the
capital should own the ground upon
which the tracks rested. Now no one
dreams of allowing private ownership
/ of city streets. The day of uncon
trolled perpetual grant, or even 90
year franchise, Is past, never to re-
turn, not only for street railways, but
also for light and water companies
and kindred public service enterprises.
Water powers are now passing
through similar period of contro-
versy to a similar conclusion, as
| firmly believe"
| Mr.. Graves stated that one of the
first difficulties encountered by the
United States forest service in the de-
velopment of water power sites was
the limitation of authority, which pre-
vented the granting of permits giving
a satisfactory security of tenure.
III the principles in the Ferris bill
are incorporated into law" he asserted
II am confident that the difficult
ties still remaining In administering
the public power sites will be removed
and I base that opinion both on the
development now taking place under
a defective law and on the assurances
of men in the power business"
leral administration will not be con-
tent with anything less than meas
ure to come before congress embody-
ing the principle Of federal control OF
state owned water power. This was
brought out in the addresses Of Clay
J Tallman. commissioner Of the gen

Portland, Oregon. - Delegates from
II states attending the Western States
Wfaferpower conference, who began
three-day session here Tuesday, were
divided into two distinct camps Tues
dag uixht on the question Of federal

The conference was called in oppo-
salti0a to the Ferris bill providing for
T. Leasing system of waterpower sites
" thin the public domain, but the
! .useefin8 was hardly under way before
it was Indicated that the larger sub
rsx.s edf state control versus federal
,.ontunl was to occupy most OF the
attention of the delegates.
The question involved in the set
tIsanent Ut who shall control the de-
uezOpment of the resources OF the
sfzzes are, in the Judgment of many
si1se anost vital and important ques-
ek7ns to our country that have been
RAISED since the civil war" declared
Clyde c.. Dawson, in sounding the key
sH0ee of those opposing federal con-
trsa 1.-The proper solution Of this
,esxsz4fina is for the federal govern
srp<nt to turn over to the states the
Yifle to all the remaining lands within
va1sear borders"
Those opposing the Ferris bill and
EB0efal regulation of the public do
,zsa1m were in complete control of the
.sanvention and elected Governor Will

erW The minority, however, was
z1five and won point when they
yn1ced a compromise on the appoint

FOREST f|RfS RAGING
Pocate;io City Officials Asked to Aid
in Fighting Flames.

A heavy forest fire is raging today
along Mink, Rattlesnake anG Mcrf ar
creeks in the Pocatello National For
est reserve. The fire is not yet under
control, and may prove very disastrous
as thousands of new trees have lately
been planted by the government in
that district.
1t is rumored that large tract Of
both the old and new forest has been
destroyed. Forest Ranger A. P. Say
telephoned to Mayor Williams and
Chief of Police Smith to send gang
of men to fight the fire as soon as
possible Both men were busy round
ing up a. squad this afternoon.
1t is also reported that big fire is
raging east of town, near the head

eral land Office and representative of
the secretary of the interior, Mr..
Graves and Mr. Merrill. Governor
Lister of Washington declared for
compromise, and Commissioner Tall
man urged the same thing.
The feeling of the delegates OPP
posed to the Ferris bill, in their at
titude that the interests of the West
will never permit of compromise with
the principle of federal control was
expressed by ex-senator Samuel H.
Piles of Seattle, who said:
Piles Makes Protest.
"Of course we protest against the

question of impugning any mans mo-
tives. There Is no partisanship or
personality in our attitude. It is
simply a question Of our fundamental
rights.
at must be admitted by well in
formed lawyers that the states do
own the waters within their boundar-
les. This right has been upheld by
the supreme court Of the United States
more than once"

Mr. Tallman spoke with evident

Il am quite sure it will be inter-
esting to all of you to observe in the
flesh he said, lone of the gentle
men SO picturesquely described as a

II am not member of this con-

is PAYING CROP
FARMERS WEST OF RIVER RE
PORT IMMENSE PRODUCTION
OF IT, MAKING SPLENDID
FEED.

Pierre, S. D.--The experiments
with the forage crop kaoliang.
which has been made on west river
farms the past year has encouraged
the eXperimenters TO the point where
they are enthusiasts over results and
are largely extending their acreage
for this year. In Jackson county,
two farmers neal Kadoka report pro-
gress. John Ser, who last year Sc
cured a bushel of seed, planted thir-
teen acres, and it made a ten-foot
growth. Most of the field was cut
for fodder, but three acres was top
ped and threshed, yielding $50
bushels of grain, which was fed sue
cessfully to cattle and hogs, and de-
clared to be better than corn for that
purpose, while the fodder is superior
TO corn fodder for feeding.
jeff Hoon, another farmer, secur-
ed only six pounds of seed and plant
ed it on a tract a portion of which
was in cane. The hot dry weather
of July last year badly damaged the
cane, but had no perceptible effect
upon the kaoliang. and he secured
twenty bushels of seed beside the fod-
der from the tract. Both Of these
men are enthusiastic over the drouth
resisting qualities of the crop as well
as its feeding value for stock, both
as to fodder and grain.

Junior class presented The play,
Jack Frost" in the high school
gymnasium before a large audience.
The settings used for the play
were exceptionally good. Two rail
road stations were built, on either
side of the gymnasium. i small train
was in full view oil the audience as
the freshman boarded the cars at the
village OF. Hicksville and was on
yeyed to the college town. Shirkville.
After experiencing the things that
are inevitable to the college boy,
Jack Frost returned 10 his home by
way of the same train.
One of the interesting features of
the play was a moonlight scene with
Jack and some of his friends sitting
in a tea garden, singing their col
lege song. The effects of the scene
gave an impression OF the rising and
setting of the moon. Practically all
members of the junior class took part
in the play, being under the super
vision of the class ad VISOR, Prof.
Dick Lewallen. Miss Helen Powers
presided at he piano.

Ell as the most popular and beauti-
full young woman attending the
school, and she will he crowned as
May Queen when the May Day
festival takes place about the middle
OF next month. Attendants TO the
queen will be Misses Della Kjelmyr
and Marion Walrath.
The May Day event will be a new
celebration in the Mitchell high
school and it is probable that it will
become an annual event in the future
In many cities this day in High
school IS one of the greatest occas-
ions during the entire year.
The program for the day as ii has
been outlined by Prof. ii. Il. Zilisch
who is supervising the affair, will be
gin with a grand march with the
May Queen seated in the p%alanQuin

WOUND IN LEG MAY
PROVE FATAL TO BOY

Clark. S. D.-As the result of be-
ing accidently shot and wounded,
Sidney Christianson, a Clark county
boy, is in a serious condition. 1t is
feared blood poisoning has set in,
as the wound was affected by par-
ticles of clothing, which were driv-
en- into the wound by the bullet. He
and another boy were hunting near
a railroad track when in some way
the rifle with which they were armed
was .accidently discharged. The bull
let sruek young Christensen in one
of his legs, entering just below the
knee and shattering the bone.
