NO HEARING IN
THE WATER CASE
BY COMMISSION
Action in Case Brought by
Arthur Hodges, Former
Mayor of Boise, Is Post
poned Indefinitely.

The hearing in the complaint OF
brought in his name as mayor, against
the Boise Artesian Hot G. Cold Water
company. has been postponed indefin-
itely by the public utilities commission.
The case was to have been heard today
but no hearing was held. Counsel for
the commission, ID. A. Dunning, assist
ant attorney general, was i'll and I'M
able to make an appearance, and none
was made by counsel for the city owing
to the fact that he was attending to
other legal business and could not be
present when the case was called. II
is probable that an agreement will be
reached later for the hearing. at which
time the allegations in the complaint
will be fully gone into.
The case is one of more or less in
terest to the city and especially to
consumers of the company. The COM
plant charges that discriminatory and
unfair rates were charged by the wat
er company which is one of the largest
operating concerns of its kind in the
state. In reply the company contends
that its rates are rea ionable and fair
and there is no just grounds for the
allegations made.
The complaint was filed when Ar
thur Hodges was mayor of Boise. After
its filing the expert accountant with
the public utilities commission made
an investigation of the books, rates,
etc, of the defendant company and
compiled interesting data for the use
of the commission. Owing to the fact
the commission did not have appro-
pirate funds, an investigation to as
certain the physical valuation of the
company could not be made. The
commission is prepared, it is under
stood, to hear the allegations in the
case as soon as counsel can make the
required appearance and present the
alleged facts.

CONFERENCE ON
OAKLEY Project
Governor Meets Representa-
tives of Kuhn Interests
and the Bondholders.

Governor Alexander held a confer
ence today with d. G. MacWatters
general manager for the Kuhn interests
in Idaho, representatives of the bond
holders; George L. Edwards of St
Louis, ]. III. Puelicker of Milwaukee
and ]. Fl. Purdy Of New York, togetheS
with Moses Smith and counsel repre-
senting the settlers on the Twin Falls
Oakley irrigation project. The object
of the conference was to go into the
matter of reducing the acreage in the
project as recommended by both the
irrigation and drainage commission,
authorized created by the last legisla-
ture and appointed by the governor,
and the land board. This afternoon
the state land board went into session
to hear the representatives of the bond
holders and the settlers.
The land board. the bond holders and
the settlers hope to be able to arrive
at some solution of the Twin Falls
Oakley project affairs and at the meet
ing this afternoon the matter was fully
gone into. All interested parties are
seeking to protect themselves, the
bondholders their investments in the
securities and the settlers their entries
ana improvements.
The affairs of the Twin Falls Oakley
project are not new in the irrigation
problems of this state. The project was
originally segregated for close to $4,000
acres, later reduced and still later 9TH
er substantial reductions recommend
ed. The state engineer was commits
stoned with authority to investigate
the project and make the acreage re-
auctions ordered by the state land
board. The settlers claim they have
not had the amount Of water their
contracts called for and that their
crops have suffered as a result.
Representatives Of the bondholders
seen today as well as the representa-
tives of the settlers are inclined to the
belief that they may be able to get
together and agree upon some plan
that will be mutually satisfactory.

Chief FORESTER
FOR THE STATE IS
CUPP'SPR0POSAL
Caldwell Man Is Drafting
Bill to Be Presented at
the Coming Session of
Legislature.

Idaho will have chief forester TO
| check over and supervise the logging of
TIMBER on state lands after It is sold
either to corporations or individuals.
II bill now being drafted by Captain
w. X. Cupp, recently retired as re-
cruiting officer for the Second Idaho
national guard, to be presented to the
next legislature, Is passed and ap-
proved. Captain Cupp believes that
this state Is in need of a statute des-
lgnating the state land commissioner
as chief forester and that the state is
entitled TO the protection of its timber
through the duties the proposed bill
clothes him with. While the measure
Is still in the rough and will have to he
polished into form. the general pur
poses are set forth
Under the present system of selling
timber on state lands, Captain Cupp
says he has found on Investigation suf-
hcient protection is not given the
younger timber after logging opera
lions starts. This is one Of the pri-
mary reasons why he decided to draft
a measure that will place certain safe
guards around the timber. He says me
mas discovered that after logging oper-
atlons start lot of the young timber
Is ruined by either being cut or dam
aged TO such an extent as 10 make it
useless.
The measure he has drafted proposes
10 give the state land board general
supervision over the chief forester, and
as this official is designated as the
state land commissioner. a new official
is not added to the states payroll. The
land commissioner is at present under
the supervision of the land board
When state timber is sold, the measure
provides, 1t shall become the duty of
the chief forester to see that the log
glng operations are so carried on by
the purchaser as not to injure the
younger at unnarketable timber. 9th
er duties for the chief forester include
demonstration which is to be carried on
extensively over the state.

COAL SHORTAGE IN
IDAHO THREATENED;
LACK OF CARS CAUSE

If the present cold weather
lasts for any great length of
time there is some likelihood of
a coal shortage in southern
Idaho unless the present car
shortage is relieved. Dealers
state that the mines are away
behind on their orders and that
1t Is not because the companies
have not the coal to ship, but
because they are unable to get
cars. There are only three deal
ers In Boise who have any
great amount of storage coal on
hand and the others are receiv-
ing their shipments in carload
lots as they can get it. but as
yet all dealers have been able to
fill all orders and keep some
surplus on hand.

REFERS TO ADAMSON LAW

HErEHS TO ADAMSON LAW.
The annual address of President
Gompers, the main features of which
we're already familiar to the most of
the delegates through the distribution
OF advance copies, was nevertheless
listened to with rapt attention by the
vast assemblage and its salient points
were greeted with loud and prolonged
applause. The consensus of opinion
was that the address constituted the
most powerful pronouncement of the
present and future stand of organized
labor in the history of the movement
IN this country. References to the
Adamson eight-hour law and the atti-
tude adopted by the labor organiza-
ttons In relation to the national politi-
cal campaign just closed attracted par
ticular attention.
The remainder of the initial session
of the convention was devoted to the
appointment of the various committees
and the completion of other details of
organization. When the delegates re-
assembled after luncheon the annual
reports of the various officers. the
standing committees and the executive
council were taken up for consider
alton.

That Sunshine" Bag

Dear Editor:-Through your valuable
paper | wish to thank all the friends
who helped fill the Sunshine Bag
for Mother Fletcher. 1t seemed so sad
that her seth birthday had to be spent
in bed, through the injury received by a
fall last June. Nearly all of her life was
spent in HYDE Park. She was one of the
pioneer teachers, boarding around from
house to house, as part of the taxes were
paid in that way those days. Some of
her scholars are noted men. such as SEN
ator Page, Hon. Frank Plumley and the
late Judge White. The friends who con-
tributed to the Sunshine Bag" have no
idea of the amount of pleasure she will
receive from day to day, for Hyde Park
means so much to her. She remembers
Hyde Park people for three or four gener-
atious back. LIBBIE KELLEY FELcHER.
