POWER COMPANY HITS
VALUATION FIGURES
Corporation Says Public Utilities Re
port Is Incomplete Hearing
Will Be Held.

Officials OF the Potomac Electric Power
Company, after a hasty examination Of
the physical valuation figures submitted
to them yesterday by the Public Utilities
Commission, issued a statement express
ing the opinion that the report OF the
commission covered only a portion Of the
figures and elements that must be taken
into consideration IL valuation is to be
used as a basis for the rates which the
company charges.
The company has had no time to in
spect these reports" reads the statement.
and it Is therefore not in a position to
make any definite statement concerning
them. 1t. appears, however, that these
reports treat only Of partial values and
do not pretend to cover all the elements
OF value that could be the basis OF any
final determination by the commission. In
other words, the whole question Of val
Uation is an incomplete one at this
stage
The valuation figures Of the commits
sion show that the company Is capitalized
at S13o 900. or S3.00O,0o0 more than II
would cost to reproduce their plant and
equipment The commission holds that
the plant and equipment would be repro
duced for Ss,965,OsSos.
In accordance with a stated policy of
the commission. . public hearing will be
held in the board room OF the District
Building on June Is to enable the COM
pany or any other interested parties to
present evidence on the figures OF the
commission.

COMMERCIAL CLUB ACTIVE.

The Nezperce Commercial club Is
now on the job at all times, but
little more so at some times than at
others. Last Monday evening saw
another of the more so' occasions.
Some seventy of the towns boost
ers, and several of their ladies, as
sembled for supper ut the Nezperce
hotel and thereafter took hold of a
few problems looking toward the i'm
provement of conditions here. The
item given first consideration was
the Strengthening of that portion of
Little Canyon creek whose zigzag
course through the town brings on a
flood of greater or less menace to the
business section with each spring
thaw.
A general discussion of this condi-
ton resulted in a motion notifying
the city council that it was the de-
sire of the business men of Nezperce
that immediate steps be taken toward
the Strengthening Of the creek channel

A Strict Dramatic Censor.

Vienna once possessed the strictest
dramatic censor ever known in the
person of Franz Hoegelin. who held
that post la the Austrian capital at
the beginning of the last century.
Hoegelin published manual for the
guidance of censors. "a pair Of lovers
should never be allowed to appear on
the stage alone They must always
be accompanied by a third person of
mature years" Marriages out of ones
class were also strictly forbidden by
Hoegelin on the stage, and he quotes
an instance of a play which he re-
fused to pass because the author made
the hero, Count Valdemar. marry a
gardeners daughter. such misalli'
ances have unfortunately been known
to occur in real life, but that Is nc
reason why they should be allowed on
the stage" he said.

FARMERS DRAG ROADS TO

John Wasen and L. ii. Forth
started out from their farms east of
town Monday morning with their
r"au drags and got so interested i'm

knew they were dragging up the
center Of Main street in Cottonwood
ana their work proved so good that
'hey were made guests OF the COM
mercial club at luncheon. John after
ward stated that the roads out their
way were so good they could not
ma much that needed dragging and
50 came on to town where they could
nhu some real work to do Be this
as 1t may, the fact remains that the
continued dragging of the roads out
on the prairie is rapidly getting them
INTO fine condition and in many places
they are already in as fine shape as

the ground in the adjoining fields is
50 wet that spring work cannot be
started for several days yet. Road
dragging pays big dividends Even
the scoffers are coming to realize this
fact, and the drag alone is making
good roads in many places where the
grader and scraper are unknown.
There are several miles of road in
and around Cottonwood that will still
stand quite lot of dragging before
assuming the shape of boulevards.-
