CABLE FERRY IS UTILITY
Public Service Commission Holds that
Primitive Boat is Common Carrier

OOAsssssOAe
By a recent ruling of the public
service commission, the old fashioned
cable ferry, such as is encountered
most commonly along the Columbia
and Snake rivers, becomes a public
utility and subject to regulation as
such. The case came up on complaint
of the town of Brewster, WASH, OF
excessive rates charged on the Column
bia ferry between Douglas and Okan-
ogan counties. The commissions rul-
ing does not hold the ferry return on
the investment unreasonable. but free
and easy methods Of doing business
are condemned. The ferry is directed
to discontinue free. services and to fix
schedule of charges that will include
! passengers in autos and other vehicles
aside from the driver, with reduction
ordered in present rates that will
equal or approximate the increase OF
revenue resulting from the collection
of fares from passengers. In Other
words the ferry cable goes onto the
same basis as the steamship line with
in the jurisdiction Of the public ser
vice commission.

Right SHOWING
UP IN ORCHARDS
Orchardists Find it Impossible
to Relax Vigilance Powell
is Not Alarmed

Local orchardists are becoming not
a little exercised because of the per-
sistency of fire blight in showing up
in the orchards in spite of the eternal
vigilance whoch has been exercised,
Especially in the young Jonathan or
chards on the Highlands are blight in
dications said to be numerous. Or
chards from which it was thought
blight had been entirely eradicated,
are beginning to show symptoms In
the new growth.
In response to the alarm sounded by
local farmers, District Horticultural
Inspector Luke Powell has spent the
week inspecting local orchards. When
seen at his hotel last night he said ne
had found conditions not nearly as bad
as last year at this time. He is OF
the opinion that if the orchardists viii
continue to watch closely and act
quickly there will be no difficulty II
controlling the blight.

sons in blight CONTROL" said Mr.. Pow

.HANFORD CASE is
TAKEN TO COURT
Consumers Ditch Company Asks
for Injunction Against the
Public Service Commission

Attorney M. M. Moulton, Of this
city, who with Lon Boyle, Of Prosser,
the Hanford waterusers
in the action brought before the pub
lie service commission to secure re-
duction in charges for irrigation water
has been notified that the case has
been taken to federal court by the
Consumers Ditch company.
The company, thru its attorney, Ell
mer E. Todd, of Seattle, has asked for
an injunction against the enforcement
of the commissions order made last
month and such other relief as the
court in equity may grant, including
the costs of the present action.
The Consumers Ditch company is
one of three corporation formed to
take over the interests of the Hanford
Irrigation & Power company, after the
property was bought at the receivers
sale by Henry T. Lyons, April IA, 1915
for $3S6,OOO. This company took over
the ditch and irrigation contracts. In
operating for the season OF 1915, 1t
fixed a charge of 81 per acre for OPP
Grafton and maintenance. The origin
nal contracts called for $3.50 an acre
till May 1, 1918. Later the court fixed
a rate of 81 an acre under the receiver
ship.
Waterusers File Complaint
On August 10, 1915, 80 of the 25O
waterusers under the project Joined in
complaint to the Public Service COM
mission, saying the rate of 81 per acre
was excessive. The commission began
hearings on this case September 20
1915, and on December 81, 1915, the
commission began a valuation ano
took testimony on both cases jointly
The commission reached decision OF
April 25, 1916.
This decision fixes the value of thu
ditch at 100000 and fixes the watel
rate for the 1916 season at $3.50 PEE
acre for so acre inches, and 10 cent
per inch for the water used in exces
of this amount. 1t is claimed that OF
some of this land from 48 to "a inche
is needed for the irrigation season.
The Consumers Ditch company i
the present action is complaining tina
the orders of the public service com
mission and its findings are unrea
sonable and unlawful, amounting t
confiscation. The plaintiff seeks t
restrain the commission from putin
the orders in force, and asks that tn
members jointly and severally be rt
strained now and hereafter from al
Stunning to take jurisdiction over til
property of the plaintiff.

In offering the second anniversary
Of this institution TO the people of
Idaho, we believe the elimination of
months of efforts will prove the best
balanced event of its kind since the
inception of state fairs in Idaho.
Educational features have been
planned and prepared, in cooperation
with state and government agency,
that will reflect the splendid agricul-
tural and live stock progress of the
greater prosperity.
Amusement features surprising
previous efforts, and remarkable for
their variety and wholesomeness, have
been procured The Great Workman
Shows the entire week. Five full days
of recreation. entertainment, and in
spiration await visitors in a fuller
measure than ever before. A cordial
invitation is extended to you to visit
the magnificent exhibits of agricul-
ture, live stock, mineral and horticul-
tural products of Idaho, that the ma
tural resources of this great state
may be realized and appreciated.
Every farmer should be interested
in the success of his county fair as
well as the state fair. The farmer
who exhibits the best of his products
demonstrates to the commonwealth
what can be produced in his particular
locality If you have produced any
thing good during the year of 1916
bring it to the Fair September 26th
to 30th. Bring something to show
to improve farm products, live stock,
and poultry. Encourage the boys and
girls to exhibit something each year.
1t will create an incentive for better
things along agricultural lines. The
housewife should exhibit preserves,
pies, cakes, bread needlework, and
the best of anything and everything
made or grown.
Exhibits at the Fair appeal direct
ly to the people actually engaged in
an industry upon which
rests all other lines of trade. We
need your patronage and honestly
believe we can give you more than
your moneys worth.

other one man is given the credit for
having made the dry farming section
about American Fails the greatest
grain producing region in the state
if one is to judge from the amount
of grain yearly shipped from that
point. A friend Of Mr.. Davis's who
was in the city last week, talking by
the way in which the primary vote
was cast and abiding particularly
to the vote given Mr. Davis in his own
county, where he received about nine
tenths of the Republican votes, stat
ed that this had been brought about
almost solely through the fact that
every man in Power coun-
ty was a personal friend of that gen
tleman and that at the November
election it would be safe wager that
he would receive not only every Re
vote but fully half the Dem
ocratic votes of the county. This |
attitude of the public mind, the gen
tleman stated, had been brought
about through Mr.. Davis's constant
course Of helpfulness to every honest
,ndeayor in the county. He has taken
IN his shoulders the troubles of other
PEOPLE and no one has appealed to
lin in vain for advice or assistance.
rhe devotedness Of his friends TO his
has become a proverb in
hat section of the state. In the
minds of these people he is unbeat-
bile.
