er will permit work on the build

intention to have all work COM
pleted and the creamery ready
for operation by about the middle
of July. Mr.. Drake is in charge
of the construction work for the

ment.

Told in Short Items by our
Correspondent.

- - kSOAAA~AAeet tfgs,
Boise, May oath. The public
utilities commission has under
consideration a number of mat
ters that are regarded as of gen.
eral Importance. One Of :these,
which has been submitted by the
Rochedale companies of the Cam
as and Nez Perce prairie coun-
tries in Lewis and Idaho counties,
has to do with the rates of ship
ping from Grangeyille and inter-
vening points to Lewiston by the
Canas Prairie Railroad Company,
and which are said to be exorbi-
tant. AS the railroad is not al
together contained in Idaho, ex-
tending down Snake river from
Lewiston to Riparia in the state
Of Washington, the matter of
rates will have to be brought be-
fore the Interstate Commerce
Commission. Steps to bring this
about are now being taken.
Another complaint of some i'm
portance that is now being con-
sidered by the commission is that
of the Boise valley fruit growing
and livestock interests, and takes
the form of a joint charge against
the Boise Valley Traction Com
pany and the Oregon Short Line.
The complaint charges that while
there are local rates fixed on the
traction company line, but no
through rates for both the trac-
tion and rail lines have been Sc
cured. The utilities commission
is asked to compel the giving of
such rates, as it is only in this
way that shipments can be made
with single bills of lading.
The Oregon Short Line rail-
road company has been granted
permission by the utilities COM
mission to put into effect a rate
of 20 cents per hundredweight on
seed peas in carload lots from
Idaho Falls to Moore, Idaho. 1t
is claimed that the ground has
been prepared in large amount
at the latter place for seeding to
peas. The production of seed
peas in Idaho has grown to enor-
nous proportions. In the vicin-
ity of st. Anthony it is reported
that garden peas for seed pur-
poses are grown on something
like 10000 acres of land, and
that probably 5000 acres in 9TH
er portions of the state will be
used for that purpose this year.
The claim is made that Idaho is
now producing the principal pea
seed crop in the United States.
At a meeting of the state land
board the report of the state en-
gineer with reference to the
work necessary to the completion
of the Twin Falls North Side Ir-
rigation project by January 1,
1918, was received and approved.
1t is understood that the bond
holders of the original company
are arranging to provide the nee
essary funds for the doing of
this work with the idea that once
the system is completed it will
be accepted by the state, and
turned over to the holding or set
tiers company for operation.
At the state fair in Boise this
fall, the governors of Washing
ton. Oregon, Utah, Wyoming and
Colorado are to be guests of the
capital city, according to letters
of acceptance that have just been
received. The management of
the state fair is arranging for
what is to be called a Governors
Day, when a ssecial program will
be arranged in honor of the dis
tinguished visitors.
