1t was contended by Attorney General
Peterson at Thursdays meeting that
the warden was member of the board.
The governor stoutly opposed that
position and demanded to be shown the
law justifying such deduction,
The attorney general said today his
position with reference to the status
of the warden ran to the question of
his presence at board meetings rather
than to the question Of sale Of the
prison property at Gem.
FLAT DENIAL BY GOVERNOR.
When Governor Alexander's atten-
ton was called to a statement by War
den Shook that he had been given to
understand the governor had declared
during the campaign that the Gem farm
would not be continued, which deelar-
alton the warden used as justification
for his decision to sell off the prison
farm implements and livestock, the
governor said:
II want TO deny most emphatically
that l have ever said directly or by
intimation that l favored abandon
ment of that farm. and | challenge
anyone to produce anything from any
of my speeches showing that ! have
ever made such statement or intima-
ton. l have never entertained any
thought of abandoning that farm"
TO HANDICAP SUCCESSORS?
Information coming to the governors
office is that the foreman of the Gem
farm had stated that the livestock and
implements were to be sold in order to
prevent the incoming ADMINISTRATION
from reaping benefit from the opera
ton of the farm and to handicap it
insofar as possible with relation TO
prison management.

GENERAL TREVINo WOUNDED.
General Jacinto B. Trevino, COM
handing the Carranza forces, was
wounded during the fighting in the
early afternoon He personally d.
recting the fighting from the vicinity
of Santa Rosa hill.
General Trevino returned to the cit,
to have a scalp wound on the right
side of his head dressed at the mill
tary hospital. With bandage around
his head he returned from the hos
pital to field headquarters and con-
tinued the direction of the Carranza
forces on the firing line.
At 10 o'clock last night the military
authorities in Chihuahua City tele-
graphed to General Gonzales in Juare2
that General Carlos Ozuna, In com
mand of the Carranza cavalry, was
pursuing the Villa bandits south in
the direction of Mapula and the cav
airy column was reported to be 10
miles south of Santa Rosa.
WOUNDED TAKEN CARE OF.
No estimate of the number of killed
or wounded has yet been made. Relays
of workers were working last night
removing the wounded to the military
hospitals and private homes in Chi
huahua City where they are being
cared for by the women of the volun
teer Red Cross association.
General Trevino's repeated state
ments that he was short of small arms
and ammunition are now believed by
Carranza officials for strategic pur-
poses in order to deceive the enemy.
GARRISON WELL SUPPLIED.
When General Carranza offered Gen
eral Trevino all of the available am
munition and rifles from the Juarez
arsenal during a wire conference be-
tween the two generals, General Ire
vino informed the Juarez brigade COM
mander he was well supplied with
ammunition and arms and needed no
supplies of this kind from the border
General Gonzales announced.
Before receiving this information the
Juarez commander was making every
effort to command all the munitions
on the Mexican side of the border in
order to rush it to Ge.-eral Trevino
on special troop train. Orders for
this train were cancelled last night
after General Trevino announced he
had plentiful supply of ammunition
and other elements.

RIVAL CONCERNS
after BUSINESS
OF LONG VALLEY
Two Applications to Furnish

Now Before Public Utili-
ties Commission.

Lively rivalry for control of the cleo
trical field in the Long Valley coun-
try Is promised with the appearance
at the public utilities commission head
quarters Oh a letter from Walter c.
Clark, superintendent of the electrical
department of the Bunker Hill & Sui
Ivan company stating that he pro-
poses, on behalf of the Long Valley
Light e. Power company, to make APP
plication to the commission for a GER
tificate of convenience and necessity
to install a power plant a. his Cas-
cade power site and then construct q
distributing system to nearby towns
There is now before the commission,
and has been for some time applica-
ton made by ]. E. Goodwin for such
certificate. He has power site near
Lardo. The commission held a hear
ing on the application this morning
At that time Mr.. Clark may be permit
ted to intervene.
CLARK WRITES LETTER.
The Long Valley field offers an ex-
cellent opportunity for electrical de-
velopment 1t Is said by those familiar
with the territory. The towns of Dom
nelly, Roseberry, Airing, Van Wyck
and Cascade seek electrical service for
light and power purposes For some
time Mr.. Clark has had control of a
power site on the Payette river near
Cascade where he figures he can gen
crate sufficient power to supply cleo
trical energy to all of the Long VAL
ley country, Goodwin has a power site
mile and half below where the
north fork Of the Payette river flows
out of Payette lake near the town
of Lardo.
Apparently Clark was not aware of
the fact that there is a prior applica-
ton before the board for, in letter to
the commission, he says:
1T was our intention to do this
some time ago but just when we had
our fumes and bitches about complet-
ed for the diversion of the water the
Idaho Northern railroad construction
work completely destroyed all our
work. We expect in the spring to be-
gin the development Of these falls to
supply the inhabitants nearby with
power and light. VIII you please send
me the necessary forms for application
together with such information as you
think will need in the matter"
OFFERS FERTILE FIELD.
Goodwin states that he expects to
spend $4,000 for his plant and trans
mission lines and $4,000 for equippage.
No figures are given by Clark.
The Long Valley country Is said to
offer very fertile field for electric
power development. One fork of the
Payette river traverses the entire val
ley and there are some valuable power
sites located along that stream. At the
present time the towns in the valley
are without electricity. The inhabi-
tants in all of them desire 1t for light
and power purposes while installation
of power plant and distributing sys-
tenn will. 1t is said, do much toward
the development of industries there as
comparatively cheap power can be
supplied once the stream has been har-
messed.

ADVANTAGE OVER PORTLAND.

The Burns and tributary country
while having many large farms and
some irrigation is chiefly famous for
its stock. 1t is not an uncommon sight
to see $4,000 head gathered at one
point Thousands of head are shipped
annually to eastern markets. Since the
European war opened buyers for
France and England have spent thou
sands of dollars in this territory for
horses for use in connection with the
war.
Boise has an advantage over Port
land in the matter of freight rates into
the Burns country" said ]. Fl. Cakes
of Cakes & Co., wholesale grocers Of
Boise. Our firm and other whole
salers are sending much goods into the
Burns country and have been for years.
That entire territory is tributary to
Boise and every inducement should be
offered for its trade. There are many
rich valleys included within that ter
ritory, as Pea valley, Happy valley,
Harvey valley, Silver valley, Diamond
valley and others. There is no ques-
ton but what construction of a rail-
road from Crane to Burns would do
the country and trade"
The Falk Wholesale company, the
Northrop Hardware company, David
son Grocery company and other whole
sale houses are of the same opinion.
EXPENSIVE WORK DONE.
Recently the business men of On
tario. accompanied by a number from
Boise, made a trip over the Oregon
Eastern to Crane, They were deeply
impressed with the expensive character
of the railroad construction work. The
new section of the road they passed
over was an extension from Riverside
to Crane, distance of "a miles. From
Vale to Crane the Oregon Eastern
passes through a rough country but
taps some very rich valleys. This ac-
counts for the heavy character of the
construction work. From Crane west,
however, there is n flat level country.
On clear day Burns can be seen from
Crane. The Harvey lakes are but
seven miles distant The cost of con-
struction. therefore west from Crane,
for railroad. is said to be little conn
pared TO the cost per mile of building
the oregon Eastern west from Vale to
Crane.
For years prior to the building OF an
extension of the road from Riverside
to Crane freight had been hauled IS
miles by wagon out of Burns. That
city receives receives the big end of the
freight now at the Crane terminal.
