New Bill Protects
All Idaho Forests

A bill has been submitted to- the
Idaho congressional delegation by
the executive committee and agri-
cultural council of the Benewah
county farm bureau, which IL it
should become law, would give the
federal government authority to take
over by purchase or exchange non
agricultural lands in the counties of
Shoshone, Kootenai, Benewah and
Clearwater, adjoining the Occur
d'Alene, St.. Joe and Clearwater ma
tional forests. This land would be
taken over FOR forestry purposes.
The action is being sought by the
Benewah farmers to facilitate pro-
posed cooperation with the United
States forestry service looking to the
sale of the body of timber owned by
the settlers in Hangman creek basin,
and at the sametime to aid the fed
eral policy of extending conservation
to all absolute forest lands. The
bill has the sanction of the United
States forest service and the depart
ment Of agriculture and is felt by
those Interested to be of great i'm
portance in safeguarding these
forested mountain lands.

Boosts Municipal
Lighting Plant

T. NJ. Callahan of Longmont, Colo,
one of the partners in the Golden
Rule store at Blackfoot, has been
reading The Idaho Republican for
a long time, and observes that its
editor is not of the opinion that a
municipal lighting plant at Black
foot would be profitable venture.
He says that while we are planning
for water system We might better
consider lighting systems too, and
states that the town of Longmont
has been thru all our needs and
doubts and fears, and some ten years
ago conducted water down from the
mountains several miles away for a
municipal water supply. They had
static head of Ats at convenient
place above the town and installed
electric generators to supply current
for the town for all purposes.
After a number of years operation
they find that the power plant is sup
plying electrical energy little
cheaper than the corporation rate
and the profits are paying off some
Rof the Indebtedness of the city aside
from the debts of the power plant
itself. Mr.. Callahan expresses the
hope that Blackfoot will look into
the matter carefully and be open to
conviction and to undertaking some
thing for city lights and city water
If it appears feasible which he hopes
it will.
Mr.. Callahan sent the annual finan-
.cial statement Of the power plant for
the year ending March 81, 1914,
which shows a profit, and light sell
ing at trifle less than per cent per
kilowat. He does not say whether
It has been necessary to raise the
rates during the war, but he advises
that If anyone at Blackfoot wishes
later data than that contained in the
y14 report he will be glad to secure
it for them.
The 1914 report is in the hands of
Alex Younie and will be returned to
Mr. Callahan.
