| Idaho farmers held the floor Wed
nesday when the Idaho Power com
pany's petition for higher irrigation
pumping rates was given furthel
hearing before the state public util
ties commission IN Boise. Witnesses
heard during the day insisted that the
farmers case is every whit as import
ant as the case of the power company
because, if the farmer cannot pay the
increased charges and make a satls-
factory profit from his land there win
be no business on projects that require
pumping. Superintendent Harris of
the Gem district examined and cross
examined during the afternoon, gave
figures showing the approximate in
come of farmers on land to which the
water must be pumped. He declared
that a fair average annual income for
the farmers of such projects is $500,
to which may be added such susten-
ance as their vegetables, chickens and
other produces afford, but out of
which must be paid all other items #
board. Attorneys for the farmers will

and that of other witnesses of simi'c-
Kind, that the farmer cannot earn
living wage If the cost of punping
water to his land is increased 20 per
'ent- Many pumping projects require
% great a lift of water that, under the
proposed rates, the cost would be pro-
Iibitive.

is Derailed at Dam.

DR.. R. N. Cummings sustained a
broken rib and other bruises Monday
night when a railroad "speeder," upon
which he was returning from Horse
shoe Bend, struck rock and was de-
rallied.

because of the almost impossible
roads, secured passage on "speeder"
to Horseshoe Bend The speeder not
being provided with lights, the return
trip was made in darkness. Since the
up-trip, boulder had rolled off the
hills onto the track and when the
speeder hit it, the car was derailed.

fering severe pain he did not know the
extent of his injuries until he reached
home, and drove his motor car from
Montour that night.
