VALUE OF IDAHO POWER j
COMPANY FIXED BY ORDER

Continued from page One)
held that the company took this
business with its eyes open, knowing
that this class of users could not
stand full charge for power and
That, having invested money, years
and labor in their farms, they could
not now be cut off from their water
supply Just because 1t did not pay.
The commission said that 1t would
be morally wrong to make the
irrigation people pay rates that
would put them out of business,
and unfair to make other power pa
irons pay for their service, where
fore the power company itself must
bear the burden by earning only
partial return on such property as
1t has invested in this business.
One ruling of the commission
which attorneys believe may have
far-reaching effects had to do with
the use of depreciation reserve.
II was set forth that the power COM
pany had collected $4,000 from its
ratepayers as depreciation reserve
to replace wornout property. but had
instead invested II I'm new property,
which 1t had listed in its inventory
On the ground that the company is
not entitled TO return from proper
ty for which the people have put up
fha toa
amount out of the valuation.
The commissions opinion finds
little fault with the power COM
pany's inventory of physical proper
ty. It compliments those who pre-
pared it in this language;
The inventory made and filed
by the Idaho Power company
lists every item of its property
and rights that could be found.
The work appears to have been
carefully done, as close checks
made by the engineering depart
ment of the commission dis
closed. Some errors have
crept in, but In view of the
magnitude OF the work, the
number is less than might reas-
ably be expected. and We be-
lieve the effect TO be negligible.
The terse and formal order OF the
commission. which accompanies |
the opinion. sets Monday. January |
22. as the date for the opening OF
the hearings upon rates, to be based |
upon the new valuation. II follows;
,''It Is therefore ordered
A ~. That the san OF Sll,6SS.-

GIRLS CLUB MEMBERS
ENJOY CHRISTMAS PARTY

The Christmas party given for the
Girls club at the home of Mrs. C. r.
Emison was very we'll planned and
greatly enjoyed by about thirty mem
bers. The house was beautifully de-
corated in Christmas greens includ-
ing Christmas tree an everything.
One of the features of the eve
ming was the singing of Christmas
carols by concealed singers whose
identity caused lively speculation
among the guests until the quartette
was brought into the room and
proved to be some of the High
school Glee club members, Ethel
Conway, Ruth Roberts, Orville Sc
ward, and William Wiseman. The
singing was real treat,
Santa left gifts for each one pres
ent with appropriate sentiments in
verse Cor otherwise) and after re-
freshments they all left with kindly
feelings toward the two committees
who had planned and carried out a
very successful party.
There will be no meetings during
the holidays and January 9th will
start the New Year with a party at
the home of Mrs. Dalton Biggs.

OREGON EXPORTS CASH FOR
CORN IT COULD GROW

quirement for the crop is quite low.
Another great advantage of the
corn crop is that it leaves the land
in excellent condition for fall seed
ing to grain or some other crop.
A still further advantage is that
the harvest period is after the hay
harvest on the irrigated projects is
complete, and this extends the labor
period through a longer time, dis
tributing II to better advantage.
Storage Easy
The storage and handling equip
ment for corn is usually not pro-
hibitive in price, The corn, after
husking may be dried successfully
in Slated corn cribs, or it may in
many instances be stored in tenn
porary cribs made of woven wire or
fence rails and covered with bundles
of corn fodder.
The storage ON the ear is usually
just long enough to get it fairly
dried out. after which 1t is shelled
and ready for shipment,
The shelling and cleaning equip
ment is not prohibitive in price. and
the are many districts in the corn
belt that have itinerant shelters that
move from farm to farm and shell
the corn at the production point.
More Corn-Less Coal
Several of the corn growing dis
tricts of Oregon are districts OF ex-
treme fuel shortage, so that corn
cobs will make very valuable by
product for fuel purposes. In ad-
dition TO the possibility of growing

enough corn to meet the northwest
ern demand by shelling and ship
ping the grain, the corn crop is one
of the best things for fattening
stock. 1t may be made the basis of
a very large hog finishing industry
