THOUSAND TONS
OF COAL ON FIRE

Huntington Coal Sheds-Big
Gang Men Fight Flames
Col. R. W. Purdum spent several
days last week above Horseshoe Bend
with the engineers who were making
surveys for the E. P. Bonnell power
site, says the Nampa Record. The
work was completed and Col. Purdum
was greatly pleased to find they had
seven feet more fall than they had
counted on. Their proposed 26-foot
dam will back the water up two miles
and eight-tenths, giving a water sur
face of 112J acres. This will make
quite a pretty lake that will be full
of trout and will become a great re
sort for feathered game.
The 67-foot fall under the new sur
vey will add 1100 horse power to the
capacity of the plant that at the
standard price of $150 per horse pow
er will add $165,000 to the value of
the power plant.
Col. Purdum said he was not able to
send the desired data to the bond peo
ple and to officers of the irrigation
district. He is confident of being
able to put in one of the best power
plants on the river and of furnishing
water in abundance to the 30,000
acres of land comprised in the Nyssa
district some time next season.

ALFALFA WEEVIL
ALARM RANCHERS
An alarm is sounded to farmers of this
section on the deadly alfalfa weevil,
which during the last few years has
dektroyed alfalfa crops in Utah, a
portion of Idaho and Wyoming, and
other Western atates, amounting to
several million dollars. Owing to
the fact that Malheur county is a rich
alfalfa producing country, great pre
caution should be taken to guard
against the entrance of this pest into
this belt.
It is believed by experts that the
weevil is spread through shipping
more than in any other manner. After
co operating with the state authorities
in an effort to exterminate the weevil
the Government baa imported natural
insect enemies of the same, from
Southern Europe countries, the home
of the loathsome bug. It is thought
that the weevil was brought Into Utah
where It first made Its appearance by
migrants from Southern Europe,
scrtd possibly In bss and various
kinds of baggage.
