DA1I0 HURTS CROPS Fbone Broadway Z80 Negotiations Opened for Ex tended Irrigation Service. aRAIN HARVEST. IS BEGUN 8 Xccd for More Storage Reservoirs to Conserve Flood Waters in All Parts of State Imperative. BOISE, Idaho. July 26. (Special.) The Idaho Power company, which for some years has been in, control of the southern Idaho electric field with head quarters in Boise, having consolidated many of the operating companies in that territory, may connect its eastern and western lines in this state. The project of coupling the Utah Power & Light, company's lines with those of the Idaho Power company in the east ern part of the state has been under consideration for some time. The con struction of a line between American falls and Shoshone falls would be nec essary. It is proposed also to install a 6000-horse-power plant at Thousands springs to add to the generating ability of the Idaho Power company. The company has just completed work on a new unit of 4000 horse power at the lower Sal mon falls plant in southern Idaho. Completion of this plant would relieve the shortage of power for irrigation .pumps elevating water to lands in va rious irrigation projects. Water Needed for Crops. The continued drouth in this state, especially in southern Idaho, has short ened the crops. For more than 100 days there has been no rain and no re lief is forecast by the weather bureau. The temperature has ranged daily be tween 85 and 100 degrees and at one time went to 104. Fortunately the nights are cool. The larger irrigation system has kept the water for crops fairiy distributed, eliminating the possibility of heavy loss. Grain is now being harvested, releasing a large amount of ground from need for water. The drouth has convinced Idahoans of the importance of providing additional storage reser voirs to conserve the flood waters of streams in all parts of Idaho. If this is done danger from lack of water for crops will not reappear. Higher Rates Not to Stand. The public utilities commission of Idaho is puzzled by the status in which telephone companies operating in Idaho will find themselves after July 31, when they pass out of government con trol. While under government con trol they were allowed to raise their rates. The companies are applying to the commission for continuance of the higher rates. It was announced defin itely by the commission that no- rates which have not been authorized by it in this state will be premitted to stand. In order to prevent a double examina tion and trouble for the ope'rating tele phone companies, "it has been . decided to wait until- the. financial reports of these companies are submitted for con Kideration by the state board of equal ization in August. ', neimbaraement Is Ordered. In one of te most important irriga tion cases that has been before the fed eral court in the Idaho jurisdiction, en titled the Payette-Boise Water Users' association' versus IX W. Cole, manager of the project for the reclamation serv ice, involving the cost and maintenance charges for the project, the largest of its "kind in the world. Judge Frank S. Dietrich held that the water users as sociation must reimburse the reclama tion service in full for moneys actually spent infbuilding the Arrowrock dam, the highest for any irrigation project, and the distributing system on the project. While making the settlers responsi ble for the actual construction costs of the project. Judge Dietrich found in their -favor on several other points in the controversy which has been in progress between them and the recla mation service for a number of years.
