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.
