"California might as well learn now aa well

This Ktateiaer.t waa made during tbe day by
State Inspector J. . Stanaberry, wboae atten

they would' do w ith the prxiucta In thla state
If officials here dared to enforce existing law a
for the protection of faftn Industrie.
"I f5nd." said Mr. Stansberry, "that the

mot bitterly of the action of thla state In con
demning tuler moth stock, are really the worct
offendnra. In fact they have persistently sent
cars here without California state official' In
"I hve jast received word from the Oregon
state board of horticulture that hereafter no
ahlpmrnt of California potatoes will be al
lowed to enter the market ot thj Mate with

cause It enforcement means the protection of

So far the California official' state
ment that they would condemn all shipment
of Oregon apples with tiie slightest trace of

never aw a shipment of any produce that 1

Pocatello How Owns Its Water Plant.
Information was received today
by the I.iiiuiermeiis Trust company,
purchaser of the $400,000 water bonds
of the city of Pocatello, Idaho, that
the water plant owned by James A.
Murray has been purchased by the
city for $350,000. This disposes of a
long siege of litigation between' the
water company and the city over serv
ice, rates and franchises, and was mad
possible by the, purchase of the city's
bonds by the Lumbermens Trust corn
puny. The United States court of appeals,
sitting at Han Francisco, In a decision
'handed down some time ago, decided
that the company had forfeited lta
franchise. Tlie public utilities com
mission of IdHho at one time fixed
the valuation of the plant at $215,000.
The public utilities commission again
considered the valuation of the plant
and fixed the figure at $290,000. The
offer was refused. After farther
negotiation, a figure of $$60,000 was
agreed upon.
