Porter, of Kldnrn, Idaho, a member of the contracting firm of Monarch & Porter, which Is operating on the government work at Minidoka, Ik a guest of the Idanhn, and reports that progress is such on the work that a large number of additional men und teams seems iibsnluli ly imperative at this time, says the Ilolse Statesman. His firm, he states, Is now working some 200 men and u like number ot teams nro desired. Mr. Porter's firm has one of the largest, If not the largest contract for the removul of dirt In all the Minido ka contracts, Involving as It does the handling of about 2,000,000 cubic yards of soil from the bed of the big canal being constructed under gov ernment iiusplees. Fortunately there ts little or no rock work Included In this contract, nnd good progress Is an ticipated us soon wet weather comes. All the contractors, Mr. Porter says, are making rather poor progress, and are really behind Ihe percentages es timated by the engineers. Hubbard Sl Carlson, of this ty, who hNsc one of the big contracts, are perhaps bet ter along In proportion to the time than any of the others. This fact Mr. Porter attributes to the fact they were the cuse und that he would take the matter under consideration and glve!H)e to get to work Immediately up It his personal attention. He ulso( the letting of tho contract while stated that he knew of no reason why such discriminations existed hut could not pass upon the matter until he had the others were compelled to move to Idaho sometimes from the far east.
