Arrowrock Dam provides salvation for crops in Boise valley
Water storage in Arrowrock dam saves crops in the Boise valley as government water delivers about 500 second feet to the Boise river, supporting farmers in Belge valley and southwestern Idaho. Watermaster Tallman notes one third of river flow comes from storage water now allocated to Settlers, Phyllis, Farmers Union, Farmers Cooperative and Caldwell Highline canals, preventing a total dry-up and protecting fruit and alfalfa crops. The situation marks a historic water shortage but storage enables continued irrigation and usage efficiency.

Ogden Gateway Case details and Union Pacific route ruling
In the Interstate Commerce Commission decision on the Ogden Gateway Case the Union Pacific contends it may discontinue the Cedon interchange with the D and RG for passenger traffic to and from Denver and the Oregon Short Line. The D and RG argues the long standing rates should stay and notes large expenditures by the Union Pacific in Idaho Oregon Short Line territory. Commissioner Harlan cites the shorter mileage and faster travel from Omaha to Ogden, arguing the Denver and Rio Grande route is longer by hundreds of miles and hours. A sales notice follows: Span of young mares weight 2400 with heavy harness and wagons, contact phone 110-8.
