Block Hollister power plant suit at Shoshone Falls escalates
A flurry of legal action sees W A Clark U S Senator and Nebraskans filing in Idaho against Hollister's condemnation of school land at Shoshone Falls. The petition argues district court lacks jurisdiction and Idaho has no stake, while Hollister presses a tunnel project to divert Snake River water for power and rail use. Local mining interests back Hollister amid broader county concerns.
