Hogsett, Jesse Snodgrass was a long- <br />time member of the District Board and was recently defeated for <br />reelection by Tom Cooper, a cattle feeder. The District Board the <br />elected Snodgrass to the Company Board. Two years ago, Reuben <br />Peif was elected to replace a long-time member of the District <br />Board, Dab Platt. Only 8 votes were cast at that election. Peif <br />and Cooper favor the Narrows Dam, whereas Platt and Snodgrass are <br />opposed.
