General Manager P. P. SHELBY the
other day elucidated to Signal re-
porter plan he is perfecting which,
if carried out, will be of great benefit
to the varied interests of Weiser.
Twenty-six miles from Weiser, in
the Weiser canyon, Mr.. Shelby has
located site for large electrical
plant. There is sharp bend in
the river and considerable fall,
and his idea is to cut through
the point of land, turning the
channel, or part of it at least
which will give an ideal water power
to run dynamos sufficient to furnish
2000-horse power, though for The
present but 200-horse power facilitie.

Mr.. Shelby states that he is nov
having plans Tor the plant prepared,
and that work may be commenced
early next winter. He states that b,
has his own capital to put into th'
enterprise.
The power thus secured will b'
transmitted by wire to Weiser for any
and all manufacturing purposes. HI
is also investigating the possibilitie.
of operating pumping plants OF
Snake river to water the fertile Deat
Ok Flat on the Oregon side, ant
other tracts of bench land. z The in
stalling of such q plant would natur
ally cause many kinds of small fac
tories to spring up here and it is u
be hoped the gratifying purpose vii
be carried out.

The following from the columns of a
contemporary is worthy OF careful
consideration by the business men OF
our city: Human nature is the same
in farmer that it is in anyone else
with, perhaps, little more OF the real
human nature and less of the artificial.
On that account the farmer will al
ways trade with those who trouble
themselves the most to help him in the
disposition OF his own agricultural pro-
ducts. The city which, by the yari-
Gus business ways Of the present time,
goes down to the farm and helps pre-
pare the conditions by which that farm
will yield better profits is the city
which will win that sections favor
That is why some regions have at
tached themselves to a totally alien
city. Discerning business men have
long since learned that the best way to
win the good will of the farmer is to
lock hands with him and help him In
the problem OF deveoping his affairs"

LAKE ODESSA HAS A LAW SUIT.

Cheap" board sidewalks are In the
long run the most expensive that can
be put down. Many town has learned
the lesson to their sorrow. Good CO.
ment or stone walks cause a larger
outlay to commence with but they are
the cheapest in the long run for the in
dividual and save the city or village
from damage suits on account OF de-
fective walks.
In quite a number OF towns no other
kind is now permitted and excellent
results are being obtained. Will our
citizens learn by the experience OF
others or must we, too, have a similar
lesson before we can acquire wisdom.
Lake Odessa is the latest to have
quite good sized damage suit on her
hands, action having been commenced
in the circuit court by Anna Koch,
through her attorneys, Geo. Il. and M.
A. Nichols, against that village for
IS, 600 damages for injury received on
Dec. %, 1899 1t is alleged that on that
date complainant caught her right
foot and fell on a defective sidewalk at
the corner OF Upper Lake street and
Fourth avenue, and received broken
leg, from which permanent injury was
sustained, she never having fully re-
covered. The case will be on the fall
calendar of the circuit court.
