The deficiency Judgment of $l,412,Sl+',
is against the old company and is with
out force as the new company has taken
all the property the old company was
possessed Of The Stockholders of the
old company are all interested in the re-
organized company. Eugene Carroll as
trustee for the new company has during
the past year constructed the Big Hole
plant and the two systems VIII now be
merged into one. Mr. Perkins says THAT
there will be no change in the conduct OF
the company and there will be no ma
terial change in the personnel Of the loca!
offices.
In reviewing the matter Attorney
Forbis, local counsel for the company
says that the old company was broke
by prosperity In the beginning the
company started in the construction or
a plant for probably 10000 people and be
fore the work was finished the town had
grown beyond that limit. The company
then commenced the construction of a
system for 5000 bur by the time ii was
completed it was not large enough 10
supply the town. 1t was the constant
expenditure for construction that Kept
the company broke. The bondholders
seeing the condition concluded 10
re-organize and put in plant that
would do for all time and the Big Hole
system was the result
Little or no construction has taken
place in the city during the past two

THE RIDGES TESTIMONIAL.


IT HE PROPOSAL made in The
Herald of yesterday to give a tes-
timonial to Joseph H. Ridges. the
builder of the great tabernacle organ,
while it has not yet taken any definite
shape. is meeting with approval on all
sides. Already several prominent
musicians and musical organizations
have expressed not only Willingness.
but a giadness to do all in their power
TO make such an affair d success. and
delegation Will wait upon the officials
of the church to ask the use of the
tabernacle. Such d testimonial is more
that due Mr. Ridges, and now that
President Angus NJ Cannons feIici-
tous introduction has awakened the
general public to the fact that the
builder of the organ is and has been
living here in modest retirement ever
since the great instrument was com
pleted there is no doubt that it will be
forthcoming His genius deserves this
long withheld reward and the testi-
mOnial should be of such a character
as TO inspire others to similar ennobling
works.
