New Power Plant.

It has been definitely decided to
put in the large power plant on the
town side of the river, which has
been talked of so long. About a
dozen men are now at work with a
small night shift and as soon as
as machinery can be brought
in, a large force will be put on
night and day and the concrete
work pushed to completion before
cold weather sets in.-American

Mrs. Adalena Aiehenberger, wife
of Jacob Aicheuberger, Sr., after
protracted illness of year past,

steadily declining, passed peace
fully away last Saturday night at

More than 80 years ago Mrs. Alch-
enberger, with her husband, came
to Idaho from Switzerland, her
birthplace, and selected Middleton
for home, which has since been
retained. For miles around she
was we'll known and, as well as in
this community, was greatly be-
loved. Funeral services took place
at the home Monday at II o'clock
q m. At her own request Rev.

funeral sermon, in which many
sympathetic and comforting words
were addressed to the mourning
husband and children. The be-
reaved ones are Jacob Alchenberger,
Jacob, Anna. Lillian, Mrs. Mary.
Meth and Mrs. Lucy March. The
entire community extends sincerest
sympathy to those who mourn her
loss. 7@~.s#

was enthusiastically reelected with
out dissenting voice.

Business Men
Favor City Hall

The Business Mems Association
had meeting Thursday night. 1t
marked year of the associations
activities. The secretary's annual
report was submitted and indicated
the many substantial accomplish
ments of the association since its
organization. One feature of the
report, however. bares striking
resemblance to a country newspa-
per's subscription list, insomuch
that delinquencies were painfully
conspicuous. Out of a membership
Of nearly forty, less than half had

he was laughed to shame. Busi-

to the member from the country
that it would be a nice thing to
publish the annual report of the
a'sociation, so that the people could
know aulhoritatively its achieve
ments. There did not seem to be
anything that the ass ociation need

quencies, and modesty would have

The Wasp as a Hunter.

When summer warmth has awaken
ed the maternal instinct of the insect
world the mud dauber wasp may be
seen gathering mortar at the margin of
stream, pool or puddle Filling
both spade and bod, she
bears the load of mud to some
rough surface, rock or wall or board or
beam. She spreads and shapes her
mortar, until, after many visits to
the mud bed, she has built a tubular
cell about an inch long and three
eighths of an inch wide
Then her huntress instinct awakens
and her raids upon the spider realm

In course of time, says writer in
Harper's Magazine, this will hatch
into a ravenous larva, whose natural
food is living spiders; and these the
mother proceeds TO capture and en-
tomb within her mud daub nursery
On this errand she may be seen hawk
ing over and near cobwebs of various
sorts, venturing within the meshed
and beaded snares that prove fatal to
most incomers and sometimes even to
prey, sallies forth to seize the intrud-
er. it finds itself a captive, not a
captor. The wasp shakes the silken
flament from wings and feet, turns
upon the spider, seizes and stings it,
bears it to her cell and thrusts it
therein.

Land surface at the disposal of this
church, as is the case in most large
cities, is comparatively small. The
only thing to do is to go up in the air.
Business enterprise has found this
necessary for some years. There is
little wonder that big downtown

tional work, find it necessary to erect
sky-scrapers in order to provide &C
commodations for the many branches
undertaken.
The Rev. DIR. Eaton, to whom Mr..
Rockefeller has intrusted the working
out of plans for the big church, is re-
markable in more respects than one.
He is a forceful speaker, an orator of
unusual eloquence, a leader and adj
ministrator of surprising ability. The

would be 81 more a month thereafter.

Our Friend the Robin.

1t is very easy to begin the tanning
process with the robin, for the young
birds, when they first leave the nest,
are glad enough to pick up few
crumbs, not having yet trained their
eyes to the constant search for in
sects. They are then easily induced
to come near the human" who pro-
vides them, and with a little quiet
perseverance will soon take the food
from the hand
But the father bird has to be reck-
oned with, and even the mother bird
in autumn will drive her youngsters
out of the garden, if possible, to in
sure their finding a domain of their
own before the winter.
Her mate is apt to appear in his
wrath when the young robins are
fully fedged-having left the nest for
a week-and scatter them all, includ-
ing the mother, with beak and claws.
He does not approve of any spelling
of the children, and insists upon their
spreading themselves separately over
the country, in order that they may
learn at once to earn their own main
tenance. Probably he is right, for ev-
cry robin has it's own 100 yards or so
of garden or wood in winter time, and
woe betfde any newcomer which ven
lures on another's ground.
This is a doubly wise provision of
Nature to insure food for each robin.
and also the destruction of insects all
over the land.

Bound for distant strand
And take that dear, delightful trip
To old vacation land.
This land has flowers and trees of gold
And golden is each pool;

From the dull land of school
There is no country half so bright,
No climate half so grand.
And every heart is blithe and light
In dear vacation land.
So here's godspeed to each wee friend
From us who cannot go;
May pleasure at your sides attend
And left behind be woe.
And may strong and sun-tanned pack,
A stanch and sturdy band,
In autumn days come trooping back
From old vacation land.
