Ice Makes Trouble.

The eletcric light and power line
is still having trouble at the plant up
the river. Ice in the ditch is the
cause of it. Last night the street
lights were on all night and power
was furnished after 10 o'clock.
The company is doing everything in
its power to overcome the difficulty
and hopes to return to its usual SER
vice in few days.

A meeting of the homestesders
under the proposed Black Canyon
Irrigation district was held Mon
day afterno on in the Commercial
Club rooms for the purpose of
interesting the settlers OF the En-
nett district in the proposition.
The organization of this district was
begun last summer and the district
divided into 10 sub-districts. The
Emmett division is known as No.
9. c. D. Tillinghast is the repre-
sentative. In order to defray the
expenses of the survey. incorpor-
alton of the association and neces-
sary office work, two assessments of
10 cents rer acre each have been
levied since the preliminary meet
ing. Few of the homesteaders of
this sub-district have paid the as
sessment, on account of their not
understanding the purposes of the
organization. The meeting Monday
night was held for the purpose
of enlightening the Emmett people
and enlisting their support.
c w. Snyder, w, S. Hawkes.,
A. 7. Graves and H. A. Grubb of
Caldwell were the missionaries.
An organization was effected by
electing DR.. Barnes, chairman and
c. D. Tillinghast secretary. The
purposes and plans of the Black
Canyon district were explained in
detail, and in brief are as follows:
The plan is to take the ditch from |
the Payette river two miles above |
Horseshoe Bend by low diversion
dam. This is to be a gravity system
throughout. The ditch follows down |
the Payette river for about three
miles, then crosses the river to the
south by means of a flume and then
follows down the south side of the
river to the Black Canyon dam site.
At this place the height attained is
Is feet above the old government
From here the survey follows
The north hill slope to the tunnel
site which is just east of where the
IDAHO Northern crosses the divide.
At this place tunnel is to be con-
'tructed 5000 feet in length.
From the south end of the tunnel

yround that is at present covered by

HALEY Comet in Sight

The much heralded comet was
seen for the first time last evening
between Z and 8 o'clock in the west
ern sky near the horizon, with its
long tail straight up. According to
astronomers it is travelling at the
rate of 120 miles second nearly as
fast as Henry Cookies Susie travels
when she is feeling peart, and neck
and neck with ice Helfert when he
takes his mornings morning-and
will disappear the last of the month.
when it will be 16 million miles away.
1t may also be seen in the morning
at about 5 o'clock in the eastern sky,
but we cannot vouch for this from
personal experience.
The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1910-01-27

Some people may wonder, as they
gaze up at the sky these winter
evenings, just where the famous
HALEY comet is located. At Z p. m.
it now occupies about the same po-
siticn that the sun would at 3 o'clock
on summer day. 1t is travelling
steadily westward and on March "a
will be on the opposite side of the
sun from the earth and fifty million
miles further away from US than it
is now. A few days after that date
it will rise in the eastern sky before
dawn and for the first time will be-
come visible to the naked-eye OBJ
server. 1t will rapidly increase in
brilliancy as it approaches the earth.
For few days before and after May
18 it will be lost to view in the suns
rays. On the night of May Is it will
psss between the earth and the sun,
the earth passing through portion
of the comets tail. For a short
time after this period the comet will
reach its greatest splendor in the
evening sky and will then fade away
as it recedes into space for another
absence of seventy-fve years. This
is CLEANED from the
American and may be re-
lied upon as being correct.

nembe that the average father has
only a $500 a year income.
at FIRST glance 1t would seem that
the community got a great bargain In
obtaining a $4,000 product for. say,.
even $3.50 a year for twenty years-a
total OF $1,000. But the cost borne by

II spent on the modern child's up

be found available for almost every
seasonable material. Fine woods are
exceedingly light in weight, and
everything that can be pleated sue
cessfully is appropriate. Made in

In this instance the material is plaid

the waist is equally well adapted to

the full sleeves are not liked plain

waist is well suited to the entire

When made at the back it is designed
to be invisible, when made at the
front it can be effected either by
means of buttons and buttonholes
worked through the box pleat, or by
means of buttonholes worked in fly.
The waist consists of front and
back portions. When made with
closing at the back, the backs are
made separately, but when the front

less. The tucks in the fronts are
