BUSY IN STORE AT 81
LIKE HE WAS IN 1899
Daniel o. Whitney, Ex-Mayor OF Brook
Ign, Has Not Missed a Day
In n Years

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-Daniel D.
Whitney, exmayor of Brooklyn, cele-
brated his ninety-flTst birthday ami
versary by putting IN as hard days
work as the average business man
considers necessary.
Despite the excitement OF an active
life in business and politics, Mr.. Whit
ney has never known even a rheumatic
pain.
After enjoying nine hours peaceful
slumber, he arose on the ninety-hrst
anniversary OF his birth to eat a stack
OF buckwheat cakes nine stories high.
He then walked from his home, No. 10
Foplar-st., Brooklyn, which he has oc-
cupied 55 years. TO his wholesale gro
Gerry at No. 20 Fulton-st., where ne
has spent 10 hours every day, except
ing holidays, for II years. Although
he has a modern desk, there are in
that office a safe and a desk which
we're in use when Mr. Whitney went
TO work as manager and bookkeeper
In 1899 for T. J. Gerard. Whitney and
his brother bought the business from
Gerard in .1S47.
Il am often asked" Mr.. Whitney

DOUGHERTY DINNER.
Farewell Feast From Friends of
the Family.

Once again the Richfield Hotel was
the place of gathering for splendid
dinner and an evenings entertainment
tenoered to Mr.. and Mrs. w. T. Dough-
erty as guests of honor. Mr.. and Mrs.
Dougherty expect to leave soon and
teeir many friends took this way of ex-
pressing their regret at losing them
from our midst, in the hopes, perhaps,
that they would wish to come back
sooner.
Their friends made the affair very
pleasant and most social one through
out. The dinner, as served, was very
appetizing and satisfying in every re-
spect. There were twenty partook of
the spread and all praised the menu
very highly from the first to the last
course
There was music throughout the din
ner service and Immediately following
the close of dinner dancing was in
dulged in until the hour of departure.
For a small place Richfield can make
several larger towns about it envious of
the good social times that have been
going on all the past winter and seem
likely to continue.

ALBION NORMAL.
Great Growth this Year and Bet
ter Yet in Prospect.

Chas. j. Lisle, of the Recorder,
visited Albion this week, to attend
a meeting of the board of trustees
of the Albion State Normal, of which
body he is member. Some i'm
portant work was to be taken up,
among other things the plans for
the completion of the armory and
gymnasium. The school is having
a fine attendance this year-almost
double that of last year. In 1908
O9 there were III pupils enrolled
in the normal department proper,
two months ago, there were ITO al
ready this year, and it was expected
that enough more would come in
towards the close of the year, to fu.-
Iy double last years record. The
last legislature was quite liberal
with the Albion Normal, which has
in other years been considered as
secondary and unimportant member
of the state educational system,
worthy of little support or encour-
agement But with a little more
help, it has Dlossomed forth wonder
fully, and this year it will make
probobly the best percentage OF gain,
as well as the best educational show
ing for the money, Of any OF the
state institutions
Richfield is to have electric lights
and power, just as soon as the plant
can be built.

FARMERS INSTITUTE.
Lecturers On Farm Topics From
Agricultural College.

The Farmers Institute held under
the auspices of the Farmers Associa-
ton of the Richfeld tract, in the Com
mercial Club rooms last Saturday after
noon and evening, was well attended
and much good was derived from the
lectures.
Mr.. w. NJ Yost, prominent fruit
grower of Meridian, and president of
the Ada County Horticultural lnstitu-
ton and Mr.. Gustave Kroegar and
Dean E. E. Elliot, of the State Agri-
cultural College were the speakers and
were listened to by very. interested
audience, throughout the meetings.
These gentlemen were well pleased
with the Richfeld tract and took a
drive out over the country Sunday,
with the view of buying some land.
They think the country is adapted to
fruit raising and predict promising
future for Richfield and the Richfeld
tract.
They left Sunday for Haley where
they delivered lecture Monday eve
ming.

, not market for the power here in
town or on the tract. But the plant
will be SO arranged that the addi-
tional generator units can be added
as necessary. As some of the other
plants along the river, notably those
at HALEY and at Shoshone, have had
troubles in winter because of their
fumes freezing up, an especial eff
fort will be made to build this one
so as to obviate this annoyance The
pipe line will probably be covered.
there will be no open canal, the
water will be taken from below the
crest of the reservoir dam, and in
every way possible this winter dan
ger will be minimized.
While the company has year in
which to complete its installation,
and the supplying of the village with
light and power. it is believed that
one-half this time will be more than
sufficient Some good financial
backing is assured, so that the plant
can be promised within a reasonable
time.
1t might be interesting to the gen.
eral public to know that Richfield
looks so good to the outside world,
that four separate companies sought
to secure franchises for lights and
power here. Three of these sub
mitted franchises for acceptance, and
the fourth, the Great Shoshone and
Salmon Falls company that will have
$4,000 horse power to sell, was only
a day behind the actual granting OF
the Green franchise. When these
great corporations get to rushing
into new towns, it looks pretty good
to the casual investor and the home
seeker who wants home where
work and rising land prices will
make him competence. They all
come to Richfield, and they don't
come by chance either.

chorus of industry and make South

1t is an important fact that one

West.
The 100000 acres of land under
the Idaho Irrigation company canals,
will be needed to help raise food and
feed for the thousands of men,

to do the great development work.

There is a great difference between
the coming of settlers this year and

That the Richfield tract is winner,
and that "Rising, Enterprising Rich

best towns in this part of the state is
conceded by all who arrive.

Begin construction in August.
Cut sod, mustard, ice, sage, all summer
and ali the time; not real ice but
tigurative.
Fight it out on this line if it
takes all summer, and all the other
years too.
Build the main line through Rich
field, to Boise and the coast.
That looks like the program for
the Oregon Short Line for this year,
and as much longer as it takes to
complete it.
But for the unseemingly winter,
the Hiawathian winter that has Just
closed after a four months engage
ment, the Short Line, according to
the best word that can be secured,
would have been ready now to make
a very definite announcement as to
how soon it could begin-and finish
this 220 mile line through Idaho.
lnded the announcement would
probobly have been made by a grad
ing crew of thousand men. But
a three months throw back in the
work of surveying, has delayed the
construction work just that much,
and so there is now no construction
work actually going on
But there is every reason to be-
lieye that this program will be car
ried on just as soon, as it is possible
to do it. The surveying crews that
stopped work here some time ago,
when the snow got to be four feet
deep and so ineligible for practical
are expected back here
any day. AS has been published
before, the engineers laid out a line
through this tract, early in the fall.
and then planned to go over it and
complete their grade work The
weather became too bad, so they
were called off to other easier
fields. They are due back here any
day, according to the best advices
the Recorder can secure, when the
survey will be completed as it
