ambitious students, the loan be-
ing made with the understanding
Inat it be repaid in small month
y mstalments when the student
OOtalns a position. Several have
Oeen assisted in this way.

.RRING LIGHT AND
POWER HERE
|a.orOeville Company Purchases
ocal Light Plant and will Run
Power and Light Wire Here
This Fall

B. Gustad, manager of the
crangeville Light & Power Co..
Was in the city Wednesday ac-
eompanied by his wife. Mr..
Gustad's company closed a deal
last week for the purchase of the
heal light plant from Frank
Wright and he informed US that
transformer would be put in
here and a wire run over to this
Mace from Grangeville not later
than December 1st, by which
time the company expects to
take charge of the plant at this
place.
The company, which recently
increased it's capital to $500, 900,
is putting in a new power plant
on the Clearwater and will de-
velop about 10000 horse power
there. They will furnish both
light and power to Grangeville
and Cottonwood and may later
extend the line on to Vollmer
and other points on Nezperce
prairie.
The work of stalking the line
between Grangeville and this
4 place is now under way and the
. poles will be set as rapidly as
possible.
The citizens of this place are
4 glad of the change as it means
an all night light service and
electric power to operate small
machinery during the day. The
-four mill is also seriously con-
sidering the question of putting
in an electric motor to run the
mill machinery.
Mr. Wright still retains the
planning mill but will sell it as
soon as possible. He will con-
tinue to run the light plant until
the new owners relieve him.

DETECTIVES NOT
APPRECIATED
Twin Falls Citizens Threaten to
Tar and Feather DRY" Detec-
tives Who Have Been Working
that City.
The Twin Falls News says:

Inc VIII L ais NEWS says.
Imported detectives caused
the arrest this week of several
people alleged to have sold liquor
contrary to the local option law,
and each was given a preliminary
hearing Thursday and bound
over to the district court by
Judge Shields. Methods used by
the sleuths, who were engaged
by the Idaho Law and Order
League, were developed during
the trial of Mrs. Nellie Moon and
aroused so much condemnation
by her friends that arrangements
were made Thursday afternoon
under which it had been planned
to tar and feather these detect
ives early Friday morning. They
are known as C. S. Hanna and
E. E. Van Vert. They scanning
ly learned early of the vigilance
committees intentions and dis
appeared from usual haunts.
Members of the law a nd
order league We're much surpris-
ed upon looking for their sleuths
early Friday morning to find
them out of sight.
''The weeks campaign of the
league resulted, through the
agency of the importations, is
the arrest of not only Mrs. Moon,
but Sam Light, Herbert Wilson,
Jess Gregory, Myrtle Smith,
Sam Kuhn, Irving Terrill and
John D'Seer. Mrs. Moon con-
ducts the rooming house over the
Java restaurant. She declares
she is innocent and was made a.
dupe of by the detectives by
renting room and securing beer
which had been left there by
former occupants. The detect
ives swore that she served the
beverage to them in bottle.
"The other defendants were
classable merely as 'bootleggers'
and were also induced to sell to
the detectives, posing as friends.
Defendants are preparing to
fight when the trials occur on
the theory that the higher courts
have ruled that officers of the
law who conspire to violate the
law are incompetent as witnesses
in the courts, and are subject to
prosecution on charges of con-
spiracy to violate the law, and
equally guilty with principals.
Friends of some of the ac-
cused declared this morning that
they intend to carry out their
temporarily delayed program,
and that, whenever opportunity
offers, visiting agents of the
league will be dealt with on ku
klux khan methods. Some ex-
citing times are therefore in
prospect for Twin Fall over the
question of suppressing the liq-
uor traffic. "

New Store For Cottonwood.

Cottonwood is to have another
large general merchandise store.
G. W. Felt and Claire Lomax, of
Nezperce, are the proprietors of
the new concern and Theo.
Kruse, formerly with the Cotton
wood Mercantile Co., will also be
identified with them. The store
building formerly occupied by
the Cottonwood Mercantile Co.
has been leased by the new firm
and is being prepared now for
the stock, part of which has al
ready arrived. We understand
the place will be fitted up in good
shape and that the new institu-
ton will be a permanent one.
The store will open for business
early next month and will carry
a large stock, as the owners in
tend making a strong bid for the
business of Cottonwood and
Camas Prairie. That their line
will be satisfactory in both quail
ity and price is assured.
This will certainly give Cotton
wood plenty of stores, six in all,
and the general public should
have no trouble in getting any
thing in the mercantile line at
moderate prices in our city.

NO AMERICAN UNDER
ARREST AT TORREON
Mayor and American Consul
lar Agent Investigate and
Find Report False.

Torreon, Mexico. Dec. 1S-Another
case of mistaken sympathy and misrep-
resentation both of American consular
officers and of Mexican government
officers has been revealed by the inves-
LEGATION of the case of Alfred Gibson,
of San Antonio, Texas, alleged to be in
Jail in Torreon. This case has been
given considerable publicity and noto-
riety during the past fortnight and
stories have been printed broadcast of
the mans arrest and Imprisonment on
political charges. Mrs. Gibson has been
kept in suspense, according to the re-
ports, and one party in San Antonio
addressed a letter to prominent Mex
lean Of Torreon asking that he use his
influence with American consular agent
Carothers to urge him to act in the
matter.
Mr.. Carothers Immediately went to
DR.. Escobar, the mayor of Torreon, who
stated that the only arrest of an Ameri-
can since October 1 was the case of an
habituaf drunk, who was released, ac-
cording TO custom. several days later.
Investigation proved that no prison
er was registered bearing the name of
Gibson, or any other English name,
and as Gibson's mother was a Mexican
woman, closer examination was made
In the presence Of the American con-
sular agent every prisoner in the jail
was brought before DR.. Escobar, who
asked them separately their names
adding that the American consular rep
resentative was there in the interest of
Gibson There was no American in the
lot nor any one claiming American
protection. Yet the declaration has
been repeated with insistency that Glib
son is under arrest here.
The election of officers of the city
0f md Of n L.
cal judges was without excitement. DR..
Leopold Escobar. who has served
creditably as president, was reelected
to that post, and Mauro de la Pena was
reelected president of the city council
