EX-GOVERNOR sIM BRADx
sACRIFICED 100000 PLANT
Dynamltcd His Property TO Save
Idaho Town Lights.

Here lb an IL0m OI luIVI01t w
Abilene people. Ex-Governor Brady
formerly lived here and the Incl
dent will be recognized as typical
OF his way OF doing things. 1t is
a dispatch from Pocatello, idaho,
under date Of Feb. IA:
Through the voluntary sacrifice Of
property valued at 100000; ex-
Governor Brady today furnished
electric lights to Pocatello, which
has been in darkness since the sub
station and transformer house Of
Mr.. Brady's power company was de-
stroyed by flood water Wednesday
might.
BY dynamiting the power conn
pany's dam and thereby running his
own property to the extent of $780,
900, Mr.. Brady, who personally SUI
perintended the work of redeeming
Pocatella from stygian darkness,
was able to rea1h the company's
transformers, buried deep below the
surface Of an unprecedented flood
In the Portneuf river, and connect
them again with the company's
high-tension transmission line from
the plant at American Falls.
The transmission line carries 49,
900 volts, and when connections
were made with the half-submurged
transformers there was danger of
instant death II a drop of moisture
came in contact with the current.
Three hundred pounds of dyna-
mite were used in blowing out the
company's dam to reduce the level
Of the flood water around the
wrecked transformdr-house. Fifty
workmen under the personal super
vision of Ex-Governor Brady dump
eded wagon load after wagon load of
rock into false channel to divert
the flood water from the transform
ers.
Wearing a blue flannel shirt and
laced-boots, the ex-Chief Executive
of the state directed the work. He
discharged two men who shirked and
while waiting for their places to be
filled, spat upon his hands and
worked like a Trojan.
BY the lifting Of the railroad
blockade and the resumption of the
electric light system, Pocatello is
once again in normal condition.
Wednesday morning the Oregon
Short Line was tied up by washouts
at nixon, ~ miles east of this city.
Scores of trains piled up on either
side of this gap, until at MacCam-
mon there were SO cars of passen-
gers and twice as many in Poca-
tello.
Not until o'clock last night was
the washout finally repaired. Trains
were then sent ,Over the sagging
track. The first train consisted of
IS cars of mail, followed by train
of nine mail cars bound west and
north. Then came sections of STALL
ed trains one at time. At one time
there were eight westbound trains
in the Pocatello yards.
The Portneuf river floor, unprece-
denied in history, subsidized and nor
NAL conditions are now restored.
Last night Ex-Governor Brady
walked into his office, which had
been lighted by candles since We'd
nesday night, turned on the electric
light, dropped into a chair and. sf-
ter two narrowing nights and days,
fell asleep.
