INDEPENDENT LIGHT

Power to be Taken from
Last Chance Ditch---Also
~ Phone Line

A number of farmers on the out
skirts OF Emmett are interesting
themselves in the organization Of
an independent electric light and
power plant and also an independ'
ent telephone system.
The prime movers In the proposed
enterprise are Ed Vahlberg and
his neIghbors who live east of
down. 1t appears there are 1000
Inches of water in the Last Chance
ditch going TO waste. 1t is propos-
ed to utilize this water by installing
power plary In the vicinity OF
the j. j. Love water wheel and
generate sufficient power to
furnish light and power to .armers
along the east and south slopes
and the territory west and north as
far as the city. The city itself even
may be invaded. While no estlma G
of the cost of the plant or bts
operation has been made, II is
confidently believed that electri-
cal Juice" can be furnished at half
Ithe price charged by the Idaho

ELY'S FLIGHT MAY
Be RECOGNIZED BY
The GOVERNMENT

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. "a
Eugene Ely's fight to and from the
deck Of the Pennsylvania is likely
to be recognized officially by the
nation and the aviator may be dec
GRATED with special medal by
congress. President Scotford Of the
board of aviation has sent the fol-
lowing telegram to Congressman
Kahn at Washington:
Army and navy officers detailed
to San Francisco aviation meet, the
businessmen's aviation board, as
we'll as thousands of other San
Franciscans suggest Eugene Ely
should receive national recognition
for epoch-making fight yesterday
to deck of cruiser Pennsylvania,
marking a new era in military sci
ence. Respectfully suggest that you
father bill providing for special
congressional medal"
Ely, who is a veritable hero in
San Francisco, bears his honors with
fine modesty. He declares that he
will work along the same lines I'M
I'll he Is liable to make landings
that no platform will be necessary,
thus making the aeroplane of i'm,

He believes that ultimately the land
ing will be made on the deck and
that the start of flight will be ac-
complished by means of an adj
Unstable monorail that will take I'D
very little room, and can be part Of
the equipment of all war vessels.
AS the result of the naval and
military tests made here during the
meet the Japanese government has
placed an order with the Wright
Brothers for six biplanes for mill
tary use. Instructors will be pro-
yided and at least two of the
Wright aviators will leave for the |
land of crysanthemums to instruct
the little brown men in the newest
branch of military science. This
move on the part Of the Orientals
may influence the United States gov
eminent to more prompt action.
General Tasker H. Bliss, commander
OF the Department of California,
will detail two army officers who
will accompany Lieutenant Ellyson
Of the navy to the Curtiss aero
drome in the South for instruction
In aviation. Curtiss has many new
devices for use in warfare, and |
these will be secretly tested at the
course he will give to the govern
ment representatives.
Lieutenant Beck Of the signal
corps, who has had charge of the
war program at this meet, and who
IS perhaps the best informed man
in the army on aeronautics, will be
one of the men detailed to this
course. The other has not yet been
announced, but Lieutenant j. G,

OUT OF $4,000.

Joe Masse, formerly a partner of
Thomas Nelson in the sheep bust
ness in this part of the state, who
went to San Francisco about three
weeks ago on pleasure trip, would
have found it an unusually expen-
sive one had he not just in time
stopped the payment on three checks
aggregating $2500, which he claims
he was induced to sign by Michael
M. Riley, proprietor of the Thalia,

the Winnemucca Humboldt Star Of
Saturday.
Masse drew the checks, two for
$1,000 each and one for $3.50, on
the First National bank of this
place, making them payable to the
Thalia Amusement company, and
they were turned into the Bank of
Italy for collection. But before they
were sent to the First National
bank for payment, Masse wired the
local bank stopping the payment on
all checks drawn by him for over
$50, and saved himself $4,000. All
this occurred over a week ago and
