pany was in Boise the latter par
Of last week and Sundays Statesman
published an interview with hin
in which he stated that genera
reduction in electric rates would
soon take place in Southern Idaho
In speaking of conditions in this in
terview Mir. Mainland said;
Work at Ok Bow has been con
tinued with a reduced force despite
the financial conditions of the last
II months and from this time on
the work will be pushed much more
rapidly We have progressed so
far that it is safe for us to contract
for all new business during the COM
ing year.
you will remember that two years
ago we inaugurated our policy of
reducing prices. lAt that time the
average reduction was % per cent.
Since that time we have made an
other reduction of 10 per cent. This
was done because the company could
afford ii in view of the increased
patronage. You know up to a GER
tain point the larger the output we
can have the cheaper electricity can
be made and it has always been our
policy to give reductions whenever
the conditions warrant.
1--WE appreciate our field in this
rapidly growing country where every
body is busy attending to his own
affairs and realize that we must
conduct our business along lines
that will bear investigation later,
when the people have time TO
stop and take inventory, so to
speak Therefore we made the
reductions mentioned and in contin-
uance of that policy we expect
soon 10 make another reduction in
rates"
This will be welcome news to all
users of power in Payette Valley
and to confirm the Statesman inter-
view as to how it would affect u.s.
ers Of electricity in Payette Valley,
]. E. Orr local manager, was con-
suited and he authorizes the state
ment that the reduction mentioned
by Mr. Mainland would apply to
users of power in Payette Valley.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS
THE PoTTER's SON.

/ There was once boy whose fath'
er. being of the opinion that he was
not good for anything else, fully and
firmly intended to bring him up 10
and keep him at the potter's trade,
but whose mother, being peryersely
Of opinion that there were other pos
sibilities in the lad, successfully in
sisted that, potter or no potter, he
should go through the high school.
That boy, now in the prime of life,
in the capacity of assistant to the
attorney general of the United Stat
es has originated more trouble for
the trusts and corporations than
any other one man except our ex-
president.
Now, whether assistant trust and
corporation troubling is a higher and
better vocation than giving shape to
shapeless masses, and bringing forth
the beautiful and useful things of
clay for trusts and corporations to
sell, may be a mooted question, but
that the boys mother was right
there can be no question. Any boy
who has it in him to become first
class potter, or farmer or mechanic,
cannot but be a better man and cIti-
zen. if he has at least the minimum
amount of the right kind of school
education as a part of his original
equipment for manhood and citizen
ship, and the minimum includes moth
ing less than can be given by a
first class high school.
We must somehow get rid of the
that a common-school
education which stops short of the
best that the standard high school
can do is sufficient for great state
to guarantee to all who are willing
to accept it. This will be easier
than it seems now, if we can outgrow
the notion that there is some sort
of a line of cleavage between the
eighth grade and the high school
that does not exist between other
grades. A man argued with me the
other day that the high school ought |
to be discontinued in order to re-
duce the school taxes. He had no !
other reason, but that was reason !
enough to him. He positively re-
fused to look beyond his pocket book.
For the good of the State, common
school opportunities should be eX-
banded rather than curtailed, even
% the extent of making the high .
school free to nonresident pupils ev-
en if it involves the seeming alb
,urdity of setting the State up

most Of the way would probably have
won. Pearl Hopkins went well for a
half, but weakened from there on and
dropped entirely out Of contention. AL
bion H. was an early contender, but
found the distance too far and quit
after going three quarters. Omicron
was played as good thing, his back
ers sending the price down from to
2 to to 8 at closing time.
The talent cleaned up handsomely
in the third race on Lady Maxim at
to 1. While number of the wise ones
got down good and hard on the Hol-
stein horse, play on Eva Tanguay
was steady and hackers of Okolona
were now few. 1t was an open betting
race and play was brisk. Eva went
to the post a slight favorite over
Maxim, but did nothing to warrant
the faith the players had in the horse,
while Lady Maxim, of none too well,
steadily improved her position. Run
ming fourth the first quarter, she
commenced to overhaul the leaders,
passing the grand stand turn and on
the run down the back stertch drew
up to even terms with Cheeky, the
latter setting the pace. An eighth
from the wire the Lady raced Cheeky
into submission and rounding the
stretch turn drew away to win with
much in reserve by four lengths. Oko-

a poor beginning, closed a big gap

was never in the hunt, being outpaced
all the way.
There were doings a-plenty in the
fourth race when Sweet Owen was
backed down from to 1 to to 5
and won as his rider pleased by a
length and a half with plenty left.
Royal Lady opened up at favorite odds
of to 8, but there was little money
for her, the wise coin going to Sweet
Owen. Explicit, favored by a few
which caused his price to recede a
half point, rushed to the front when
