New Electric Service.
Beaver River Power Co. to Enter Meridian

The Beaver River Power Co., which
has been operating successfully in Utah
and southern Idaho for the past si1
years is preparing to enter Meridian, ,anG
furnish the community with electric
service at a great reduction in rates
The advent of the new company and the
establishment of competition in electric
service is meeting with universal ap
proval, since economy in public utilities
is desired by all.
The representatives of the company
state that the people of Boise, Nampa
and Caldwell have received them with
great enthusiasm as is shown by the
fact they have obtained over two thous-
and contracts IN Boise and more than
three hundred in NampB and Caldwell
The company proposes to include Mer-
idian in their circuit providing they can
secure assurance of sufficient support to
Justify the investment. They are ask
ing for one hundred and fifty contracts
and have every reason to believe that
they will be successful. AS soon as
these contracts have been secured active
construction work will be commenced
and every effort will be made to push
the work to an early completion.
Facilities: The plant which is to sup
ply the necessary power for this
territory is located on the Little Malad
river near Bliss, Idaho. Tt is a hydro
electric plant of the most modern design
and is capable of developing about 10000
horse power, 5000 of which is now ready
for active operation. The high tension
power line, which the company believes
the best in the state, has been construct
ed from the station to Boise, and the
people of Mountainhome, and Goodlng
have been enjoying the company's SER
vice for some time. A 3, 500 horse pow
er steam turbine plant is now under
construction in Boise. This plant is
used in case of emergency, this enabling
the company to give unexCelled service
to its patrons.
Installation: Transmission lines are to
be built Immediately connecting Cald-
we'll, Nampa and Meridian to these
plants. This installation means an in
vestment and spenditure of seme magni-
tude and the company is seeking the
support of all who wish to avail them
selves of cheaper rates.
In order to secure the necessary sup
port and definite expression of public
sentiment the company's representatives
have been soliciting in Meridian for the
past few days, and are making an effort
to meet every consumer and prospective
power user. The advantages to be de-
rived from the entrance of another
company in this field are evident to all.
The better service and cheaper rates
produced by competition will offer a
great incentive and inducement
to new industries and factories to locate
here where we already have SO many
natural resources. .4,,

ReViving an Old Memory.

Uncle j. H. Twogood, of 111G
Idaho street, Boise, asks the Times
to assist him in finding the lady
who recently met him in Boise
and expressed her thanks to the
pioneer for staying with ner and
. her mother during a certain Indian
war in the early days. Mr..
Twogood, who is one of the oldest
pioneers of the state, has publish
ed many columns in the news
papers, relating to the thrilling
incidents connected with the early
days of Idaho. One of the events,
vivid i'll his memory, was the In
dian outbreak and Rogue river
war, September, 1O-l1, 1855, when
many of the settlers were massa-
cred. A woman, with a small
child in her arms, appealed to Mr..
Twogood for protection, and it
was for this act that the child now
an elderly lady, met Mr.. Twogood
and thanked him. .-
Mr.. Twogood was naturally sur
prised and frustrated but readily
recalled the incident, which had
been related to the lady by her
mother. In the confusion she left
without informing Mr.. Twogood
of her address, other than that she
lived on the bench. Mr.. Twogood
is very anxious to meet the lady
again.

The long pending case Of the state
Of oregon on the relation Of Ben W.
Olcott as secretary Of state and as Gus
todlan of the state capitol building
against Willis S. Duniway, state print
er, which was begun with the object
Of oustlng the printer and his office
from the capitol building, was this
morning dismissed at the request Of
Secretary Olcott. The case has been
before the courts for more than
year.
The reason given by Mr. Olcott for
having the case dismissed is that be-
cause Of technlcalitIes the case would
Of necessity be referred back TO the
circuit court from the supreme court
and because with the completion Of
the new supreme court building the
printing office will be removed to the
new buildings as provided in the ar
chitect's specifications. The removal
viii take place in about year.
Secretary Olcott undertook the task
Of removing the printer from the capl-
tol building because Of his position as
custodian Of the building. With the
arising Of new conditions he does not
consider It practicable to carry the
case farther.

Chicago, Oct. 24.-Spurred to action
by evidence Of a nationwide organi-
zation which reaps an enormous profit
by supplying white girls to wealthy
negroes, Chinese and japanese, gov
ernment officials in every important
city Of the country today received
orders from Washington to take steps
Immediately to stop such traffic. Ev-
idence was produced in the federal
grand jury Investigations here Of
n white slavery case in which Pugil-
ist Jack Johnson and Lucille Gamer
on, a white girl, figure makes 1t al
most certain that such an organlza-
tion exists.
A score of instances where white
girls had been shipped from state to
state to negroes, Chinese and Japan
ese were given to the United Press
this afternoon by Arthur b. Farwell,
president Of the Law and Order
League
"The Chinese" Farwell said, "are
the most fastidious They will accept
only the most beautiful and attractive
white girls. Price Is no object as long
as the girl is pretty The negroes and
Japanese are easier to please. so
long as the girl is white, It does not
matter to Them
Farwell flatly charged the police in
large cities with responsibility for
present conditions Police action
against the white slave organization
he said, had been stlfled by money.

bining in a plan to ask the mayors of
every American city to forbid John

Mrs. J. W. GOingS Delegate
TO W. c. 7. U. Convention
Not Seen Since Arrival at
Portland Last Friday.
LuNIrEp rRrss InAsrp wmp.l

Portland, Or, Oct 24-Portland and
many other cities Of the northwest are
being combed from end to end today
to discover the whereabout of Mrs. j.
M. Gongs, of Carbondale, ILL.,, wealthy
delegate at large from Illinois TO the
national w, c, T, U. convention, who
dropped mysteriously from sight Fri
day, October lS Mrs. GOings was said
to have considerable money and jew
elry on her person. In answer to an
invitation from househoders here to
receive the delegates, Mrs Goings was
upon her arrival Friday, allotted ac-
ccmmodations in the home of Mrs. T.
A. Sherman in the select residence
section.
According to Mrs. Sherman, Mrs
Goings, who Is nearly 60, never ar
Ned at her home, and an exhaustive
search by the police has failed to re-
veal her whereabouts.
Mrs. Goings attended none of the
sessions of the w. c. T. U. onvention,
and there appears TO be no member
Of that organization here now who has
the least inltling as to her present To-
cation.
The disappearance of Mrs Goings
has stirred the ranks of the w. c. T.
U. here deeply and efforts are being
made to find out more Of her home
connections in the hope that the
search may be aided from that end.
So far as is known the Carbondale
authorities or members of the missing
womans family there know nothing of
her whereabouts.

Vienna, Oct. 24.-Locked in a death
grapple, on the outcome of which
hangs the fate of Islam in Europe,
Moslem Turks and Christians Serbs
and Bulgars continued today their bat
tie for the Fortress of Kirk Kilsseh,
the fall of which, It is admitted, will
pave the way to Adrlanople's fall, the
ultimate capture of Constantinople and
the probable expulsion Of the Moham-
medan from Europe.
Sweeping in from the northeast, the
Bulgarian army has cleft its way al
most to the walls of Kirk Kilsseh
and, spread out in a wide crescent for
nation, is steadily pushing back the
Turks to the very walls of the fort
ress. Vailika and Tirnovo have al
ready been occupied by the Christians,
and, their advance forces almost sur
rounding Kirk Kilisseh, they are bat
tling desperately for its fall before
pushing on to Adrianople, only about
20 miles west.

Slaughter Is Terrific

News from the actual front is frag-
mentary, but enough has come through
the lines to show that more than $780,
900 men are engaged on both sides,
and 1t is certain that the slaughter Is
terrific. On the right wing of the
attacking Bulgarian force, it said, con-
tact already has been established with
the Turkish forces defending Adrian
ople, and that 100 of the Moslems we're
killed in a sharp conflict at redoubt
on the banks of the River Arda. 1t is
even rumored that Bulgar siege guns
have opened fire on Adrlanople itself,
but this report is so far unconfirmed.

AdrlanOple VIII Fall.

Aiding the frontal assault of the
Bulgars on Kirk Kilisseh and Adrian
ople a Servian force, which has al
ready captured Kumanova, is pushing
desperately onward to the south in an
effort to turn the Turkish left flank
Should this movement be successful,
and a heavy force of Serbs gain posi-
ton to the southwest of Adrianople,
there Is hardly doubt that that city
will fall, particularly If the Bulgars
continue their successes to the north
and northeast
1t is pointed out here by military ex-
perts that this Is probable The
Turks, with their whole force
available, are admitted to have so far
failed to stop the Bulgar attack, and
IL they are forced to weaken the front
presented to Car Ferdinand's troops
to encounter the Serbs, defeat would
seem to be almost certainty for the
soldiers of the sultan. They would be
caught between two fires, and bat
tie to the death in and about Adrian

would settle the Balkan war.

To Fire Turk From Europe.

This view is taken from the stand
point that the victorious Balkan allies
would be satisfied with acquiring from
the Turk the provinces originally in
dispute. This view, however, is scout
ed by many observers. They believe
that the remarkable cooperation Of
Bulgaria, Servia, Montenegro and
Greece is evidence that their plans
we're fully laid long before the out
break of hostilities, and that the real
object of the war is not autonomy for
Macedonia or the cessation cf the Al
banian atrocities. but the absolute and
final expulsion Of the Turk from Eu-
rope, and the placing Of the cross
again on the Mosque of st. Sophia in
Constanti6ople and establishment
again under Ferdinand Of Bulgaria Of
that empire of the east which flour
ished under Constantine.
Turks Beaten Everywhere.
What part in this general plan-if
such is the plan-is being worked out
by the Montenegrins and Greeks is as
