The dull old view from the dusty window of Jessop

from the direction of the railway station and the

eyes with the glare of redhot gold and the soul of him

To me, the pity of the thing is in selling

fiercely that Jessop whirled round on
his revolving desk chair and stared at
him. But Cardyce had been quicker
than he; for, almost as he turned, there
was crash and clatter far down on
the bricks of the paved courtyard, and
the glass, which only an instant before
had been standing on the windowsill,
was gone.

wrung Jessop's hand, and swung out of
the Office.
For a moment Jessop stood just
where he had left him, thoughtfully
scratching the little bald spot on top of
his head, and looking thoughtfully and
dejectedly at the carpet; then suddenly
his eyes lightened, a smile crept up over
his smooth old face, he twitched round

Would Own Light Plant.

The question of electric lights and
power and the rates charged Came up
for discussion and from the opinions
expressed it would not be far wrong
to say that the present administra-
ton is in favor of the city owning its
own plant. 1t appears that by the
terms of the franchise owned by the
Idaho Oregon Light & Power COM
pahy, the city has the right 10 pur-
chase the plant within the city limits
at the expiration of 10 years from
the date of its grant by serving no.
tice of intention to purchase six
months prior to the expiration of the
first 10 years. If this right is not
taken advantage of the franchise is
to continue in force 10 years longer
The first 10 years ends January 18,
1914. 1t is not at all improbable that
the city will avail itself of this pro-
vision and serve the required notice
at an early date. If that is lone and
the distributing system is acquired,
bids will be asked for to furnish
Juice" for term of years. This
plan is being followed at Weiser with
very satisfactory results and at q
considerable saving to electric light
patrons.

Ohio Man Expresses Apprecia-

Response for Relief.

That Emmett's prompt response to
the appeal for relief from the flood
sufferers of Ohio is appreciated is
shown by the following very compli-

from S. w. Nichols of Columbus, Ohio.
Mr. Nichol is the father of our Les

derable land on the bench. He s rites:
Editor Index:
Under the caption of "Reliee for
Flood Sufferers" in your last issue,
/ am pleased to note the touch of hu-
man interest which the citizens of En-
NETT and the surrounding country
have displayed in behalf of those of
our community and commonwealth Of
Ohio, who have experienced great suf-
fering by the most disastrous flood
in the history of this state.
"By the breaking of levee along
the Scioto river the wall of water
came without warning over the west
side of Columbus, covering or car
rying before it the homes of nearly
twenty thousand people, leaving in
its wake much suffering and sickness.
People who a moment before owned
comfortable homes were left destitute
with not even a change of clothing
"Your contribution of food will be
greatly appreciated by the relief com
mittee, which is under the general
supervision of the National Red
Cross.
"The loss of life was also heavy.
The stories of heroism are remarkable
to relate. One of my friends who
lost every vestige of his home, and
three children, was one of twelve
people who took refuge in tree after
being washed from the top of his
house. There they remained for two
DAYS in a drenching rain, and wit
messed five of their companions one
by one drop into the swift current
below.
"My property interests were con-
siderably damaged, but their partl-
cular locations out of the direct path
of the break in the levee, saved then
from worse destruction.
81 extend my thanks to the indivl-
duals and organizations who sent
donations to Ohio, as many OF the
destitute ones l personally know, who
are the bone and sinew of our indus
trial interests and are worthy of as
sistance to rise from the great cal
amity that has befallen them.
81 believe l am justifable in feel
ing of pride for the public spirit and
philanthropy of Emmett's citizen
ship, not only for the good they have
done, but also, because of my proper
ty interests near Emmett, being sur
rounded by a people who are noble
and great enough to look beyol d their
own confines and recognize the spirit
of the brotherhood of man IN this
distant state of Ohio.
Sincerely yours,

Compliments Emmett Schools

Professor Edward M. Hulme, who

the Universinty of Idaho, was in town
on Wednesday for the purpose OF vis-

ments were made by Professor Hume
regarding the work being done here
81 saw some good teaching this after
noon," he said, "and the general tone
and spirit of the school appear to
be of a high order. The facts that
so large a percentage of the Eighth
grade students go on up to the High
school, and that so large number of
those who enter High School continue
in that work, are very significant.
They reveal the further fact the work
of the High school is vital and worth
while. Otherwise, the school would
fail to attract and hold so many stu
dents"
