WOULD Sell CITY
ELECTRIC POWER
1000 HORSE POWER AT
$1S,OOO.OO A YEAR.
Representatives of Warm River Plant
Make BlackfOot This Offer On a
Twenty-Year Contract With Pri-
vilege to Buy If Desired.

On Tuesday evening the council
was visited by Engineer N. M. Holm
of Shelley, Attorney N. d. Jackson of
st. Anthony and F.C. Bowman of Ida
no Falls. who offered the city electric
current to the amount of 1000 horse
power at their plant near the mouth
of Warm river near Ashton, for $751;
10000 a year on a 20 year contract,
with the privilege of purchasing in
the same time by the payment of an
additional 100000 a year for 20
years. The city would have to build
and maintain transmission line a
distance of about 70 miles at cost
of about $1,000 to $1,000 mile,
build and maintain their own sub
station and their distributing lines.
Mr.. Bowman addressed the board
regarding the municipal plant at
Idaho Falls, saying they had expend-
ed about $60,0O0.O0 on the old one
and it had repaid the outlay and
more. They had built the new plant
for less than $20O,0OO.OO and can
now sell it for million If they wish.
It pays the city profit of about $27,-
10000 at present, besides lighting
the streets and pumping the water for
the city water plant. The price
charged by the city is ten cents per
ki1owat for lighting and three cents
when used for power, s1gnboards,
ironing, etc.
Mayor West stated that power
can be bought from the firm holding
the dam above Shelley, and by buiid-
ring a transmission line Of about "a
miles it can be delivered to the city
The cost of this service would re-
quire very much less capital than
the other one.
After the discussion the council
instructed the city attorney to pro-
ceed with the filings on the project
they had already had surveyed in the
mountains east of town.
Chairman James Christensen of the
board of county commissioners, was
present and said the mater of poll
tax may be fixed for 1914 at any
thing from So to $4, and he suggested
that the council fix the price to be
paid by the people in their own road
district. The council fixed the price
of So and all agreed that it is usual
ly tn man with property who has to
pay and nearly all others beat the tax
or make it cost about all it comes tc
to get it.
Alex. Younie asked for a building

ed with sheet iron, on the lots west
of the city hall. The question OF
whether this should be allowed with.

was laid over until the next meeting
to give time to study whether this
would be fire proof according to the
meaning of the present ordinance.

patented and consequently are not
paying taxes. He urged that the
immediate survey of these lands and
the issuance of patents will save the
people of Idaho $4,000 annually in
taxes that will be paid by the owners
of the lands in question.
There is much interest on the sub
ject, and Mr.. French is confident his
proposition will be enacted into law.

METHoDIsTs FOR SUFFRAGE

Bishop Warren Gambler of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South is
reported as disparaging the ballot, in
a recent sermon in Atlanta. The
American mind said Bishop Gambler
seems to be infected with what may
be called the superstition of the bal
lot" Many men otherwise sane are
foolish enough to think that reform
can be brought about by the result
of an election"
The Bishop went on to say that
many women also had fallen under
this deIusiion, but that in the enfran-
chised states vicious women have
outvoted the virtous," and there has
been no improvement.
For the Bishops heresy on the
value of vote to men, he nay safely
be left to be dealt with by the
Citizens Associations and pastors and
friends of good government generally
who unite before each election in
urging upon men the duty and i'm
portance of going to the polls. But
in regard to the results of equal suf-
frage in the enfranchised states, he
really ought to apply to some Of the
Methodist ministers in those states
/ for information.
When Mrs Julia Ward Howe took
/ - oorc,,c - : +bO y,,ipic*aru Of four Iaa a.
ing denominations in the four oldest
suffrage states, asking them whether
women suffrage worked i'll or we'll.
the replies from all the denomina-
tions were favorable. but the proper
tions varied Thus the answers from
the Episcopal clergymen were in IA
vor more than two to one, from the
Baptist ministers seven to one. and
from the Congregationalists about
eight to one; but those from the
: Methodist were in favor more than
ten to one. This was the highest pro-
portion given by any denomination
except the Presbytarians, who re-
piled favorably more than eleven TO
one. In all, she received GA answers,
of which 60 were unfavorable, 46 on
the fence, and SIG in favor. In face OF
all this testimony. how can a rational
person believe that the vicious wom-
en- have outyOted the virtous'? Elk

to Horace G. Wadlin OF Massachu-

not bad, the results are good and not

years of labor the last barrier was
broken today in the Catskill aqueduct
tube, the largest water tunnel in the

years hence.
The estimated cost of the tunnel is
sixty million dollars. and during the
nine years of labor two hundred lives
have been lost through accidents and
otherwise.

OUR POLICY TOWARD MEXICO

The Philadelphia Record is one OF
the many newspapers that is entirely
satisfied with President Wilson's Mex
lean policy. In a recent issue that
paper says:
AS was to be fOreseen by any body
who had taken the trouble to under
stand President Wilson's position in
the Mexican difficulty, the interview
with John Lind, special envoy Of the
president, did not result in even the
slightest change OF policy. What rea-
son was there for a change? The
elimination OF General Huerta, which
President Wilson insisted upon as the
prime condition necessary to a recon
stitutiOn of the Mexican government,
is coming nearer every day. Refer
ence is not here made TO the insur-
gent successes in Northern Mexico. al
though these are important factors in
the solution of the problem. But it is
not on Villa and his semi-barbarous
bands that President Wilson depends
for a regeneration OF Mexico"
