WE GOT 1T WRONG

In our asylum report last week we
made the mistake of saying the new
arrangement of employees saved
about $500 per quarter, when We
should have stated that it saved $4OC
per month.
In speaking of the new fire ex-
tinguishers now in use at the Court
House, we passed the information on
to our readers as we received it.
but it has been found that the ex-
were purchased at the
first sitting of the present board, and
were delivered promptly, before the
present jailer, Mr.. Thompson, was ap-
pointed. Our statement that the ex-
seemed to have been Gov
cred up and forgotten by the former
administration, therefore, was an un-
deserved reflection upon them.

UTILITIES COMMISSION
VISITS The GROVE CITY
Puts a Crimp in Municipal Lighting -Expounds
Principles Of Making Capital do Its Duty
No Matter Who Owns the Money

The public utilities commission
consisting of Axel. P. Ramstcdt
~. w. Graham and Senator A
|L. Freehafer are making tour Of
this end Of the state this week and
came to Blackfoot, Wednesday after
noon. They had an engagement foI
a sitting at the law office Of John
lW. Jones at 4 o'clock to hear com
1plaints regarding the prices of SER
vices of any public utilities, and they
were waited upon by L. M Capps
and Alex. Younie, representing the
Blackfoot Farmers Milling company
land the Southern Idaho Millers' as
Isociation, and by Senator L, r.
Thomas, w. f. Bergman and Val
entine Van Bramer, representing the
city council.
| Mr.. Capps stated that the prices
charged the Blackfoot mill for cleo
trical power since the schedule went
Unto effect under the orders Of the
utilities commission were higher than
the fiat rate charged by the company
before. and that they we're exorbit-
ant. He stated that they use So
horse power motor for grinding and
Ielevating, and 25-horse power
motor for cleaning grain, and that
the company charges them by the
schedule for each motor at the rate
prescribed for that size motor and
that amount of consu mption instead
|of charging them for the total Of
the two at the rate indicated for a
75-horse power motor. He said that
after they we're partly burned out
two years ago they had installed new
modern ball-bearing machinery re-
quiring much less electric power to
operate, thinking they would make a
saving of expense in this respect as
well as in others, and the power bill
INSTEAD of being reduced had risen.
They had made test under the old
system and found that it took u
horse power to operate the whole
load in the mill, and a similar test
with the ball-bearing machinery had
drawn only So horsepower They
could operate "a hours day under
the old fiat rate, and now it costs
them more for IL hours current.
Manager A. L. Hughes, of the
power company, said it was hardly
fair to make comparisons relative to
the fiat rate offered by the company
prior to the fixing Of the schedule
by the commission because the mill
tinging company had not accepted the
fat rate for the smaller motor but
+, had taken the meter readings on the
theory that as they used it but little
that would be cheaper.
Regarding the two motors he said
each one had to be considered by it.

IDAHO FALLS MAN KIDNAPPED

Saturday afternoon e. S. Empey,
of Ammon, was kidnapped at his
claim in Long valley near the Wyom-
ing line, and is being held for "a
ransom of $4,000.
The Empeys are well-to-do stock
men, and the matter is puzzling the
family and the officers. When he
was taken, a letter was given to the
two boys who were with him. giving
details of when, where and how to
deliver the money and save the life
of Mr.. Empey. Failing to comply
with the demands, they said their
prisoner will be put to death Sunday
morning. The letter requires that
the money be delivered at a certain
place in the road in Long valley un-
der certain conditions that make it
impossible for the persons delivering
it to see the bandits, and they have
the chance to count the money and
approve the deal before setting their
prisoner free.
Many conflicting statements are
being circulated about it, and these
things make it harder for the
troubled family to cope with the
question. If this piece of piracy sue
ceeds in its purpose every wealthy
family in the country may as well
bid goodbye to every sense Of secur-
ity.
