should win such triumphs over England in
the stormy times that produced The Star
Spangled Banner" In the summer of 1914
the war which was waging between the
United States and Great Britain seemed to
run almost entirely in favor of the latter
nation; Washington had been captured and
burned, the shores of Chesapeake Bay were
ravaged by the British fleet under Admiral
Cockburn, Baltimore itself was threatened
with speedy capture. At just this juncture,
DIR. William Beanes, an old resident and
leading physician of Upper Marlborough,
Maryland, was captured by General Ross
British army and held prisoner on Ad-
miral Cockburns flagship, the Surprise"
The doctor was personal friend of Francis
Scott Key, then a young lawyer living at
Baltimore, who determined to procure DR..
Beanes release, if possible, after obtaining
proper credentials from President Madison
and proofs that DR.. Beanes was non-com-
Blatant On September 2, 1914, Key set out
on his dangerous mission. Cockburn had
transferred DR.. Beanes to the custody of
Vice-Admiral Cochrane, to whom Key now
wendell his way. He could not have come
at more inopportune moment, for Cock
burn had planned combined attack by sea
and land upon Fort McHenry, the key to
Baltimore, at about the time that the Amer
lean envoy arrived. Vice-Admiral Cochrane
consented to the release of DR.. Beanes and
treated Key and his party with considerable
courtesy, but refused to allow them to re-
turn just then, as it was stipulated that all
of the American party should remain on the
Surprise" until the fort was reduced as
they feared the American party, who must
have seen the preparations going on in the

fleet, would betray their projected plans.
They were therefore detained on board the
Surprise" and afterwards placed on their
own cartel-vessel under guard during the
night of the attack One can imagine the
feelings of patriotic American compelled
to remain with the enemy during the impor-
tant battle which ensued.
The bombardment began at daylight on
the 18th of September, 1914, and continued
throughout the night following All during
that eventful night the great guns of the
fleet poured blazing fire of shot and shell
upon the fortress. Key, standing on the
deck of the English ship, in the midst of the
excitement of the terrific bombardment,
could see at intervals by the snatches of
light given from the ammunition, the Amer
lean flag waving vigorously over it's gallant
defenders. 1t was hot, persistent fight that
taxed the courage, endurance and patriotism
OF those brave soldiers to the utmost. You
can hardly conceive the anxiety with which
Key looked toward the fort through the gray
OF the dawn on the morning of the 18th.
The firing suddenly ceased before daybreak.
Key and his friend, Mr.. ]. S. Skinner
walked the deck impatiently, waiting for
light that they might see the result of that
fearful night At last the Stars and STRIPES
proudly floating above the fort greeted them
and they were now informed that the at
tack had been fruitless; that the soldiers
were re-embarking and that as soon as they
got aboard the American party were free to
depart.
During the stirring enthusiasm of that SUI
preme moment when Key and his friends
were able to discern their flag waving above

DEVICE RECEIVERS ARTICLES
LOST WHEN BOAT UPSETs

One Of the unpleasantnesses some
times experienced by sportsmen,
that OF losing a valuable gun of
favorite fishing rod IN the water,
DIS eliminated through the application
of a simple mechanical device which
has recently been patented. With it
an article which drops to the bot
tom of a lake when a canoe uneI-
pectedly capsises may be restored
IN few minutes time. The instru-
ment is made OF brass, is cylindri-
cal in shape, weighs o., and may
be screwed TO tho end OF fishing
rod or clamped to a gun so that it
is not cumbersome. Its mechanism
consists of strong spring, cork
spool carrying from 40 to 75 It. Of
silk line, and perforated cap which
ds held in place by a fiber cord
Within few seconds after il Is
submerged IN the water, the fiber
string gives way under the pressure
eIerted by the spring. This pushes
OFF the cap and hberates the cock
spool, which unwinds the line wrap
ped about it as it rises 30 the sur
face. When the cork appears at the
top 1t holds a strong line, the op-
posite end OF which is attached to
the eunken implement or package.

Three CORnERED
POWER FIGHT

The towns of the Lower Snake
and Payette River Valleys are get
ting together to maintain unitec
organization in dealing with the
power interests. Huntington, Payettt
Weiser, New Plymouth, Ontario, EN-
NETT, Nyssa, and Parma have agre
ed to cooperate, that all may fol
low the same policy in granting
franchises and entering into COZ
tracts for lighting and electric irri-
cation pumping.
The history OF the manipulatio7s
of the power interests as brought
out in Judge Deadrick's Federal
Court at Boise, indicate that move
ment is on foot to force all the
power companies of this section in
10 an electric power combine. The
three cornered fight that has teen
going On between the Idaho Oregon
Light and Fower Company, e
Idaho Street Railway Company, and
the Beaver River Company s Table
to lead to an ultimate capitalization
of the electric power inves n ent Of
such gigantic proportions, in this
section, that even a low rate Of
interest on tie actual investment in
the duplicate lines and plants will
eventually amount to a great burden
for the consumer 10 bear.
However the court records in
dicate that the Beaver River Co.
is now owned by the Boise Strest
Railway Company which low leaves
only the Idaho-oregon Lizht and
Power as the only Independent co.
on the outside.
All those who understand the sita-
alton in this section, seem to come
to the same conclusion as to the
proper course TO pursue That is,
first, to try TO negotiate with the
company now in this
field. The reasons for so doing, is
to avoid the building of duplicate
lines and plants which must soon
lead to consolidation. and then the
consumer will be asked TO pay main
tenance and profits on two systems
and interest on bonds issued foi
Construction.
The property of the Idaho-Ore
gon Light and Power Company is
now owned by the bondholders Of
its first mortgage bonds, or at least
will be their property as soon as
the sale is confirmed by the court.
The ibondholders bid in the property
at the receivers auction in comp
stition with the trust, whieh he'ps
TO determine a reasonable valuation
ON the property by which the Public
Utilities Commission can arrive at
q reasonable rate that the consumer
can pay.
The electrical trust is now at
Caldwell, Nampa and Boise and the
major portion of the property OF
the Idaho-Oregon Light and Power
Company is at Boise and within
the territory embraced by these
eight towns Of the Lower Snake
and Payette River Valleys, and 20
keep the Idaho-Oregon Light ard
Power Company in existance, 1t
must have this territory. With the
electrical trust at Caldwell, just
outside of our door, seems to be
the most satisfactory situation that
will insure reasonable rates that will
be permanent and satisfactory.
The bondholdeess have sent cr-
cular letters to all of their patrons, ),
stating that they will announce a
reduction in rates shotly after
they are permitted to do so by
the confirmation of the sale, which
Is expected in a few days.
