ELECTRICITY
 IN IDAHO TOWNS
Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The gov
 ernment is selling electricity for heat ing purposes at astonishingly low rates in the thriving Idaho towns of Ruper and Burley, where three out of every four buildings and homes, large an6 small, are being heated by electricity
 Current for $1 to $1.25 per month per kilowatt of capacity is being sup piled as by-product from the govern ment's water power plant installed by the Reclamation Service on the Mini doka reclamation project. The pri mary purpose of the plant located at the diversion dam on the Snake river near Minodka is to pump water for the irrigation of about 50,0OO acres of land too high to be covered by gravity canals. The water has to be lifted about 70 feet and to do this 10,OOu horsepower are required during the summer irrigation season. In winter, however, the greater part of the power would be wasted were it not for the development of electric heating and this accounts for the low rates charged by the government for power. The revenue from heating would show a loss if heating were the only purpose of the plant. Sold as by-product from an installation required for other pur- poses electric heat is helping to carry the cost of operation as we'll as serving the cause of conservation.
 Rupert for year has been using electricity in it's high school housing 600 pupils for heating and ventilating and Burley has equipped a new school for 2,000 pupils with an elaborate and thoroughly modern heating plant. Hot water for the entire building is heated electrically, and the domestic science department has a complete outfit of electris hot plates for use of indivi- ual students as we'll as large electric range. These facilities are utilized by pupils coming from, distances in preparation of midday luncheons. 3urley, a hustling town of about 5000 people stands on ground that eight years ago was part of a sage brush desert.

GALLANT SOLDIER AND RAILROAD
 BUILDER GOES TO FINAL REWARD
Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-Two nota ble services to his country assur, Major General Grenville Mellen Dodg who died Monday-a place among the history makers of the Civil Wal and reconstruction periods.
 AS a soldier, his valor is attesteC by the fact that four horses were shot from under him in the battle of Pea Ridge, and that he himself received wounds in several battles.
 As pioneer in Western railroad building he has the Union Pacific rail- road, whose line he located and whose construction he superintended, stand ing today as a monument to his memory.
 Some sixty years ago, the then young Dodge, who had moved from New Eng land. where he had studied civil en- gineering, to Council Bluffs, Ia., enter ed the employ of the Illinois Central railroad. Abraham Lincoln who had done legal work for the same company. met the young Yankee. They talked of building railroad over the Rocky Mountains and beyond. The world had been laughing at the project. But Lincoln and Dodge agreed that it was feasible He raised, drilled and equip ped at his own expense the Fourth Iowa Infantry regiment
 Within two weeks, Colonel Dodge was leading his command in Northern Missouri. His gallantry soon after ward at the battle of Pea Ridge won almost instant promotion to the rank of Brigadier General. He lost one. fourth of his entire command, but he saved the day for the federal army. He again distinguished himself in the decisive battle of the Atlanta campaign July P, 1864-when he defeated General Hoods desperate movement to the rear of the Army of the Tennessee.
 Later, while standing in trench be- fore Atlanta, General Dodge was shot and severely wounded in the head.
 After the fall of Vicksburg he re- ceived appreciative recognition from General Grant, being promoted to the position of Major General, and given command of the Sixteenth Army Corps.
 The hanging of Sam" Davis. a Con- federate spy who was captured in Tennessee, was one of the incidents In General Dodge's career. On Davis were found complete plans of the forti- fications of Nashville, which, evidently. he had received from some federal of ffcer high in authority General Dodge offered the young spy his freedom if | he would reveal the name of his in | formant, but the accused man refused. Half a dozen times before sending the man to the gallows, General Dodge offered his immunity. The spy went to l his death with hi slips closed.
 He was the bravest man that ever died," said General Dodge.
 When General Dodge retired in 1866. It was to go back to railroad building.

 WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 5-The War Department has recommended that Congress immediately appropriate S1 25OOO0 for building levee 16 feet high and miles long, from the Colorado River to Volcano Lake, in Lower California and extend the evee from that point to the COcCpah mountains, the extension to be nine feet hgh which would join the present levee making continuous barrier sixty miles long.
 This is in exact accord with Gen. w. H. Marshalrs idea When he Yuma this last fall he very frankly pointed out to the great danger that threatens lmpe rial Valley and declared that unless the people of Imperial valley awakened to their danger that very great prise for them-the surprise of being nundat ed from end of the valley to the other.
 The fact that all the proposed levee work be done in Mexico makes difference whatever unless it be difference in favor of doing the work just that much quicker, in order to show friendly interest in Mexcos prosperity
 The government has already expended million dol lars the Mexican side which chief argument that river front work in Arizona and California on the Yuma project should be borne by the government and this ad 1dtional appropriation for work Mexico makes our gument that much stronger But aside from that citizens throughout the Yuma project will rejoice know that the government is determined to save Imperial valley
