FIVE ACTIVE YEARS
IN SOUTHERN IDAHO
Rebuilt the Old Boise Valley
Line Between Boise and
Nampa, Extended Road to
Caldwell and Reconstruct
ed the Local Lines.

H. T.. DiCke, who recently resigned
as general manager of the Boise Valley
Traction company to acccp- the posi-
ton of general manager of the traction
lines OF the Utah Light & Power com
pany, operated by the Utah Light &
Traction company, and to which en-
larged field he has gone, leaves behind
an enviable record 1t is known his
splendid work here attracted the at
tention of higher ups in the electrical
world and resulted in his pronounced
advancement The offer came to Mr.
Dicke some time ago, but he said he
hesitated to leave a field where he had
been engaged in the initial construc-
tion and where he had formed so many
pleasant associations, but he finally
decided that he owed it to his future
to accept.
AS A TRACTION BUILDER.
Mr.. Dcke came to Boise five years
ago to take charge of the traction lines.
His first work was the reconstruction
of the old Bois2 Valley railway be-
tween Boise anG Nampa. This was
followed by extension OF tn line from
Nampa to Caldwell and later the re-
construction and consolidation of the
three local properties, consisting of the
Boise e. Intcrurban railway the Boise
railroad and The Boise valley line. In
this work Mr.. Dicke combined ra"c
eXecutiv, ability with an exposition or
remarkable aptitude for engineering
and constructive details. although not
a graduate of any technical scho d.
having taken his degree il the Uni
versty Of Hard Knox.
HIS WORK IN TIL. EAST.
Mr.. Dcke started in tn. traction
business in the accounting department
of the Fort Wayne. Ind, Traction com
pany in 1899, remaining with it for
about five years as bookkeeper and
cashier. He resigned to become gen
era auditor of The Ohio & indiana
Construction company, organized to
build 65-mile traction line from Fort
Wayne to Lima, o. During that pc
riod he devoted a great deal of time
to the engineering department and be-
fore the work was completed was made
superintendent Of construction and Ia
ter was placed in charge OF the opera
ton of the property, which was owned
by the Fort Wayne, Van Vert & Lima
Traction company. a year later the
company was merged with others into
the Ohio Electric Railway company and
Mr.. Dicke was placed in charge of the
northern division of the Ohio Electric
railway, consisting of 242 miles of in
terurban lines. He held that position
for nearly seven years and resigned in
December, 1911, to come to Boise.
NOT liMELiGHT SEEKER.
Mr.. Dicke is of a retiring disposition.
He avoided personal publicity and
countered all efforts to place him in the
limelight in connection with the inter-
urban developments here in which he
was such a potential factor Few pco-
pie knew OF the really splendid work
he was doing. The evidence speaks for
itself, however, and is emphasized by
the fact he has been called to Il larger
field.

Poisoned BY Thousands!

The victims Of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. are
many thousand every day. By reasc1
of the toxins, or poisons, bred - tic
intestines, these poisonous bacteria are
sent all thru the blood channels and the
victim feels tired, sleepy and headaehyl
or the brain doesn't work as usual The
best treatment for this is to drink hot
water before breakfast -. plenty OF
water all the day long. And procure ?
supply of pheasant Pellets made
of May apple, leaves of .alloes, etc,
with no calomel and entirely vegetable,
which can be obtained At almost An,

Youth Works on Farm to Earn
Money to Buy Some Liberty Bonds

While not in France fighting in the
trenches, Frederick L. Montmorency,
II years of age, son of General
Freight Agent Montmorency of the
Burlington, is doing his bit to help
win the war;
Young Montmorency will be gradu-
ated from the Omaha High school
next February, and, whether he at
tends school or not, he will have
earned enough credits to secure his
diploma. Not only will he have
earned the necessary credits, but he
will have the distinction of being one
of the Omaha boys to have given his
time to the government and then
having invested his earnings in Lib
erty bonds.
Last May when the call came for
boys to go to the farms, young Mont
morency was among the first to re-
spond and remained until August.
Returning home, he invested the sur
plus earnings in Liberty bonds and
then struck out for Wyoming, where
he quickly found employment on one
of the cattle ranches. He remained
there until the Omaha schools opened
last September, at which time he re-
turned home and invested his savings
in more Liberty bonds. He continued
in school until last week, when again
he listened to the cali of the fields.
He was well along in his school workt
and again sought and secured more
credits in order that again he might
do his bit in winning the war.
Having been assured that his school
work was of the highest character,
young Montmorency again started for
the farm, this time going into central

Cheerfulness and Francis Dellone
f. Celebrate Birthday Together

Francis X. Dellone, pioneer and
builder of Omaha, observed his Bath
birthday anniversary on Tuesday at
the home of daughter, Loretta Del
lone, 22l South Nineteenth street. A
present from this daughter was a
painting of the octogenarian by Ar
thur Rothery, local artist. Years ago
Mr.. Rothery selected as subject
for his picture, "The Smile that Never
Wore Off, which won al prize in an
eastern art exhibit.
When Mr.. Dcllone arrived here 90
years ago last spring from York
county, Pennsylvania, when Omaha
was an Indian village, he brought
an apprentice workman, and the
twain camped on the site of the city
Auditorium. More than half cen
fury ago he gave away the northwest
corner of Sixteenth and Harvey
streets as bonus. The Lord Lister
hospital, formerly the Dellone hotel.
was built by him and stands today
as monument to his ability as a
builder.
Mr.. Dellone is descendant Of
General Nicolai de Lon of Alsace-
Lorraine. He served one term as
president of the Douglas County AS
sociation of Nebraska Pioneers. An
other daughter is Mrs. J. P. Finley
of 1863 Poppleton avenue. Fred c.
Dellone, brother. died year ago.
This pioneer attributes his
longevity to a cheerful disposition.
He has seen Omaha grow from a
village to a great western metropolis
and continues his interest in men aud
