-W.s.s,

M. G. Grebe has returned to town
from the hot springs, where he sup
eryised the building Of the new bath
house. The building is complete
except for the inside finishing and
pointing up the walls, which cannot
be done until warmer weather is
given us Mr. Grebe states that they
dug out the spring over which the
building is erected, and walled it up
a distance of nearly five feet to raise
the water high enough to flow into
the tubs. This walled spring is
four by eight feet in size and there
will be two steam baths on top of it,
and a tub bath at each end. The
four bath rooms with the necessary
dressing and waiting rooms, will
occupy the entire building, which is
16x24 feet in size. There are still a
number of subscriptions to the bath
house fund unpaid and the money is
now needed, and should be paid over
to Mr. Grebe or to r. G. Ticknor at
the city clerks office.

GAMES AT HOME

The local basket ball team opened
the season with trip over south
central Idaho, where they played
four games, Although three of the
games were lost they were not by
such a score that Mountain Home
cannot change the tide when the re-
turn game is played on our own
floor.
While on the trip some of the
boys we're beginning to lose heart,
they were cheered up by messages
from the loyal high school girls at
home. and took hold again for vic
tory, which came in the last game.
The games played were Gooding
Jan %; Rupert Home Guards, Jan.
rs; Burley Jan 20; and WendaIl,
Jan. 80. Burley is school des-
erving special mention because they
should the boys an unusually good
time before the game, the students
gave an impr0mptu programme for
the Mountain Home boys, which was
greatly appreciated.
Now the season is begun we are
ready to show our neighbors that
we can play basket ball The next
three games will be played on Noun
tain Home floor as follows:
College Of Idaho VS., Mountain
Home High School, Feb 4
Gooding vs.. Mountain Home High
School Feb 8.
Meridian High School VS.. Noun
tain Home High School Feb. Is.
The first game is with a College
and will be fast game and worth
seeing. Gooding, our opponents
won on their own floor, bet Mountain
Home will have victory when they
come here.
Meridian recently won over
Nampa by 1913, so you see we are
to play some fast teams.
These games will all be fast and
well worth a little spare time tc
see them We cannot all play the
ball, but we can all give our support
from the side lines, and help our
team 10 victory.

IDAHO COMPANY
rs FLOTAING BIG
ISSUE OF STOCK
Wss.

The Idaho Power company is con-
Quoting a publicity campaign having
for its object the establishing of a
partnership relation with its many
customers by the sale to them of its
Preferred Stock, in this way sharing
dividends with its customers thus
bringing about the better co-opera-
tion and effort necessary in build
ing up the many communities where
its service is used for general power
purposes.
The company desires a greater dis
tribution of its stock among the many
Residents of the territory it serves
which covers practically all OF south
eFn idaho where this company owns
various water power plants and dis
tributes power to more than 10000
customers, The unusually high rate
of dividend, per cent per annum,
coupled with the fact that it is paid
in quarterly instaIlments makes the
preferred stock of the Idaho Power
company popular as an investment
with the large investor as well as
with those of modest means. Stock
can be bought for cash or on an easy
payment plan.
ITO quote from an interview with
w. d. Sumner, local representative OF
the company, the principal idea Is to
encourage cooperation by creating
the intimate relation of partnership
between the company and its custom
ers. This will result in larger ex-
Donditure in the home territory
where money will be paid to our local
people as dividends and larger
amounts expended for wages, taxes
and material and supplies all OF
which will in turn, under the infu-
ence Of greater cooperative effort
by the local people and the company
assist in developing southern laaho

people of Mountain Home. His
trouble, rather unusual, is known
as Progressive muscular atrophy

counts for the shrinking of his limbs
and final failure of breathing.

uary %, 1918, and was thus 2S days
past 65 years of age. Mr.. Tanner
came to Mountain Home, in the fall
of 1898, a citizen "a years. He served
the village as marshall eight years
and held the Office at the time of his
decease. He was an agreeable and
courteous man to meet.
In his domestic relations Mr..
Tanner was especially tender and de-
voted. March 26, 1876, he took to
wife Sarah E. Harmon of Los
Angeles, Cal, a wedIock of nearly
AZ years. Besides the widow, three
sons and daughter survive to
mourn their loss, Louis J. Tanner
and Mrs Minnie NJ Hobbs of Noun
tain Home, Walter w. Tanner of
Portola, Cal, and Grover G. Tanner
of Mountain Home. One brother re-
mains, John j. Tanner of Mountain
Home. Walter, who had not been
home for eleven years, was accom-
panied by his wife,
Mr.. Tanner was believer in the
Bible, his parents were Methodists,
He was fond of singing the familiar
hymns, especially Nearer Ny God
to Thee" and "Sweet Hour of
Prayer, both of which were sung at
his funeral
Funeral services were held at the
residence Sunday afternoon, the 9th,
at 3 O'Clock, conducted by Rev. c. E.
Mason, with singing by the Congre-
gational choir, Mrs. Briegleb, Miss
Bunk, Mr.. Norell and Mr.. Sessions,
Mrs. Stewart organist.
In recognition of Mr.. Tanners of
fetal position the city officials at
tended in body, gentlemen, Harmon,
Goodall, Johnson, Horgan, Ticknor,
Anderson, Shoenecke, Tye. A large
number of citizens were present, a
small portion of whom could get into
the house, Banks of cut flowers in
pillow, crescent and bouquets covered
the casket
Gentlemen House, Whitson, Gaines
Stevens, Goddard and Evans served
as pallbearers, and brief services
were held at the cemetery. General
sympathy goes out to the relatives
in their bereavement.

George Worthington, alias Claude
E. Worthington, who as a book agent
eanpaased Boise citizens last August,
was apprehended Thursday evening
At ogden by officers from the United
Statas department of Justice. Worth

b. the Bureau OF National Litera-
ture at New York city,
The orders were taken, it is said
upon tae information that the funds
received were to go to the Red Cross
and other worthy war causes Thus
appealed to ON patriotic grounds
those solicited promptly subscribed
until inquiries were made through a
Boise bank which rsulted in the
federal officers being notified on
January 10, and Thursday the man
was run down in Ogden, after his
trail had been followed through
0Wyhee county and Nevada
Worthington was taken into Gus
tody last November in Boise by the
police, in company with an assist
ant travelling under the name Of
Hag8 and they were forced to refund
the money taken from Boise resi-
dents during their operations here,
and then ordered from the city. He
represented himself to be a govern
ment official when operating in
Boise. After his departure there
We're two cases that came to light,
but these victims were TOO late to
receive their reimbursements, as the
eauYasser was on his way to parts
unknown by the time their cases
we're reported
Tie later was heard from in Owy-
hee county where he sold an order
for $126 to a stockman of Murphy,
and another set OF books for a like
amount to Bruneau resident These
men finally became suspicious of their
contracts and inquired of their Boise
banker to learn the validity of their
transactions
The correspondence was turned
over to P. E. Marrinan of the United
states department of Justice at Boise,
and the lines were thrown out that
uetted the book agent. Marrinan
st once ordered payment stopped on
the two checks for 1925 each. and
believes he has just saved these pa
tirotic citizens that amount of money.
Those buying the books said thy
1id 80 with the understanding that
they We're furthering the cause of
the United States, in the amounts
they gave and not because they
needed the literature They were led
TO beliece they said, that the pur-
bases Of he books were looked up
ou as a compulsory war donation,
and those who refused to purchase
would be listed as slackers and
pikers.
