Making Its Customers Partners.

The Idaho Power Company is con-
Quoting a publicity campaign having
for its object the establishing of
partnership relation with its many
customers by the sale to them of its
preferred stock, In this way sharing
bringing about the better co-opera-
ton and effort necessary In building
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 1t
serves. which covers practically all of
Southern Idaho, where this company
owns various water power plants and
distributes power to more than co.
900 customers. The unusually high
rate of dividend, per cent per an
mum, coupled with the fact that 1t Is
paid in quarterly installments, makes
the preferred stock of the Idaho
Power Company popular as an In
vestment with the large investor
as we'll as with those of modest
means. Stock can be bought for cash
or on an easy payment plan.
To quote from an interview with
one of the representatives of the
| company, the principal idea Is to en-
courage cooperation by creating the
intimate relation of partnership be-
tween the company and its custom
ers This will result in larger ex-
penditure in the home territory
where money viii be paid to our To-
cal people as dividends and larger
amounts expended for wages, taxes
| and material and supplies, all oil
which in turn, under the influence OF
| greater cooperative effort by the 10.
cal people and the company, assist IN
developing Southern Idaho. Electric
utility companies are essential to tho
country in peace times as well a:
necessary In war times. There is ne
substitute for the services which they
sell that will not. In comparison. be
wasteful of men, money and materi
ais, and no force so potent and mes
essary in the upbuilding of the coun
try, all of which responsibilities
should be shared by all of the ele
ments in the community.
The company will receive orders
for stock at any of it's various Offices
throughout the territory served b.
it. and by any Of its various employ
ees who are in position to give in
formation about the stock.

Grand View.

The Rest Room.-During the past
year, Jerome has grown until 1t is
hard to recognize the same old
place, so many new buildings, both
business houses and residences being
built. New enterprises have been
started and many new faces are to
be seen on the streets every day of
the week But of all the improve
ments and additions to our town of
which we are duly appreciative the
one most enjoyed and appreciated by
the ladies and mothers of the outly-
ing districts is the women's rest
room and library. This is run by
the Civic Club of Jerome with the
assistance of the country clubs and
any other contributions that may
come in to the treasurer Every lady
on the tract is invited to make this
place her headquarters while In town
Mrs. Griffith is always at home to
all visitors and a more delightful
homelike rest room would be hard
to find Many of the country ladies'
who are interested in the Red Cross
knitting will ride into town with their
husbands and stay at the rest room
and knit for an hour or more while
the men folks are attending to bust
ness down town. In this way they
get to visit with friends and at the
same ime lose little time at their
work. Mothers who are closely con-
fined to their homes with small
children enjoy getting out so much,
but do not like to stay on the streets
or In the stores waiting for the men.
While here they feel at home and are
easily found when the time comes to
go home. There are many new COM
ers who, maybe, have not heard OF
this enterprise, but who knowing
of it would enjoy it greatly. The
ro m is on East Main street on the
north side of the street and once you
have visited 1t you will be sure to APP
preciate its conveniences in the fu-
ture.

FOR THE, NEW YEAR

While the year which has just closed did not bring all of the things to us which we looked for as town, 1t has nevertheless not been an entirely unsuccessful one. We have progressed instead of retrogressed, and we have before us today brighter future than ever before.
 It is, however, true that our progress may not be as rapid as would be the case under more favorable circumstances. It will De just as sure and eventually as great as Ii conditions were not against us. The very fact that certain phases are unfavorable should only stir Us to greater efforts.
 In looking at the activities which prom lse prosperity for another year, one natural ly thinks first of the government railroad, ac- tual construction of which starts between Fairbanks and Nenana during the coming sea- son, if all plans go through, which is almost certain. There Is not much doubt that by another winter we shall have tapped an al most unlimited source of cheaper tuel which will give a renewed life to the mining indus try in this district.
 The Alaska Road commission will probably continue its beneficial work in and around the camp. This is by no means the least of our sources of added greatness.
 A new source of assistance, added to our list since last New Year, is the local Mining Experiment Station. This should be of great value to miners and prospectors throughout the district, and give an added impetus to hitherto unWorked and unknown mineral re- sources During the coming year, the tung- sten industry ot the camp bids fair to grow into appreciable size. Farmers will experi- ence more prosperity than ever before, on ac- count of a greatly increased demand for theii products.
 Only serious labor shortage can ma terially affect our chances for great busi- ness year. As far as it lies within our power all should strive to prevent such an occur renee. Under the best of circumstances the demand for workrnen is going to prove great CT than the supply. We must do with what we have and make it go as far as possible and when we cast balance at the end of another twelve months we are sure to have passed another prosperous year.

1t will waste no time repining over the "jug of wine" it loses tonight, and it will be con- tented with tonight while it fingers For it admits the possible good in all things, and finds nothing entirely wrong save foolish regrets.
 But to the final class, after tonight there is no promise of Life held out All existence assumes drab color, with no high spots, no bright tints to break the monotony of the parched desert, nor familiar landmarks to lay ones cofrse. Hours will perforce be sounded off by the strokes of the clock instead of by the number of drinks It is true that the future will surely have pleasant sur prises for them, but it is not expected that it sees this in the first shock of losing its di- vinity
 It must go and its last hours will prob ably be made memorable. Tonight is the big night. Tonight John Barleycorn dies in AL aska, and if the obsequies which follow, or maybe precede, the death, call for more than usual observance, let's join with the mourn CTS in making the ''wake" a real one. "A word to the wise," etc.
 And in the observance of these last sad rites, let Us not forget that there is a big dance in progress. It is given for worthy cause. The management is not trying to make money for itself alone, but for patriotic purposes. The ball should be we'll patronized, while we make the most of what we yet may spend' preparing for the morrow when we may be sans Wine, sans Song, sans Singer and--sans End"

 KILL AMERICAN
Associated press,


 MARTA. Tex, Jan. 3.-One Am erican and two Mexicans were killed Christmas night by Mexican raiders at an American ranch thirty-flve miles southwest of here. The mill. tary headquarters here received this report tonight. which was brought by a special messenger The Mexi- cans raided Britt's ranch and killed an American cowboy and two Mexi- can workmen on the place.
 The American border patrol which was near the scene of the raid ar rived too late to engage the bandits, but immediately set out in pursuit. The raiders had several hours start and succeeded in crossing the border ahead of the American cavalrymen The troopers crossed the borderline, and at the time the messenger was dispatched to headquarters were still pursuing the marauders
 Additional reports are expected be- fore morning, as the Americans were gaining rapidly on the Mexicans. and it Is believed that they will succeed in overriding them.

COAL RIOTERS
 RAID CARS IN RAILWAY YARD
Associated PressJ

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 3.-Ex- tensive coal riots broke out in some sections of this city today, which were with difficulty controlled by the police. One mob of several hundred men, women and children, tEinly clad and pinched with cold, raided a train of loaded coal cars standing on railway siding In one of the Penn sylvania Railroad yards and carried off more than 15O tons of fuel.
 Every railroad. detective in the city was called to the scene. but they were powerless to prevent the rioters from filling sacks with coal. while other rioters battled with the detectives. A riot call was turned in and a large number of police re- serves were rushed to the scene and finally succeeded in restoring order. No arrests were made.
 The fuel situation in this city is causing some nufforins among the poorer classes which the community is powerless to end until a larger supply of coal can be received. The national fuel administration is rush ing every ounce of fuel which can be loaded to the most seriously threatened points.
