pany, constructed the original works.
which were placed in operation in
1912. the entire output Of the plant
being sold to the company already
supplying the only available fields Of
service.
In the construction Il was necessary
to build road down the side wall Of
the river bank about one mile in
length in order that the construction
materials and the heavy pieces OF
plant equipment could be transported
to the building site, and this was ac-
complished after overcoming the diff
ficultiss which the mind can picture.
In order 10 hold the spring waters
ard concentrate them. a concrete re-
tanning wall. nearly one-half nile in
length and about IS feet high. was
constructed along the hillside. thus
forming a forebay holding and carry
ing the body Of collected waters.
From this fo-ebay a steel penstock
conducted the water 10 the turbine
about 1ss feet below. The original
building was built Of stone blocks, a
square turret at ore end giving the
appearance from the other side Of the
Snake river Of an old feudal castle
The original equipment embraced
two 1890 horsepower turbines directly
connected 10 two 1890 kTz generators.

300 horsepower
IN 1917. the property was purchased
BY the Idaho Power company, and. in
1918. the old interconnecting line be-
tween the plant and its original juno
ton with the transmission line which
Il tapped was reconstructed to be
more in keeping with the newer stand
ards. II was in this year also that
service from the plant was delivered
TO the transmission line Of the Nevada
Power company. which supplies the
Jarbidge mining district in Nevada
with power.
During 1913 and 1920. the demands
Of service increasing rapidly. the pres
ent company enlarged and improved
the gathering system by lengthening
out the concrete retaining wall and
cementing the bottom of the conduit:
increased the capacity Of the plant by
installing one 500 horsepower turbine

ARE COYOTES WORTHLESS +?
Not For the Trappers Who So Far
Have Captured Nearly 500 IN
This County This Fall.

Since the first day of September to
November 14th. 4O5 coyotes and 10
bobcats have been turned in to the
sheriff for the bounty the state pays
on their death. Besides this bounty
the trappers are able to sell the pelts
all the way from SIS to SO each This
with the $3.50 paid by the state makes
a neat sum for the trappers.
Nelson brothers, of Besselin, so far
have the honor of turning in the most
pelts having killed this fall 1Ss coyotes
and bobcats.
Trapping for furs is becoming one
of the lucrative businesses OF the
county.

they are able to meet the payments

Voter
With the latest election n month
past and the next some two years dis
tant, the Republican administration
feels somewhat free to permit the de-
feat OF legislation which was propos-
cd largely as a bid for American negro
votes.
The resolution authorizing o loan
Of S5,0OO,OOO to Liberia. the black"
Republic IN Africa, has been shclved,
with the help OF standpat Republicans,
including Senators Watson Of Indiana,
Cameron OF Arizona. Nicholson Of
Colorado, Fernald Of Maine aad Har-
rcll OF Oklahoma.
The Dyer antl-lynching bill, which
also was used az a bait for negro votes
In the recent election. is yet on the
calendar Of the senate, having passed
tn" house last spring. There IS not
much prospect that this bin viii be
passed at the present session OF Con-
press Mt all.
When the exigencies Of tho next
presidential campaign oblice, the Re
publicans, II is expected, will devise
another legislative program designed
to attract and delude the negroes.
Meantime, since there are no votes

Liherian loan and the -lyuching
bin, they are pretty certain to be
pigoonholed indefinitely.
