PROFESSOR FILES KICK
ON ELECTRIC SERVICE

Complaint has been filed with the
public utilities commission at Boise by
@. Hoff, of Whitebird, against the
Whitebird Electric Light & Power Co.,
charging the company with poor but
expensive service. The complaint ask
ed that an investigation be made.
Aching eyes and headaches COM
planned of by school children were at
tributed by Mr.. Hor TO thS poor light
they are forced to use IN the schools.
The commission took the complaint I'M
der Amusement. Mr.. Hoff is superin-
tendent of schools at Whitebird.
Reports to the commission in Deem
Der, 1920, show that the company
serves 162 people. Electric current is
supplied from a 20-kilowatt generator
operated by water power. A compar-
ison of rates charged by the company
with rates in Boise shows them to be
nearly the same, with the Whitebird
rate a little higher.

November IL throughout the
world is now considered the day
for celebrating the close Of the last
great war which for time
threatened to plunge civilization
into archaic chaos and utter ruin.
The observance Of tbs day also
wildly brings to our minds the
sacrifices made for me preserva-
ton of all we hold dear by the
heroic men of America, many of
whom gave the last full measure
of devotion.
1t is in keeping with the spirit
of loyal citizens in treasuring the
memories of the immortal needs OF
our patriots to set aside one day
in order to impress our minds with
the great accomplishments Of all
who labored to bring the recent
conflict to a successful conclusion.
This day should be one of rejoicing
for victory; prayer for the boys
who did not come back and thanks
to Almighty God for his many
blessings.
Since November IL falls this
year on Sunday and since the ma
tional American legion has set
Monday, November II, as the day
for observing Armistice day, I
deem it meet to follow that ex-
ample.
Now, therefore, /, @. Q. Moore,
by virtue of the authority vested
in me as governor, do hereby pro-
claim Nov. IL, 1923, holiday in
the state of Idaho, and do ear
nestly recommend that all people
