FRANCHISE FOR
THE ELECTRIC
Application Was lade at Tuesday's
Council Meeting.
ROAD WILL BE BUILT SEEMS ASSURED
Messrs. Randolph and Thomp
son Securing Terminals.
G. W. Thompson, of Lewiston,
a director of the Lewiston & South
eastern Electric Railway company,
and one of the trustees who are
responsible for the encouraging
position in which the prospect is
today and also one of the best finan
cial representatives of the road,
accompanied by F. J. Randolph,
secretary of the company, were in
the city the first of the week on
very important business. They
came here direct from Nez Perce,
where they spent several days in
the interests of the line. They re
port very encouraging prospects at
Nez Perce, stating to a Free
Press representative that terminal
grounds and the necessary right-of
way had been secured there. The
gentlemeu, at the council meeting
Tuesday night, presented an appli
cation for a franchise to enter the
city with the electric liue. A spe
cial meeting of the council is calied
for tonight at which time action
will be taken on this matter. It is
expected the franchise will he
granted.
There are several routes in pros
pect, though the favored one Beems
to be to enter the city near the
Orangeville Brewing Co. plant and
proceed along Main street to Ather
ton's blacksmith shop, after which
a loop will be made and return out
on the hill along South street.
The gentlemen will go back over
the same road they came and finish
up some minor details in regard to
the granting of rights-of-way be
tween here and Nez Perce. In the
original agreement with E. Cowper
thaite, who will probably finance
the road, the trustees were to ob
tain terminal grounds and rightB
of-way and it is upon this mission
that Messrs. Thompson and Ran
dolph are in this section.

DR. S. E. BIBBY DEAD.
Veteran Physician Coes to His
Final Rest.
Dr. S. E. Bibby, one of the best
known physicians in the state, died
at his home in this city last Friday
morning, after a short illness, at
the age of 58 years. The funeral
was held Sunday from the Odd
Fellows hall, and the high esteem
in which he was held was shown
by the largest attendance of citi
zens ever gathered on a like occas
ion in this city. The Masonic, K.
of P. and W. O. W. lodges and the
national guard officiated. Follow
ing is a tribute to the memory of
the deceased doctor from the pen
of A F. Parker:
The very large number of people
from all over Camas Prairie and
Salmon river who attended the
funeral of the late Dr. Bibby, on
Sunday last, has led many of our
late comers to ask: What man
ner of man was this who was held
in such high esteem by so many
people?
In an intercourse extending over
twenty years I can Btate that if
any oue trait in his character pre
dominated it was his sympathetic
kindness to his patients of every
degree. In years past I have many
times accompanied Dr. Bibby in
his drives all over this great coun
try as he made the rounds of his
patients, and had opportunities to
observe the nnfaiiing kindness of
his great heart toward the suffer
ing who came ander bis charge.
And the fact that many of hie
patients did not bave a dollar in
the world and never expected to
be able to repay him for bis services
mattered not to the worthy doctor.
Rich or poor, the financial condi
tion of his patients made no differ
ence with him. In the practice of
all medical men a large percentage
of their practice is never paid for
and is charged np to charity with
out ostentation or remark. In the
early days when money was scarce
to a degree undreamed of nowa
days, and people without a dollar
were trying to establish homes in
the wilderness, Dr. Bibby had an
unusually large share of this class
of practice which, to hie everlast
ing credit, he attended with the
same earnest zeal, through fair
weather and foul, jnst as though
his fees were already in his hands,
I have known him to take a flask
of wine and little delioaaies to each
people, and toys to keep the chil
dren amused, when I knew, and
he himself knew, that he would 1

?
!
never get a dollar of repayment.
In theee long drives I had ample
opportunity to get acquainted with
Dr. Bibby. He was an omnivor
ous reader with a very retentive
memory, and he wm unusually
well posted in all the domains of
literature, history, the sciences,
the arts, politics and philosophy.
Metaphysics also attracted him.
His speculations extended into the
.unknown and unknowable. He
held a firm belief in the immor
tality of the soul, and I well recall
the far-away look in his eyes as he
recited the Btanza from Heine:
"From the ravages of life and its riot
What marvel I yearn for the quiet
Which bides in the harbor at last;
For the lights with their welcoming quiver
That throb o'er the sanctlAed river
Which girdles the harbor at last—
The heavenly harbor at last."
On another occasion he quoted:
If I must die, I will, encounter
darkness as a bride, and hng it in
mine arms." His thoughts ran
largely to these matters, but in his
professional intercourse they did
not appear. He attended my own
family through births, marriages
and deaths, and we always found
him the skilful physician, wise
counsellor and good friend down
to almost his last hour.
<f
Dr. Bibby was possessed of a
magnificent physique and fine con
stitution, but latterly his health
was greatly impaired through the
exposure to the elements brought
about by long years of practice
scattered over a vast area, and his
professional career of late was con
fined almost exclusively to office
practice. He was always neigh
borly, genial and generous to a
thought, aud the high esteem in
which he was held throughout this
county was attested by the mag
nificent attendance from far and
near when the last sad obsequies
over the remains were held. No
other individual in this county has
had or will have such a large con
course of sorrowing mourners as
the late Dr. Bibby. He was laid
to rest on a lovely Sabbath day on
the sunny knoll where his feet used
to walk, by the Masonic fraternity,
of which he was a devoted member,
and as the mortal remains of this
good man were lowered into the
grave we thought
"Of faithful service rendered:
Duties done in charity,
Kind speech and stainless thought."

COMPANY INCORPORATED AT $50,000
Promoters Enthusiastic Over
Present Outlook.
Thun. B. Snyder, United States
commissioner at Meadows, and
president of the Meadows-Warren
ttoosevelt telephone company, was
in town the first of ehe week on
business connected with the tele
phone liue. Mr. Snyder's com
pany is incorporated for $50,000
and has arranged to bnild telephone
lines from Meadows to Roosevelt,
from Meadows to Van Wyck and
from Meadows to Orangeville. Mr.
Snyder was accompanied here by
J. O. Levander, the merchant
prince of Goff, whose influence in
encouraging any public enterprise
is much appreciated. It is the
hopes of the company to purchase
the present White Bird line. Fail
iug in this they will construct an
independent line from Meadows to
Orangeville. A good substantial
liue will be installed, capable of
standing against all kinds of hard
weather and other elements that
make life weary for any lioemau.
The company now has wires in
operation from Resort to Meadows
by way of Lardo and Payette lakes
and for a distance of 15 miles this
side of Meadows to the Round Val
ley, and 28 miles from Goff, 10
which place construction will be
complete in about three weeks.
The company has received $3,350
from the sale of Btock subscribed
between Meadows and Goff and the
gentlemen anticipate at least a like
amount will be subsetibed between
Goff and White Bird. The gentle
men while here received much en
couragement from our cititizens
and the line, if constructed, will
connect with another independent
line, owned by Boise people, at
Van Wyck. From there to Lardo
the poles are set and the wire al
ready on the ground.

BASKET BALL.
23 to IO In Favor of Y. M. C. A
Team.
Twenty-eight to ten was the offi
cial score given oat at the close of
the basket ball game at the Y. M.
C. A. gymnasium Friday night
The Y. M. C. A. team and the
high school team contested, the
larger end of the score being cred
The Y. M.
ited to the former.
G. A. aggregation was composed of
Messrs. Thing, Hanna, Skinner,
Van Wert and Wylde
and Thing were easily the stars of
the team, of both teams in fact,
their playing being well up to the
professional standard. Of the high
school Brown and Eames did the
best work, although all the mem
bers of the team played well. They
were playing against better trained
and much more experienced players
is the cause to which their defeat is
attributed. Prof. Cbas. Greenough,
of the high school, refereed the
contest. Another game is to be
played at the gynasinm tomorrow
night when the boys from the high
school claim that things will be
different. They received their new
uniforms the first of the week and
will appear in these for the first
time. A good contest is assured.
