Suit Filed In District Court
The Western Loan and Savings Com
panv of Salt Lake City has entered suit
in the District Court against \V . D. and
Clara A. Wagner and Harry E. Barker

The company in

getically some three years ago, and has
been doing a large building and loan
business in sothern Idaho ever since.
They appointed representatives in most
of the larger Idaho towns and sold a
great nunvber of their certificates, both
on the building and loan plans. De
fendants in the present suit live at King
Hill and gave a prior lien to the com
pany bn their property for the sum of
$2536.97, in which sum the plaintiffs
claim judgment, with intesest from
August of last year. The property in
question is in Owyhee County.
According to the Nampa Record, Asa
Baldwin, the Wennersten magnate, spent

That Jim Daly wouldn't sell his bobs
Saturday. Wonder why?
That Lute Gardner stopped hauling
flour and potatoes Sunday long enough
to enjoy the bobbing with the other kids.
That they got in a good one on Lawyer
Williams Saturday night. It appears
that Silver's limb of the law wanted to
get a bob sled. Ha wentinto Mike Rock's
to borrow one. Ole Bachelor offered to
loan him his, an offer gratefully accepted
until P. C. discovered the loan involved
the use of one of the big freighter bobs.
That John Connors is squealing about
that rheumatism again. Better go on a
bread and water diet, John, and attend

Empowered To Do Anything
The certificate of incorporation of the
| Southern Idaho Light, Heat and Power
| Company was filed in Owvhee County
| this week.
This is the big concern that it is rum
ored will eventually become a light,
heat and power trust. The concern is
incorporated at Portland, Maine, and
the capital stock is twenty million dol
lars, twelve and a half millions in com
mon and seven and a half preferred
stock. Clarence E. Eaton of Portland,
Maine, is credited witn 13 shares, ten
other people from the same town are
incorporators with one share apiece and
the articles state that there are 125
thousand shares of common and 75
thousand shares of preferred unsubscrib
ed and unissued. The filing in Silver
City was made at the request of Richards
and Haga, the Boise attorneys.
The powers of the new company are
very broad, giving opportunity to do al
most anything except a banking or trust
business, which is expressly forbidden.
The articles cover the manufacture of
electric current for light, heat and pow
er purposes; the acquirement and sale
of water rights ; to build reservoirs and
dams, erect power plants, operate pole
lines, build municipal water and gas
and garbage reduction plants, acquire
real estate, issue and guarantee bonds
and other things too numerous to men
tion.
The newly organized company has ac
quired the Swan Falls power properties,
which were recently transferred to the
Kuhn interests. It is evident that the
organization is a sort of holding company
for a big merger.
