combat the payment Of taxes. We
understand that the Twin Falls
company Is setting itself up as

interest of the people, and the Fl. L.
Brandt and H. A. Partridge, form-
erly Of Nampa, have settled in
Twin Falls.

There is suspicion that the con-
gregation must number among its
members some anti-scalping railroad
men. The action of the Seattle
divine shows the belief that it i.

shows that other than tramps sucl
