Twin Falls Settlers Object
to Receiving Big Ditch
and Releasing the
Company.

Judge Walters and Stenographer
Barstow came up from Twin Falls the
first of the week to spend Christmas at
home with their families. They went
back this morning to finish up the pres
ent term of court in Twin Falls county.
The most important business of the
session is the case wherein a protest is
filed against the Twin Falls company
turning over the canal to the settlers
operating company. The engineering
board, made up of representatives from
the state and the settlers, agreed that
the work had been satisfactorily done,
but later protest was filed, and the
court is asked to hear the matter 1t
is alleged that the constructing company
has not yet complied with all the con-
tracts to make the system what it
should be before giving it over to the
settlers. Once accepted, the settlers
will be entirely responsible for defects,
repairs, or any unfinished work.

HOMEGROWN POULTRY NIL.
ShOShOne Hath no Charms for
Dusky Chicken Hunters.

Christmas would hardly have beer
Christmas this year in Shoshone but
for the importation of enough chickens,
turkeys, geese, ducks and other birds
to go around and make the Christmas
dinner.
Chickens were imported from almost
every point of the compass where there
were wise and prudent people who
knew that chickens were profitable
They weren't too proud to be seen
going out to the hennery in the morn
ing, with a call between a chirp and a
cluck, to feed the fowls that pay the
rent. They weren's so much better
pleased with a roost on a street corner
than they were with a seat on top of a
good wagon load of marketable poultry,
that they wouldn't look after the in
cubator and the brooder, whether It
was a wooden hen or just a common
hen with croaky voice and an insat-
liable appetite for worms. They were
more interested in keeping the hen
house dry than they were in the Pacific
fleet, or the tariff on pearl buttons.
That's why they had chickens to sell
to Shoshone buyers at prices that looked
like the birds had feathers of silver
and diamond eyes.

to wait for them. So there you are. 3"
And here he is as well.
Mr.. Reed drove down 70 jerome to
spend Christmas with Mr.. and Mrs. J.
NJ. Hale. One would have thought

paign, Or a six months dash for the
North Pole, TO see the quantity Of good
things he gathered together for the
occasion. 1t looked ike the complete
catalogue Of a wholesale provision

The Major says that American Falls
is IN fair way to secure a wooien mill,
which viii be big institution and one
that should be peculiarly profitable and
for Idaho. The great Ore

posed deal. Ninety-one lots We're sold

HAULING MACHINERY.
Long Trains of Material for North
Side Canal Work.

J. C. Milligan, in charge Of the work
here for the Grant Construction com
pany, started Tuesday with a large
number Of teams to haul out the ma
chinery to the Twin Falls North Side
canal construction camps. There were
number Of elevating graders, dump
wagons, plows. track for railroad that
is to be laid for carrying the rock away
from the big cuts, and the full outfit
Of material. A large force Of men is
employed in the teamster department
which is placing the material where it
is needed
A number Of gasoline engines were
taken oct TO be used to run the dyna-
mos that win light the construction
camps. It is the practice Of the com
pany TO install these little, portable
electric light outfits wherever they es-
tablish camps, as they give the most
and the best light for given cost, and
are very convenient.
The company expects to work all
winter at such portions of the work as
can be proftably done through the
cold season. When spring comes real
army of men viii be employed, crowd
ing the work in every line to the
utmost limit.

SLAVES IN MAIL SERVICE.
Holidays Not Welcomed by Over
worked Postal Clerks.

Christmas time brings good cheer to
most of the world, but to the hard
working employees of the postal service
it is time of drudgery, unrelieved by
any but the most altruistic idea of do
ing good for others. For it is a long
ways the hardest season of their whole
hard year.
Postmaster Brown gives some little
insight into the work that piles up on
the railway mail service. One of the
postal clerks who came through here
this week had to come to the Shoshone
office for some blank supplies, he hav-
ing exhausted all the printed supplies
he had on the car. He said, incident
ally, that he had 1900 registered pack
ages on his car at that time, besides all
that had been delivered and would yet
be put on between here and Portland.
1t would take every minute of his time
between here and Portland to enter all
these in his registry book, without
touching another piece of mail, or TAX
ing bite of food or wink of sleep
and there would still be other packages
left unrecorded. Yet he was supposed
to do all this and look pleasant, like
wedding couple at the photographers
A package of registered parcels was
put off here, last week, sent from New
York city, and addressed to Albany,
New York k-not two hours run from
the metropolis. Yet they came almost
across the continent. and stopped at
little sage brush town, to be returned
to their destination. There were also
three registers from New York city to
Troy. y. Y: three other packages for
New York points, and one from Mich
igan to Arizona. 1t maywell be doubt
ed whether the mail clerks nominally
for their temporary loss
have as yet caught up with their rec (
5rds so as to know that they have gone
astray.
Business in the local Office has been (
such as to warrant the belief that the I
country is not perishing for lack Of .
enough money to buy Christmas pres
snts and pay the postage on them to .
heir destination.

CUT OUT RED TAPE.
Simplifying Procedure All Through
Federal Land Department.

Some importa mt changes, if not COM
plete reformations and revolutions, are
promised in the United States land
Office practice, under the administration
of Commissioner Ballinger.
Mr.. Ballinger, who came to the COM
missionership under not the most pro-
pitious circumstances, set out to find
out what was needed in the Office,
before institutiag anything of a reform.
He found red tape and inefficiency so
rampant that it was as hard for the
honest claimant to get his rights as it
was easy for the knowing dishonest
man to get what were not his rights.
He has begun to lop off the useless and
foolish practices, the excrescences OF
red-tapeism, and is making the whole
system such as would prevail in a
modern business establishment, where
an ounce of efficiency is worth bar
rel of whiskered routine or impractical
theory. For instance. an order has
Just been issued to call in all The old
forms of applications fer homestead ail'-
other land entries, and to use new
series to be put in use March j, 1908
These new applications are made up
from all the old ones and will cut out
from two to six of the papers formerly
required to be sworn to before one
could get anything that looked like
official authority to own piece OF
government land
A. I. McNahon, register Of the Hal
ley land Office, says that the proposed
new changes in methods will work
very great saving in time and money
10 the department as well as to the
claimant. The same line Of reform is
to 90 through the whole land depart
ment.

A Night Light.

In the country house where oil fur
nishes the light it is often desirable
to have a light burning all night-a
low light free from all odors. A good
way to have it is to hang lantern
from hook screwed into the bottom
of an upper window sash on the out
side, then bow the shutters so as to
shield the lantern from winds and the
rain and fasten them with hooks and
screw eyes SO they cannot be driven
against the lantern. The light inside
can be regulated by raising or lower
ing the shade, and there is neither
heat nor odor and no danger of acct
dents. In windows where there are
no shutters light box may be used
to cover the lantern, allowing the edge
or top of the box to touch the pane in
the window and fastening it t the
sash in a variety Of ways.

The Olympic Pan Roast.

In the Delineator for January, Ia
coma, Wash, writer signing herself
"K. E. NJ" says: There is small
restaurant on the Pacific coast that
has gained worldwide renown for the
service of a dish that is called an
Olympic pan roast. AS it's name
would imply, the oyster is the basis
of it's construction, and while there
are many western epicures who insist
that this concoction cannot be made
properly without the use Of the tiny
Puget Sound bivalves, those who have
been compelled, through force of cir
cumstances, to depend upon some 9TH
er small oyster are ready to insist
quite as strongly that the substitution
can scarcely be detected. The cook
need have no fear, therefore, so long
as the oysters are the smallest that
can be procured. If quart OF the BIZ
valves are to be used they must first
be drained. A little of the oyster IL
quor is then placed in stew pan,
with one cupful of tomato catsup, two
tablespoonfuls of Worcestershire
sauce, a teaspoonful OF walnut catsup
and two tablespoonfuls of butter that
has previously been creamed with one

This is dish that is very good for

The Appetite of the Child.

The Appetite of the Child.
Children that have good health and
plenty of exercise in the open air nat
urally are great eaters. Parents
should remember that a big appetite
in growing boy is a proof of the
child's need for a large amount of
food in order to preserve perfect health
and supply the constant demand on the
system by the development that is 60
ing on in the body. Perhaps at no
time during a persons life is there
greater need of much care in the Sc
lection and preparation of foods than
during the years when the body is
making development 1t is then that
the body needs the best and most suit
able foods to make the best growth
Children like simple, plain dishes
Why not give them simply prepared
foods, then be sure that the same foods
are not used too often or the child
will revolt and refuse to eat. Bread
and milk have a delicious taste and
an inviting appearance to the average
hungry boy or girl, and this topped
off with juicy apple, banana or or
ange, or a handful of nuts makes a
meal which is amply suitable for a
breakfast for the ordinary boy or girl.
Do not hurry a child while he is
eating. Allow him reasonable time
He does not like to be crowded and
is not likely to masticate his food
very we'll if hurried. Do not crowd
a heavy course dinner onto any child
His stomach is not equal to the task
Of digesting it properly and the child
himself is often heard to refuse from
one to three courses at dinner. Why?
Because he has learned to like the
simple things best, but has not learned
why he should prefer them.
The child with no appetite is most
often the one who from baby days has
not been compelled to eat good bread
and butter and milk. Such an one has
lost the best part of childhood days,
hearty appetite. Keep the simple foods
before all children. Teach them to
prefer fruit, nuts and bread and milk
to heavy meats and poorly prepared
vegetables. When meats and vege-
tables are given, see that they are
properly prepared. Do not have the
meat floating in fat and cooked until
it is dry and leathery. Have the veg
etables dressed with butter and milk
whenever possible.
