Next Monday. from early morning
until the morning light of the next
morning, will be Labor Day in Twin

the stores and offices will be closed in
order to allow the employees an oppor-
tunity to celebrate the most important

at work since early in July and have
given promise of some greatly inter-
esting sports and events.
Judge X. l. Perky of Boise has con-

crowd.
A ball game in the morning and a
bucking contest in tie afternoon are

the track, and the high wind tanning
the flames thus started until the build
ings caught fire. The fire evidently be-
gan in the Mercantile store and was
burning fiercely before discovered.
The inmates of the rooming house
and residence were forced to leave
hurriedly and one man, c. Hill. lost
everything, even to a sum of money
carried in his coat pocket The post
office was situated in the Mercantile
building and it was ONLY by strenuous
efforts on the part of Harlan Fletcher
that the mail was recovered, with the
exception of the outgoing sacks. The
house of Mr. Beesmeyer, about 100 feet
south of the store building, had very
narrow escape and was badly scorched
by the intense heat. A tent has been
erected as temporary quarters for the
postoffice.
The Kimberly Mercantile building
was the property of the Norton estate
of Rock Greek, and was partially in
sured, as were the other buildings and
the stocks destroyed. Manager Brock

moved his family into the mill ware
house temporarily, while a new resi-
dence is being constructed.

in order that some private business
can be installed in this CITY, One bust
ness man put it very aptly this week
in discussing the subject, when he
said: Twin Falls is past the expert
ment stage and does not need to coax
private business enterprises to locate
here" If Twin Falls has not proven
her right to be called a fixture by it's
solid business houses and public i'm
provements, then to the man who still
has to be shown, a fiat refusal should
be given him. Twin Falls don't need
him. The business men who have al
ready located here came without bonus
and without any promises whatever
and have since coming worked out
their own destinies and struggled to-
ward better and bigger Twin Falls,
even at personal loss. Why should
these pioneer business men. through
the Commercial club which they have
supported, be asked to pave the way
and feather the nest for some other
man to come in and take the cream of
the tracts business? This, of course,
does not apply to institutions of pub
lie benefit that could not for several
years, be self-supporting. When a
sugar company, worth several millions
asks for bonus which, in comparison
to it's capital stock, is a mere drOp in
the bucket, it looks as though it was
only trying to do little grating be-
fore entering a field in which it has
already made plans to invade.
