MUCH INTEREST
IN The COMING
PRIZE Fight

There is keen interets being
manifested as TO the coming fight be-
tween Gordon and Krant and from
the reports from the outside towns
there will be record breaking at
tendance at the affair which takes
place Thanksgiving afternoon at the
Big Arena. Krant and his trainers ar
rived from Goldfeld yesterday and
the welterweight was watched by a
large number of people when he went
through his training stunts yesterday
afternoon. There was also a good
crowd to watch Jordan while he was
training and according to reports
from both sides there is no chance
for either man to lose in the contest.
The preliminary will be between
George Odell of Tonopah and Kid
Crawford of Goldfield and will start
promptly at 2 p. m. This should be
a hummer as both men are evenly
matched and it is about the first
chance that Odell has had to engage
in a contest with any one his weight.
The Big Arena will be heated and
there will be no weary wait in the
cold for the fight to start as was the
last affair there.
The seats which have been placed
on sale at theso. P. saloon and the
Big Casino are selling rapidly and
the advance sale practically predicts
crowded house.

and in the scuffle that followed the
gun was discharged and the bullet
entered the woman's breast. The
wound was a slight one and it is
thought that there will be no serious
consequences. The gunwielder was
placed under arrest by Deputy Sher-
if William Mattley, who in turn no.
titled the sheriff's Office in this city.
District Attorney P. A. McCarran
will leave for the northern camp this
morning in order to investigate the
affair.

There are number of the machines
in Goldfield which the owners think

chance to enter into good contest.

tai in the great possibilities Of fruit
raising ON the Twin Falls tract and
has organized stock comapny to
clear and set out to fruit the entire

township 10 south, range 16 east, just
a quarter of mile west of the Maroa
school house and is ideally adapted to
fruit raising.
The company has procured the SER
vices of an expert orchardist, who Is
a graduate of the department of agri-
culture and horticulture of the Cor
nell university to superintend the set
ting out and taking care OF the trees
which will commence as soon as
spring opens.
Work of getting the land into condi-
ton and the erection of necessary

cipally Jonothan apples, and raise po-
tatoes and other vegetables until the
trees begin to bear.-Filer Films.

THANKSGIVING MANIFESTO.

/ Governor Gooding mas issued the fol-
lowing Thanksgiving Day proclama-
tion:
/ The president of the United States
in accordance with custom, by procla-
nation, has named Thursday, Novem-
Der 26, 1908, as day of thanksgiving
to God.
The state of Idaho and it's people
during the past year have enjoyed a
season of continued growth and pros
perity, and today the state is probably
more largely in the eye of the business
and investing world, and is developing
more rapidly than any other of the
surrounding states. Our material we'll
being is assuredly cause for thanks
giving.
Fortunately, our blessings are not
measured alone by notable material
prosperity. AS people we have been
protected during the past year from
}pestilencs and disaster. Good health
has been our portion, and peace reigns
throughout our borders. We have
been favored SO abundantly by the AL
mighty that our hearts should go out
to Him In thanksgiving and praise.
Therefore, | now declare Thursday
November &c. 1908, day of general
thanksgiving, and request that on that
day, SO far as possible, business shall
cease, and the people shall assemble
at their various places of worship, and
there give thanks to God for His man.

STATE DEPUTY HESSE OF BOISE
INSTALLS NEW OFFICERS,
Banquet Given to Members and the
Press Proves 10 Be An Elaborate
Affair. Membership of One Hundred.

Monday was great day for the
National bird in Twin Falls, when De-
putty Grand President Con w. Hesse
and party arrived from Boise to or
ganize lodge of the Fraternal Order
OF Eagles. The party was met at the
depot on the arrival of the train by
those who had charge of getting up
the organization and the Twin Falls
band. and formed in line headed by the
band, marched to the K. P. hall where
the ceremonies were to take place in
the evening. During the afternoon the
gentlemen were taken about the city
and given taste of Twin Falls hospi-
tality.
At eight o'clock the officers, fledg-
ltngs and invited guests to the number
OF $50, sat down to as sumptuous a
banquet as was ever given in the city
and to say that all did full justice to
the spread is putting it very mildly
indeed. When the cigars had been past
around, DR.. w. F. Pike was introduced
as toastmaster and he soon had every
one in the hall in high good humor by
his witty remarks. The POSTMASTER
| called upon Geo. B. Fraser for the ad-
dress of welcome, who spoke for
Mayor Fred A. Voigt, the mayor be-
ing detained at his Office on important
business. Mr.. Fraser in a few well
chosen words welcomed the visiting
Eagles to the city and said that the
city was theirs as long as they wished
to remain. Deputy Grand Presiden
Hesse responded for the visitors ant
paid a high tribute to the city and te
the hustling people who make up the
population. He also explained the
aims and teachings of the order t6
those who were about to take the OBJ
legations. This closed the banquet ant
the hall was put in shape for the serious
business OF the evening, making
Eagles Of over 100 fledgings who were
in waiting. The Fraternal Order O.
Eagles starts out with the larges
membership of any order in the cit,
and will no doubt continue to grow
and do good in this thriving young
city.

Mr.. j. T. cambridge, Secretary Twin
Falls Commercial Club, Twin
Falls, Idaho.
Dear Sir: Referring to your letter
of November 9th with regard to the.
shipment of stock yard scales at Twin,
Falls, you will probably remember
that in acknowledging receipt OF your
letter few days ago l advised YOU
that l had taken the matter up with
Mr.. G. l. Tuttle, assistant general
freight agent at Salt Lake.
AS | understand it, the stock yards
are on the main line at Twin Falls at
the present time which is a very un--
desirable place for them, and there is.
no question but that in the near fu--
ture they will be moved. Therefore,
do not think it would be advisable to-
put scales in the yards at the present
time.
! am not in favor of the company
furnishing scales for any of our stock
yards as | believe that some of the
shippers should put the scales in
themselves and charge outsiders a
reasonable amount for Weighing their
stock; in doing this, they get good in
terest on the investment. If the COM
pany put them in, they are every
body's property, and if there are any
complaints regarding the scales being
incorrect, the company is considered
1T fault.
You understand that we can issue
regular lease to some one for the pur-
pose of installing scales.
| would like to hear from you fur
ther, please.
Yours truly,

CHAS. NJ. HILL OF THIS CITY, RE-
ELECTED PRESIDENT.
Governor GOOding ROasts Short Line
and Threatens Plaisted With Arrest
Ii Lobbying Is Done ut Legislature.

Nampa, Nov. 1.-THE convention of
the League of Southern Idaho Com
mercial cubs closed here this after
noon amid blaze of enthusiasm for
greater Idaho. A new constitution and
bylaws was adopted, providing for
more intimate association In the Or
ganization by it's individual members
under which campaign is to be In
augurated to secure the affiliation of
those towns and cities not already rep
resented.
Governor F. R. Gooding, with a
ringing speech in which he assa1led
the Oregon Short line and its officials,
carried the railroad commission forces
to victory by an overwhelming ex-
preston of sentiment, although up un-
til the time of the morning session 1T
had looked as If the question was very
much in. doubt. Payette, Nampa and
Pocatello stood loyalty against any re-
solution declaring specifically for a
railway commission even though cou-
pied to a public utility clause, until
the final ditch, when they Joined the
other clubs, making the vote unani-
nous. Other matters of current I'M

serves so as to promote rather than
retard the lumber, mining and grazing
interests; asking the opposition OF
Idaho members of congress to the par
eel post scheme; discussion Of the re-
cent ruling of the interior department
affecting the settlers on the Minidoka
project; advocating the unionizing OF
school districts for high school pur-
poses, and favoring the Improvement
of highways.
After the resolutions committee had
wresteled nearly all night with the
various questions its members were
still unprepared to report when the
morning session convened, owing to
the fact that some of them were hav-
ing the document typewriter. Other
matters, including the report of Chair
man G. r. Shaw OF the traffic COM
mittee and the committee on bylaws
and constitution, were taken up in the
meantime.
Chairman F. E. Allen of the resolu-
tions committee appeared just in time
to prevent a lull in the business be-
fore the convention. President Hill
of Twin Falls announced the report
was in order and the chairman pro-
ceeded with it's reading.

once ana Mf. Alien na1 no sooner m
ished the final paragraph than dozen
delegates were on their feet seeking
recognition. A motion was made and
supported for the adoption of the re-
solutions as presented. A. B. Moss
of Payette moved to amend the motion
SO as to permit action upon the var
ious sections one at time. A di-
vision resulted over the amendment,
the vote standing % to 20 in its ia
vOr.
The first seven resolutions were
passed by unanimous accord. Section
s was read as follows: THAT the lea
que lend it's assistance towards the
passage of law providing for the ap-
pOintment of railroad and public
utility commission"
A. E. Carlson of Boise moved that
the words "and public utility" be
stricken out. This amendment was
under discussion when Mr. Carlson
upon the consent of his second. with
drew the motion. D. w. Church of
Pocatello made motion that the
words docs not be inserted before
the word lend" which was not sup
ported by second.
A. B. Moss of Payette stated he be-
lieved that the league should favor
those things which were of greatest
benefit to all the people of the state
not just to the shippers alone. II see
no reason why the railroads should be
singled out, and move to amend that
the word railroad be stricken from
the resolution in that a public utility
commission would have jurisdiction
over these lines of transportation" he
said. This motion was seconded by
Mr.. Church, who stated his opposition
to the commission because he believed
1t would retard the development of
the state. II see no crying need for a
commission to hamper the railroads at
this time," he said "This movement
is apparently directed against the Ore
gon Short Line Railway company,
which has made 1t possible for thou
sands upon thousands of settlers to
better their conditions by coming to
Idaho. l must oppose commission
in that it would seriously interfere
with further railway construction in
Idaho"
Governor Gooding who has been
foremost in the fight for commission
closed the argument against the
amendment as proposed He said: II
see no good reason why we should shy
at the word railroad We are not
shying at public utility commission
