Twin Falls business men know a good

reason when the Townsite company on
Monday of this week made reduction
sale, the men were there hot-footed for
b~xgains. During the entire day and

pouring ina2' the Office to look over the
remaining BAY gains in dirt. Two busi-
ness men keen for Investment bought tiv
lots on Main street for the small first
payment of 1915 and many others were
equally fortunate in getting lots in good
locations for small rise above the first
price set on them when the town was
but planned.
One of the best features of the sale
was that large number of people made
purchases for the purpose of building
permanent homes and will help to make
Twin Falls more citified this year. The
lots sold near the new school will in less
than year be in demand fol- twice the
sums asked for them this week, and
men holding them will reap a harvest

course of the day was about $50 900

SOMETHING OF AN
ENGINEERING FEAT
Bridge Below Shoshone Falls
Would be a Marvel.
Narrow Point Across Canyon Would
Require Longest Span in this Coun-
try. Would Insure Fine View.

BY long odds 1.-The most spectacular
engineering work projected by the COM
pany, even more than the taking of a
great river like either of the big canas
out of the steep canyon and spreading
it over the thirsty laud. is the proposed
bridge across Snake river at the Sho-
shone falls.
just below the falls, there is vast
pool, where the waters have boiled and
eddied for ages, and Tapped away the
crags by their mad violence. But
few hundred yards down stream, the
canyon closes in again, until the cliffs
are only lbs feet apart at the top. A
line thrown straight across at this point
would be 500 feet hlgh--twice as high
as any other bridge ever built. 1t is
here that it is proposed to build a
bridge that shall carry the traveller
across the great chasm, without decend
Ing foot into the gorge. EitherIa sus-
pension span of this length, or canti-
ever or arch span somewhat less, could
be built for approximately $25O,0OO
The arch or cantilever span could be
shorter as 1t would be possible to build
the towers up from the canyon and so
shorten to possibly 800 feet the erof
mously expensive main span.
But what bridge it would be. A
spidery steel structure, almost two city
blocks above the roaring river, with
the fresh spray of the great cataract
blowing up into ones face. Spanning
the most marvellous gorge in America.
and leading from the golden fields Of
the Twin Falls section to the equally
golden fields and waving orchards OF
the North Side, it would present nature
and industry 10 their most feverish
moods in startling contrast. Such
bridge would necessarily be built to
accommodate the electric line which
will eventually be built from Twin Falls
across to the northward, probably to
Shoshone, and would do wonders in de-
veloping the whole country. While
the bridge is not in immrdiate prospect
it is the opinion of some of the heaviest
| 6nanciers thas if made toll bridge it
could be made to pay from the first day
even if the work were started now
