married less than a year ago, because
he was not kind to her. She says now
she is sorry she ever promised to love
cherish and obey her Acknowledged hus-

Now her mother, Mrs. Lottie Trollope,
has instituted divorce proceedings in

EAGLE EYE FOR AUTOISTS.

The south park commissioners have
their eyes sharply on the motorists
right now. The edict went forth some
time ago that chauffeurs whose cars
are emitting too much smoke must be
stopped; that open mufflers must be
eliminated, and, in addition, the motor
cyclists, too, will receive warning about
their person appearance, noise-m making
and speeding.
The south park commissioners pro-
pose to impose such restrictions upon
the motorcyclists that they will be
kept off the south park boulevard sys-
tenn unless conditions are changed. The
Chicago Motorcycle club. at Its meet
ing last night, discussed this matter
and will ltakwe strenuous action to
see that the reasonable wishes of the
park commissioners are observed.

MANY BIG FIRE RISKS
Chicago Paper Criticizes
Gary For Not Protect
ing Itself Better.

In speaking of the attitude of tn
officials Of Gary in regard to the in
adequacy of fire protection, the in
surance editor of the Chicago Record
Herald says today:
In view of the immense values
a risk at Gary, Ind, the new town
evolved by the United States Steel
corporation, the fire protection in
the town is regarded as wholly in
adequate. There has been an out
break of fncendiary fires during
the last fortnight, a dozen build
ings having been fired, and the
losses have been so heavy that a
number Of insurance companies
threaten to withdraw unless the
protection is improved. A contract
has been let for a pumping sta
ton on the lake, but this will not
be completed until next summer,
and a standpipe of limited capacity
gives fifty-five pounds pressure for
the mercantile district. The fire de-
partment has been volunteer, with
an inadequate equipment, and the
incendiary fires have FASTENED the

M'FARLAND ENDS HIS BOXING
VIII Not Don Gloves Again Until He
Faces Phil Brock Tomorrow.

Los Angeles, Aug. 5.-Pacl&ie Nc
Farland wound up his boxing work to-
day. preparatory to the bout of Fri
day night with Phil Brock. and after
brisk workout in the South Vernon
gymnasium declared he would not put
on the gloves again until he faced
Brock. So far as can be learned, little
betting is being done on the bout There
is some local play. however, on the
basis that Mcfarland Will not knock
out Brock The latters ability to take
punishment is thought likely to count
strongly in his favor. Judging from the
odds offered by those who have left
money at Jeffries' bar to be covered
Packie will be a 1-to-2 favorite when
the men enter the ring.

saya that while it is true that some ol

the fact that the shipping facilities ol
Twin Falls are not as good, nor is 1t af

two defects do not average with the ad
vantages gained by shipping through
Mountain Home, even though the dis
tance is considerably greater.

no is concerned, is Senator
Heyburn's bill providing for
the setting aside by the Federal
Government of a million acres
of land to be irrigated by prl-
vate capital under the direction
of the State Land Board under
the law commonly known as
the Carey Act. 1t is a singular
fact that while some of the
public land states have not TAX
en- advantage of this law, Idaho
has almost exhausted her quota
of one million acres, the amount
named in the original law that
each state would be allowed to
irrigate under contract with
private individuals or corpora
tions. Since the wonderful sue
cess that has been attained by
the Twin Falls Land and Water
Company in disposing of the
water rights has become known
numerous other projects have
been launched in Idaho, and
many others are under contem-
plation. If this bill is not en-
acted into a law these contem-
plated projects will necessarily
have to be abandoned, and the
State will be deprived of the
advantages accruing from the
expenditure of several millions
of dollars in building reservoirs,
dams, and canals, and the MAX
ing of homes for thousands OF
people. The rapidity with
which the land has been settled
and placed on the tax list un-
der the Twin Falls project, has
been unequaHed anywhere in
the United States. The short
residence required enabled the
settlers to get title to the land
within six months after the
water was available, on which
they are able to borrow money
for the improvement of their
farms, and has enabled hum
dreds of people living in other
states to avail themselves of
this splendid opportunity to
make homes for Themselves and
their families in a growing and
PROSPEROUS community.
