Tney knew not wherefore they we're come
together They were as clay in the hands
or a few shrewd agitators. Stupidly. they
thought that by much shouting they
could prove their case; but truth is not

Is not determined al the ballot-box nor by
force Of arms. Truth is truth. though one

CONTACT CITY is BOOMING.
Twin Falls Men Selling Lots Like Hot
Cakes.

Henry Smith, one of the heaviest
owners of mining property in the Con-
tact mining district, and a director in
the Nevada Copper Milling, Mining and
Power company of Contact, was Wis
itor in this city on Monday and gave
some valuable information about the
development of the famous camp into
city, for that is what it now is, the
camp having been plated into 418 lots
of what will be known as Contact City.
Messrs. M. B. Macauley and c. B. Cliff
ton of this city, have been appointed
as agents for the sale OF the lots and
they have sold nearly 100 lots in the
past few days.
The townsite is only 600 feet distant
from the rich strike made a short
time ago of gold, silver and copper,
said to be the finest prospect in the
district.
Mr.. Smith stated that the townsite
company in which he is also interest
ed, could furnish good electrical power
for the little city and good pure spring
water, two items not always assets of
mining camps.
II the gentleman's expectations ma
terialize the rush to the region will
begin at once and the growth of Con-
tact City wonderful. He also stated
that the business men of Twin Falls
should do everything in their power
to draw the trade from that section to
Twin Falls, and that the railroad
would aid such move.

McKINLAY MAKES A RECORD.
Twin Falls Representative Springs a
Surprise On the House.

Now that the Tenth session Is over
the summing Of the work done by
Hon. A. d. McKinlay shows that in
every respect the interests of this
county were cared for in an able man
ner. OF seven bills introduced by Mr.
McKinlay, five became laws and all
passed the house The bills thus pass
ed were H. B. No. 207, the fish and
game BILL H. B. No. SO, which placed
Twin Falls with the first-class coun-
ties; H. b. No. 242, creating game pre-
serve in the SawtoOth mountains; H.
B. No. 2S2, allowing counties to fix
charges on toll bridges costing more
than $25 900, and No. 2S3, which allows
Bonner and Shoshone counties each
one additional representative. Two
bills were killed. H. B. No. 100,
creating an agricultural college in
Southern part of state, and H. B. No.
203, allowing broken down and old
prospectors to enter state home.
During all of the session Represen-
tative McKinlay was untiring in being
present at nearly every session, and
his successful attempt to get through
the bill 283 after 1t had been virtually
killed by the house, was a master
stroke and gained him praise from the
men who fought him hardest in pre-
venting it. This bill gives Twin Falls
one more member in the house.
Mr. land Mrs. McKinlay returned
home Tuesday and will remain in the
city for some time.

A PLEASING INNOVATION.
The Department Store Inaugurates
Striking Costumes for Salesladies.

While the first day of the big mill
end sale was on at the Idaho Depart
ment store last Saturday, the Times
reporter strolled into the big store for
chat with the manager George B.
Banta, but was unable to get within
talking distance for few minutes,
because of the crowds which lined
every aisle of the establishment The
saleswomen at the different counters
in the dry goods department were just
as busy as usual, but nevertheless
presented pleasing appearance in
their neat gowns -tof -Biack,, which WIN
for the future mark the dress of all
the ladies employed in the big store.
Manager Banta has always been striv-
ing to create for the store distinctive
features which will cause 1t to be IA
vorably known to all the shoppers on
the tract, and his innovation of uni
form dress for the feminine portion is
another step toward making the Idaho
Department store talked of by the
shoppers.
