FOR RAILROAD ENCOURAGEMENT.
Orcg0n.IdahO Development Congress
Ask for Creation of X. X. Districts.

A petition was presented to the
tenth legislature Monday asking that
body to pass a bill giving different
communities and counties the right to
form districts for the promotion of
railroad building. The petition is the
direct outcome of the recent session
held in Boise for the development of
both states interested. The bill asked
for gives any group of citizens irres-
pective of county or municipal boun-
dries to become railroad district for
the purpose of voting bonds to build
or aid in building railroads. The man.
ner of setting off such district being
similar to that used in road or school
districts in this state. The aim of the
congress is to get the bill before this
nssiOn for action.
For sections of the state like Boise
and Twin Falls which are on branch
lines and at the mercy of Hartmann s
line the railroad district bill will prove
a boon in giving bonus to some rail-
road to enter the territory or in case
the district is large enough, to build
the railroad itself.

NO CHANCE IN
A SERIOUS FIRE
Slight Blaze on Friday Shows
Startling Condition.
WATER COMPANY GIVING TAN
PAYERS WORST OF SERVICE.
Pressure On Friday Morning Too Low
To Reach Even Second Story OF
Majestic Pharmacy.

1t usually takes good big and dis
astrous fire to awaken the placidity of
the municipal mind, and Twin Falls
can for this reason be thankful that
the blaze which started from the flue
in the Majestic Pharmacy was so cas-
lily eXtinguished last Friday morning
But the happy outcome of the fire can
not be in any way attributed to the
service furnished by the Twin Falls
Waterworks company. Had the fire
been in an open room with chance of
gaining headway, nothing but a good
water pressure would have saved it.
1t is high time that the business men
bring pressure to bear upon the COM
pany which has never given the best
of fire protection since being granted
it's charter in the early days of the
townsite and on the other hand it has
done enough in violation of its fran
chise to forfeit any claim to further
consideration.
When the alarm was turned in on
Friday at nine-thirty, the fremen
made a remarkably quick run and
were on the scene in about one min
ute. The connection at the hydrant
was made and with the blaze confined
water from the second floor would
have made short work of the blaze, but
when the firemen mounted to the sec
ond floor the water would scarcely
come out of the nozzle. 1t was only
by the use of buckets that the fire was
smothered without serious damage.

CONTENTION OVER WATER GATE.
Settlers and Water Company Disagree
As to Proper Gate.

At meeting of the Twin Falls Canal
Association and the Land & Water
company jointly, Saturday, February
18th, the question of the kind of mea-
suring device came up for discussion
Fred Voigt, S. H. Hays and Mark Cof
fin appeared for the Water company,
while the governing board of the canal
association was out in full force. The
contention arose not from the class of
gate, but as to it's position. The water
company claiming that the contract
did not call for a gate within half
mile of the the users land, while the
association contended strongly that
the individual contracts made do call
for measuring device within half
mile from the users land. Attorney
Hays in his contention claimed that
the company could not guarantee de-
livery of the water, but merely that
the supply lateral should contain
enough water for each user under it,
provided the distribution was just, but
that the company could not help it if
some took more water than they were
entitled to.
Judge Stockslager expressed himself
ON the matter and stated that the best
of his knowledge after careful study
of the question the company contract
requires the gate within half mile of
the user and each users land
Upon motion of j. R. Hinton the
canal board voted that it be the pur-
pose of the association to construe
contract to require measuring gates
within half mile from every users
land.
