QUESTION OF EXPENSE CULLS
OUT MANY PROMISING PLANS.
Water by Gravity Fall From Foot
Hills Seems to Have Best Solu-
tion Of Supply.


The water committee which has
been spending much time In investi-
eating the water works supply for a
municipal system is by the process of
elimination getting down to the point
where it considers that the water sup
ply must come from the foot hills east
and south of this city and with this in
view asks that any person or corpor-
alton which can furnish water right or
sink wells for Artesian flow to report
to the committee with some estimate
OF the cost for the wells and the land
The committee some time ago spent
some days In the foot hills and were
OF the opinion that the artesian flow
would prove the best in the long run
II the rights could be secured for
million gallon supply for reasonable
price. 1t figured the cost of getting
such supply to the city at eight thou
sand dollars per mile, which was eon-
sidered as the lowest possible amount
for laying pipes into the city, with the
cost OF water right and OF city pipes
to be considered in addition.

c.5

The Automobile Club Of Twin Falls
County is the name of the organization
of auto owners in Twin Falls and VIC
Unity, who have gotten together to do
what they can in the interest Of good
roads. The following are the officers: !:
George s. Aldrich, president; ]. Benj
Hall, vice president; Arthur j. Pea
vey, secretary; w. w. Mickelwait,
treasurer, and p H. Grow, F. G. Spen-
Ger and Carl E. Lind, directors.
l With the energetic aid OF the Auto
mobile club, the farmers of the tract,
the county commissioners and the
users of vehicles OF all kinds, Twin
Falls county should before long have
some good roads.
The Automobile club will also hope
to have city ordinance passed for the
regulation Of autos and vehicles OF all
kinds. This should be done, as the
streets OF Twin Falls are now at times
SO crowded that regulations would be
Of benefit to all.
Twin Falls is one OF three cities in
Idaho to have associations of auto
owners, and these organizations will
once form part of the national or
ganization of autoists, the A. A. A.

SChURGR vs.. MOORMAN.
Important Decision Handed Down by
Judge Walters.

Judge Walters has just rendered his
decision In the case of Herman Schur-
ger VS.. ID. b. Moorman. This deci-
sion involves matter OF much import
ance to property holders upon the
Twin Falls tract, and in fact to farm
owners in all of the irrigated portions
Of the state of Idaho.
The facts In the case are as follows:
In the fall of 1907 Moorman sold q
5-acre tract upon contract to Henry
Ball and Frank T. Mitchell. The con-
tract contained covenant whereby
Moorman agreed to convey said tract
free and clear of all incumberance.
Subsequently Ball and Mitchell as
signed the contract to Schurger. At
the time that Norman sold the land
there was constructed upon and across
the land a lateral, belonging to the
Twin Falls Land & Water Company.
Final payment upon the land became
due last fall Schurger refused to pay
the final payment and take the war
ranty deed rendered by Norman,
claiming that the ditch or lateral was
an incumbrance upon the land, and
that it constituted breach against the
covenant to convey the land free and
clear of all incumbrance.
Judge Walters in his decision holds
that, the fact that the ditch was upon
the land was not breach of the COW
enant for the reason that Ball and
Mitchell at the time they purchased
the land under contract, and that
Schurger at the time that he took an
assignment of the contract, knew of
the existence of the ditch or lateral,
and in law was presumed to have seen
it.
The Importance of this decision to
the land owners upon the Twin Falls
tract is apparent. 1t is safe to say
that thousands of deeds have been
made to lands upon the Twin Falls
tract, conveying the same free and
clear of ell incumbrance, while at the
same time bitches and laterals were
made and constructed upon and across
the lands so conveyed. If the court
had held in the Schurger-Moorman
case that the existence of the lateral
upon the land was breach of the COW
enant against membranes, 1t would
have opened up an endless source OF
litigation.
c. O. Longley and H. G. Hazel ap-
peared for Schurger in the case, and
Jno. E. Davies and E. V. Larson han
died Moorman's side of the case, the
prevailing party in the suit.

MEETING WITH GREAT SUCCESS
Funds for the Fair Are Growing
Rapidly.

The committees which have been out
soliciting for the Industrial fair dur
Fling the past week, have met with
great success, and have raised about
$4,000. The pinch now comes with the
fact that some of the business men
who are the principal beneficaries in
the fair not coming through according
to their allotment. The fair will be of
great benefit to the rooming houses,
restaurants. pool halls and the retail
ers of the provisions, meat markets
] and groceries and in no case should
the men in business in the above cases
shirk in any way their allotted share.
The fair is going to draw crowds and
, it is no more than right that every bus
mess man do his part instead of a few
contributing the larger bulk of the
$4,000. If you have turned the COM
Nmittee down or cut your assessment
call up the committee and place your
self right on the matter. Don't be. a
piker, or don't be content to let the
other fellow pay for you.

A PLEASANT RECEPTION.
Welsh Social Event at the Williams
Home.

Mr.. w. c. Williams home, 4th ave-
nue. West, was the center of gather
ing of the Welsh of Twin Falls Tues
day evening to tender reception
worthy of the Magic City of Twin Falls
to DIR. Dan Evans and Mr. Henry
BOnna upon their call here on their
return home to New Castle, Pa, from
Portland and other cities of Oregon;
also Mrs. w. ]. Davies of New Castle,
Pa, who is here on a visit to see her
son Griff, of the Home Mercantile Co.
In opening the program, which was
instantly prepared for the occasion,
Mr.. Williams referred in glowing
terms to the magic growth of Twin
Falls to between 1000 and 5000 inhab-
itants and it's bright prospects for the
immediate and distant future, empha-
sizing that the only assets necessary
to succeed here were confidence and
perseverance.
DR.. Dan Evans followed with the
statement that he had read several of
Mr.. Williams articles in the eastern
papers on the Twin Falls tract, and.
that from what he had seen of it, he
had not overvividly colored it, adding
that upon his arrival home he could
do no better than advise the young
men of the east in the words Of the
late Horace Greeley, viz; go west,
young man, go west and that to Twin
Falls, rather than step upon each 9TH
ers feet in these eastern cities.
The next item was a recitation by
H. Bonna, of Faust written by the
philosopher, Goethe, for the re-
citing of which he has captured many
a prize at large competitive literary
gatherings in Pennsylvania and other
state
This was followed by a song, "a
Welshman in London" by John Price.
Pianoforte duet, by Iris Lewis and
Miss Matte Williams.
Song, I'm Leaving Home" by Mrs.
w, c. Williams.
Recitation, "The Last Message"
Stanley Williams.
Song, "Serenade," by II. Bonna
After the rendering Of this beautiful
serenade, the crowd dispersed for
their respective homes with the wish
in their hearts that DR.. Dan and
Bonna would stay in our midst for
good.
Wednesday morning Mr.. Williams
took both gentlemen to see the Blue
Lakes, Twin and Shoshone falls, and
it's no gainsaying the fact that both
were very favorably impressed by
what they were pleased to call, the
magnificent scenery.
At 1880 O'Clock Thursday morning
both gentlemen left the Perrine hotel,
which they highly complimented both
from structural and accommodation
point of view, for New Castle, Pa, Mr..
Donna promising to be back again
early in September, to stay for good, a
stay that would be valuable acquisi-
tion to the town in virtue of his musi-
cal qualities, vocally.

TATough erroneous publication and

law and order. With this purpose in
view ten thousand dollars was raised
10 secure such enforcement and the
men who subscribed that money are
among the most reputable citizens OF
the city. They do not condemn the
action of the Law and Order League,
but rather approve the attempt to
make Twin Falls dry in every branch
OF the liquor business.
To the knowledge of The Times
ther was no sentiment other than for
the enforcement of the law and the
support of the action of the detective
brought in to secure such enforce
menf. That any number of the citi-
zenR here ever expressed a different
sentiment, is doubted.
The detectives were not run out, nor
did they flee from the rage of the
aforesaid mob spirit The leader of

but obedience to orders and at that
he should have been In Spokane on the
twenty-second, two days before he
could get away. Furthermore, the de-
/ tective will be here at the term of
court to give his evidence.
The Times is not bringing out the
above facts to tread on anybody's pet
idea concerning the liquor question.
Every man is entitled to his own OPP
inion, but when the reputation Of a
town for orderliness is placed in jeo-
pardy by the absurd statements circu-
lated last week, 1t is no longer ques-
ton Of individual opinion, but the at
tempt of a few to prevert the good
name of the whole city. Every res
pectable citizen will say the same,
Twin Falls has too high class of cit
izenship to have such statements of
lawlessness branded as the truth from
the press or from any other source.

Bull Baitinu.

Although bull batting was a cruel
pastime, it was also fulfilling of the
law, for formerly no butcher was al
lowed to offer for sale the flesh Of any
bull that had not been baited. The
goading of the animal in a fury was
supposed to have some influence on The
flesh. In similar belief the flesh of a
hunted hare was thought to be superior
in flavor to that of one that had been
shot, and present of "a hunted hare"
was considered to be special compli-
ment. In the records of the corpora
ton of Leicester. England. the follow
ing order appears: "At common hall,
held on Thursday before st. Simon and
st. Jude, 1867, no butcher to kill bull
till baited.'" At Winchester it was Or
