Looks Like a Settlement.

The settlers Snd all others interested
in the progr,.sIsof the North Side tract
will be pleased to learn that negotiations
now pending will probably result in an
amicable settlement OF the differences
between the Company and the settlers.
Attorney jess llawley, alter few
weeks of laborious work among the set
tiers. has finally succeeded in adjusting
the claims on what he considers an
equitable basis. 4 conference between
the board oi directors oi the Twin Falls

sentatiyes of the Twin Falls Land and
Water Co. was held al Boise last week
and while We arr not al liberty to give
the full details OF the meeting. the
ground WAS thoroughly gone over 10y
both sides and it is iclt that much good
was accomplished.
The executive board held another
meeting here Tuesday afternoon. at
which Time questions pertaining to this
settlement We're freely discussed. and
from member of the board We learn
that matters look very favorable for Il
speedy adjustment OF the differences,
and We trust Ia be able next week To- an

allowing the stock to trample upon
recently irrigated ground.
AT the close Of each OF the lee
lures questions touching upon the
subject were invited, which also
proved instructive, and much valu-
able information was ELECTED.
1t is these heart to heart talks
among the farmers that leads to the
untang,ing of many little Difficult
ties that confront them, as they re-
solve themselves into IL sort of an
experience meeting, where one far
mer profits by the experience of his

Mr.. Lee Blodgct, OF NySsa Ore. was
in town last saturday, and was being
entertained 10y W. \. llrisS. the two
having been warm friends back in llli-
mons. Mr.. Blodgct. in company with
several other influential citizens OF NySSa
have been ON Il tours oi inspection ol
several Carey act projects, and his opin-
ION of this tract was glowingly expressed.
When advised rs to the average price oi
land here, he was much surprised, as,
he stated, that nothing could he had in
his section ior less than SlOO To S3oO per
acre. As has been repeated many times
over, the people do not realize what is in
store for them here.

NORTH SIDE MELONS.
A Large Acreage Contracted And
Successful Results Anticipated.

1t will evidently be fully demon
strated this season a. tO whether
watermelons and cantilopes can he
grown successfully on the North
side or not However the conf
dence our people have in the pro-
ject is evidenced by the fact that
about 50 acres has been pledged,
and the seeds are on the way.
The few melons that were grown
on the tract last season proved of a
very excellent quality, and We're
considered superior To those grown
in the famous Rocky Ford district,
and from correspondence which we
have been AT liberty to examine, we
feel that the melon growers here
will find ready market, not only
III this section, but among the lovers
of delicious melons in the east.
That the reputation of these mel
ons may become known through
out the country, great care will be
excercised in grading them for mar
ket, and no culls or inferior fruit
will be allowed 10 go out. This
fact might as well be known To the
grower before even the planting is
done, a. the melons will be closely
inspected when gathered and great
care exercised in packing the same,
SO that when case is marked No.
| ~ the purchaser can rely on the
contents being up to the standard.
An experienced melon inspector
will he employed, and his word re-
garding grade will be law from
which there will be no appeal. 1t
is only in this manner that our pro-
duct will become known, and be
sought alter IN future years, aS the
brand ON the case will he evidence
Of exactly what it contains.
Some of our farmers are fully
conversant with the raising of can
tilopes, having followed the same
in Colorado, and the wise fellow is
he who will seek after and follow
the advice of those who know. The
following farmers have contracted
for seed to plant the number of
acres opposite their names, and the
seeds are expected at any time, and
planting will begin about April l5:

The sturdiness and confidence
enjoyed by the settlers in this sec
ton was fully demonstrated last
week, when an offer was made for
a piece of land held by a settler,
who like some others had seen moth
ing but expense piling up, ut Il
price which would net him a good
profit on his investment, but who
promptly turned down the offer, as
he predicts in another year his land
will double in value. There are
many Others ON the tract of the
same opinion.

PHILLIEs ARE GOING STRONG
Team is Composed of Hard FILTERS
and Has Two Star Pitchers in
Moore and Alexander,

The Chicago Cubs think that the
Pills will be in the pennant fight to
the finish and say that the record of
the Phillies at home will assure them
of a good standing.
This home record dope is based on
the short left field bleachers. which
means homer to the player dropping
the ball among the spectators.
One of the Oldest and most valued
members of Chances team says OF the
Phillies:
ut is a club that has bunch Of
cleanup hitters, and any man on the
team is liable to break up a game with
a long drive at any stage. This short
bleacher is going to be big help to
Dooin's crew for couple of reasons.
I'm the first place, ii pitcher
pitches them inside to Highlander.
any one of the Philip club is likelySto
lace 1t into the bleacher.
The second side to the argument Is
that several of the Phils who have
been hitting into the bleachers are
natural right field hitters, and pitcher
Is throwing away his own game by
pitching to stop left field hitting.
Il tell you, boys, the Phillies have
ball club that is going to be in the
fight from start to finish From what
read, another pitcher is needed to
share the work with Earl Moore, a
marvel at all times, and this kid Alex
ander. who Is tipped to me as a Won
der"
For the benefit OF !nquisitive fans 1t
will be well to add that the gentleman
who speaks SO highly Of the Phillies
has been a member of the Cubs for six
years and is dangerous cleanup hit
ter.

DEPENDING ON CURVE BALL
Pitchers Cannot Afford to Allow Bat.
ters to Meet Ball as squareIy as
They Can Fast Ones,

Billy Evans says American league
pitchers are using the curve ball more
this season than in any of the five
seasons he has been a major league
umpire.
with the lively ball in use pitch
ers can't afford to let batters meet it
too well,' Evans said. "They depend
on the curve ball to fool the batter
and keep him from meeting the ball
as squarely as he can meet fast one.
Batters don't have to hit a fast
ball very hard this season to get it
past the inheld Pitchers are depend-
ing on the curve bali almost entirely
when runners are on.
Pitchers are using the curve good
deal more this season when they have
three balls and two strikes on the bat
ter. Under these conditions the bat
ter knows the pitcher will try to got
the next one over. Pitchers generally
have better control of the fast hall
and last year could take a chance nm
having it hit. This year they prefer
trying to fool the bat.er with a curve
even at the risk of base on balls.
In a game | umpired In Boston
Ralph Works passed five men rather
than pitch the fast ball with three and
two on batters. The catcher signaled
for fast ball each time, but Works
shook his head. He took a chance
with the curve and could not got /,
over"

BEATING DRUM HIS HOBBY

Simon E. Bernheimer, a millionaire
brewer of New York, died recently
just as he was exultantly and delight
eddy in the exercise of his lifelong
hobby-beating bass drum. 1t was
an odd revelation that a man of great
wealth and large affairs had found his
keenest enjoyment In acting as mu-
sician in band. Bernheimer has
spent thousands of dollars in the sup
port Of musical association for the
mere privilege of welding the big
baton with its huge leather ball against
the side Of booming drum. He had
Joined Masonic order in order to
get an opportunity to play the bass
drum as substitute In the band, at
tending rehearsals devotedly In the
hope that some night the regular bass
drummer would be absent and he
would get chance And when he
did get it the other night he attacked
the instrument with such vim and was
so highly excited withal at the oppor-
tunity that had come to him that he
brought on stroke of apoplexy that
killed him.

BOYS REMARKABLE ESCAPE

A seven-year-old boy, Walter Gus
tavage, had thrilling experience at
Girardville, Pa, one day lately. A
chum dared him to jump over the
mouth Of an air shaft at one of the
co'liery mines, and on making the at.
tempt he miscalculated the distance
and went whirling down the chute 470
feet Into an excavation. He escaped
with nothing more than a few bruises.
When the boy disappeared into the
opening his companion spread an
alarm and rescuers were lowered into
the hole with ropes, but could get no
response to their calls. An hour later
when those on the surface had given
up the boy for dead, loader boss ap.
peared on the surface with the lad in
his arms. He found him on gang
way platform crying from fright, but
practically unhurt.

He CAN TWIST BIG SPIKES.

Michael Manson, confectioner of
Wooster, O., although well along in
years, has just discovered that he has
wonderful strength In his hands. Man
SCR watched street fakir doing feats
with nails. He tried some of them
and was astounded on finding how
easily he could twist and bend nails.
Then he tried the largest steel spikes
and these he was able to bend and
twist with apparent ease Manson
made chain OF the spikes to show
what he could do with his hands A
strange part of Mansor's discovery is
that although he has seen tricks Of
the sort performed he never before
thought OF trying to initiate any of the
performances.

NOW THE ELECTRIC CARPET

The latest electric invention Is the
electric carpet for heating rooms. It
was originated in Paris. The under
side OF the new carpet consists of a
network of steel wires through which
the current is equally distributed in
all directions 1t is said that the cost
OF the new form Of heating will be
less than that of any known system;
indeed it is estimated that a room
fitted with one Of these carpets can
be heated at total cost Of a penny

DUMB MAN SPEAKS.

An unusual case was that Of Harry
W1ltze, a dumb patient, in a New Ha-

physician the other morning with
Hello, Doc!" It was the first word
he had spoken for nine months, and
the first sane utterance in many
years. An operation was performed on
the patient, section of his skull
which had come in contact with the
brain being removed, with the result
just recorded. There is every indica-
ton that the remarkable operation
will be perfectly successful.

holds the record with his seventeen
'whiffs" we are ready to believe him.
Mr.. Foster first informed F. H. Ma
cauiey, manager of the st. Paul Spald-
Ing store, that in quoting the record
as given in the Moreland book we
were wrong, and then he followed up
with letter to US, informing us that
the official scores of that game in
which Waddell established his mark
gave RUDE credit for sixteen strike
outs. That settles it-O'Toole Is
king"
