Many unexploded ten-inch shells we're

the rail his legs as well as his hands

MURPHY CONFIDENT
Fusion Leaders Declare They
Will Garry the Board of Alder

I'VE will win by more than 10000. -
Samuel s. Koenig. president of the Re-
publican County Committee.
II have not opened the figures turned
in by my leaders, but from what they
have said to me I am confident of the
result on Tuesday"-Charles f. Murphy,
leader Of Tammany Hall.
These are the statements made by the
leaders of the opposing forces last night
after receiving the final reports from
their district leaders.
There was all the difference in the
world between the atmospheric condi-
tions i'm the headquarters Of the Republic
can County Committee and in Tammany
Han i'm the afternoon, where the respec-
tive leaders held their last heart-to-heart
talks in the regular Saturday before
election conference. All was sunshine
and optimism at the Republican meet
ing. The Tammany leaders were sur
rounded by an impenetrable gloom,
which they did not seem able to throw
off. They seemed gripped with the fear
Of some impending calamity which they
could not understand, but which held
them i'm spite of all efforts to seem
cheerful.
REPORTS received by the Republican
and fusion leaders indicate victory not
only for the New York County ticket,
but also i'm the Assembly and aldermanic
fights. The Democrats now have twenty
eight of the thirty-fiye Assemblymen
from this county. The fusion forces eX-
pect to cut this number down TO twenty %
two or possibly as low as eighteen. This
would also mean that the fusionlsts
would elect from seventeen to twenty
two of the forty -one aldermen from the
county.
With gains that will be made by the
fusionists in aldermanic districts III
Kings and Queens, it is more than likely
that the next Board of Aldermen Will be
safely anti-Tammany.
According TO his usual custom, Charles
+. Murphy. the sphynXlike boss Of Tam
many Hall. refused 10 talk figures, and
his district leaders were equally reticent.
There were reports, however, that the in
side figures that had been compiled 10y
confidential workers for Murphy showed
Tammany defeat by l2GOOo TO lo2'oP

too good TO be believed by the fuslonists,

REASON FOR CAR SHORTAGE
J. A. Reeves Explains Reason That
Cars Cannot Be Supplied.

One of the great difficulties encoun-
tered by the shippers of hay from the
irwin Falls tract this year has been
their inability to get sufficient cars to
handle their product. The railroad Of
ficials have endeavored to supply the
demand, but the calls all along the line
have been so great that they could not
accommodate every one. The long
hauls on hay have also retarded the
return of the cars. This is explained
In letter received by the Twin Falls
Commercial club from ]. A. Reeves,
general freight agent, which says:
You must realize that we are just
as anxious to furnish cars for this
traffic as the shippers are to receive
them. This is an entirely new bust
ness for this company and the unus-
ual length of the haul on hay this
year, which goes all the way to the
Atlantic seaboard, has delayed the re-
turn OF the equipment and thus mater
tally increasing the shortage on cars"

Director Newell Writes Letter in Re.

Washington, Dec. 19-Life on a gov.
eminent irrigated farm is not the bee

Director Newell of the reclamation
service points out in paper prepared
by him for the Smithsonian institu-
ton.
This Weakening to the fact that, ir-
rigation has its thorny side" he de
clares, sometimes comes as start
ling shock sufficient to discourage all
but the most enthusiastic and the more
faint hearted seek farther for the
promised land.
Those who remain soon learn that
success must be secured by subduing
the SOIL getting it into good condition
applying water day and night, and per-
haps all night, wading around in the
mud, or enduring the heat of the long
days of the brilliant sunshine and the
accompanying dust of the arid regions,
the troubles with neighbors over divi-
sion OF water, the possible seepage,
followed by crop losses or ruin from
alkali. AS consequence a consider
able part of the first settlers on every
irrigation system sell out or relin-
quish their homesteads and seek other
fields"
The most difficult problems still re-
main for the reclamation service, he
says. 1t has successfully solved the
engineering and business problems;
but those of dealing with the settlers
giving them sound advice and at the
same time collecting from them the
cost OF the works, the dealing with
the human as opposed to the physical
elements, are far more difficult than
those of engineering construction or
related business management"
