Last scar when President Taft was
a guest in Alexandria he won a deep
place in the hearts of everyone by
making a public announcement that
any portion of Alexandria to the
District of Columbia, a project
that was very dear to his heart.
When he comes again on Thursday
it is to be hoped that he will make
just as popular announcement in ref
crence to the attempt Of the War De-
partment to fence in portion of "a!
cxandria and claim it as part of
the District.

Council incoming tomorrow night
promises to bc one of great impor-
lance to the city as several matters
of value arc to be given consideration.
One is the measure which provides
for an appropriation of $4,000 for
the purchase of site for the Alex
sndria High School and the other is
the health law Another matter not
so important as the two other meas
urcs, but one of considerable inter-
est to the city, is the question of the
changes in the city charter providing
for reorganization Of the police
police department.

The merry whirl Of politics contin-

The Colonel is maintaining the silence

The Men and Religious Forward
Movement which has attracted the &C
tive support of so many business men
of the community is strong rebuke
to gloomy forecasters who have been
predicting the decline and dissolution
of the church. The work is just in
it's beginning, however, and the men
who are really interested should not
be satisfied with their efforts of one
Sunday but should, remember that
they must keep everlastingly at the
work. A merchant who only adver-
tises intcrmittingly never makes a
great success and the same is true
of the effort to interest men in things
of a religious natura.

TO SAVE THE BOYS.
One Of the Features of the Men and
Religion Forward Movement.

In every community there are earn
est souls who grieve constantly over
the way in which so many boys are
permitted to drift into evil paths. The
Men and Religion Movement, the S-day
campaign of which is to be held in
Boise in February, makes a special
feature of this problem.
Everyone who has this problem on
his soul should be on hand to hear
what the experts have to offer There
has been enough developed on the sub
ject in connection with this movement
to warrant the belief that much good is
going to result from this feature of the
work. Not only should those already
interested be present to learn what to
do and how to do it, but every man
who has any care for the welfare of
the rising generation should likewise
arouse himself and take an interest in
this work as it shall be presented dur
ing the campaign in the capital city.

NO ELECTION
IS RECORD
Majority Of Stock Is Not Voted
at Election.
DIRECTORS WILL HOLD OVER BY
VIRTUE OF CONSTITUTION,
Attempts to Arouse Settlers Fail and
the Canal Question Settled for An
other Year.

Tuesday January 9th, the date set
for the annual meeting of the stock
holders and election of officers of the
Twin Falls Canal Company, was a
very fine day after some very stormy
weather, but the stockholders failed
to take advantage of the weather or
the election and very small crowd
was in the city.
The total vote cast was 10000, which
was something like $4,000 votes short
OF the number needed for a quorum.
According to the constitution the
present board will remain in office
until a legal election is held or until
they voluntarily resign. The offic-
ers and directors are as follows:
President, Dr.. Tandy Wiglesworth;
vice president, A. l.. Houghtelin; sec
retary, w. o. Taylor; general man
ager, G. e. Harlan. These men, to-
gether with w. e. Lewis, compose the

SPUDS BY TRAIN LOADS.
2132 Cars From Southern IdahO-All
Records Broken.

A solid trainload of Idaho potatoes
from the Idaho Falls district passed
through Pocatello today on it's way to
eastern markets. There still remains
approximately 500 carloads of spuds in
the district to the north of the Gate
City yet to be moved. Many potato
growers in that district, believing that
the magnificent advertisement result
ing from Idaho Potato Day at the Chi
cago land show will boost the price of
spuds, are holding back for a rising
market.
According to officials of the Mon
tana division Of the Short Line, this
year broke all records in the line of
potato shipments. The line to the
north of PocatellO this season has so
far handled a grand total Of 2l32 cars
Of potatoes. This means close to a
hundred trainloads. Last season the
potato shipments out of the Idaho
Falls district totalled only about 1900
carloads, SO that the record Of this
season is almost double that Of any
preceding season.-Pocatello Tribune

LAUNDRY WITHIN A MONTH.
Troy Laundry Branch VIII Be Opened
At Burley.

Burley Will have a steam laundry in
operation within the month. H. Becht-
old, manager of the Troy Laundry and
Dry Cleaning Co. of Twin Falls, was
in town Saturday and took a lease on
the Spracher building, formerly occu-
pied by the Grand Cafe, on the corner
of Main street and Overland avenue,
and made preparations for installing
the plant, which will arrive the last of
the week. The drainage from the
laundry will be handled by two large
cesspools, one of which is already pro-
vided. The water will be secured
from well on the property.
Mr.. Bechtold assures us that the
plant will be complete and up-to-date
in every particular 1t is not being
put in with the present needs only in
view, but will be of sufficient capacity
to handle the work of Burley and the
tributary territory for number of
years to come.
George Smith, the experienced laun-
dryman, who has been with the Troy
laundry of Twin Falls for a number of
years, will have charge of the plant
here. He will visit Albion, Oakley,
Hepburn and Rupert regularly. In
fact the laundry here, which will be
known as the Troy Steam Laundry of
Burley, will handle the business form
erly taken care of by the Twin Falls
laundry, east of Miner. Mr. Smith
has been in Burley during the past
week looking after the business of his
firm and preparing for the installation
of the new plant.-Burley Bulletin.

NOTED LECTURER COMING.
Mrs. May Wood SimOns to Address
Twin Falls Socialists.
Twin Falls, Ida. Jan. 10th. 1915

Twin Falls, Ida, Jan. 10th, 1912.
To the Editor Twin Falls Times, City
Dear Sir: Will you kindly give the
following space in yours columns and
oblige the committee Twin Falls
Branch Socialist Lyceum Lecture
Course:
A national figure to speak in Twin
Falls. Mrs. May Wood Smons, asso-
ciate editor the Chicago Daily Social
list, and contributor to the Technical
World, Sunday Post Dispatch of ST.
Louis, Tuesday, Jan. 10Th, 1912. Place
to be announced later.
Perhaps no other lady in this coun-
try has the reputation for sincerity in
the particular field that she has chosen
for her abilities and activities than
May Wood Simons, the eminent writ
er, student, scholar, thinker and lee
turer, and member of the oldest Greek
letter society.
In her, we have a little sweet high
ly intellectual college graduate, a per-
sonage that is endowed with wonderful
talent in the dramatic field, winner
of the Harris prize offered for the best
composition on Economic Thought in
the history of the United States from
100 to 1914.
Many Chautauqua has been only
too glad to secure the services of May
Wood Simons as the drawing card of
the whole affair, and in one instance
they paid all her expenses and a good
stiff salary to jump on the train from
Girard, Kan, to Manitoba, Canada.
Her husband is the noted lecturer
on History and Economics, and is also
editor Of the Coming Nation.
This little lady is highly talented
and sways her audience with logic and
emotional passages in AN eloquent
way that stirs the hearts and gains the
sympathies and compassions of the
audience.
The women and young ladies of this
county should turn out en- masse to do
justice to this remarkable woman
fighter for their rights in the struggle
for the higher achievements of the hu-
man family.
The admission at the door will be by
green and red tickets of twenty-five
cents and one dollar each. The twenty
cent tickets. have the premiums of
books or papers to that amount sent
free to any address, and the same ap-
phys to the dollar tickets.
The lecture course has been a great
success and is swelling the attendance
at each meeting until now one cannot
find ony reason to fail to grant the
Socialists credit for entertaining the
public at very low price.

past three or four months, and was
known as a bad man and profession

will be held until the results of Will
liams' wounds are known. On inquiry
at the hospital it was found that he

they registered as man and wife. The
woman was suspected of knowing
