KRUTTSCHNITT GAVE PROMISE
FOR THE EXTENSION.
Work VIM More Than Likely Start In
Early Spring VIII be Big Boost for
County.

The building OF the railroad from
Rogerson to Contact Is one Of the ac-
tivtties Of the coming spring, accord
ing to the news brought to the Twin
Falls Commercial club by I. B. Per-
rine, who returned from New York
Tuesday. While In that city Mr.. Per-
rine was In consultation number OF
times with Julius Kruttschnitt, vice
president Of the Union Pacific In re-
gard to various matters of moment to
the Twin Falls country, and as a re-
suit he returned home more optimistic
than ever over the future of this coun-
try.
THE moneyed interests Of the east
are turning toward Idaho for invest
ments, and the Twin Falls country
will reap the benefit" said~Mr. Per-
rinc. Il predict year of wonderful
prosperity for this country, and as
soon as spring opens expect to see
great activity here. Among other
things believe the Hartman lines
will begin the construction of the Rog~
erson-C Contact railroad, because Mr.
Kruttschnitt practically gave me that
assurance. The money Is ready, and
about all that remains is for the peo-
pie Of the Twin Falls country to show
their willingness to help the project
along by giving 1t their moral support
A little enthusiasm just now on the
part of the public, and perhaps some
data on the probable tonnage and pthe1
statistics ct value from the Twin Falls
Commercial club would hasten mat
ters considerably"
During the past fortnight Mr. Krutt-
schnitt was supplied with considerable
data regarding the development OF
copper properties In Contact, and. the
advisability Of building the road from
Rogerson to the camp. Mr.. Krutt-
schnitt has referred the communica-
tion to A. 4. Mohler, president of the
Oregon Short Line and has asked him
to Investigate the question .of the pos
sible building OF the road.
A large number Of Twin Falls peo-
pie are interested In Contact. and
these are all enthusiastic over It's fu-
ture. provided transportation Is Sc
cured. Enough ore is In sight and has
been blocked out to keep railroad
busy hauling 1t out, and as soon as q
railroad is built there will be hundreds
Of men start to work on their claims
At present they are doing only assess
ment work. but they have seen enough
to make them realize there Is enor-
nous wealth concealed In the noun
tains around Contact.
The building Of the road into Con-
tact will be Of immeasurable value to
Twin Falls, as all supplies would nee
essarily 60 from here to Contact and
intervening territory, and the ore
would be shipped through here. In the
event Of the extension of the line on
to Cobre or Valley Pass, the Twin
Falls country will have an outlet FOL
Its products sufficient to consume
practically everything raised on the
tract. This would also put Twin Falls
800 miles nearer to San Francisco
and open the markets Of that city tc

PADS AND FASHIONS

The touch of black in tulle, chiffon, net or lace or narrow velvet ribbon or buttons is employed to give striking individuality.
 All-white handbags and parasols and beads, buckles and rings are en- for this snowy effect.
 The cutaway jacket is one of the features of the spring styles. In the last models 1t is shown with a scal- loped edge bound in braid.
 Quaint little bonnets of straw, fac- ed with pleated silk or lace and f1ow- CT trimmed, are the favorite headgear for the small children.
 This season the seams of the plain skirt are almost invariably finished as tucks and decorated with a button or two, well placed.
 In many gowns the Russian blouse is of a different material from the coat, being frequently transparent and giving an elaborate effect.
 Separate coats of taffeta, the ground in blue, green, gray or a strong red, strewn with tiny pompadour bouquets, are very smart.
 Blouses of lace and tulle, tucked and with, perhaps, a rabat of tulle CT shadow lace, are worn now Instead of the chiffon affair of seasons past.
 Flowers are lovely beyond descrip- tion, and are used on many of the hat models in conjunction with lace, ma- line and robbons of velvet and silk.
 Long coats of changeable taffeta in with buttons of porcelain, highly col- ored, or with buttons of colored crys- tai.
 One of the latest skirts apparently opens in the back from belt to hem, the edges being rounded off just at

 When buying a baby carriage, be sure to get one with the back and the front wheels of the same size. The rubber tires on the back wheels wear out in less than half the time of those on the front, and by changing the wheels when the back tires are partly worn you can get much more wear out of set of rubber tires.
 Pictures hung by a single wire have an annoying way of getting uneven, on account of the slipping of the wire on the picture hook. This can sometimes be avoided by first hanging the picture face to the wall and then turning it around. The single turn this makes in the wire near the hooh prevents slipping.
 The desired fullness in plain shirt waist is easily obtained by placing the neck of the pattern on the fold of the cloth and slanting the bottom of the pattern two or three inches away from the fold. Be sure to keep the neck of the pattern on the fold. This method of cutting mater ial gives extra fullness in the waist and keeps the upper part of it plain, insuring a good fit across the chest.
 By this method it is only necessary to blacklead grate every three months: First blacklead and polish in the ordinary way. then rub with

Willow. This form of feather has been relegated to the Italian and col ored element, since the paper imita- t1ons can be obtained for a quarter.
 There was one wonderful wrap thrown carelessly over a chair, be- longing to Mrs. Joe Widener, who is in mourning for her brother-in-law and nephew lost on the Titanic.
 It seemed to be chiffon embroidered in black cobwebs on the wrong side, set so that the white silk lining gave them the appearance of applique.
 It was unquestionably hand work. The clamp at the neck of a single large black pearl set in dull silver was an extra touch of richness that added about five hundred dollars to the cost of the wrap.
 Of course there were lots of flow CTS worn. The favorites appeared to be yellow wisterias on white Neapol- itan straws, and violets.
 In fact have never seen so many masses of violets as are used on both large and small hats. They appear in clusters, form entire crowns and brims and sometimes, though infre- Quently, are combined with small pink roses, French mingling-not as pleasing as the violets alone. But bear in mind that >every one cannot wear violets. The lucky one who can, should thank her stars this May, for these are certainly the flowers that bloom in the spring Ira La. NITA.t

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

Housewives who enjoy using bare table in summer will do well to invest in some of the inexpensive asbestos mats that go under the doilies.
 Lemons placed in the oven and thoroughly heated, then rolled with the hand, will have a delicious flavor which never is found when the lem> ons are used cold. They will also be more juicy.
 Bathroom sash curtains are better made higher than usual, to reach sev- eral inches above the middle of the window, so that the shade may be run to the top and no neighbor the wiser.
 If you own two many pictures, don't try to crowd them all on the walls at once; it is much more effective to hang. only half at a time, changing them at spring and fall.
 Before putting away the winter clothing and blankets they should be hung out in the sunshine and brushed and shaken thoroughly. Without this precaution moth preventives are of little use.
 When olive oil dressing will not oil has been used, beat in a small quantity of dry cornstarch. This pre- vents the curdled or oily appearance After standing a short time, the dress ing will be stiff and will not taste of cornstarch.
  then mix it with the sugar. This makes the cake heavy and is always prohibited in good cake baking. In- stead of this, put the sugar in double boiler and let it get warm. In this way it creams the butter nicely and does not melt it,
 Before sending a garment to the laundry, sew a piece of tape to the end of the ribbon you intend to pull out. Then, as the ribbon is pulled out, the tape is pulled in it's place. When the garment is sent back from the laundry, sew the ribbon to the tape, pull the tape out and the ribbon is in.
 Many women like to change their table furnishings this time of year, using separate linen pieces on bare table. For this purpose nothing Is more charming than crossed strips of the lovely Japanese toweling at dol- lar for ten yards. It comes mostly

NITA'S NEW YORK FASHIONS
Gowns to Be Seen on Peacock Alley -"Willow' Feathers Back Num- ber-An Abundance of
 Flowers.

May in New York city is the most
 beautiful month of the year. One for
 gets the sordid ugliness of the period between January and March when mud, sleet, snow, dust and winds
 make streets, corners and parks treacherous and trying thoroughfares In May the parks are as lovely as country woods, in their new garb o1 green. The sunshine turns the ave.
 nues into long golden alleys, through which traverse women and children
 in equally fresh raiment. From the French balconies of the big hotels filters laughter and the clink of ice ed and nature smiles, almost laughs in harmony with the general joyous ness.
 If you are a fashion writer, it is just the time to study modes. Nc better opportunity is afforded than Waldorf-Astoria, or in the Tea room in the St. Regis.
 Here on a sunny Wednesday, this being for some unknown reason the favorite day of the week for fashion, able tea rooms. simply revelled in looking at some of the finest gowns I ever saw. They were worn by some
 of the handsomest women of New Yorks ultra correct, ultra wealthy and essentially ultra modish set. Of the younger women, Mrs. Rob- ert Goelet, who was the. beautiful FL sic Whelen of Philadelphia, certainly looked the smartest. Her gown was
 a navy blue satin finish cloth, made with a semi-train and the popular elongated pannier.
 The charm of the gown rested large ly in its trimming of Oriental bands laid over white satin. Until you have
 seen this, combination of blue, gold, red, purple and white, you cannot imagine how effectively these colors blend.
 Her hat, one of the peculiar bonnet turban combinations, was of blue two long variegated plumes. stand ing straight up at the back. These shaded feathers contained the same hues as the Oriental trimming. As
 Mrs. Goelet is tall, and fair, this gown and hat were especially becoming. the handsomest women in NeuL York
 society, and particularly as seen on this day, were Philadelphians. They are either married to New Workers. or were so much seen in Gotham that one forgets that they were not born Take for example Mrs. John R. Drexel. who with her debutante daughter was drinking tea at the St Regis. She was a Miss Troth of Phil adelphia. With no dfsparagement to her daughter. she was the handsomer
 of the two, retaining to a marvellous degree that wonderful freshness of complexion and youthfulness of figure that generally distinguish the young girl, just out.
 Her gown was grey-a foulard, with the popular woven border in black and white. It was made very sim ply, it's distinguishing feature being a very high belt and a wonderful Vene- tian lace collar, draped shawl like ov- CT almost the entire bodice. Her hat was a black Tuscan, with
 three perky little black plumes and a pink rose set under the rim. By the way. I didn't see single

 The sleeveless blouse, or with shou1- der caps like epaulets. of marquisette or chiffon over a satin or changeable chiffon, embroidered or beaded or belted, is very effective.
 Toques of changeable taffeta are worn with street frOcks of taffeta. They are sometimes trimmed with out spreading wings made of the taffeta others have aisrettes on one side
 Medium sized tailored hats are much in demand; they are trimmed with fancy feathers and wings. Bands of embroidered straw and macrame lace figure on some of the models.
 The chemisette appears, even though but an inch is seen under the collar. It is plain or gathered and of con- trasting material. and is generally be- coming to models with or without col- lars.
 On a few of the plain skirts we see a yoke, which often extends only part of the way round the figure, as, for instance, over one hip, the other side f0unce.
 A charming street suit of striped cloth shows the little jacket made with stripes running up and down in front and crosswise in back. It As fastened with tiny black catseyes- set in crystal ball buttons.
 Whipcord has made it's appearance and is already a popular material. Tailored frocks and long, serviceable coats are made of it, with trimmings of suede cloth to match, or of some contrasting color.
 The wider skirts, the flounces and the scallops the shirred and pleated ruchings, the drapery, the panniers the scanned and fitted coats, the sug- gestion of crinoline in the skirts, the jaunty separate coats of taffeta, the long, close sleeves, the belts and the draned pird1es are all here
