FARCE SUIT THROWN
OUT Of COURT
FRED w. G0ODING CASE DIS
MISSED AT PLAINTIFFS
COST

Like the great majority of demo-
cratic political games, local and
nal, the attempt to Gust Sen
ator Fred W. Gooding from the
position of Shoshone highway COM
missioner has proven a rank, flat
failure. That it was an attempt to
play politics and very poor poll
ties at that, was very plain to be
seen, but those who brought the
case did not have sufficient cause
Of action to make even a semblance
Of case, therefore it was dis
missed at the cost of the plaintiff.

NEW ROAD PROPOSED

0. w. Zeigler was in the city
The fore part of the week circulat-
ing a petition to the Shoshone
highway commissioners to establish
the proposed new road north Of
town ON lhe half section line run
ming due north of Shoshone TO the
see OF Big Wood river in
stead of on the section line one
half mile west of town as now pro-
losed.
If lhe road on the half section
lme can be built nearly as cheaply
as on lhe section line il would save
lhe settlers on the east end Of the
North Shoshone tract and The
ranchers up the river more than a
mile OF distance in coming into
town and at the same time be no
further for those on the west end
tract. but it is claimed by
some that the new route will cost
a great deal more than the line
now surveyed. The advocates of
the new line expect to have def
mate estimates Of the cost Of the
new line as compared with the old
to submit to the commissioners I

esumates are made it is largely

OUTCLASSED; THEY
TURNED CUTTERS
TWIN FALLS BOYS QUIT AND
GO HOME "COS YOU DON'T
PLAY FAIR"

The basket ball game last Sat
qlrdav evening between Twin rails
and Shoshone High Schools for the
championship of Central Idaho
resulted in a forfeiture to Sho-
shone while there was yet four
minutes to play and the score was
i5 TO If in favor of ShoshOne. Al
this time twin Falls left the floor
claiming that the refree was un-
fair
The local team out-played the
visitors at every point in the game
Twin Falls playing an old style
rough-house game, Shoshone show
ing more science and skill from
start to finish.
Tn the arrangements for the game
Mr.. Jones, principal Of Twin Fails
II s. and manager of their team,
insisting that ne was unable to Sc
cure anyone in Twin Falls outside
Of the teams coach, who was COM
petent to referee the game, was
allowed TO act in chat capacity, al
though it is contrary to the rules
for a member of either organlza-
lion 10 act as an official (Rule vi,
Sc. y. Mr.. Jones was feleree
The first half and umpire the last
half. and if the game was not
properly conducted, Mr.. Jones
should have attended to that mat
ter. he being, according to his own
statement, at least second best
oualified man in Twin Falls to-
conduct basket ball game.
After the visitors arrival ana
after Mr.. Jones had carefully meas
ured the field of play he insisted
that if be marked off in shape
proportional to the field In the
Twin Falls gymnasium, although
the Shoshone boys had played all
their other games on the floor as
il vas-narrowe and longer. lie
said that his boys would refuse TO
NAV if the field was not made ac-
cording to his directions, as ne IN
terpreted the rules to mean tnaI
fhe sides of the field should be IN
length in the ratio of 8 and Z. This
noint was also courteously granted
them and one of the baskets was
built out on the floor.
Mr.. Streater, who acted with MT.
Jones as an official, has recently
heen a member of the Y. M. IT, A.
basket ball team at Winona, MIMI
and his decisions in games wlIh
other teams here have never been
questioned nor considered Unfair
He stands for a clean game, Tree
from roughness and fouling and
free from bullying. The old rough
house methods of basket ball play
ing were ruled out several years
ago.
If Twin Falls will introduce
few modern methods into their
play. we believe that they may be
able to develop a pretty fair team
in the course of time.
We regret that the game ended
as if did because the most valuable
training to be derived from
athletics is to learn TO be no quit
ter and to retain self-mastery
even though defeated.

EARLY LANDING HAS PROVEN
SUCCESSFUL

A number of the wool growers of
Shoshone and vicinity will have
one or more bands of their sheep
lamb early this year. Early lambs
have passed the experimental stage
and a large percentage of the lamb
crop of this season will be lambed
the last of February and during
March. Lane & Maunders have
just finished preparations for
lambing three bands of about 1900
ewes under cover having special
sheds and tents ready for use.
Their ewes will commence lambing
the 25th of this month. These gen.
tlemen are among the first to raise
early lambs and they have found II
profitable business. The early
lambs bring much higher price
on the market and a larger per-
centage Of the lambs can be saved
where the lambing is done under
shelter than where the lambing is
later il the season on the open
range. With suitable shelter the
weather does not make much diff
ference but a storm during lambing
time on the range may mean the
loss Of hundreds Of lambs and
thousands of dollars. IL costs more
money of course to put up sheds
and tents for a band of ewes but
.he net profit per lamb is nearly
always at least a dollar and often
lose to a dollar and a half. An
added profit Of a dollar head on
amhs where a firm has several
thousands runs into money fast.

In former days the important le-
gal cases in Lincoln county were
often represented by outside attor-
neys. Times have changed. Observ-
ers of court proceedings this term
of court cannot fail to notice that
the important cases are represent
ed largely by Lincoln county attor-
neys. This condition indicates that
the public at large now recognize
the Lincoln county bar as we'll up
to the front in the legal profession
and that there is no further need
of going outside of the county for
reliable and successful lawyers.
