The Social Science Circle, with a

Iiehfieid and the SUI rounding coun-
~, is inaugurating a very progress
siye movement that might be taken

George Coates, of Bellevue, the
asw water commissioner for the cen
yral district OF Idaho, was in town
Tuesday night, with VIM. McWade
me water master for the lower Big
Wood section. They came up from
Gcoding by the way of Big Wood,
Tuesday, through all the wind and
dust, and found ten thousand places
along the road where some
water to lay the dust would be
worth a lot Of money. They are
visiting all their territory, to get
acquainted with all the conditions
they viii have to face during the
sumner, and to meet the people
with whom they viii have to do
business.
The selection of Mr.. McWade is
ne elimination of rather interest
ing story. Some Of the old water
users on the lower Big Wood have
cescnted the Idaho Irrigation COM
o2Ry having it's legitimate part in
The control of the river, and they
laye voted in their own water mas
sers in a most shameless manner.
Last year, after their candidate
was illegally elected, and the dis
trict court threw him out, Macbeth,
the water commissioner, immediate
" appointed him over the head of
the court and Of the protesting ir-
rigation company. 1t is said that
the Boise law firm representing the
cid claimants, law firm that came
near reaching into the governors
office itself. advised the settlers to
take" their water if necessary, even
by tearing out the company control
gates on the upper canals. Their
own private water master, select
ed in defiance OF law, actually did
close the gates of the North Good
ing canal for two or three days, and
made lot OF trouble for everybody.

Elect Teachers for Next Year
School Board Fills All Places Except One, the Primary

All but one OF the teachers for
the Richfield public schools for the
next year have been selected; the
one vacancy being that of the prt-

are as follows:
George F. Gorow, reelected, super

Jams, Of Indiana, intermediate; Miss
Claribel Ingle, domestic science.
Mr.. Macarthur was chosen at

understood that some one from Sho-
shone would be especially glad to
have It, After a brief "roundtab-
le' talk on the political situation
of the county, the meeting adjourn
ed, subject to the call of the chair
man.
Mr.. Reeves, the new chairman,
was chosen against his protest; but
as there will be no political busi-
ness of any kind for some time to
come, he accepted the honor. Mr..
Bowler is an efficient secretary,
one well versed in the politics Of
the county, and a good selection
from every standpoint. Mr.. Kartzkf,
state committeeman, is one of the
best known public men of the coun-
ty, and one of the safest and most
progressive. If anything could help
to restore politics to their normal
condition, it should be the selec-
ton of Mr.. Kartzke for this import
ant position. 1t should do much to
allay the restive feeling that grew
out of the old county division fight
that all but ruined Lincoln county
politics last year and year before.
Nothing came up at any time to
indicate any rivalry, or sore spots,
or jealousy of any kind over the
result of the last election. The
meeting was as harmonious as a
Beethoven sonata or Sousa march,
and it indicates the good temper and
the good sense of the republicans
Of the county who are going to be-
gin their politics with good busi-
ness.

NO ELECTRIC FRANCHISE
Beaver River Application Held
Over for the Present.

The Richfieid village board re
jected, or rather referred, the appli-
cation OF the Beaver River Power
company for a franchise in Richfie.t
last week, so there will be no new
service here for the immediate
present.
This, however, is not necessarily
bad thing. The Franchise as it
vas presented, called for 90-day
period for the company to accegt
The terms, and to canvass the fed
Tor customers; if there should not
be sufficient business, they would
not be obligated to come in. The
Idaho Irrigation company is inter-
ssted in providing for pumping
plants over the tract, that could
care for the lands that could be
watered by pumping, above the can
al levels. The company believes
that whatever arrangements are
made with any electrical company,
should embrace such probability,
and on terms that make it feasible
20 handle so as to develop all the
lands that can be watered by
pumping. The irrigation company is
now asking the same length of time
TO consider the matter as was pro-
posed to give the Beaver River COM
pany, and by the end of that time
it is expected that something defi-
aite will be announced, that will
either provide for an adequate new
plant and service, or pave the way
Tor entertaining the proposal Of the
Beaver River people.
The Beaver River people have Sc
cured franchises at Shoshone, Hal
Ley, Bellevue, Carey, and Richfield
is the only one SO far left out any
where along the Wood rivers. They
have also secured franchises at Je-
rome, Wendell, Twin Falls, and are
getting into condition to supply the
whole territory within 100 miles of I
their plant. They have station

water available for 10000 at the

OLD-TiRIE TABLE HABITS
When Forks Came to England,
Rules Had to Be Changed.

Until the middle of the seven
teenth century," writes Rose M. Brad
ley in the English Housewife, forks
were a luxury, treated rather as toys,
elegant, with jeweled handles, where
with the ladies might pick daintily at
their sweetmeats." Before the carv-
ing fork was introduced paper covers
were placed over those portions of the
meat which had to be grasped with
the left hand The paper frills some
times seen nowadays on outlet bones
are said by the author to be survival
of the old custom. After smarting
under foreign criticism on their table
manners, Englishmen turned to
French "Rules of Civility," and others
were compiled in England
Readers were warned mot to wipe
knife or fork on bread or the cloth,

WESTERN ELEvENS
DEFEAT THE EAST
Comparative Scores Argu-
ment for Open Game
in This Section.

Harvard's scant victory over Prince
ton, to 0. which gave the Crimson
eleven a firmer hold on the 1913 east
ern championship, and the defeat of
Cornell, / to 0. by Michigan were the
features of Saturdays football games
which went a long way to demonstrate
the superiority of western football
over the brand played in the east.
The Crimson eleven was forced to
play all the football it knew to de-
feat the sons of Old Nassau. who must
be given credit for playing one Of the
greatest uphill struggles in the his
tory of the gridiron game at Prince
ton. Reports of this struggle plainly
indicated that the Tigers had the bet
ter of the play in the first two periods
and that the second half was about
evenly fought.
Had it not been for Brickley's field
goal in the second quarter, the game
would have resulted in a scoreless tie
and Princeton would have been given
credit for outplaying it's opponents
under the conditions. Harvard, with
its heavier team, should have played
rings around the Tigers. The Crimson
had the advantage of pounds in
weight, which should have enabled
Harvard to make ground by the use

SHEA BREAKS ANKLE

Princeton, n. J., Nov. 10.--The injury
which necessitated the removal of Ed
Shea from the right end of the Prince
ton line in Saturdays game with Har-
ward has turned out to be a broken
ankle. He will be out Of the game for
the remainder of the season.
The other Pinretos players came

es declined to say whether Lamberton,
who replaced Shea in the Harvard
game or J. S. Baker, will be given the
first call for the vacated position.

the game
