GIVE NOTICE OF ABSENCE
Absentees From HOmesteads Must
Furnish Formal Notice.

Homestead absentees must here
after serve notice of their absence
from and of their return to their en-.
tries to the register and receiver of
the land office where their entries are
located upon blanks furnished by the
for that purpose.
Heretofore entrymen desiring to
leave their entries have forwarded in
formal notice to the register and re-
ceiver, and upon their return to their
entries have forwarded like informal
notice of such return, but hereafter
such notices must be made upon the
blanks prepared for that purpose ard
no other notice will be deemed suffi-
cient. These notices can be obtained
by applying. to the local land office
where such entry was made.
Absence from the land for one con-
tinuous period of not more than five
months in each year Is allowed to
homesteaders under the act of June 6,
1912, but such absence cannot be so
arranged as to give five months at the
close of one year and another five
months at the beginning of the second
year, making a continuous absence of
ten months at one time. This, the de-
partment holds, would be an evasion
of the purpose of the law.-Idaho Reg

MICHIGAN PICNIC
Former Residents of Wolverine State
Have Pleasant Day at Filler.

More than sixty former residents of
Michigan, but now true boosters for
the great state of Idaho, and the Twin
Falls tract in particular, held their
annual picnic at the home of F. E..
Allen of Filler, Tuesday of this week.
There was a number present from
Buhl and Filler, but Twin Falls sent
the largest delegation, about thirty
going from this city. The day was
pleasantly spent with amusements of
one kind and another until five o'clock
when the good ladies announced that
dinner was ready, and what a feast
that was set before the hungry ones,
sufficient to say that full justice was
done to 1t and all were loud in their
praise of the good things which were
on the table, The next picnic will be
held in this city, the second Tuesday
in August, 1914, at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. M. c. Ware. The following
were present from this city:
Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Finch and fam
lily, Mr.. and Mrs. S. c. Stewart and

ADDS BIBLE STUDY
TO CURRICULUM
Board Of Education Adopts a
New Plan
INSTRUCTION WILL BE GIVEN BY
THE LOCAL MINISTER'S.
New Course Is Entirely Elective, and
Students May Select Their Own
Churches.

According to plan adopted by the
board of education at it's recent meet
ing, Bible study will hereafter be
added to the curriculum of the city
schools. The plan was drawn up and
presented to the board by the clergy
men of the several churches of the
city, and is one that has been tried
extensively in the east, and is said to
be meeting with general approval.
Rev. w. S. Woodruff acted as
spokesman for the ministers, and the
plan outlined by him was that the
board should set aside a period each
school day, preferably the last, in
which the study of the, Bible should
be taken up. The subject will be cleo
tive, and will be taught by the pastors
of the various churches, not in the
school buildings, but in the individual
churches. The students may elect al
so their place of study, and credit will
be given for the new course as well as
for other subjects.
There will be no cost to the district
| in the new plan, as instruction will, of
course, be given free of charge, and
fby placing 1t at late hour in the
day, it should not interfere seriously
with other school work. The only
point in the new plan about which the
board is somewhat in doubt, is as to
whether the course will be given in
the grades or the high school,

TENNIS FINALS
LAST NIGHT
Jenes and Branaugh to Meet
in the Singles
FASTEST MATCH OF THE SEASON
ON LOCAL GROUNDS.
First Frame Of Doubles Being Played
Off-Final Tournament Comes Next
Week.

Among enthusiasts, nothing much
Is talked about but the present tour
nament. The singles are now ended
The finals were played off last even
ing between Branaugh, who is per-
haps the best exponent of the game in
Idaho, and Jones, young player who
demonstrated his ability in this tour
nament to give Branaugh a hard
match. At time of going to press it
Is impossible to get the final score of
the match.
To say that the tournament has
stimulated tennis in Twin Falls is
putting it mildly. Some great mater
ial is developed out of the game, and
there has been some surprises. Bruce
Anderson is probably the player
more than any, that has attracted at
tentiOn. He started this spring a
very green player, and has developed
by consistent work and training into
a scratch man, and one that will have
to be figured with the coming season
H. ]. Failing has also shown great
form and by his persistent work has
won much applause. Mr.. Failing is
now playing in doubles and the wise
ones figure that he will be in close
| to the finish.
The doubles are being played of
now, and the committee expect b.
THE middle of next week to put on thu
final double game. They are only IL
their first frame so far, and it is hare
to, say who will be the winners, al
with the handicaps the committee be
lieve that they will be able to put or
as near even games as it is possible
and each match will be fight.

MINlDOKA RfSfNTS ATTACKS
Assessor Says County Has Plenty and
Is i'm No Difficulty.

Chester o. Cornwall, assessor of
Minidoka county, and ]. M. Butler,
the county auditor, resent with con-
siderable emphasis the statement that
their county is in financial straits.
They point to the fact that even the
partial valuation shown in the alb
stract filed with the state auditor
shows a total far in excess OF the
5000 900 shown by the whole Of Lin
coin county at the time 1t was organ
.zed
These Minidoka officials resent also
the statement that they will be depen-
dent on the Oregon Short Line for the
support of their county government.
The Short Line could be taken out of
the county altogether, they insist, and
they would still have abundant tax
able property to keep the county ma
chinery going nicely.
"You must bear in mind" said As
SCISSOR Cornwall Tuesday evening,
'that the abstract filed with the state
auditor does not show all our taxable
property. We have still to add the
value of the migratory animals, the
bank stock, the equities in state lands
and the unsecured personal property
1t is conservative to place the value
of all this at $1,000,000.
"Of course Assessor Cornwall
continued, ''It is to be borne IN mint
that the state board OF equalization
will fix the taxable value OF the rail
roads, power transmission lines, tele
phone and telegraph property In th'
county. Estimating the value Of thi
property at what it was last year, W
figure that we have already $5,O00,0O
worth Of property on our tax rolls
and we are confident that the supple
mental roll will add 1000. 900. Un
der such circumstances, all talk q
bankruptcy is worse than nonsense
Minidoka county will take care Of heI
self. and asks no odds OF anybody. AL
we do insist on b a square deal. =

LAND LAWS ARE CRUEL
SO Says Senator BOrah in Letter to
Governor Haines.

"The reclamation law as originally
passed was impossible of execution
without untold hardship to the set
tiers. While passed supposedly in the
interest of the poor man, no man
could carry it out who did not have a
bank account and quite large one.'
'* The law was cruel, incOnsfst-
ent and has turned away and dis
couraged thousands of settlers. -
Again, the government while extra
VACANT and wasteful IN many ways,
has dealt with the settlers as If the
government were not only pauper
but pauper with miserly instincts"
"* Congress passed law pro-
viding that settlers, after the home
stead period of residence, could as
sign their entries, in whole or in part,
to anyone. During what seemed
to be lucid interval the department
construed this law = to-wit, that
the settler could assign to any per-
son.
"But after following this course for
few weeks the department was Wis
tied by one of those Illuminating
spasms of intellectual perversity pe-
culiar to our Washington departments
and construction was announced
that the assignment could only be
made to another qualified homestead
er about which there was absolutely
nothing in the law.
"Our public land laws have been
so executed in such technical, pro-
crastinating, parsimonious way that
thousands of people who would like to
have lands are discouraged"

Greek Bound Over to the Dis

PETER CANARIS HELD ON STA.
TUTORY CHARGE.
Section Hand Admits Wronging 13.
Year.Old Filler Girl-Arrested in
Local ROOming House.

Bound over to the district court un-
der $1,000 bonds, Peter Canaris, a
young Greek section hand, awaits trial
on serious statutory charges. For
four days and nights, ever since his
arrest on Saturday night, the terrified
Greek has refused to touch food. la
boring under the misapprehension
that the county authorities are going
to kill him, In spite of all they can do
to reassure him.
According to the circumstances of
the case brought out at the prelimin-
ary hearing before Judge Shank, it
seems that the accused is employed
on the section between Twin Falls
and Filler. and that he met the girl,
Miss Nellie Jeffreys, at her mothers
home in Filler Miss Jeffreys is a
young girl, only thirteen years of age,
and according to her testimony, her
mother was very much impressed
with the Greek, and advised her
daughter to drop other acquaintances
for him.
On the day of the crime, it seems
that Mrs. Jeffreys accompanied by he1
daughter, went to Kimberly, met Can.
aris, went with him to Shoshone falls
and thence to Twin Falls. Here Mrs
Jeffreys left her daughter in care oi
the Greek, who took her to moving
picture show, and afterwards to &
rooming house. There under pretex
that he could find no other room, ht
occupied one with the girl. The 10
cal officers had been tipped off ant
made his arrest that same night. TIL,
testimony in the whole case seem,
vague and uncertain and 1t is doubt
| full where the whole blame should lie
Canaris admits his guilt, but tn,
mother does not seem to realize tn,
Unconscious part she has played il
her daughters ruin.
Under the law the minimum penal
ty for Canaris' crime is five years il

Lands" says: 'Iliff was a notable
figure at college in his day. A pow
erful physique and with a great fund
of animal spirit, he made himself
heard and felt everywhere. In his
sphere of activity the same qualities
combined with earnestness of pur-
pose and resistless impetuosity have
gained for him the title of the West
ern Cyclone He delighted in athletic
exercises, and could run over every
thing in college that stood against him
in rush or a football tussle. His
voice could be heard everywhere. II
he was declaiming in his room the
whole college knew it. His voice
could be heard in any crowd and at
any hour of the day or night, singing,
hallooing or laughing. AT the same
time he manifested that force of char
acter which has been the chief factor
of his subsequent success"
| He graduated from the Ohio Univer-
| sity at Athens Ohio, in 1870, and en-
tered at once the ministry of the
Methodist church. In 1871 he was ap-
pointed missionary to Montana, and
