Gty Council Take Action Today on Propo-
sal of Beaver River Co.
New franchise More Favorable Than Granted Elsewhere Nv
Same Company. Maximum Lighting Rate
Of Eleven Gents.

The city council met last night in
an adjourned meeting to listen to the
proposal of the Beaver River Power
company through it's attorney, Jesse
Hawley of Boise, for a franchise for
lights and power into this city. The
rough draft of the proposed franchise
published in this paper last Friday,
was the basis of the proposal and the
matter was very thoroughly gone over
by the council. At the session were
present representatives from the
Kuhn interests who protested against
the terms of the franchise, claiming
that 1t was more favorable than the
one held by their company inasmuch
that 1t does not require them to fur
nish heat and power in accordance
with their own franchise. Their OBJ
lection, however, failed to change the
minds of the council, and the Beaver
River people were given to under
stand that today the franchise would
be issued. At o'clock today the
council met with Mr.. Hawley and the
matters adjusted satisfactorily.
Mr.. Hawley in an interview with
The Times, stated that his companys
acceptance of the franchise would OF
course rest with consumers and that
II four hundred contracts in this city
can be made, the franchise will be ac-
ceptable and work begun within a
short time. Mr.. Hawley stated that
great many people misunderstood
the rights of public utility corpora

PROJECT OPENED
Twin faI|s-Shoshone Canal Co.
Receives Patents.
WILL IRRIGATE $500 ACRES IN
SHOSHONE BASIN.
bitches Already Running Full with
Water Before State Grants Rights
to Company.

The Twin Falls-Shoshone Canal
company appeared before the land
board through number of it's rep
resentatives last Thursday and asked
permission to sell water to settlers
under the system. This company or
ganized a little district of its own in
the Shoshone basin about thirty miles
south of Twin Falls, using the water
OF ShOshOne creek for its purposes.
There are but $4,000 acres in the dis
trict. The men who organized the
company, but few in number, expend-
ed $4,000 on the project, and then
discovered that it had not secured the
right from the state to sell water to
the settlers on the project. It ap-
peared before the land board at its
meeting Thursday afternoon with a
petition that it be given this right.
The land board, convinced by a re-
port from State Engineer King that
the project was all right, granted the
petition.
The company which was financed
by J. E. Lands, w. H. Long and F. L.
Diffendarfer, through the above error
had done something that most irriga-
tion companies never do land had the
water flowing and ready for delivery
before allowed to sell water rights.
The land in question is very fertile
and should prove mighty profitable
territory for this city.

The Twin Falls Shoshone Canal

lions, and that in their attempt to en-
ter Boise, the Idaho-Oregon, the rival
company, attempted to force people
70 sign up contracts or refuse them
lights. Mr.. Hawley stated that his
company took up one such case re-
ported, and in short time demon
strated that the public service COM
pany must furnish lights and power or
lose Its franchise and be liable for
prosecution. He stated emphatically
that the, people of this city do not
have to sign up contracts with the
present company in order to get lights
while the Beaver River company is
coming into this territory.
1t 1s the practice of the Beaver Riv-
er people to employ local help as
much as possible and that in Boise
It spent $1,000 weekly for common day
labor. The payroll added to the city
would be worth while.
The question of rates when put up
to Mr.. Hawley, brought forth the fol-
lowing statements: Our lighting rate
for this city will be nine cents with
a graduated scale downward, accord
Ing to amount consumed. The power
rate will be seven cents maximum
with rapid downward scale for
heavy consumers" Mr.. Hawley stat
ed that the franchise in his opinion
greatly favors the city and that it is
the most. liberal one granted any city.
The fixed maximum rate being set at
eleven cents for light.

LOCAL MUSICIANS
PLEASE AUDIENCE
Chimes Of Normandy a Stellar
Attraction.
PRODUCTION SUPERIOR TO PRO,
FESSIONAL COMPANIES.
Sixty Home People in Pretty and
Striking Costumes Give Evening
of Music,

The Chimes of Normandy, a musi-
cal comedy by home talent, is the
chief topic of conversation today as
the result of most successful en-
tertalnment given last night in the
high school auditorium. Sixty local
musicians took part in the comedy
and without exception every member
OF the cast aided in making the mu-
SIC and plot go with vim and snap.
100 much cannot be said in praise
or the chorus which showed a har-
mony OF voice and volume of sound
that excelled many of the choruses In
professional companies. The quar-
tette OF village maidens, composed of
Mesdames, Wiley and Tucker, Misses
Combs and Libert, was exceptionally
fine in the musical parts and in the
pretty and graceful dances.
Mrs. Buckley and DR.. Higgins in
two of the most difficult parts as Ser
polette and Gaspard were far better
than most professional, and gave
some strong indications of histrionic
ability. G.. J. Reid, as the Marquis,
and Miss Galagan, as the lost Mar
ch1oness, were also heartily encored
for the solo and duet parts every
time.
The following is the cast of char
acter in the comedy which was staged

terprise.

About thirty people from this city

attending the opening of that city's
newest establishment-Hote Craven.

ment was the equal of any of the
hotels OF this section of the state, and
that Hollister should be very proud
OF it. H. W. Craven, the banker of
Holl1ster and the proprietor and orig
lnator OF the plan to help his home
city, came in for some very compli-
mentary remarks from both his fellow
townsmen and his guests from this
city.
The hotel lighted from cellar to roof
was filled with the many devotees of
the light fantastic who enjoyed the
informal dance in the big parlor and
living room, and later the most ex-
cellent supper served by Twin
Falls famed caterer, D. S. Hall of the
Peoples Cafe.
Those attending from this city
were: Mr.. and Mrs. Willet Hance, Mrs.
|. B. Perrine, Miss Stella Perrine,

BASE BALL SUNDAY
First Game With Outside Team
Scheduled.

The Twin Falls team will
cross bats with the strong
American Falls contingent next
Sunday afternoon at the ball
park, arrangements having been
completed by Manager Chaplin
early this week. The Amer
ican Falls team played a good
article of baseball last year, and
showed remarkable class in it's
game with the strong Pocatello
outfit, near the close of the sea-
son. Bursing, the big twirler
for the locals, is rounding into
shape, and will be on the
mound for the home boys, with
Chaplin behind the plate. The
ball park has been put into
good condition, and the grand
stand repaired. The local play
ers are at practice work every
afternoon, and are showing
splendid form. Some slight
changes in position have been
made, which will strengthen the
infield. A rafting good game is
expected with the American
Falls team. The game will be
called at $500 p. m. sharp.

The many drawbacks to the form

The undersigned, members of the

doubtful il any benefit could be de-

We would therefore advise against
