MANY PLAN VISIT
Salt Lake Boosters VIII be Here Next
Sunday.

Secretary Mcmillan of the Twin
Falls Commercial club, left today for
his home much pleased by the interest
shown by the Salt Lake business men
in the scheduled business excursion.
Mr.. Mcmillan stated that to date
there had been more than sixty reser-
vations and that by Saturday he ex-
pected there would be at least a hun
dred. The train leaves Salt Lake City
at 8 O'Clock Saturday evening and ar
rives at Twin Falls at the following
morning. After breakfast the Twin
Falls citizens will take the Salt Lakers
on an auto trip to the principal points
OF interest i'll and around the city, In
all pleasant day is assured, and
nothing will be left undone, Mr.. Me-
MILAN says, in order to show the visi-
tors a good time.
The return trip will be made Sun
day evening. The Twin Falls man says
he is satisfied the visitors will be sing
ing the praises of Twin Falls when
they return; in fact, he is afraid that
some of the business men will want to
remain.-Salt Lake Telegram.

CHOLERA IS STAMPED OUT
High Praise for Farmers and Stock.
men OF Twin Falls Section of State,

State officials and stockmen who
nave been fighting hog cholera for
months are encouraged to think now
that they have the disease pretty well
stamped out, but they are abating none
or their vigilance, knowing how dead
ly the disease is in its effects and how
quickly it can be scattered.
DR.. V. G. White, state veterinarian,
and Dean Carlyle of the University of
Idaho, made hurried trip to the Twin
Falls section late last week. They
found one case of cholera at Buhl. 1t
was being ably handled by the district
deputy. Another case was found near
Twin Falls, and in this case a SOW and
her litter of pigs were killed
There was fresh outbreak report
ed after DR.. White and Dean Carlyle
left that section. On receipt of the re-
port DR.. White hurried back and
found that cholera had broken out in
herd of 800 hogs on one of the
ranches. With his deputy he at once
began the work of innoculating the
entire herd with serum imported from
the east.
Dr. White is more than enthusiastic
over conditions in the Twin Falls sec

the country. My, but it looks fine
down there! The best part of it can
not be seen from the train. 1t is nee
essary to get out into the country, es-

WOULD LEAP
FROM FALLS
Twin Falls Man Offers Daring
Proposition
FOR MONEY WOULD DUPLICATE
INDIANS STUNT AT SHOSHONE.
X. NJ. Sparks Claims Stunt is Not
Impossible For a Strong SWIM
mer.

Five years ago an Indian, after too
close application to firewater jumped
over Shoshone falls, a distance of two
hundred and twelve feet, and came
out badly battered but alive. 1t was
then believed that no one but a drunk
en- man could have miraculously miss
ed the big rocks below the falls. 1t
remains, however, for a Twin Falls
man, perfectly sober and in his right
senses to offer to repeat the stunt if
a sufficient purse can be made up.
The man is R. M. Sparks, a well
known painter and paper hanger of
this city, and he is in earnest, accord
ing to his statement made to this
paper.
Mr.. Sparks says that the leap is not
nearly as dangerous as it looks, and
that he believes that he can easily
avoid the rocks and swim strongly
enough to overcome the undertow
which must be terrific just below the
falls. He says that it is a bona-fide
offer on his part.
Sparks has been an animal trainer
in the past, entering cages of leopards
and tigers for the amusement of the
| public. He has also made several
| high dives and claims to be an expert
swimmer.

CLOUD BURST ON ROCK CREEK
Hail and Water Makes Things Lively
on Rock Greek, Sunday.

A cloud burst, accompanied by a
terrific hail storm, visited the south
and east portion of Rock Creek last
Sunday afternoon. Rain came down
in buckets full. The creek was out on
dress parade, all the gulches were
swimming. The canal was two feet
above high water mark in a couple of
hours. The siphons across the canal
were unable to accommodate the rush
The water was backed up over the
meadows above the canal for several
hundred yards. A party of men who
had been out hunting chickens came
down off the mountains four hours af-
ter, and report the road washed con-
siderable and hail as large as hen s
egg drifted in great heaps.

WIN SECOND GAME FROM RUPERT
Twin Falls Ahead in Exciting Seven
Inning Batfest.

By score of to /, Twin Falls Sc
cured the final game with Rupert, al
though the finish was far from salts
factory to the fans. By decision of
Umpire Golden the game was called
on account of darkness at the end of
the seventh inning. The score at that
time was the above. But in the
eighth inning Rupert landed on Cling
er so hard that he had to be pulled out
and Bersing sent in. The old stager,
however, with the bases full, was un-
able to stop two scores as the result
of short infield hit. Rupert, accord
ing to the score, would have been one
ahead. Owing to darkness and a
threatening storm Golden refused to
allow the second half of the inning to
be played. Following is the box score
and summary of the game.

pose of the company to make game

teen are taken. After that the price
will be raised to two hundred fifty.

BRIDGE IS COMPLETED
Structure Over Rock Creek Will Carry
Heaviest Loads Demanded.

The bridge forces of the Short Line
have moved from Twin Falls, where
the Rock creek bridge has just been
completed. This is a splendid steel
structure of the highest tensile
strength. The new bridge will carry
the heaviest loads demanded by any
equipment and in it's construction the
company had in view it's ultimate use
by the through trains over the pro-
posed Nevada cutoff, from Twin Falls
to Wells, soon to be constructed, ac-
cording to the definite plans of the
company. This road will undoubtedly
carry much of the overland traffic.

attracted little attention outside of
the towns and cities, apparently, from
the vote cast, which was one-half the
registration of the last general cleo

three-flfths OF the total vote in the

seventy-five voted No. In Buhl, oppo-

SUB-STATION BURNED

Power in City Off for Short Time,

Word was received in this city Tues
day afternoon that the sub-station of
the Great Shoshone and Twin Falls
Light and Power company, located at
ShOshOne, had burned. For a short
time the power was off in this city,
but it was only short time until
Twin Falls was connected with the
Lower Salmon Falls plant and every
thing went along as if nothing had
happened.

OF a number that the voting of bonds
would solidly weld Buhl to this county
and prevent future action on county
division. The bridge bond issue which
would put in two bridges near this
city was most bitterly fought by the
Buhl bunch. Hansen and Rock Creek
and Castleford also cast their maiori-
ties against the issue. The vote by
precincts for the two issues is given
below.

In the dark and dusty streets OF
New York there lived poor woman
and her Two sons. Harry and Phil.
Their mother was as faded flower,
which had once been as happy and
az bright as sunshine. but she had
married drunkard, and all of her
happy days We're passed. perhaps
never again to return.
Harry and Phil were her only com
forts They We're both very much like
her in their dispositions. They did
everything in their lower to make her
happy, and to bring the bright smile
back to her face. but they were very
seldom successful
They went out every day and work
ed hard to make enough money &c
satisfy their hunger, and buy clothes
They would often 90 to bed hungry
and cold, without telling their mothe,
about it. FoI they knew she could
do nothing but worry. and they tried
to keep her as cheerful as possibl
They hoped that better days would
soon come.
One day as Harry and Phil were
going to town TO buy bread for their
supper and 20 get some knitting thread
for their mother they saw kind
looking old man walking towards
them, They were little frightened
when he stopped beside them and
asked. Aren't you little boys cold
wouldn't you like 70 have some pretty
clothes like the other boys in town p
20, thank you. sirl but we would
rather have you give our share &c
mother, for she needs clothes more
than we. We can go with our
clothes a little longer" answered the
little boys
"Ah, you are the very boys l have
been looking. for to come and pu,
some wood IN the woodhouse for me
and / have at last found the ones
that l think ! can trust. Would you
like TO have work - asked the old
man. Yes. sir indeed we would"
answered the two boys in unison.
well. come on and get into my
car, and tell me where you live sc
that l may get your mothers con-
sent"
The boys obeyed but they could no,
believe that they We're in one of those
fine automobiles that they had seen
on the streets; and had wished SO
much to ride in
Their mother was very glad TO have
her boys working so she promised to
let them go TO his house the next
morning
They worked and supported their
mother until she died. They were
almost crushed but they tried to
think of her as being happy. and they
knew that she was free from her
troubles forever
Although their father had been I'M
kind to them, Yet they did not forget
him,
1t was now too late 10 be forgiven by
his wife, but il was not too late to lead
new life and 10 make his two sons
happy. He was truly sorry for his
evi. way Of living and he turned from
his evil ways into the road his wife
had wished 50 much for him TO fol-
low When he passed away he was
