CARS HAVE
A NARROW ESCAPE
Only Small Damage Results
from What Might Have Been
Serious Collision.

What might have been serious col
hsion was narrowly averted by the
GOODNESS of a motorman on one of the
Watch Tower line cars early last even
ing.
1t is stated that one of the cars
filled to capacity was following i'm
mediately behind another when the &C,
cident occurred. The first car slowed
down to enter switch but in some
manner the brakes ON the second car
refused to work for moment and a
rear end collision followed.
Just before the impact, however, the
use of the brakes was restored by the
motorman, who CALAMITY stood at his
post and while Il came too late to save
damaging fender on each car, i;
caused the speed of the car to be
diminished enough to avert serious
damage.

Of these men, to whose faith and
courage the state owes much. More.
over, business men in the southern
Idaho towns threw their support be.
hind the projects with the result that
communities became unit in work,
ing for, boosting and anticipating the
future of their sections.
Beyond the confines of Twin Falls
County the spirit of Improvement is
no less. Where the government has
not taken hold of projects private cor
porations have undertaken the task,
and the Twin Falls Oakley project is
but one of them. Irrigation started
slowly in Idaho, the people going con
servatively for several years. But in
1909 % projects were launched through
out the state, and of these southern
Idaho received its share. Experts have
repeatedly examined the soil of it's
fertile valleys and pronounced it ex-
cellent. Demonstrations have repeat
edly been made with the same verdict.
1t is not surprising then that capital
should seek these fields on which the
eyes of the East had been turned
through the enterprising publicity eff
forts of commercial organizations. The
fields of waving grain, alfalfa, the
blooming orchards and the luxuriant
gardens today greet the eye as the

which is now in use to convey the
water around the dam is a tunnel
bored through the solid rock 700 feet
IN length and 10 feet square. The
bottom is on level with the stream
bed.
For years "Twin Fails" has been
almost trade mark for southern
Idaho. And rightly so, for the county
OF Twin Falls stands today as the
banner irrigation county of the state,
and indeed of the Northwest. No
other county in the state can boast
so great a proportion of its farmed
land under the ditch. And this
progress has been very rapid. Twin
Falls has believed in the mission of
irrigation from the very first. That
is why the country about the city of
Twin Falls has come under the spell
of the irrigation fever. Those who
have watched the development of this
splendid fruit and farming district
have seen barren wastes turned into
fertile fields and the desert veritably
made to blossom as the rose. I'M
mense orchard companies have entered
the field because they believed in the
country and the irrigation business.
1t needed but small demonstration
to prove to the less sanguine that
with water to turn upon the soil at
will the country would come into its
