n. ". BUYS RIGHT OF WAY
Idaho Falls People Look to See
Graders For Road Soon.

Residents of Idaho Falls expect to
see a gang of graders under the su-
pervision of the Chicago & Northwest
ern railroad coming into that town at
almost any time in the near future,
according to G. G. Wright of that city,
who is at the Semloh hotel, says the
Herald Republican Rights of way
have been purchased from Lander,
Wyo., into Idaho and the checks which
paid for the land, Mr.. Wright said,
were drawn by the Northwestern line.
while the traffic agreement was in
force between the Union Pacific and
the Northwestern line it was impossi-
BILE to build the road to Oregon" said
Mr.. Wright Now the railroad peo-
pie inform us that the Union Pacific
is running it's fast train over the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul, and the
people in Idaho Falls and other Idaho
points have petitioned the Northwest
ern people to come into that country.
Every time that we go after the
Northwestern, something intervenes
to prevent it from building, but with
the opening of the Panama canal the
road, we think will build to Coos bay
on the Oregon coast in order to get
an outlet to the Pacific. We hope that
this will materialize and on the
strength of the purchase of a right OF
way property values along the pro-
posed route have scared

THE Community BUILDER HERE
George 5. Irving Coaches Commercial Club
on Bigger and Better City
Week Will Be Devoted to Membership Campaign for Club and
to Devising Publicity Plans for the future

How to build up bigger and bet
ter Twin Falls will be this week the
burden OF Mr.. George S. Irving OF
Chicago, a specialist in reviving Com
mercial clubs and waning city
loyalty. Mr.. Irving arrived in
this city the first of the week
and began his campaign by
getting around among the members of
the club during the morning. Mon
day noon Secretary Mcmillan gathered
a number of the club boosters togeth-
er in social luncheon to meet Mr..
Irving and Mrs. r. G. Beach, president
of the Commercial Club League of the
state Mr.. Beach was called upon to
talk and briefly stated the object OF
the league and the desire to enlist
Twin Falls in the work Another sug-
gestion of Beach's hit a responsive
chord in the gathering in the idea OF
getting pictures of the refrigerator
cars being loaded at the stations in
the county and showing the same tc

RACE FOR GOLD mine
Hunter Finds Rock While I'm Hills
That Runs High in Gold.

Central Idaho is witnessing spir-
tied race for a gold mine as the Miner
goes to press. A team and lone driver
left town a couple of days ago, headed
for recent new strike that gave
sensational assays and the discoverer
of the apparently rich ledge left soon
after with an auto.
A few weeks ago while hunting in
the Banana country, F. Eugene Gray
carelessly took a sample and upon his
return home sent it away for an assay.
A few days ago he received the certi-
ficate and was surprised to learn that
his discovery rock went nearly $4,000
in gold and silver. He was acconpan-
led on the trip by a Mr.. Kerns, but
was alone when the discovery was
made. Kerns, learning of the rich
ness of the rock, quietly outfitted for a
trip for the hunting grounds, prepared
for locating claims. Gray got wise to
the move and he and John Burnett left
in an auto soon after and the two par
ties have been making a mad dash
over mountain roads for the gold
strike.-Mackay Miner.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
Governor John M. Haines Asks People
of Idaho to Give Thanks.

Dating back practically to the first
settlement of this continent, the GUS
tom has prevailed OF setting aside one
day in each year as day OF thanks
giving to Almighty God for his mani
fold blessings to our people.
This praise worthy custom should
ever be perpetuated. Eacn year brings
its own blessings and rewards, and a
grateful and devout people shouiu
ever be willing to voice their obliga-
tions to Divine Providence for His
sheltering protection and abundant
moral and material gifts vouchsafed
to them.
But in addition to thanking God for
our great material progress and for
the blessings of forest, field and mine,
we should seek divine guidance in the
proper use of that which comes into
our hands.
We should pray to be delivered from
that spirit of extravaganza which af-
fects not only our individual but also
our collective actions, and which year
ly adds to the cost of living. In its
place we should seek to have incul-
Gated that spirit of thrift which char
acterized our forebears, and upon
which the permanent prosperity of the
individual and of the State must ever
rest
In obedience to this long established
custom, l, John M. Haines, governor
of the state of Idaho, do join with the
president of the United States in desig-
mating Thursday, November 81, 1913
as a day of public thanksgiving fo1
the people of this state. | ask that all
business cares be laid aside and that
the day be observed in all ou1
churches and homes as a day o1
| thanksgiving and prayer.
In testimony whereof, l have here
unto set my hand and caused the
great seal of the state to be affixed
at Boise, Idaho, this fifth day of No
vember, in the year of our Lord one
thousand nine hundred and thirteen.

Land.

According to adyices received by
the Times from Congressman Addi-
son T. Smith, the private pumping
plant planned by City Engineer E. v.
Berg and others of this city just south
of Filler above the high line, will come
into being. The land which has new
er been segregated by the Salmon
river project and belonging to the
federal government, will get it's water
by pumping from the high line canal
and will water three thousand thirty

TOfNLARCf SOUTH SIDE SYSTEM
MinidOka Irrigation Project VIII Re-
ceive New Acreage.

The irrigation system of the South
Side Minidoka project is to be en-
larged. At a meeting of the directors
of the WateruSerS' association with
Chief Engineer Weymouth and Con-
sulting Engineer Heney of the recla-
nation service here last Saturday, a
plan of action was agreed upon.
The directors of the waterusers' as
sociation passed a resolution favor
ing an increase of 20 per cent in the
pumping capacity and an enlargement
of the canals where necessary to meet
the demands of the increase in the
pumps. This action was taken after
Engineer Heney, the man appointed by
Secretary Lane to investigate the
shortage of water on the South Side,
assured the directors that an increase
of 20 per cent in the amount of wa
ter delivered could be had at a cost
not to exceed $3.50 additional per acre
on the $4,000 acres of land under the
pumps, or total of 100000.
This will be accomplished with lit
tie or no work on the gravity canal,
and but little on the feeder canals to
the pumping stations and the three
main lift canals. The head of wa
ter, or the height of the lifts, at each
of the three pumping stations will be
equalized and the efficiency of the
present pumps will be made greater
by equipping them with new and up
to-date runners, which the manufac-
turers guarantee will give an increase
of at least 20 per cent over those now
/ in use.
1t appears that to enlarge the sys-
TEN more than 20 per cent would en-
! tail an enormous expense, as the pow
|er plant, the pumps and all the canals
would have to be made over. The pro-
| posed increase of 90 per cent will en-
! able the government to deliver the
contracted amount of water to every
farm unit under the system, which il
| is felt will be sufficient. However
should experience prove otherwise the
money spent in the present proposed
| increase in the efficiency of the pumps
will assist in necessary future en-
largements. s.-Burley Bulletin.
