Real, old-fashioned minstrelsy finely
portrayed by company headed by the
Veterans, George Primrose and Lew

in the Auditorium last evening. 1t is
a pity that more lovers of burnt-cork
comedy were not on hand to enjoy the
performance, for it was without ques

been in Brattleboro in years. The reg

George H. Thurston. Harry Webster

Lambert gave spirited Interpretation

SWATTfD COYOTE With CLUB
DOmesticated Chicken Impairs Yisi-
tors Jumping Ability.

Twenty-Five spring chickens cost a
coyote his life Sunday night at the
chicken coop belonging to A. N. Flory,
when the stray from the sage brush
attempted to jump fence easily nego-
tiated in his more agile moments, but
failed owing to over weight of tooth
some springers. Attracted to his
chicken coop in the middle of the
night, A. n Flory, living on Second
avenue North, found his coop resemb-
ling the shambles and live coyote as
the cause of the havoc, vainly attempt
ing to leap the chicken fence. Selling
a stout club, the irate chicken owner
soon had a dead coyote and his pelt tC
pay for about twenty-five young chick
ems killed and partly eaten by the
midnight visitor. Greed for the sue
culent young fry alone can be said tc
have caused the coyote to overstay his
welcome and overestimate his athle-
tic ability

FAILED TO GET SIGNfRS
Bingham County Local Option Election
Has Been Indefinitely Postponed.

T. j. Bennett, former member of the
Bingham county board of county COM
missioners, was up from Shelley We'd
nesday and states that the reason the
local option election was postponed in
Bingham county is that the petitioners
asking for the election failed to secure
a legal number of signers in order to
call the election and for that reason
the matter was postponed.
Mr.. Bennett states that the majority
of the people of Bingham county do
not want the election called, feeling
that it would be an unnecessary eX-
pense; that the majority of the peo-
pie do not want saloons and that the
election would go dry if held, The
people of that county who are in favor
of local option are satisfied with the
results, feeling that great good has
been accomplished and that the sale
of liquor has been greatly restricted.

The exhibits from the fair will held
in one large group and will be brought

it away from them.
An invitation is extended by the live
bunch of Kimberly to the rest of the
live ones in the county to join hands
in making the Boosters Day better
than ever this year. Twin Falls boos
ters should mark September 18th OF

|DAH0'S PLACE IN
ELECTRICAL WORLD
Ranks First in Nation as to
Use
DEVELOPMENTS HERE WATCHED
BY LARGE POWER CENTERS.
More Electrically Heated Homes and
More Appliances Used Than Large
Eastern Cities.

Though one of the youngest states
in the Union and perhaps the latest to
undertake extensive electrical devel-
opment, Idaho is coming to be known
all over the world for its wonderful
water power developments and for the
giant strides it has taken in bringing
about the general adaptation and use
Of electricity in all branches of the
industrial and home life of it's citizen
ship.
The application of electric power to
the reclamation of semi-arid land by
means of large and numerous irriga-
ton pumping plants has been brought
about very extensively in Southern
Idaho. The fact that an enormous
surplus of power becomes available
each winter, on account of it's non-use
for irrigation purposes during that
season, has made it possible to utilize
electricity for general household and
industrial heating purposes on very
extensive scale. 1t is, in fact, beyond
question that more land is being re-
claimed and more general heating is
being done in Idaho, through the
agency of electric power, than any
where else in the world. Notable eX-
amples of the application of electri-
| city for heating purposes are the high
| school building at Mountain Home,
| Idaho, and the General hospital at
| Twin Falls, Idaho The former is a
large, forty-five-room building, and is
heated throughout by means of we'll
distributed air radiators. The latter is
a large structure, in which an cleo
trio water heater has been substituted
| for the furnace in the ordinary hot
water system already installed. The
| former makes use of $50 kilowatt in
stallation and the latter requires a 60
kilowatt equipment. Each has proved
entirely satisfactory after one years
operation.
Electric cooking also is becoming
more and more prevalent in Southern
Idaho. The Kuhn interests have near
ly two hundred complete electric
range installations in operation on
their numerous lines. Five large ho-
tells are using electricity entirely for
cooking purposes. The subtitle fluid is
being utilized extensively for heating
water for domestic and industrial pur-
poses, for the bath, and for the var
ious ordinary purposes.
Many of the houses that have been
recently constructed are chimneyless,
electricity being relied upon entirely
for lighting, heating and cooking SER
vice. The unwired house is more or
less of curiosity and the house that
is not equipped with one or more cleo
trically operated heating, cooking, or
labor-saving devices is really an ex-
ception.
All this wonderful development is in
a new and rapidly growing country,
where the most extensive growth has
taken place during the past five years.
What the future of Southern Idaho
will be from an electrical standpoint
only can be imagined by considering

FROM CAREY ACT
TO DESERT LAND
For Benefit of Settlers on Poor
Lands Of Tract
LAND BOARD AUTHORIZE CHANGE
ON SALMON RIVER PROJECT.
Board, However, Decides 1t Will Not
Make Practice of Such AuthOriza.
ton.

At a meeting of the state land board
on Thursday permission was granted
to several settlers and land owners on
the Twin Falls-Salmon River Land &
Water company's project to transfer
their water rights from Carey act
lands to desert entries. This was in
cases where the settlers discovered
they held poor Carey act land and felt
they could better themselves by max
ing the transfer of their water rights
to desert claims.
But the board decided it would be
slow in granting permission for trans
fers of this kind in the future. 1t was
decided preference would be given to
actual settlers on the land to those
who had purchased relinquishments
for speculative purposes. If actual
settlers can demonstrate to the board
it is to their advantage to make a
change of this kind, permission will be
granted; but such permission will
never be given in the future except in
case of actual settlers. S. d. Taylor
the Carey act agent, presented a rule
covering this ground and it was adopt
ed by the board.
1t was pointed out the water supply
on this project was none too great
that the actual settlers on the lanC
were entitled to first consideration il
| the distribution Of the water and thai
| the board would not be justified in en-.
couraging speculation of any kind
Another action of great Importance
| to the settlers on this project was the
| adoption of a resolution by the boart
to the effect that final proof from set
! tiers on the tract could be made any
| time within three years from April
| 1912
| This action is of more importance tt
the settlers than appears on the sur
face. Notice of availability of watel
was served on the settlers in the sum
mer of 1911 and an attempt was made
to raise crops this year, but the ser
vice was unsatisfactory and the crop:
were not success. Under the Law
they would have but three years TO-
making final proof from the date o
the notice of availability of water Blu
the land board decided to eliminat,
that first year altogether and start il
with April 1, 1912, and give them thre,
full years from that date in which t.
make their improvements and submi
their final proof.
S. D. Taylor, the Carey act agent
who has been devoting much time to
study of conditions on this Salmon
river project, was before the board a
both morning and afternoon session
to assist the board in it's deliberations

PLEASED WITH SEED FARM
Heavy Stakeholder Visits the Local
Project.

State Treasurer o. V. Allen was a
visitor in this city last Thursday as
the guest OF his brother, Fl. F. Allen.
While here Mr.. Allen visited the two
big ranches of the Twin Falls Seed
Farm company near the cities of Hol-
lister and Buhl and inspected the work
being done to bring the land under
cultivation. AS stockholder in the
company the state treasurer stated to
the Times that he found everything in
splendid shape and that he considered
the project a good one and rounding
into good shape. 1t is the intention OF
the manager to put in the first CROP
next spring on the two ranches
amounting to $50 acres.
