FALLS BRIDGE
IS To Be BUILT
THAT is, IF STATE AND LINCOLN
COUNTY WILL AGREE TO
CONTRIBUTE.

A publis meeting called by the coun-
ty commissioners Of Twin Falls has
resulted in the settlement of the con-
troversy over the question of raising
the necessary funds for the proposed
bridge over the Snake river at Sho-
shone Falls. The need was met by
the agreement of the commissioners
to levy a tax of half mill. Mean
while the work can go on and the
cost be met from available surplus
funds Of the county on hand. The
bridge will be started at once or as
soon as weather conditions will per-
nit. The state is expected to con-
tribute $4,000 and Lincoln county
the balance required. The matter has
never been presented to or consid-
cred BY the commissioners of this
county.
The proposed bridge would be the
greatest advantage to Twin Falls and
possibly some advantage to Shoshone
but of doubtful advantage to Jerome,
whose local trade for the merchants
of that town would naturally be di-
verted to some extent to the town on
the South Side of the Snake. 1t is
expected that the question of a spec
al levy in Lincoln will be brought
before the commissioners at an early
meeting.

STRONG DRAMA
FOR JANUARY 80
"lITTLE LOST SISTER" COMING
FOR ONE NOTABLE
NIGHT.

Honest in its-appeal and far reach
ing in its moral is Little Lost Sis
ter" the Illuminating white slave play
which comes to sthe Baugh theatre
next week for the night of January
so. Miss Virginia Brooks. the Joan
Of Arc of West Hammond, III, who
made the town fit to live in, is res
responsible for the book. E. E. Rose
put the book into stage form. Every
member of the company spent the
summer in Chicago's levee district
studying conditions there before the
play was produced.
Perhaps there is no girl in the coun-
try who has had such vast expert
ence in the underworld of a big city
as Miss Brooks. She has depicted
what she has seen with the kindly aid
of Mr.. Rose.
The play has been lauded by press.
pulpit and public. 1t has achieved
nation wide plaudits. One Chicago
declared every person should
see the play. Let it be hoped that
every person shall have this chance.
The play deals with the curse of the
nation. white slavery, and prescribes
a possible remedy. At least it points
out conditions and directs the public
into the lurid byways of the under
world.

HEAVY TAX PAYMENTS
INDICATE PROSPERITY

A statement just compiled by the
auditors office for County Treasurer
and Tax Collector Vernon V. Bower
makes the gratifying showing that in
spite of the false cry of hard times
people are paying tneir taxes with
unusual promptness. In the grand
total of s214, 396.25 due January only
s3f, ,375.46 went delinquent. The ac-
tual cash receipts footed up the total
of s155.67s.S6, against Jess than half
that amount in former years. No
exact comparison can be made be-
cause the collections in former years
were from Lincoln county before it's
division. The collections, however,
were in February. 1913. s2O5.2ss.67 with
s124, ,e21.17 as second instalments and
s64,27s.71 delinquencies.
The compilation. which is handy
reference guide for the commissioners
in showing the exact state of all the
funds, represents a lot Of pa
tient work at the hands of Deputy
Clerk John H. Helman.
