STEPS TOWARD WATER SYSTEM
City Authorities Apply for Writ Of
Convenience
Will Call for Bond Issue Of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars
Upon Obtaining Consent Of Commission

considered here, is not known, but the
bond issue will be made broad enough
to include all possible actions with re-
gard to obtaining control of the field.
The plan outlined sometime ago in
this paper was the result of several
months investigation by Engineer F.
c. Horn, who recently died in Arizona.
Owing to the need for shutting off the
winter flow of water in the canals,
the present source of the city's water
supply, the plan of Mr.. Horn calls for
a big pipe line for distance of thir-
teen miles from a point on the main
canal above what is called the Point
Spillway. Here settling reservoir
and filtration plant will be constructed
so that water turned into the canal
for the city supply can be utilized or
spilled into the Snake at the Point.
Estimates for completing the whole
system approximates the figures given
above with low estimate put on the
present system.

SHOOTING CLOSES JANUARY IS
Duck Season Outlives the Fine Fall
Weather.

There seems to be some impression
that the duck season closes on the
18th of this month. This is a mis-
take, says the sporting editor of the
Pocatello Tribune, and is caused by
the reading on the license, which was
made necessary at the time the licen-
SEES were printed as the federal mi
gratory bird law originally contem-
plated closing the season on that date
and the licenses endeavored to COM
ply with the provisions of the meas
ure as it was then framed.
The federal migratory bird law did
not go into effect as matter of fact,
until the first of October, and the
open season continues until the 18th
of January, so that the sportsmen
will still have considerable shooting
this season.
Next season the licenses will carry
the dates and Notwithstanding they
don't read that way now the federal
law is operative and no one will be
molested because of the wording on
the license, as the exact date could
not be figured at the time the licen-
SEES were issued.
Hereafter the open season on mi
gratory birds, which includes ducks
geese, etc., will be from October 1st
to January 18TH

CRASHED INTO CANAL
Carl Nelson's Auto Skids off Bridge on
High Line Sunday.

While coming into Twin Falls Sun
day morning for doctor for a member
of his family, Carl Nelson, who lives
about four miles south of town, had an
experience, which he does not care to
repeat Mr.. Nelson was driving his
Overland car at high rate OF speed,
and all went we'll, until he attempted
to cross the bridge which spans the
high line canal. In trying to make
the turn on the bridge, the car, on ac-
count of the new snow, failed to res
pond to the steering wheel, striking
the railing of the bridge, breaking 1t
down and landing in the canal. The
car struck the water right side up, but
the current turned the machine onto
it's side. In the fall Mr.. Nelson was able
to stay in the machine and when the
car struck, was able to keep his head
above the water, at the same time
calling for help. He was heard by a
farmer nearby, who came to his
assistance, helping him out OF
the icy water In the afternoon the
Lind Automobile company sent out for
the car and brought it to town for re-
pairs.

HOBOS WITHOUT HOME
Sheriff's Office Destroys Cave In Bank
OF Rock Greek.

Since the cold weather set in, the
hobos in the vicinity of Twin Falls
have been making their home in a
cave in the Rock Creek canyon, oppo-
site the oil tanks. For some time
past residents of that part of town
have been missing property, and it is
thought that the gentlemen of leisure
were getting away with the property
missed. Complaint was made to the
sheriff, and upon investigation it was
found that the only way to destroy the
roost was by blowing it up with giant
powder The work commenced Mon
so the inhabitants of the city need
not think that war has commenced
with Mexico when they hear the heavy
reports,

CHANGE IN PERSONNEL OF BOARD
MAY HELP SITUATION
Hearing Set for December 31st In Re-
Spouse to Petition Of Idaho Light
and Power Company.

AS result of the change in the per-
sonnet of the Idaho public utilities
commission, there seems to be indicat-
ed change in the attitude of the COM
mission regarding competition and
monOpolies in electrical power. AS
was well known prior to the resigna-
ton of Commissioner Standrod, the
real work and decisions of the COM
mission was in the hands of the two,
Standrod and BlomQuist, while Ram
stad devoted his time to the tax Ques-
ton. With the assumption of Stand
rods duties duties by John w. Graham,
of this city, who is thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT with the situation, there seems to
be indication of a recession from the
former position of the commission re-
garding this field. At least that is the
idea of the power companies who are
DESTROYS of entering this field
The hearing will be held in Boise
December 81 and the arguments Of
both sides treated by the commission
The people OF this section, who have
at any time applied for either lights or
power and been refused, are urged to
make a complete statement OF their
case, have it sworn to before notary
public and send it in. In all parts OF
the county, among ranchers and the
smaller towns, there has been and still
Is much complaint against the turn
ing down Of their applications for
power and lights. All of these COM
plants while perhaps rather small
individually will tend to show that the
present company is not covering its
