the Recorder editor has been sc
busy with his newspaper work that
he hasn't had time to write. When
the Press Club met in Twin Falls
last week, the editor fully deter
mined to write it up" in approved
fashion. But he didn't; instead, he
talked business, and politics, and
weather, and did other things until
he didn't write a word of the de-
llghtful trip and entertainment. Sc
he has asked Mrs. Lisle, who ac-
companied him on the occasion, to
say something of the Twin Falls
country and people; which she has
done here. 1t was her first visit to
the Magic City; and from all indl-
cations, it was most enjoyable
one.
The Twin Falls tract, as the hab-
ltation of men, is only ten years old.
This is hard to believe, as one rush
es along by steam or electric car
past miles of tall, shapely shade
trees, sees the well-improved farms
and comfortable homes, the busy
towns with their great mills, ware
houses and other places of business,
and finally comes to a stop at the
Twin Falls depot.
And there-wonder of wonders
you find yourself on beautifully
paved and parked streets, filled
with horse-drawn and motor We
hicles, and crowds of busy men
eager and enthusiastic over their
town, their business, and their COM
munity future. 1t is a real city
only with the difference that it has
the air Of city where men love to
dwell-and not where they stay be-
cause they must!
You take one of the waiting au-
tos and are whirled away to one of
the several fine hotels. These
hotels are thoroughly modern. They
are furnished for your comfort.
Plenty Of easy chairs and settees,
upholstered in soft leather just as
you see them in your tired dreams,
are scattered in all the cozy corners.
The spacious parlors-and there
are many Of thern-are well fur
with reading and writing
desks. There are potted ferns all
around, and piano for those who
care for music. 1t is home on
large scale.
Then there is the cafe, where
you can get little or much to eat,
according to your appetite or the
size of your purse; but all served
up promptly and in tasty manner.
The Press Club banquet served in
the cafe which we frequented,
would do credit to any city. Each
course was put on in a quick,
smooth and competent way. Each
plate was decorated in dainty style |
with notched radishes, mashed po-
tatoes that looked like a beautiful
white rose; and along in their prop
er order, pretty green mint Jelly,
and slices of lemon, and many
things that were good to the eye.
and withal, it was substantial. No
one could feel as did the young man
at the banquet in an eastern city, |
who whispered to his neighhor.
We'll, | could stand this for quite
1 spell if | could get few minutes
off and there were lunch counter
landy." One can 60 to Twin Falls
o learn how to serve banquets that
please!
After dinner, you walk about the
,ity, with its we'll decorated show
with all the latest fads in
lress, in shoes, in jewelry, in gro
,eries, in hardware, and in electrical
appliances. The latter will take
your eye most of all, even though
is a commonplace to the hardened
esident; for Twin Falls is one Of
he most wonderful electrical cities
n the whole world. A larger pro-
portion of homes have electricity
or heating, for lighting, for laun-
Try and other light household du-
les, in Twin Falls than in any other
ity in the world; less coal and
vood is used for fuel, there is less
moke to poison the air, than any
ther city in the same latitude and
ltitude. Some of these things
nay have been forgotten by the
eople who enjoy them; they are
lost wonderful to those who come
n to see them for the first time.
Everywhere you find life and
ction. The crowds are busy, and
Apply. If you follow the gayest
mes, the youth and those with
Dung hearts whatever the calendar
1ay say of their age, they will lead
on to the movies. F." You payl
