TYPHOID EPIDEMIC
AROUND Twin FALLS

That a somewhat serious typhoid
epidemic has visited the vicinity of
Twin Falls is evident from reports
that have been received here In
quiry at the state board of health, the
state sanitary department and the
state bacteriologist discloses that the
facts in relation to the spread of the
disease have not as yet been received
by either of these three departments.
The report from Twin Falls is as
follows:
AS the result of drinking water from
newly filled cistern, 10 people of q
party of 80 were stricken with typhoid
fever, one of whom died in the Twin
Falls hospital.
The so were members of the German
Lutheran Young Peoples league. They
were gathered at the II. f. Beecher
home just south of the city, about
six weeks ago for a social event, at
which time all of the party drank free
ly from the cistern. A few weeks later
10 of the party were stricken, includ
ing H. r Beecher and the wife and
daughter of the German Lutheran pas
tor. Ernest Erickson, one of the party,
succumbed to the attack and Miss
Bertha Polzin lies at the point of
death The others are seriously ILL.,
but physicians state they will prob
ably recover.
A large amount of surface water is
thought to have seeped into the els
tern. 1t was condemned by health Of
ficers and is being thoroughly cleaned
and sterilized.

BLACK CANYON
PROJECT TO GET
GOVERNMENT AID
AS Soon as an Additional
Loan Is Authorized Big
Work in Idaho Will Be
Undertaken.
Capital News Special service.)

Capital News Special Service
Washington, Aug. 25-Another big
irrigation project in Idaho the Black
Canyon, will undoubtedly be under
taken by the government as soon as
congress authorizes an additional loan
to the reclamation fund. After long
series of conferences with the secre-
tary of the interior, Senator Brady has
received assurance to this effect, and
1t now remains only to secure author
ization from congress of a $50, 900, 900
loan, such as proposed in the bill of
Senator Borah, and recommended by
the department of the interior. The
Black Canyon has been regarded by the
department of the interior as a new
and separate project, and on a par
with other new projects clamoring for
government recognition. This attitude
of the department was prejudicial to
the project, for it is reasonably certain
that no new project can be undertaken
for some years to come. Senator
Brady, however. has finally induced
Secretary Lane to list the Black Can
yon project as preferential, in that the
government has made its surveys and
estimates. and is ready to proceed with
the construction as soon as funds are
available Moreover, the senator inn
pressed upon the secretary the fact
that many settlers had gone on the
Black Canyon project under assurance
that the work would be undertaken by
the government within a reasonable
time, and the equity of the claim made
by the settlers is now recognized by
the department
Secretary Lane in his letter to Sen
ator Brady, said:
My feeling regarding the Black
Canyon project is this: That it is inn
possible to do anything now, but if a
new loan is made for the construction
of reclamation projects it will be my
effort to have this matter considered
as a project on which we have already
made plans and with which we are
familiar, in advance of altogether new
propositions"
Commenting on the letter of Secre-
tary Lane. Senator Brady says:
II feel that the Black Canyon project
will be taken up and completed before
any new projects are taken up and
completed. We should now direct our
Fefforts TO securing the government loan
Tor these reclamation projects
THE best method is to have Senator
Borah take entire charge of the bill
providing for the government reclama-
ton loan He initiated the idea, and
is the proper person to take the lead
in the enactment of the law. He has
had years of experience in the senate,
and stands high with other senator's,
and is growing stronger every day.
Twill assist him in every way I can In
Ihaving this reclamation loan bill
Ipassed, and will use my efforts in con-
lverting other senators to orr way of
thinking, and in many ways assist in
1.-THE passase of the bill When this is
done do Lot think there is a question
of doubt but what the Black Canyon
project will be provided with ample
Hnd sufficient funds to complete it,

The French and British
troops opposing the invasion of
the German army in Belgium
have suffered a serious reverse,
according to the official an
nouncement issued by the
French war office.
In the battle Line which ex-
tends from Mons to the Lux
emburg frontier. several army
corps composed Of both British
and French, took the offensive
on Sunday against the Ger
mans, but their plan of attack
failed, owing to unforeseen diff
ficulties," as described by the
official statement, and the
troops retired on the covering
} positions.
The losses on both sides are
reported as extremely heavy,
and the French officials de-
scribe the Germans as being
obliged to establish themselves
in fresh positions in Lorraine.
The French have abandoned
those positions in Alsace and
Lorraine which they formerly
held, and now look for heavy
fighting in French territory.
Detachments of German cav
airy, operating on the extreme
right. have reached Roubaix, a
" few miles north Of Lille. This
territory is defended only by re-
servists.
At Using Tau. the capital of
Kiao Chow, the German protec-
torate In China, the German
forces have prepared for a
bombardment by the Japanese
fleet, by dynamiting all the
tall structures there which
might be OF assistance to the
attacking forces as sighting
points. They have also taken
measures to oppose the advance
of a Japanese field army.
There Is q report emanating
from Rome and Avalona that
the Albanian insurgents have
entered Avalona and raised
their flag.
Emperor Nicholas of Russia
Is reported to have gone to the
headquarters of the Russian
army, which has taken the Of
fensive in full strength and is
said to be advancing rapidly In

A late dispatch from Copen-
hagen gives further reports
from Austria that Emperor
Francis Joseph is in a grave
condition.

Russian warships are said to
be also engaged in the bonn
bardment.
Movements In the far east
proceed under a strict censor

} permitted to go through news
that the bombardment OF Using
Tau had been begun. II Is be-
} lieved the cable between Ma
gasal5i and Shanghai has been
cut, thus severing direct COM
munication between China and
, Japan.
According to reports at Paris
the Russians now occupy ter
ritory 80 miles wide on the
} German frontier.
The attitude Italy will as
sumo is still In doubt 1t is re-
ported that Italian troops are
concentrating on the Austrian
frontier. which indicates that
Italy will Join the allies. A Ger

army has been raised to 100000.
Austria indicates a purpose of
abandoning its move against
the Servians in order to oppose

same all-star cast which produced
"Strongheart' and judith of Be
thulia," will be shown, at the New Boz
for the last tin tonight. Henry Wal

lures, add to these pictures a stability
of style which makes them appreci-
ated by all. The story OF Glass
mates" is too well known to need
comment upon. 1t gives opportunity
beside the acting, for scenic sets which
give credit to the directors. The South
American vegetation, the scenes of the
cadet encampment and the outdoor
ball-all serve to hold the interest
which is aroused by the acting. A
word must also be said for the pho
Biography. Bad camera work cannot be
overcome even though the picture is
otherwise perfect, but with the pho
Biography as clear as a bell. as in

the more a leader among photoplays.
