DEATH OF MRS. J. M. SHIVtLY
Well Known Kimberly Woman Passes
to Great Beyond.

Mrs. Sarah I. Shively, wife of j. NJ.
Shively, of Kimberly, died at Portland
Oregon, January 3rd, 1914, after q pro-
longed sickness caused from cancer
Mrs. Shively had not been we'll since
last summer and this fall went to Spo-
kane, Wash, to consult physicians as
to an operation. The physicians dis
couraged this, knowing she would new
er recover from the shock, but told
her it was simply a matter of time. A
specialist of that disease was next
consulted in Portland, Oregon, but
with the same result
When Mrs. Shively knew that her
days were numbered, her prayer was
that she might not have to suffer dur
ing her last days. Her prayer was
surely answered. The morning of her
death she was up and around and
seemed unusually happy, eXclaiming at
one time, Girls | haven't a pain" A
few hours later, while being assisted
to dress for her regular visit to the
doctor, she said, Girls, hurry up"
and before she could reach the couch
she had answered her Masters call.
Not even a death struggle. She sim
ply slept.
Mrs. ShlVely was an unusual WO-
man, so all her friends and neighbors
thought and though her faith was not
the same as ours, her life was such as
had its influence on all with whom she
came in contact, and we will miss her.
Mr.. and Mrs. Shively came to Idaho
six years ago and settled on their farm
one mile north and two east of Kim
berly Mrs. Shively leaves, besides her
husband, a son, Ora d. Taylor, and his
wife, two sister, Mrs. Aimee D. Holmes
of Lurier, Wash, and Mrs. Bell Wig
gins of Canyon, Texas; brother
Harry Cole of Pattonsburg, Mo-, and
an aged father, Mr.. Orin Cole, who
until last summer, made his home
with his daughter, Mrs. Shively.
Mrs. Shively was buried in Orting
Washington, where she lived in hel
earlier days.

PETITION FOR
FARE REDUCTION
Citizens Want Three-Cent Pass
enger Rate
PRESENT FOUR CENT FARE MUCH
TOO HIGH.
Public Utilities Commission Is Asked
To Investigate and Reduce Fares on
Branch.

A petition with a large number of
signers has been circulated about this
city for the past two weeks asking the
public utilities commission to compel
the Oregon Short Line to lower it's
branch passenger fares to that given
the main line. This petition will be
placed before the commission this
week asking that the present rate of
four cents be cut down to three cents.
In putting this matter before the
commission the citizens of this COM
munity are asking the cooperation of
the other towns along the branch to
urge the matter with the commission.
There is no question but what the
branch traffic is heavy enough to war
rant such reduction and the people be-
lieve that it is their just due.

One Hundred Men Will Be Put
10 Work
MATERIALS BEING RUSHED TO
TWIN FALLS.
Poles For Local Transmission Lines
Received This Week-Linesmen Will
Rush MaIad Connection.

A. l.. Woodhouse, manager of the
Utah department of the Beaver River
Power company, was in the city for
several days of last week consulting
with D. G.. Brown, manager of the
Idaho Power and Light company, To-
Gated in this city and assisting in get
ting things in shape to rush the work
on the power line from this place to
the plant on the Malad river. Mr.
Woodhouse informed the Times that
he had been in Boise for the past two
weeks on business in connection with
,the law suit which had been brought
his company to keep the COM
pany out of this city and other points
in Southern Idaho. He said that mat
tiers in regard to the suit had reach
ed a point where the company felt
Justified in going ahead with the work
here.
He said the company was working
with might and main to get the work
done and the line completed to the
plant on the Malad and to that end
they expected to have one hundred
men engaged by the last of this week.
The company is rushing material here
as fast as they can get it, and have
a man located at Spokane rushing
the poles from that place and another
at Portland shipping hardware and
transformers to Twin Falls.
A car of copper wire left the factory
at Dollar Bay, Michigan, Saturday and
another car of the same material left
the same place yesterday headed for
Twin Falls. Mr. Woodhouse said they
had car of insulators billed for Mil
ford, Utah, to be used there in power
construction, but that the car would
be diverted to this place. The balance
of the supplies are being shipped from
the General Electric Supply company
at Portland, Oregon, as they can get
the material there much quicker than
having it come from the east. Pins
are being rushed in here from Poca-
tello and other points In Idaho where
the company has a supply on hand.
Mr.. Woodhouse said that the COM
pany was highly gratified with the
action Of the city council in approving
their map of the Twin Falls distrl-
buting system, which covers the loca-
tion for several hundred poles. Whlle
here Mr.. Woodhouse and Mr.. Brown
closed the contract for the ground for
the sub-station which is to be located
in this city and he said that work on
the station would commence very
soon Mr.. Brown will have full crew
of experienced foremen and linemen
on the ground, these men will be
brought here from other points where
the company is constructing higt
power lines, but as at those points
the work is not so important as Is
the construction of the line from this
city to the Malad station. 1t is the
intention of the company to have tht
work as near done in this city b,
March first as is possible to be. Las
week Mr.. Brown had men and teams
b at work distributing poles along IN
: line and the work is continuing witt
renewed vigor this week Mr.. Wood
house left Saturday evening vel
pleased with the outlook here. Befor
leaving he said all of the lahorer
would be local men outside of th
foreman and few others.

CHRISTMAS SHIP SAILS
WITH TONS OF GIFTS
Gifts Are Meant For All of the Euro
pean Countries Involved
in War

New York, Nov. 14.-With more
than 1900 tons of Christmas gifts
from the people of America, a Santa
Claus ship, the naval collier Jason,
sailed today for Europe. A message
of Godspeed from President Wilson
was received by Lieut.. Commander
c. f. Courtney, u. S. N, shortly be-
fore sailing time. The docks as the
ship cast loose her lines were throng-
ed with thousands of school children.
The gifts that the Santa Claus ship
carried were gathered from every
State in the Union. They include al
most everything from toys and dolls
to clothing and food. So heavy was
the rain of Christmas presents for the
children of Europe that a force of
ninety soldiers and sixty sailors from
the navy yard was required to receive
and classify the gifts as they arrived
and repack them so that an equal dis
trbution might be made in the sever
al countries for which they were in
tended.
Summary of Cargo.
summary of the cargo made by
Commander Courtney shortly before
sailing showed the following items:
Fourteen carloads of children's
SIoIlilhS, i've CdIlOduS Oh WOmonS
clothing, one carload of mems cloth
ing, five carloads of toys and fifty
seven carloads of miscellaneous pres
ents, foodstuffs, boots. shoes, ETC.,
total of eighty-two carloads.
The ship will call first at Falmouth,
where the gifts intended for England,
France and Belgium will be discharg
ed; then she will proceed to Rotter-
dam, where gifts for Holland and
Germany will be discharged. At
later date another consignment will
go forward for the people of Russia
and Poland.
Nearly all the gifts received were
accompanied by notes of good will
written by the donors. AS the spirit
of neutrality of the United States was
unwittingly violated in many of these
mlssives it was found necessary to
withhold them. A large quantity of.
clothing that was found unfit for i'm
mediate shipment, will be sent to Ell
lis Island for cleaning and fumigating
and will afterwards be taken in
charge by wives of army officers who
have volunteered for the service and
prepared for later shipment.

New York, Nov. ia private hos
pital, where the twilight sleep" will
be administered to the patients of a
number of physicians who have stud
led the Freiburg discovery at the
Jewish Maternity, Bellevue and Long
Island college hospitals, is to be or
ganiZed in the Bronx this winter.
This will be the first hospital de-
voted entirely to this treatment in
America. DR.. +. J. Gruskin, No. 1O7

of the physicians interested and that
associated with him would be physi-

ministration of the treatment at the
above named hospitals.
According to DR.. Gruskin, only the
patients of doctors interested in the
place will be received.
1t was reported the Bronx Eve and
Ear Hospital, in One Hundred and
Forty-first street, near Willis avenue

great circular room. and their prog
ress will be watched by their individ-
ual doctors and nurses through win
dows above their beds.
Every precaution to prevent noises
reaching the big sleep chamber will
be taken. The skylights will be blue,
so that the softest possible light will
fall upon the patients.
