new INTERESTS
IN POWER WAR
Great Shoshone Co. Wants Land
Taken From Beaver River Go.
CLAIMS BEAVER RIVER co. HAS
NO RIGHT TO LAND ON MALAD.
Question Will Be Heard Before Judge
Davis, in Boise, on Tuesday, jan
nary 90.

That new interests in Idaho are go
ing to take a hand in the power con-
troversy now going on in the state and
federal courts was indicated Saturday
afternoon when suit was filed in the
district court by Pasco B. Carter
against the state land board granting
certain land along the Malad river,
granted to- the Beaver River Power
company. S. H. Hays, general counsel
for the Kuhn interests, is the attor
.ney for Carter.
The complaint alleges that on Octo-
ber 10, 1911, the Beaver River Power
company made application to the state
land board to purchase a tract of land
for a dam site along the Malad river,
in the southern part of the state. On
the same day the land board ordered
right of way deed to be issued after
the appraisement by officers of the
board. On the same day /. H. Nash
and George A. Day, appraiser and land
commissioner respectively, reported
they had inspected the land and ap-
praised it at the value of $40 per acre,
and thereafter on the same day the
Beaver River Power company paid
,S107.40 to the state land board for the
land applied for
The complaint alleges that as a mat
ter of fact Messrs. Nash and Day new
er went near the land but made the
.appraisement without seeing it, and it
was well known by James H. Hawley,
W. L. Clifford, D. c.. McDougall and S.
d. Taylor, members of the state land
board, that the said land was of a
greater value and far in excess of
$3000 The land board had prior to
August, 1911, known that another
power company was engaged in erect
ing a power plant on the said Malad
river, and the said Beaver River Power
company's action, with the assistance
of the state land board, would work
to the disadvantage of the other COM
pany.
That the Beaver River company
erected dam at the point in question
and it had no right whatsoever to en-
ter the said land, and only did so to
prevent the other company from en-
tering upon the land. On December 81
1912, few days before the said land
board went out of office, they issued
an order that the Beaver River COM
pany had full power and control OF
the said land and issued an order di-
recting the attorney general for all
time in the future to protect the Bea-
yer River Power company in it's rights
The complaint prays for a writ OF
review and that the state land board
be required to transmit the proceed
ings regarding the above named trans
action and desist from further pro-
ceedings, and to show cause why the
proceedings should not be vacated
Judge Davis issued an order that the
writ of review be returnable January
20 at 10 a. m-Statesman.

ASSURANCE OF EAST HIGHWAY
State Commissioner Makes Positive
Statement on Highway.

In an interview between Theo. Tur-
ner and DR.. F. F. McAtee, held at the
Owyhee hotel in Boise, Monday, the
5th, Mr. Turner stated: I'VE consider
the east and west highway through
the state the matter of first import
ance All other matters will be of
secondary Importance. Not one cent
will be diverted from the east and
west highway for use on any other
road in the state. The east and west

The county commissioners were this
week presented with petition signed
by property owners of this vicinity,
asking for county aid for a bridge
across Shoshone falls and the fixing of
better grades leading into the canyon,
The matter was considered by the
commissioners Monday and the date
for a public hearing on the matter set
for next Monday afternoon. The COM
missioners and the citizens petitioning
for the bridge are anxious that all tax
payers in the county take notice of
the meeting and attend to voice their
preference and submit any argument
for or against the use of county funds
for this bridge.
A frank and honest discussion of the
Twin Falls side of the matter will be
presented by Attorney G. o. Longley
and others who are pushing the mat
ter and the other side should be will
ing to do the same.
A wrong idea is possessed by many of
the taxpayers that Twin Falls is try
ing to get more than it's share of the
road bond issue and of the road funds
This is not true in any way, shape or
manner. Instead of the city of Twin
Falls getting seventy-five per cent of
the assessed value for road purposes
the city should get twenty-five, but it
appears from information gained from
the city clerk that this twenty-five per
cent has not been turned over since
1911, when the city received about fif-
teen hundred dollars as its share. Ac-
countant Edmunds in his report show
ed where considerable sum was due
to this city from the county as it's part

MUST NOT LEAVE TOWN
Two Beauties Could Not Be Kept by
Former Owners.

Some time ago fairly we'll to do cit
izen of Twin Falls purchased very
fine piano. Since then he has met
with reverses and now finds it impos-
sible to retain and pay for the instru-
~ment, and he has asked us to take it
back. He has paid large portion of
the amount. Now | do not want to go
to the expense of shipping the piano
back to Portland, which would mean
transfer and heavy freight charges, in
surance etc., but | will sell this in
strument to some one in Twin Falls
for the balance that is due US. Remem-
ber large part has ben paid by the
former owner and the piano is just
like new This is surely the chance
of a life time to sec,are real fine
piano at such a price. The new buy
er can have it on easy term if desired.
| have also another piano, factory
sample that was sold for quite little
less than the other piano. 1t also had
to be given up by it's former owner
who has made number of payments
on it, Here is chance for some one
to secure another big bargain. Will
be sold at just what is still due us
from former buyer. This one, too,
can be bought on very easy payments.
To see these pianos, ask for E. F.
Peffer at Hotel Rogerson. | leave the
day after tomorrow

THE NEED ILLUSTRATED.

The fire in GAINESVILLE 9 few days
ago which DESTROYED the coy little
home of Mr.. Stuart Smith only
proves to the people Of Scotland
Neck how utterly hopeless we are
in case of fire. The probabilities are
that if an abundant supply Of water
could have been turned on the blaze
when first discovered the home
would have been saved. Think it
over; your house is apt to be the
next to catch fire. After your house
is leveled to the ground from fire
you will no doubt be in favor Of
waterWorks; so why not be on the
safe side by getting this convenient
necessity for our town?

BRIDGES NEED ATTENTION,

If the road commissioners for this
county would drive from Scotland
Neck to Tarboro and see the dis
graceful condition of the bridges
before reaching the Edgecombe
county line, The Commonwealth be-
lieves that these gentlemen who are
supposed to look after our county
highways, would build bridges over
which an automobile could feel safe
in travelling at the rate Of at least
t~.p9gniles ahslour. It is no: only g
disg3a3Eke coppp p to Y own " !. such
bridges az fhts a-b ii tt'iit is dangerous
to people travelling them.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, rs they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition OF the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube When this tube is
intlanled YOU have Il rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de.
strOyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an innamed condition Of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by HalPs
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

Little girl, you look SO small.
Don't you wear no clothes at all?
Don't you wear no shimmy-shirt?,
Don't you wear no petty-skirt?-
Just your corset and your hose,
Are those all of your underclothes?
Little girl, when on the street
You appear to be all feet,
With your dress so very tight
You surely are an awful sight.
Nothing on to keep you warm,
Crazy just to show your form.
Little girl, you won't live long,
Just because you dress all wrong.
Can't you wear more underclothes
Than your corset and your hose?
After awhile | do believe
You will dress like Mother Eve.

In the last issue Of this paper word
was given out that The Common
wealth would reply to an article
signed by Mr.. A. L. burlington in
defense of the recent enforcement
of the Sunday law. While this pa
per is still mistaken in its opinion of
the Sunday law it believes that per-
sonal controversies spread over its
columns would not only cheaper the
paper itself but would be an impo-
sition on the out-of-toWn subscrib-
ers. who are not interested in our
local differences. The Common
wealth IS still for the repeal Of these
hardship-working laws; for it be-
lieves that to impose an unreason-
able law upon a people means ulti-
mate contempt for the law. If the
town commissioners would handle
this subject with the same degree
of consideration that they have mas
tered other local problems, there
would be little censure dealt them.
1t is to be earnestly hoped that these
local lawmakers will at an early
sitting amend the law they have
thoughtlessly had enforced, so as tc
work no hardships.
Now, as for Mr.. Purrington's ar.
ticle: The editor Of The Common
wealth can sensation more glee il
rabblt-hunting probably than Mr.
Purrington-and in fact had the am
munition all set up for the come
back-but he saw the folly it would
effect in furnishing fun for a small
portion Of the readers Of this pape.
at the expense Of the majority VIII.
have subscribed to The Common
wealth.. | will say, however, that i
some are of the opinion that tn
editor is of timid disposition, i
they will stage a joint discussion o
this issue between L. Mills Kitchi
and Mr.. burlington, the former wi
be at their pleasure to present hi
side of the case before the assemble
voters of Scotland Neck.
/. wish to state that have no il
feeling toward any of the Commi:
sidners-in fact, l count them m
friends. | believe they voted thei
honest convictions for the enforce
ment of the Blue Law. Is it ne
reasonable enough to concede that
newspaper can write as honest COZ
victi ons as Commissioners can vol
them?

MORE CURRENCY In NEW YORK
Washington Sends Sub-Treasury
Between $40,O00,000 and

MORE CURRENCY In NEW YORK
BY associated Press

New York, Aug. 3.-The Clearing
House at "A meeting to-day decided to
issue clearing house certificates to
meet the currency situation brought
about by the European war crisis.
The decision to issue certificates was
reached after a general discussion of
the foreign situation and its bearing
on business conditions here. 1t was
the unanimous opinion that in view
of the foreign situation every means
had been adopted to protect the coun-
try's gold supply.
An additional resolution was adopt
ed making available in payment of
balances all forms of currency issued
on authority of the national govern
ment. This indicates the desire by
the bankers to use freely the currency
issued to the National Currency Asso-
citation to the fullest extent for the
requirements of their correspondents
Ind the needs of interior exchange.
Secretary McAdoo, of the Treasury
Department, who came from Wash
ington last night to attend a confer
ence with New York bankers. started
back for the capital at $50 o'clock
day.
Secretary McAdoo, Just before he
left the city, said
I'VE are going to work together to
relieve the positions of Americans
abroad, and anything that the gov
eminent can do in their behalf will be
done"
IF American bankers ship gold to
England" Mr.. McAdoo was asked,
will it violate our neutrality"
Il cannot pass on that" he said.

great European conflict, the Franco
