AUTO UPSfTS
Brake Fails on King Hill Grade. Six
Spilled Out

well-known sheep man Of this city,

ren and Mrs. Arthur Stevens and Mrs.
Walter Fountain, started for King Hill

yond Glenns Ferry, as the car was de-
scending short steep grade, at the
bottom of which the road made a sharp
turn, one of the front wheels gave way
and the car turned over twice. Mrs.
Stevens and the five-year-old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Riley were pinned be-
meath the car and badly bruised, Mrs.
Stevens remaining in state of uncon-
sciousness for an hour after the acci-
dent. While Mr.. Riley lifted the car
Mrs. Riley and Mrs. Fountain dragged
the unfortunate one from under.
Mrs. Riley suffered severe bruises
about the head and face, while Mrs.
Fountain, Mr.. Riley and his little son
received only minor injuries. 1t was
feared for a time that the injuries of
the little girl were serious, but it
is now thought she will soon recover.
Mrs. Stevens will be confined to her
bed for few days.
The accident occurred near ranch
house, from which medical assistance
was summoned by phone from the
Ferry and friends here notified c. b.

MAKING A BID
FOR TOURISTS
Local Citizens Start Advertising
Campaign
WILL BOOST SHOSHONE FALLS ON
YELLOWSTONE HIGHWAY
Route Maps With Plainly Marked
Roads Part Of Plan to Attract the
Tourists.

With the purpose of diverting por-
ton of the returning automobilists
from the California fairs through this
section, number of citizens, members
of the Twin Falls County Automobile
association, are planning little ad-
vertising campaign. AS stated in The
Times short time ago, plainly marked
road signs are to be placed along the
route from Ely, Nevada, through Con-
tact, Rogerson, Hollister, Twin Falls
and via Shoshone falls to HALEY,
showing the Central Idaho highway.
Coupled with this plan Robert McCol-
lum and others interested are plan
ming another idea for diyerting tourist
travel
A well defined map of the Lincoln
Highway has been prepared by B. e.
Morse, showing that highway and also
showing where the Central Idaho route
branches off from that to take the
tourist to Shoshone falls and thence
on to Yellowstone. At the exposition
is being shown with actual falling
water miniature reproduction of the
Shoshone falls. 1t will create interest
| of the visitors who are going to make
a return trip by auto. Right here the
road logs prepared and the above mem
toned maps will be handy to show
the tourists where to leave the Lin
coin highway to reach these falls.
| Business men are asked to place the
map on the back of their letters going
east to add to the information regard
| ing the route.

REDUCTION IN
POWER RATES
Commission Makes Schedule
Cutting Price to Consumers
PLANS THE REDUCTION TO HELP
THE LITTLE FELLOW
Companies are Apt to Accept the New
Schedule Without Protest if Changes
are Made.

Numerous complaints from small
fpoWer users in the southern part of
the state, claiming that the power
companies have been charging ex-
cesslye rates, has resulted in the
public utilities commission drafting
set of uniform rates, which were
announced Wednesday. In order to
avoid unnecessary hearings on the
question the commission has sub
mitted the proposed rates to the
power companies in the southern
Idaho field with the request that any
objections be made without asking
for hearing.
After considering the proposed
rates the companies have signified
willingness to accept them if a
few changes are made The proposed
rates would reduce the cost Of power
from 10 per cent in some cases to near
ly 90 per cent in others.
| AT present the Idaho Power G Light
company and the Utah Power & Light
company ask demand of service
charge of one dollar per horse power
| of connected loads plus an energy
charge. The rates of the Great Sho-
shone company are about the same
Soe Aie.aS oA q uiilSl tuL DdolS-
| The proposed rates of the commits
sion would make demand of service
fcharge Of SO cents per horse power OF
eonnected loads plus an energy charge
as follows:
First 100 kilowatt hours OBS per XVIII
Next 400 kilowatt hours .02 per XVIII
Next 500 kilowatt hours .01 per XVIII
Next 700 kilowatt hours .009 per XVIII
| Excess over 5000 kilowatt hours,
| .-..-...... wv per kWE
A minimum charge of so cents per
horse power of connected load per
month would be charged, while NO
charge could be made of less than
one dollar per month to any consul
/ mer.
| These rates would mean a larger
reduction to consumers of the Great
Shoshone company who are users OF
a small amount of power while patrons
| of the Idaho and Utah companies who
use a large amount of power would
secure larger benefits by the reduced
rates. which in some cases would
amount to nearly 60 per cent-States-

FOR CLOSER COOPERATION
Teachers and School Patrons to Join
Forces.

An open meeting will be held in the
Auditorium of the high school Thurs
day evening, March 4. Every parent
residing in this school district is ex-
tended very kind invitation to come
to this meeting. All other people who
do not have children in schools but who
are interested in the work of the local
schools are, also, asked to come. The
evening will be given over to enter
tainment. There will be music by the
his scEco! orchestra and the hish
school hipd. There will be short talks
on problems relating to local edu-
cational needs. Refreshments will be
served by the domestic science depart
ment- This will be a time for fathers
ana mothers and teachers to get ac-
qualnted. NO one can estimate the
value of the personal meeting between
mother and teacher and father and tea
cher. Such a meeting counts for
much good to the parent and teacher.
NO one can estimate the good it brings
to the child. Such meetings have a
tendency to clear up all misunder-
standings and when a parent and tea
cner can meet in a social hour there
somehow comes to each of them a
little clearer vision with respect to
the purposes underlying the work of
education. Now, every parent is ask
ed not to plan for any other engage
ment for the evening of this open
meeting. If you have any small chill
dren who can't be left alone, bring
them with you to the meeting. Pro-
visions have been made for caring for
all small children while the fathers
and mothers are enjoying the enter
tainment of the evening. Plans are
being made to perfect at this meet
ing permanent Parent Teachers as
sociation. Such an association is of
great value to the community. I'm
doubtedly only two or three meetings
can be held during the remainder of
this school year, but if an organiza-
ton is perfected, the ground work
will be well laid for the next year
Committees are at work now arrang-
ing for permanent organization and
| also for program for the first meet

Senate Approves Measure Making
State Dry in 1915
ONLY SIX VOTES OPPOSED WHEN
BILL Is PASSED.
Governor M. Alexander Sure to APP
prove Bill. All Amendments to Bill
Fail

Prohibition legislation is thing of
the past in the state of Idaho. It be-
came SO when the senate passed Tues
day, under suspension of the rules,
H. B. No. 142, making the state dry
by statutory enactment January /,
1916. The result of the rollcall was
"a to g. There is no doubt that the
measure will receive the signature of
the governor.
Before an audience that filled every
available space in the senate cham
br, the measures were discussed pro
and con by half the members of the
upper house. Amendments were Of
fered but were rejected and the bill
passed the senate in the same form
in which it was sent from the house,
There were seven votes cast against
the bill in the house, six in the sen
ate, making a total of 13 in the leg
islature number "a members.
Laws now approved by the legis-
lature regulating the liquor traffic
are three in number. The first one
passed provided for the submission to
the voters of constitutional amend
ment to the state constitution prohib-
iting the sale or manufacture OF liquor
within the state. The second was a
stringent local option measure, in
tended to make more rigid the laws
governing the sale of liquor under the
local option law.
This third law prohibits the manu-
facture of liquor in the state as well
as the sale or gift. It goes into Ell
feet January /, 1916. Two amend
ments were offered but neither was
accepted. One provided that the state
should provide one officer for each
county to be paid fifteen hundred dol
lars a year, whose authority should
be concurrent with that of the sher-
iff but who should devote his entire
time to the enforcement OF the pro-
hibition statute. 1t appropriated tifty
thousand dollars a year for carrying
out the provisions of the act

ate until the expiration of the license
