of the time, the place and the
character of such film.
This cooperation on the part
of your people will be greatly ap-
preciated.''

Club Cyclists Who Break
Traffic Rules Will Be
Requested to Resign

Members of the Keystone Motor
cycle Club who violate city traffic
regulations more than one time and
are reported to the board of directors
of that organization will be asked to
resign, it was announced to-day.
Cooperation with the city authori-
ties is urged by the officers of the club
and every member has been notified of
the penalty for violating traffic rules.
1t was said at the meeting of the board
recently that little trouble has been
experienced in the city with motor
cyclists. but in order to prevent any
possible violations the question of
membership was fixed as a penalty.
Willingness was shown on the part of
the members, it is said. to comply
entirely with city regulations.

Accused of Letting Friends Who Violated Traffic Ordinance

hustled through the Market street
subway without regard for the many
teams passing up and down the ap-
proaohes.
In brief these are three distinct vio-
lations of the traffic laws. A police
man arrested the offender but he was
released because he was q friend of
the mayor" That officer too, by the
way, got a quiet tip to "go a little
easy hereafter with the particular citi-
zen as 'he was friend of the mayor. 3"
On another occasion a similar in
stance occurred in Market street
where an officer stopped an offender
who was hailed before the mayor-and
the word of censure was passed to the
policeman because of his harsh
methods. He, too, was given to un-
couldn't be tolerated with the friends
of the mayor" 1t was even suggested
that the policeman apologize.
True, all offenders weren't treated
thus:

for violation of the traffic regulations
He hadn't the money to pay his fine;

The real story of Mayor Royals in
sistency however is the story of John
A. Fackler, evidently friend" of no
little standing with the mayor. Fack-
Ter repeatedly violated the traffic reg
ulations at the Verbeke street market
house and Patrolman A. L. Heagy
after warning him, hailed the offender
before the city's chief executive
Fackler was released. And a day
or so later Patrolman Heagy got this
little note from Col. Hutchison, chief
of police:
Officer Heagy:
The Mayor requests that

Instructions to enforce the city traf-
fic regulations were issued to all the
patrolmen yesterday by Mayor John
X. Royal.
The orders were passed according
to the mayor at the urgent request
of the Motor Club of Harrisburg
For months this club has been en-
deavoring to have the traffic conditions
bettered and regulated in the city
streets and repeated requests, and even
demands had been made by members
of the club to have the chief executive
insist upon the enforcement of the
laws.
The Fortunate Ones
In some instances, say motorists,
there have been prosecutions but these
offenders as rule are jitney driv-
ers or chauffeurs who have no politi-
cal or personal standing with Mayor
Royal or his friends; the fortunate
ones who enjoy these privileges are not
prosecuted but officers have been tip
ped off not to push them too hard
because they're friends of the mayor"
Councils attention was officially
called to the laXity of the mayors
attitude in this respect several weeks
ago when the Motor Club sent a COM
munication to the body declaring that
the rules were not being enforced and
suggesting that the presence of the
ordinance on the statute books was
useless unless some effort was made
to enforce the law without regard to
personal feeling or favor.

Mayor Much Hurt

Mayor Royal was much hurt at the
Motor Clubs letter. He mourned the
action in quite a speech at the Council
session.
Members OF the Club, however, are
weary of spending time and money in
an effort to regulate traffic condi-
tions and in prosecuting violators
when their efforts amount to nothing
through the lack of cooperation by
the police department. Many an incl
dent has been mentioned of the fail
ure of Mayor Royal to enforce these
important rules governing the oper-
alton of vehicular and motor traffic,
Here are a few of them:

Nearly all of the second crop OF

ton of the grain. The threshers are
in action in all parts of the country.
Mr.. ]. A. Armstrong, the clothier

up with the rest.
Let everyone in our vicinity work
to the point of keeping the stone
picked up of the roads adjoining
their ranches also make waste ditch
es sufficient to carry away all waste
water that might overflow the roads.
This doesn't take great deal of time
besides it shows the tourists and

we'll as the rest. Think this over.

Not long since the citizens of the
district, a strip of territory
in Gooding county, adjoining Lin
coin county on the west and extend
ing from the river north, formed a
highway district, the vote on the
same being almost unanimous. Real
izing that the formation of a highway
district is only the first step toward
the construction of good roads. and
for the purpose of creating fund
to be used for the permanent con-
struction of roads and bridges. it was
suggested that the district be bond
ed for sufficient sum to successfully
carry on this work. To this end a
petition was recently circulated
among the property owners and vot-
ers of that district, calling for an
election to be held to vote on the
question of issuing bonds to the
amount of $4,000 to be used for
this purpose. Be 1t said to the credit
of the progressive people of that
section. the signatures of over 20
per cent of the voters of the district
have been secured, and the same will
be presented to the commissioners of
Gooding county, with the request
that such an election be called.
The people of that section are GER
tainly to be congratulated upon the
progressive spirit shown in signing
this petition, and from all indications
the question will carry by a large
majority. There are many argu
ments in favor of bond issue tC
carry on a work of this nature, bu
the fact that good roads can be oh
tanned in this manner without entail
ing any hardships upon the resident
, of the district, should be argumen
enough in favor of the issue. w
, have frequently urged that such
move be made in the Jerome district
: but no active interest has seemingl
, been manifested, and it remains 70

An Alfalfa Meal Mill.

Our dreams of an alfalfa meal mill
to be located at Jerome are about to
come true, If present indications are
to be judged from. Recently parties
representing the Alfalfa Meal Mill
Co. of Kimberly, were here and at
once commenced negotiations with
the Short Line for trackage room,
which as we understand are progres
sing very satisfactorily. In fact the
matter has gone so far that the ma.
chinery for the mill is already on the
ground, and we are assured that
work on the building will commence
very soon.
The company which are now ope-
rating the mill at Kimberly find their
capacity Insufficient to meet the de-
mands and consequently they are
reaching out. After being ground
the meal is mixed with syrup obtain
ed from the sugar mill, and in this
manner 1t is shipped to the far east
ern markets. We will have more II
say of this mill as the work proceeds
on the same. The erection of this
mill at Jerome will give another out
let for the surplus hay that is raised
on the tract and will serve as a stim
ulant TO the market price of this pro
duct.

Granted More Time.

An extension of time was granted
by the state land board Monday to
the Twin Falls North Side Land &

being done at Jackson Lake. Wyo.,
to provide additional storage for the |

Ject
When the company and the land
board entered into the agreement un-
der which the work is being lone II
was specified that the Jackson Lake
reservoir should be completed by
August . OF this year. Judge Wal
ters appeared before the board for
the company and under the showing
he made an extension was granted
until October Is. 1916.
Judge Walters brought before the
board evidence to show that the work
has been prosecuted with due dill
gence He said six hundred thou
sand dollars had already been expen-
ded and that 1t will require two hun
dred thousand dollars more to finish
the Job. The work. though done by
the reclamation service. is being paid
for by the North Side Land & Water
Co. He said all the work done to
date had been paid for and there was
money available for the balance. hut
llnore time was needed. The board
was unanimous in granting the ex-
tension Statesman.
IL is also understood that the COM
pany will be granted further time TO
complete the work mapped out for
the completion of the system on the
tract. There is yet considerable work
to be done on the main canal which
cannot be done until the water is
turned out, and for this purpose the
water is likely to be shut off at as
early date as possible this fall, that
work may be commenced. Work
over the system will also be carried
on as long as the weather will permit
this fall, as II is the desire of the
company to get the system in the bes
, possible shape this fall that no inter
ruption may occur In the flow of wa
q ter another season, as the chance fo'
@ any shortage next year is very mea
ger from the fact that we will have
, sufficient storage at Jackson LAX
. to meet all the requirements. Wit
the financial difficulties occurring II
the past with the company, the worl
4 has not been prosecuted as rapid
o as the settlers would wish for, but
A is the intention of the new manage
ment to put the system In a first elias
condition before turning 1t over {
