filler AFTER COUNTY FAIR
Citizens OF Neieffboring Town are En-
5husiastic Over Fair Grounds.

The business men of Filler have
concluded that it is time that Twin
Falls county had an annual fair. They
believe that the best agricultural
county in the state should have an
annual exhibit Of livestock, and all
else that goes to make this country
famous, and naturally they are of the
opinion that said fair should be held
nearest to the points in the county
to where the best that is to be shown
can be found Filler can lay claim to
combining all these essentials.
1t is with these favorable condi-
tions confronting Filler that the idea
is strong and unanimous that the eff
fort be put forth at this time to Sc
cure a County Fair to be located here.
Filler has the best location for a
fair of any town on the tract, close
to town and ideal in every particular,
An option has been taken on the 40
acre tract lying at the head of Main
street. and owned by Schildman and
Coffin for $3.50 per acre. The land
is worth the money for any purpose.
The people of Filler are willing to
secure this tract if the county COM
missioners are willing to do what the
state law permits them to do. Look
ing 10 this end large and enthusi-
astic meeting was held Monday night
and a committee consisting of Grover
Davis, Arthur Anderson, Geo. F. Al
len, j. w. Tanner and II. G. Munyon
was appointed to take hold of the
project. 1t was decided to organize
a stock company, the capital stock of
the holding corporation to be fixed
at 1000 to be composed of 400
shares at "a par value of $25 per
share
Solicitors are now at work securing
signers for the stock A good half
mile track will be made on the ground
and suitable buildings provided for a
fair that will be credit to Twin
Falls county.-Filer Journal.

BOOTl[GGfRS SENTENCED
Four Men Plead Guilty Before Judge
Babcock Saturday.

On Saturday morning four bootleg
gers were brought before Judge w. A.
Babcock, of the district court. The Of
ficers had such a straight case against
them that they concluded to plead
guilty and commence serving their
sentence at once The first man to
appear was Hubert Snow, his sentence
was four months in the county Jail
and a fine of three hundred dollars
and costs. Arley Strandlee was the
next man to face the judge, and was
given three months in Jail and fine
of one hundred dollars. John Smith
came next and received three months
and one hundred dollars and COSTS
Jack Williams was the last man up
and it seems that in this case it paid
to be the last man, as he got off with
thirty days in the county jail and fifty
dollars and costs.

A GOOD ROADS EXAMPLE
What Dragging Will do for Roads
Even i'm Dry Weather.

II. w. Hochbaum informs the Press
that the roads generally in Twin Falls
country are bad and full of ruts.
There is one notable exception, a
stretch of half mile past one farm
er's place, who has consistently
dragged this stretch of road Auto
mobiles run with perfect safety on it
at 35 miles an hour, while fifteen is
high speed on the average roads there
While this is the most striking ex.
ample he has found in the state of the
effects of persistent and thorough
dragging, the same general results
are found in other places where the
drag is used In Lewis county, he
says there are miles and miles of
roads that have never been graded at
all upon which drags are used, that
are splendid roads. The farmers
there, organized into small road dis
tricts, simply hitch onto drag and
drag roads that have been used for
years and have never seen grader,
and in a little while they make good
road of it. Where grading can not be
done because of the expense he recon-
mends the use of the drag anyway.
and feels confident that the same good
results will follow its use here a. In

WOLVES IN JACKSON HOLE
Rowing Bands Slaughter Elk. Trapper
Hired to Kill Them.

The state game commissioner is ar
ranging for the employment of two
or three experienced trappers to aid in
the determination of wolves in the
Jackson's Hole country, says the Chey-

preying upon wild game in that part
OF the state to an alarming extent was
learned at the capitol in the receipt
by Governor kendriek of letter from
Harvey Birmingham, trapper of Du-
boise, who declared that three men in
Jackson's Hole country had counted
125 elk that had been killed by wolves.
In the letter Birmingham declared that
he himself had counted the carcasses
of 67 elk that had been destroyed by
wolves.

NO MORE WATER
Salmon Settlers Compelled to Ask
Railroad to Haul Water to Tract.

According to trustworthy informa-
ton there Will be no more water on
the Salmon tract for domestic purpos-
es this season. 1t is stated that wa
ter is so low in the reservoir that the
water will not run through the tunnel
A member of the Salmon River Set
tiers association was in the city Sat-
urday getting line on the best way
to communicate with the railway Of
lcials in Salt Lake as to the advisa-
bility of having the company haul
water from Twin Falls to the tract for
the use of the settlers during the
coming winter. This man was advis-
ed to take the matter up with the
ublic utilities commission, who in
turn will advise with the Short Line
officials.
1t is understood that the water sup
ply at Hollister is very limited, and
will not permit of the farmers getting
a supply at that point 1t is thought
that the railway will make very
cheap rate for the transportation of
water to the tract

PAY TRIBUTE TO f. Il. BULL
Eastern Flnancier, Who Has Interest
in Idaho, is H0nered.

Robert Millikin, of this city, is in
receipt OF daily papers from his old
home city of Sharon, Pennsylvania,
which give an account of the high
honors paid Mr.. f. Fl. Bull by his
home city on September IA, Which has
been locally named Frank A. Buhl
Day.
The event possesses interest for the
people of Idaho for the reason that
he has invested large sums in the
state and the town of Buhl was named
for him. Mr.. Buhi is retired capi-
talist and from the newspaper ac-
counts he is now deyoting his time and
his money to the public benefit.
Many good works for his home city
stand to his credit, but the greatest
consists of his opening to the public
of park of something like 500 acres
with club house, driveways, artificial
lake and in short all that is necessary
TO make an ideal playground for the
people.
Mr.. Millikin takes particular in
terest III this park as part of it is
farm purchased by his grandfather
in an early day and which was kept
in the Millikin family until a few
years ago
When it was decided to pay Mr..
Buhl the respects of the city for his
public spirited generosity, it would
seem from the newspaper accounts
that about the whole 10000 population
turned out for the day Business
places were closed and there was "a
parade in which there were many
beautiful floats and vast number of
people.
Mr.. Bull had recently been quite
severely injured in an automobile ac-
cldent and could take no part in the
festivities, but the attending physician
permitted him to sit at the window
while the parade passed, which was a
very great pleasure to him, proving
as 1t did that his home people were
not unmindful of him-Nampa Lead

COURT DECIDES
AGAINST CITY
Canal Company Not Obliged to
Cover Eighth Avenue Ditch
DECISION OF FORMER JUDGE L,
A. WALTERS REVERSED
supreme Court Holds Ordinance Com
peiling Company to Cover Ditch
Invalid.

Under conditions prevailing in the
city OF Twin Falls the municipality
cannot condemn as a nuisance and
compel to be covered the ditch owned
by the Twin Falls Canal company,
which runs through part of the city
The supreme court so held Saturday
when il decided the case of the city
OF Twin Falls against George E. Har-
Ian against the city
The court reversed the decision of
Judge Walters, Fourth district, Twin
Falls county. He had found George
+. Harlan, manager of the Twin Falls
Canal company, guilty of maintaining
nuisance because the ditch was not
covered in accordance with an ordi-
nance passed by the city The rever-
sal by the supreme court set aside the
conviction and absolved the company
from the necessity of covering the por-
tion Of its canal which runs through a
part of the city of Twin Falls.
Mr.. Harlan was arrested merely in
order to test the validity of the city's
ordinance. Judge Walters fined him
only 81.
The canal involved was what is
known as the Eighth street ditch 1t
runs through a part of the original
! townsite of Twin Falls and a part of
| Murtaugh addition. 1t is a part of
the Twin Falls irrigation system
There was no substantial conflict in
the facts presented Practically the
only question involved WAS whether
the city had the right to pass the ordi-
nance requiring the covering of such
/ a canal.
! The ditch runs through section 1e
of the township, which was originally
| school land, and the street along it
/ was not made a highway until after
| the ditch was constructed. For some
1 time after the canal was constructed
| the land in its course was unre-
| claimed sagebrush.
| No fault was found with the opera
ton of the canal and no negligenuce
charged against the canal company.
except that the complaint charged the
company with failure to "confina in
a closed conduit or to cover all over
or any part" of the ditch, thus per-
T'tting same to become a nuisance
| The supreme court held that the
mere fact that the ditch was uncover
| ed did not make it Il menace, and
| if it was dangerous il was the city S
duty to provide the covering.

BRINGS IN 1O2 COYOTE SKINS
ShOshone Trapper Making mroads on
Number Of Pests.

Sam Malcote, one of the best trap
pers in the state, came in Thursday
with the pelts of 102 coyotes that he
has caught since the 5th of the month
The bounty amounts to $3.50 and be-
sides he has number of furs that
will bring him in at least a dollar
apiece. pretty good months work
Bill keefer reports that in the last
week he has defooted 169 coyotes and
one bear. If the scalps are coming
in at that rate all over the state, it is
costing considerable money, one thing
sure the bounty as it now stands, can
be relied on to clean the state of coy
otes and the saving in stock and poul-
try will be ten times what the bounty
is.-Shoshone Democrat

GOOD YIELD ON SALMON
l.. 4. Edmundson Gets 35 Bushels OF
Wheat to Acre.

Twenty acres of l.. f. Edmundson' s
wheat field turned out close to thirty
five bushels to the acre. The entire
forty did very well, but the twenty
that proved so good was plowed very
deep two years ago, and this Mr.. Ed
mundson believes is the reason for the
excellent yield This is the fourth
crop that he took from this particu-
laf piece, and it has been the best of
the four. The alsike on thirteen acres
of the same farm ran about three and
one-haf bushels to the acre; the red
clover yielded only about one bushel
to the acre of seed, and fifteen acres
of oats were complete failure, be-
cause of failure to obtain sufficient
water.-Hollister Herald

chickens are tempted to scratch ir
the nest boxes, thus rolling out the

room in the hen house, and have a

that bushel or less of egg shells

WINTER EXERCISE FOR HENS

Successful Farming. The owner of a.

he ground underneath was bare. And
everywhere around the ground was

Hens like to get outside the chicken
nouse for little while when tho
weather will permit, but they don't
like to wade in snow. Hens roosting
IN trees when a snowstorm comes will
stay In the trees until they get hungry
rather than fly down in the snow to
