in EARNEST
ON RAILROAD
Governor Alexander Enthuses On
North Road.
LOOKING FOR COMMISSION WHICH
WILL CARRY OUT HIS PLANS.
May Call Special Session to Amend
State Constitution ii Project is
Deemed Feasible.

Laying OF a foundation for the
building of a north and south railroad
is to be the big achievement of the
present governor, If his plans work
out. He will not hesitate to call a
special session of the legislature to
further his scheme If he finds that
conditions warrant it. He intends to
establish record for devoting his
personal attention to the proposition.
The governor is now looking for
two men OF pre-eminent ability who
Will accept positions on the commits
sion which has been authorized to in
vestigate the feasibility of the pro-
posed railroad. He wants men who
will serve without pay and will be
willing to spend their own money in
making their Investigations without
hope OF recompense. He said Tues
day he already has one such man
available but he declined to mention
his name.
Little side trips to explain his
methods and motives are one of the
governors specialties, and from now
on the governor intends to devote
much of his time on those trips to
telling what the north and south road
means to the state. His next trip of
Importance is to be taken early in
May, when he will go to represent the
state at the opening of the DaIles-
Cello canal. The north and south
road will be his principal subject of
conversation at that time.
Shortly after making that trip the
overnor expects to complete the for
nation of the commission he is au-
thorized to appoint. He will not how
ever, stop with putting the commits
sion to work. In order to convince
the people of his earnestness in the
matter he intends to go over the pro-
posed route in person. After inspect
ing it he will announce to the people
of the state whether the road should
be built or not.
Should his trip convince him that
the building of the road would be
good politics, it is then altogether
likely, according to his own state
ments, that he may call a special ses-
sion of the legislature to consider the
scheme.
The constitution must be amended
before the state can get directly be-
hind railroad building enterprise.
The governor may call an extraordi-
nary session and ask it to submit the
necessary constitutional amendment
to permit the voters of the state to
say whether they wish to change their
organic law in order that the state
may build the road. Whether the
governor decides to ask such action
from the legislature depends largely
on political conditions as he finds
them when he makes his personal in
vestigation of the territory after the
commission has done its preliminary

Annual Gathering Closing Year
a Brilliant Affair.
MEMBERS PARTI-
CIPATE IN BIG BANQUET
Toasts From the Personified God
desses Full of Wit, HumOr and Mod
ern Lore.

The fourth annual breakfast of the
Twentieth Century club held Tuesday
afternoon was probably the most sue
cessful affair ever held from the
standpoint of attendance and enthus-
iasm of the members. Jewel hall, un-
der the tasteful decorative ability of
the committee proved a delightful
place in which to banquet The boun-
teous five-course breakfast, daintily
served by the ladies of the Episcopal
guild, was the medium over which the
ladies on the program for toasts were
able to give excellent account of them
selves in very pleasing vein
Mrs. w. F. Pike, taking the char
acter of Luna, as outgoing president,
in witty manner after her introduc-
ton by Mrs. Kunkely, the toastmis-
tress, gave up her reign to Mrs.
Spangler, the newly elected president,
as Aurora or the new day Both la
dies were heartily applauded for their
clever Interpretation of the Goddesses
in Twentieth Century conditions.
Mrs. II. w. Clouchek, as Ceres, was
equally interesting to the members
grouped around the banquet board,
in her application of the goddess of the
harvest to Idaho and Twin Falls
wealth Of resources. Mrs. V. H. Orms-
| by, as DIANA in humorous way,
showed the Twentieth Century women
pursuing the chase of ballots and
equal rights. Miss Jane Maxwell as
Pomona, in highly original manner,
brought her typified goddess into the
present century surrounded by present
day conditions. Mrs. A. L. Swim's
well known wit had full sway as Flora
and no one could for minute fail to
understand the satire with which the
Greclan deity was clothed in modern
garb. Minerva of olden fame had moth
ing on Mrs. M. G. Ripley for knowledge
OF the way things ought to be done
In fact, Minerva would have been a
tr1fle distressed over the manner in
which she has been outclassed by the
women of today.
Mrs. kunkely, as toastmistress, add
ed greatly to the interest in the toasts
by clever bits of poetry of her own
in introducing the various speakers.
At the conclusion the club song
led by Mesdames Dwight, Crozier, Nix
on, Adams and McLain, brought all
the guests to their feet to add to the
volume of song which rolled up from
the hall.
In keeping with the plan of the club
women to boost for home industries
the banquet was composed altogether
of Idaho and Twin Falls foods. The
menu follows:
Chicken Patties
Twin Falls Baked Potatoes
Payette Tiny Peas
Idahome Rolls
Jelly Sterling Butter
Twin Falls Pickles
Twin Falls Salad
Buhl Cheese Straws
Gem State Cream
1dahome Beet Sugar Cakes
Golden West Coffee
Varney's Beet Sugar MINIS
The success of the breakfast and the
pleasure of the guests was due largely
to the efforts of the following ladies.
on the various committees: Mrs. w. 7.
| Woods, Mrs. M. G. Ripley, Mrs. w. A.
Flower and Mrs. j. B. McLain.
The out-of-town guests were: Miss

Strong Rebuke Administered to
German Ambassador
PRESIDENT WILSON SAYS MUST
NOT GO TOO FAR
Relations OF United States With One
Great Power Not to be Discussed
With Third.

Washington-The United States gov
ernment replied Wednesday to the re-
cent memorandum in which Count Won
Bernstprff, the German ambassador
declared that eff the American peo-
pie desire to observe true neutrality
they will find means to stop the eX-
elusive importation of arms to one
side, .-or at leA3st to use this export
tral1e as q mepnsto uphold the legiti-
mate trade With Germany, especially
the.trade In foodstuffs."
The American note, which is signed
by Secretary H'yan, was drafted at
the state department but was finally
penned by President Wilson himself
After pointing out that the language
used by Count Won Bernstorff "is sus-
ceptible of being construed as i'm
pugning the good faith of the United
States in the performance of it's du-
ties as neutral the note takes it
# granted that no such implication
was intended" and suggests that evil
IDENTIFY the German ambassador sis
boring under certain false impress
sions"
1t is declared that while the rela-
tions of the United States with any one
OF the belligerentS cannot wisely be
made subject of discussion with a
third government" such correspond
ence between the United States and
the allies as has been published shows
the steadfast refusal" of the right of
any belligerent to alter the accepted
rules of war at sea insofar as they af-
feet the rights and interests of neu-
trails"
The attitude of the United States on
the question of expectations of arms
is restated-namely that to place any
embargo on arms during the progress
of war would be "a direct violation
of the neutrality of the United States"
The note refers to the spirit of friend
ship which the United States desires
always to manifest toward Germany
and its people, and concludes with the
declaration that the neutrality of the
United States ''is founded upon the
firm basis of conscience and good
will"
The communication was delivered
by messenger to Count Won Bernstorff
late Wednesday and by mutual ar
rangement with the German embassy,

Salmon River Tract Faces New
Legal Problem
STATE OF NEVADA CLAIMS STOR.
AGE WATER OF RIVER s..
Suit Filed by State of Nevada as Inters
venOr for the Utah Construction
Company. ~

The right Of a state to appropriate
and use waters from streams original
ing in another state and divert it to
this state, is the issue involved in
an important case argument which
opened in the United States district
court here today. 1t is the suit brought
by the Twin Falls-Oakley Land &
Water company versus the Vineyard
Land q Stock company and the Utah
Construction company, the state of Me-
Vada intervenor The Twin Falls-Oak-
ley company claims the waters of the
Salmon river and Goose creek both in
Idaho to 'irrigate land included in the
Twin Falls-Oakley and the Twin Falls
Salmon projects.
The two streams in question have
their watersheds and sources of water
supply in the state of Nevada and flow
into Idaho. Water from both streams
are used by the companies involved the
Vineyard Land & Stock company said
to be the property of the Utah Con-
struction company, having some 10000
acres of land in the state of Nevada for
which it uses water from these streams
TO irrigate. The two Idaho compan-
les named have their lands in Idaho
and also use water from both streams
for irrigation purposes.
The Nevada property owners back
ed by that state cite they are entitled
to the use of the water in Goose creek
for their irrigation season April / to
October The Idaho companies, they
say, propose to appropriate all of the
water storing part of it which would
leave the Nevada owners without wa
ter.
Nevada has $4,000 acres of land on
both sides of the Salmon river, of
which $4,000 are under irrigation. 1t
believes it is entitled to all of the wa
ter from this stream during the same
irrigation as stated above, and fur
ther seeks to store so per cent of the
water from the two streams. The Ida
no companies depend upon this stream
for water for their lands and are
