COVER EIGHTH
AVENUE DITCH
City and Canal Company Com
promise Temporarily.
STEEL NET WILL PREVENT chill.
DREN FROM FALLING IN
Will Seek Responsibility Later in the
Courts rs to the Permanent Cover
ing Of Canal.

The menacing Eighth avenue ditch
is to be covered just as speedily as
the matter can be accomplished was
the statement made to The Times by
Mayor Everett NJ Sweeley Wednes-
day. By an agreement made with the
directors of the Twin Falls Canal
company the ditch will be covered
with heavy steel netting supported
by wooden cross braces SO that it will
be impossible for any child to get into
the water. Approaches to the ditch at
the edges of the city limits will be
protected by a screen to prevent the
entrance of any victim by that meth
cd.
The covering of course, will be not
a thing of beauty and only temporary,
costing about thousand dollars, but
will do the work until the legal end
of the argument can be threshed out
in court Both the city and the Canal
company are to be congratulated upon
making the compromise which will
prevent loss of life and accumulated
damage suits against them in case of
accident.

Action of County Commissioners
AnnuIIed by Court.
CANNOT MAKE INDIVIDUAL CON-
TRACT FOR TWO COUNTIES
Mnrtaugh Bridge Matter Must Go
Through Regular Process With the
County Board.

An important decision was made by
Judge Babcock this week regarding
the action of the Twin Falls Board of
County Commissioners, in letting a
contract for the Murtaugh bridge
across the Snake river Upon an ap-.
peal by citizens of Hansen from the
action of the county commissioners in
entering into a contract for the con-
struction of a bridge pointly owned
by two counties, Judge Babcock made
the decision that such contract was in
valid and sustained the appeal The
bridge matter must now be taken up
through the regular channels as a
joint contract between Minidoka and
Twin Falls counties, or the highway
district of the North Side, which is
directly concerned. A new petition al
leging necessity for such action and
the whole legal procedure must be
according to law.
The Murtaugh bridge. matter caused
much comment and surprise in this
city inasmuch as few citizens knew
of the proposition until it was sprung
full fledged by the county board The
petition is alleged to have been filed
having only nineteen signatures of
taxpayers of this county

KILLING Wild HORSES
Nevada Stock Man Has Shot Hun
dreds Of Head.

Rowing bands of wild horses are
beginning to fade away from the Ri
ordan ranch near Sunnyside. What
has upset them? Wow! Like bolt
out Of the clear sky. When any of
those unruly mustangs put in an ap-
pearance on the tracts of land used by
James Riordan as a range for his
large herds of cattle, they are quickly
dispatched by a rifle bullet.
Fortune has smiled on his efforts,
as several hundred head of wild
horses have been killed since Mr.
RiOrdan decided to rid that section of
the nomads. Carl Stevens, who has
been employed on the Riordan ranch
for the last year, devotes large por-
tion OF his time to killing the undesir-
ables
Mr.. Stevens was in Ely last Mon
day and estimates that two hundred
wild horses have been killed in that
section since different ranchers start
ed crusade against the animals who
were depriving their cattle of their
privileges. James Wakeling and r.
Hendricks have joined in the effort

MERCHANTS
ORGANIZE
Association Formed for Mutual
Cooperation
WILL GOVERN CLOSING DAYS AND
HOURS
Fake Advertising Will Have to Run
the Gauntlet Of Association Cen.
sOrship.

The merchants of Twin Falls have
perfected an organization known as
the Merchants Association which is
expected will do much toward increas-
ing the friendly relation among them
selves and prove of incalculable val
ue toward building up Twin Falls, as
trading center
The association starts off with a
membership of most of the prominent
merchants of the city, who have gath
cred from time to time in the pre-
liminary meetings. The question of
advertising has been given serious
consideration and hereafter fake ad-
vertising schemes will have hard
time getting the necessary approval
of the advertising committee of the new
association. Without such approval
no member will utilize such advertis-
ing. In no way does the new asso-
citation aim to fix prices or to pool
interests, and the manner and time of
holding sales is left to the individual
members.
At meeting held last Friday even
ing, the bylaws of the organization
were approved and board of direc-
tors consisting of the following were
elected G.. M. Booth, j. l.. Buttolph,
G. B. Channel, L. E. Salladay Sol
Strauss, J. A. Sinclair, j. Wight,
George Wiley, and L. T. Wright. These
directors will meet soon to elect the
officers for the association

WARNING TO INSURANCE MEN
Relating Discovered and Commission
er Says Practice Must Cease.

Rebating in insurance has been dis
covered as practiced in Idaho by State
Insurance Commissioner George f.
Steele who proposed to wage war on
the companies or agencies who prac-
tice it in the future With that idea
in view he has issued a warning to
all insurance companies under the
caption, important Notice." calling
their attention to the laws and the Sc
we're penalty for rebating. This sys-
tenn is said to have been practiced by
a number of companies combined, the
agents or agencies of the respective
companies rebating back to the insur-
ed party of the first premium paid
thereby securing an advantage over
agents who refuse to rebate The
practice must cease, according to In
surance Commissioner Steele or IL
censes will be revoked and prosecu-
tions follow
The notice of the insurance COM
missioner says in part: Especial at
tention is directed to the provisions Of
section A, page 26, insurance laws of
the state of Idaho, being section 10,
chapter 81, session laws of 1913; and
to section 45. page 2S, being section 20,
chapter 81, sessions laws of 1913" The
law makes rebating misdemeanor
subject on conviction to 500 fine
for each and every violation and i'm
prisonment in the county Jail for a
period of not less than 80 days or
both such fine and Imprisonment
Section 45 provides penalty for
Misrepresentation on the part of in
surance companies either through cir
cular or otherwise with regard to the
insurance policy or policies 1t sells.
This is also made misdemeanor with
fine of $100 for each offense and i'm
prisonment of six months in the coun-
ty Jail or both.
''Rebating, twisting and misrepre-
sentation are vicious practices and
will not be countenanced by this de-
partment," concludes the warning is
sued by the commissioner ANY and
all violations of these sections will be
vigorously prosecuted and no leniency
will be shown. Capital News.

MAY REPLACE MACkAY DAM
Utah Construction Engineers Believo
a New Dam the Best Solution.

Boise, June THE Utah Construc-
tion company, owners of the Big Lost
River Irrigation project, has decided to
replace the famous Mackay dam with
a new structure, to be erected nearby,
and thereby has solved one of the
knotty problems in connection with
the reinstatement OF this project,
which has played so important a part
in the history of this state. Engineers
of the company have made careful es-
Inmates of the engineering problems
in connection with the construction
of the new dam. The decision. is said
to have been transmitted by the COM
pany to the irrigation commission,
which met at Arco Tuesday of last
week to confer with the Lost River
settlers and inspected part of the pro-
ject. Chase A. Clark presided over the
commission session as chairman
A copy of the intended contract be-
tween the company and the settlers
was discussed at the commissions ses-
sion
The question to be decided was
whether the settlers would agree to
take half an inch of water instead of
five-eighths of an inch. The original
contracts called for the latter amount
According to the memorandum, this
amount the Utah people are unable to
furnish. What most of the settlers
object to was the statement that five
eighths OF an inch could not be fur
nished, still the Utah people reserved
the right to sell any water left over
after the settlers had been furnished
all the contracts called for
The objection raised by the settlers
was that II there was water left over
it should be stored for the succeeding
years or more water furnished the
settlers. Several men were called up
on to testify as to whether half an
inch would be sufficient, and 1t devel-
oped that there was a difference of
opinion as to whether this could be
done. 1t was explained that on ac-
count of the gravelly formation Of
some OF the soil under the project,
some stretches required more water
than others The views Of over q
dozen men were heard on this particu-
lar point; the majority being of the
opinion that one-half inch was not
sufficient.
The statements Of each man were
taken down in shorthand by a stem
ographer and later this commission
will go over these statements again
and make their recommendations to
the land board The meeting was ad-
journed and Immediately afterwards
the association, or Carey act water
users, or actual settlers under the pro-
ject, held meeting and appointed a
committee to negotiate with the COM
mission should the occasion arise

CANNOT DIVERT FUNDS !
Library Site Must be PrOc16ed by
Bond Issue.

According to NJ ayor SMeeley in the
regular session Pf TIE city council,
when the matter pf<furchasing a site
for the proposed Carnegie library, was
brought up, the city cannot legally
take money from the general fund
for the purchase of site. Mayor
Sweeley advocates the issuance of
bonds to cover such purchase and the
placing of the matter squarely before
the taxpayers. If the citizens interest
ed in securing library would volun-
teer to act as clerks and judges of such
election the expense could be brought
down to minimum. Tt is worth at
tempting at least, in order to get the
library site and thus obtain the TWEEN
ty thousand dollar donation. The Ii
brary in its present quarters is crowd
ed and the number of books circulated
is astonishing.

RECTAL A SUCCESS
Pupils Give Splendid Program We'd
nesday Evening.

On Wednesday evening at eight o.
clock, at the First Christian church,
the pupils of the Music and Art Stu
dio gave recital in which they gave
evidence of careful teaching and dill
gent study.
The program was made up of num-
bers by pupils of the violin under Miss
Pauline Alfonte, and piano depart
'ment, Misses Grace Bell and Georgia
Martin, and several numbers by the
advanced pupils were rendered in an
artistic manner.
The Juvenile orchestra, which
made it's initial appearance at this re-
cital proved to be a surprise, giving
two selections and considering that
they have been organized for only
a few weeks, and composed of chill
dren from to IL years of age, did
very we'll.
The exhibit of the art department,
under the efficient tutorship of Miss
Eva Martin, was of a very high order
and much commented upon by the
large audience present.
