SOME CHANGE IN GRADE
State Engineer and j. A. Bybee Revise
Route to Falls.

While in Twin Falls the first Of this
week, Assistant Highway Engineer
Cornell spent considerable time with
County Surveyor Bybee going over the
route selected for the grade down to
the ferry at Shoshone falls. AS re-
suit number of changes were made
and approved by Mr.. Cornell, which
will give nearly the same route down
the first pitch as now used. This sec
tion which has proved the downfall of
many ambitious motorists however,
will be cut down to eight per cent
and will have a radious at the turn of
about fifty feet eliminating all possible
danger. There were but few other
changes made in the rest of the
route but in all about eight hun
dred feet is cut off with some
expensive rock work. This route
approved by Mr. Cornell, will
no doubt be approved by the state
highway commission.

SHERIFF A PROBATION OFFICER
Bill Passes Senate, Nov Goes to the
Governor.

The act to make sheriffs OF this
state ex-officio probation officers, and
which has the opposition of many of
the women's clubs and organizations of
the gentler sex over the state, was
passed by the senate this morning un-
der fire of several senator's, led by
Senator Ravenel Macbeth, who declar-
ed passage of such measure was a
most reactionary step. The act known
as senate bill No. 140, substitute for
senate bill No. 81. tt passed by vote
of 20 to II.
Senators Hart, Whitcomb, Frazier
Rockwell and Proctor spoke for it.
Macbeth, Zuck, Graham and Elliott
were strongly against 1t. Those in fa-
yor of the measure claimed the bill
would not jeopardize the good work of
Juvenile courts, those opposed to it
were confident that it would result in
that very thing. The latter classed
passage of a measure of this kind was
reactionary in the extreme.
The vote on the final passage of the
bill was as follows:
Yes-Day, Fitz, Frazier, Fuller, Har-
ding, Hart, Hayes, Houtz, Johnson,
