WHY IT WILL BE THE
BANNER SEASON

Some people-even home folks
are disposed to criticize the Florida
press for beginning at this season
what they call the "old stereotyped
euf' about the greatest tourist sea
son in Florida history being right
ahead of us this winter. Such people
are merely yielding to an ancient
propensity of human nature to hear
Itself talk, and especially to hear it.
self croak
The State press is right. Each
winter season is to bring tourists in
greater numbers than the season
preceding and this has been the case
without interruption for at least ten
years past. Florida was but little
known when the first few tourists

FOR AN ANTI FLY CAMPAIGN

The Women's Civic Club met at the
High School Saturday afternoon. A
vocal solo by Miss Marion Jones was
greatly appreciated.
The meeting was devoted chiefly to
the discussion Of a fly campaign. Many
articles gathered from letters, printed
reports of State Boards of Health and
from other we'll known authorities on
the fly problem were read, showing the
necessity of such a cam paign, owing to
the fact that the fly is considered a
most dangerous disease spreader.
Facts were pre- sented showing that
the habits of the fly make it the great
est carrier of disease. 1t is the filthiest
of all insects. 1t is born in filth, lives
in filth, carries filth and deposits filth
on our food. Wherever flies are found
you may rest assured filth is close by
and filthy places are dangerous to
health.
Many people do not realize what a
dangerous insect the fly is and that by
screening, trapping and destroying the
breeding places, this insect can be ex-
terminated at slight expense.
Screen the porches and windows.
Trap the fly before he gets in. Keep
the back yard clean, and destroy the
breeding places. Swat the winter fly.
All filth, such as kitchen slops, gar
bage etc, should be kept covered until
removed. To kill flies in and around
the garbage pail, sprinkle formalde-
hyde solution-1 part formalin to 10
parts water, once d week. Kerosene
may also be used to good advantage.
To quickly clear room where there
are many flies, burn pyrethrin powder.
This stupefies the flies, when they may
be swept up and burned.
The Boy Scouts of America have
proved one of the best agencies for pro-
noting healthful conditions throughout
the country.
A special meeting will be held at the
High School, Saturday, April 18th, at
three o'clock, to make definite arrange
ments for a systematic anti fly cam
paign throughout the city.
Let us all work together for fyless
community.
The question of uniting with the
State Federation of WOmen'S Cl11hS
will also be considered at this meeting

A MATTER OF PUBLIC POLICY
STREET OILING.

The city council ought to declare at
the outset this year a definite policy in
regard to street oiling and the payment
therefor If the oil is to fall like the
rain of heaven upon the property of the
just and the unjnst, the just and the
unjust ought to know it so that they
can file their petitions and have their
streets oiled. The entire cost of street
oiling we understand was paid out OF
the general fund last year. It, hardly
seems fair that the property of resi-
dents away down on Castle Rock ave
nue. or away mp on Barlows promontory
should be taxed to oil boulevards ur
town. nor even to oil the speedway on
High and Commerce streets.

A GOOD INVESTMENT
Rim to- Rim Bridge Would be Benefit
to Whole Country.

Much favorable comment has been
aroused both in Hansen and in all the
cities of the tract by the publication
of the guaranteed estimate of the Han
sen rim-to-rim bridge. The unanl-
nous opinion seems to be that at the
reasonable cost to this county OF less
than 10000, it is not business policy
to put as much into grade bridge
with the accompanying dangerous
grades, where the resulting crossing
could be used barely half the year and
then only at the risk of life and limb.
And the value of such a grade bridge
would be but about half that or the
high structure to the farmer who had
loads to haul, to the sheepmen who
had flocks to move, or to the autolst
who wished to cross to the north side,
without racking his machine to pieces.
The autoists claim that of two men
starting from Twin Falls in identical
cars, one could run to the high bridge,
cross without any danger, and be wait
ing for the other man at the top OF
the grade on the north side at Sho-
shone falls The farmers on the north
side are hememd in on one side BY the
Snake river canyon and on the other
| by the Skeleton butte, which means
long up hill pull in order to get their
grain to market as well as to get to
town to do their business. What would
be the help to them to put steep,
dangerous grade before them? Could
they haul their grain across there any
easier than where they now travel?
Could their wives and children drive
/ to town with any more safety or ease
where they had to cross place where
serious accidents occur with fright
full regularity? Contrast this with the
rim-to-rim bridge where the morse
would not know he was on a bridge
Il except for the floor under him, and
where those in the vehicle would not
know it unless they should look over
the side. And once the bridge is IN
| the teS pe.ss is practically -pothln1g1.
4 no yearly repair to the grades anu ap-
proaches which have been damaged
by wind and rain.
| The relative sentiment behind the
various bridge propositions in thi:
county is shown by the petitions pres
ented by those interested. The Hansen
bridge is backed by the signatures O
over 500 persons, and the acreage re
presented by these names is close t.
4O, 900 acres Does this not show tina
the demand for a im-to-rim bridge il
felt by all who know where Snake riy
er canyon is? The fact is that TIN
majority of names on other petition
were first on the Hansen petition am
| when the report was circulated by tn
unknowing that the Hansen bridg
was 100000 proposition, these sign
ers said "Well, we need bridge acros
II there, and we want high bridge frs
\ but If high bridge will cost $4,000
/ we will have to be satisfied with som

| cost of the Hansen bridge is known
