WRITES OF EDGAR UNDER.
WOOD AND GRENADA.
Or. Clifton in Private Letter to Editor
Sentinel Expresses Pleasure at
Seeing Grenadia1 in Florida.

The Editor is taking the liberty of
publishing a personal letter received q
few days ago from his friend, DR.. W.
L. Clifton at Barlow. Fla. Mr.. Cht-
tons many friends here are always
pleased to hear from him and all will
appreciate the complimentary refer
ences to that bully good fellow Ed
gar Underwood:
The other day ] was standing on
the railroad platform at Plant City, a
junction where | was changing trains,
who do you suppose walked up? Why,
''ole' Edgar Underwood. ! just took
him by the hand, stood looking him
hard in the eyes and as ] stared said.
well. I'll be dawged. And while l
feasted my vision on his handsome phiz
and form-you know the boy always is
a good looker-the crank said, You
don't know me yet What do you
know about that? I would know even
a piece of any white mans hide from
Grenada. though the piece were no
bigger than sufficient to make a small
purse and even though it were stained
to initiate alligator. certainly was
glad to see Underwood. My guess is
that you folks will lose him pretty
soon, for Florida is a fatal place for a
fellow to come. If a few of the Gre
NADIA people would come down here, ]
think ! should be entirely content to
live here forever.
You can just tell the folks that Un-
derwood is selling the plows, and the
fellow that gets away from him is
either deaf, hard of understanding or
busted. l always knew he was a bright
kid, but l never knew he had such a
fluent flow of fetching phrases until !
heard him tackle a hardware mar here
in Barlow. He almost convinced me
that l ought to take to the farm merely
for the privilege of enjoying the use Of
one of his middle busters.
You can also tell his friends that he
is keeping his health and strength in
spite of Florida's reputed uncomfortable
hot weather of the summer time. If
he has lost any flesh since he came
down here, he certainly must have
been a bouncer when he left home. He
was looking fine when he left this burg.
Give all my friends my love when
they speak Of me, and if they don't
speak of their own accord, kinder hint
around and make them speak,

Gr0ssman, the Undertaken, Opens "
ParlOrs This Week.

P. ]. Grossman, one of th4pioneers
of this county and one Of the live
undertakers in this city, has just COM
pleted the furnishing of one of the
most modern establishments in the
state. Having leased all of the Bri-
zee building on Second street east, Mr..

time and money in making the place
neat and attractive
In the right wing of the building is
located the offices of Mr.. Grossman
with workroom and morgue at the
back, all shut off from public view,
yet accessible to the relatives of the
dead without encountering the eyes
of the curious On the left wing is
fitted up large and well furnished
chapel with small room in which the
mourners can sit during the ceremony.
This chapel is reached either directly
from the street or from the main Of
flee.
Upstairs the rooms are given over to
a big display and stock room capable
of showing off to the best advantage
the big line now carried by the firm.
Here also are rooms for the man who
will be ready day or night to serve
the people of this county and these
rooms are fitted up as handsomely
as the rest of the establishment.
In the basement will be kept many
of the supplies with which to care
for the emergency business. Taken al
together the Grossman establishment
will be credit to both the enterpris-
ing young proprietor and to this city.

arrangements to place agents ut work
for the benefit Of the counties. An

Cost TO County Will Not Exceed Thirty
Thousand Dollars.
Hansen Citizens Get Guaranteed Estimate from Big Bridge
Company to Build Entire Bridge For Sixty thousand.

For the past two years the idea of a
rim to rim bridge across the Snake
river has been gaining in favor as the
accidents on the grades have become
more numerous every year and the
delays in getting across on the ferries
become more frequent The Times re-
porter in the past six month has inter
viewed large number of taxpayers
from all parts of the county and with
the exception of a few interested peO-
pie In other bridge sites the concen-
sus of opinion Is for rim to rim
bridge 1t is estimated that approx
imately six hundred automobile own
ers of this county are sOlidly back of
such a move.
A little over year ago at large
ly attended mass meeting the citizens
of this county expressed to the county
commissioners their preference for a
rim to rim bridge and urged that levy
be made to care for such structure
which should be placed near Hansen
as the most favorable location. The
commissioners then agreed to do so
and the matter was considered settled.
However, with the advent of the
election season and the coming into
power of new board of county COM
missioners the matter has not only
been allowed to languish, but great
many unnecessary obstacles placed in
the way Of that bridge as the Times
claims for nothing but political rea-
sons.
Most of that opposition has come
from the commissioner reelected from
the Twin Falls ommissioner-distric
on the grounds as he claims of the
great cost of such project. At the
same time he has never taken any
steps to ascertain the cost outside of
guesses made by his pet, Fox
Guaranteed an Estimate.
A short time ago in order to get

action on the bridge the Hansen peo-
pie appeared before the county COM
misstOners and pledged to raise the
necessary money to get a guaranteed
estimate on that bridge The COM
m1ssloners agreed to do this but have
been very backward about the mat
ter claiming that the people of the
North Side could not raise their share
and various other excuses. Now all
that the commissioners base such
assertions upon is the statement of
the highway commissioners of Hills
dale, who are known to be antagonis-
tict to such bridge for selfish rea-
sons. There has not been a
consistent, well directed effort to
ascertain the desires of the peo-
pie of that side of the river. This
much is known that enough taxpayers
and residents of that side of the riv-
er signed a petition for rim to rim
bridge to carry the bond issue If put
up. But stories circulated by inter-
ested parties on this side of the river
of prohibitive cost of such bridge have
made those people apprehensive and
uncertain. But mind, not an effort has
been made so far to see what that
cost would be. Since the money for
such an estimate has been guaranteed,
Mr.. Carlson of the county commission
erso was asked by Mr.. Provost why
work was not started ON the estimate
and was informed that the money had
T, not been put up. In other words Mr..
Carlson was stalling until that money
on deposit in the Twin Falls Bank
and Trust company under agreement
to be turned over on completion OF
the estimate, should be put into the
hands of the commissioners. 1t would
look as though Mr.. Carlson was
straining at gnat in the matter in

My Dear Brennan:
l am sure you will be interested III
knowing that the apples sou helped
gather last fall are still holding up
fine and the W. Banana from d. $
Spencer, assistant passenger agent,
of the o. S. L., have been the talk of
the exposition and are still holding

been on display since the 18th ms. and
are nearly as crisp and firm as the
day they were picked, also have Jona-
than from Twin Falls that are firm
and crisp.
The attendance at the exposition IS
getting better and it looks now as #
it would be success from every point
of view. What are the prospects for
crops In your district and especially
fruit? What percentage oi the crop
this year will be shipped through the
association? Do you think a firm with
good backing and in a position to
advance some money to the growers
could be able to do some business in
your section? How many cars will be
available and how is the quality go
ing to be compared to last year? Will
there be any prunes in car lots In
your section and how many?
Have had very busy six months in
Frisco but am very we'll satisfied with
the results obtained and am sure that
Idaho will be well repaid for her ef-
forts here.
Would be pleased to hear from you
at an early date, If conditions are fav-
orable may be able to send interested
parties into your district. With kind
est regards to our mutual friends.
