A GRADE BRIDGE
IS NOT DESIRED
". v. Humphrey Gives Reason
for Rim to Rim Bridge
TELLS OF COST OF FREIGHTING
ACROSS SNAKE RIVER CANYON
Says That the Hansen Rim to Rim
Bridge Appeals to the Majority Of
the Voters Of County.

The arguments and evidence in fay-
or Of the Hansen rim-to-rim bridge
are piling up every day and from
sources entirely disinterested, and un-
prejudiced. W. W. Humphrey, of Twin
Falls, who was in Hansen Wednesday
on business. made some statements
backed by actual experience with these
very grades in Twin Falls county,
which show the attitude of the major
ity of the taxpayers of the county who
view these various bridge propositions
In the light of the benefit which they
will be to legitimate business, and the
return they will bring for the invest
ment.
Mr.. Humphrey is one of the original
arrivals on the tract, having been as
sociated with Bickel and others in the
original surveys and work, both on
this tract and also on the North Side
segregation. He is very we'll known
over the country and any interest he
may have in the Hansen bridge is
purely that of the majority of the tax
payers of the county who want to see
the public money, of which they them
selves contribute a part, used where it
will be of most benefit to the greatest
number. Mr.. Humphrey made these
statements and stated that he would
say the same thing under oath. He
has the original bills of lading, etc, to
tproye his statements, and refers also
to the files of the First National Bank
of Twin Falls for further proof. 6
In the early days when Grant Bro
theirs were starting the work of con-
structing the canals on the North Side,
Mr.. Humphrey contracted to furnish
the hay and grain necessary to supply
these outfits. The camp of Grant Bro
theirs, to which these supplies were to
be delivered, was just on this edge of
the Skeleton Butte, across the river
Just north and east of Hansen. There
were regular freighters here in those
days, and as Mr.. Humphrey supposed
he could get these men to take the hay
and grain across the canyon either at
the Perrine grade or at ShOshone
Falls, he came across the canyon and
bought his supplies just north of Kim
berly, and Twin Falls. These points
where he had purchased a good per
cent of his grain and hay were in sight
of the Butte camp, and were just
about fifteen miles from that camp
by way of Shoshone falls crossing
However, when Mr. Humphreys came
back to ask these professional freight
iers whose business it was to know
these grades and what it was worth
to traverse them with load, he was
staggered to hear their demand. Then
the contractors, Grant Brothers, offer
ed their teams to Mr.. Humphrey, but
those drivers, after making one trip
and finding out just what they were
up against refused to try it again.
Then it was that Mr.. Humphrey tried
to pull a cable out of the canyon which
they had been using to get water out
of the river. He intended to swing
this cable across the canyon and make
