BULL COUNTY
GIVEN HOOK
Legislature Kills Off Hopes Of
Division
VOTE SATURDAY ENDS CHANGES
OF BUHL FOR YEAR.
John w. Faris Speaks for His Bill.
Representatives Waters and Hicks
Oppose.

On saturday morning the House Bill
NO. Z, by Farls, was reported out of
the committee on Divisions and Bound
aries without recommendation and left
to the tender mercies of the Legislators
Mr.. Faris obtained the floor and spoke
earnestly in favor of the bill and was
supported by one of the members from
Bannock county. Opposition to the
bill was commenced by Messrs. Wa
ters and Hick, the other two members
of the Twin Falls county delegation.
Little interest was manifested by the
majority of the Legislature, although
MI Faris and the Buhl men claimed
to have 39 votes for the measure on
first vote The thirty-nine votes did
not materialize, however, and total
OF thlrty-four votes were cast against
the creation of Buhl county with 1S
IN favor. Seven men however, spent
the time in the lobby while the vote
was taken. 1t was presumed that the
seven were pledged against, but were
perhaps sympathizers with the ambi-
tions of the Buhl people
The vote decisively ends county di-
vision for this year, although the Buhl
member of the house is said to be
working for an enabling act. It is to
be hoped that the people of the two
sections will get together and end the
strife and pull together The
Times believes that much could be
done if the radical spirits of the two
communities could be curbed. There
is no need for continual strife lasting
for years between sections which have
SO much in common.

ENGINEER NOT

A. t. Robinson Testifies On
Salmon River Case
DOES NOT BELIEVE THAT SYSTEM

Plans Of BondhOlders Given Setback
by Former State Engineer Mt Hear
ing.

Acceptance of the dam and canal of
the Twin Falls-Salmon River project
at this time by the state land board
would be unwise for the state, accord
ing to A. e. Robinson, who made a re-
port on the project when he was state
engineer Mr.. Robinson asserted that,
while on appearance, the works and
canal are ready for use, the state
would make mistake if it accepted
the work without further examina-
tion.
Mr. Robinson declared that he made
his investigation and report under ad-
verse conditions, as it was impossible
to turn water into the canal, and that
there was considerable snow on the
ground, He said that such projects
as the King Hill apparently were con-
structed according to the stipulations
OF the contract, but that since then,
water seepages have developed which
show that the state should demand
that water be turned into the canals
before the work is accepted.
S. H. Hays, representatimg the con-
struction company, appeared before
the board in the interest of the con-
struction company, which desires the
land board to accept the works as
now constructed. The board took the
question under advisement

SYMPATHY MOVES THE WORLD
Misfortune of Newsboy Turned to Good
Luck.

On Monday, while the rain was
pouring down and the streets were a
mass of Shiny mud little ragged
urchin started out with his bunch of
papers riding on the rear of a dray.
In attempting to get off the wagon
the lad dropped the papers into the
mud so that scarcely one was sal
able. Gingerly picking them up, the
once hopeful face changed to a down
cast one, apparently very near to
tears, as the greatness of his mis-
fortune dawned upon him. A number
of men standing by noted his plight
and calling him to them one after an
other purchased one of the papers,
which were unreadable. Every person
who CHANGED to pass was invited by
the first group of men to buy a paper
In a short time the entire bunch was
sold and the lads face covered with
mud and tears became illumined with
grin like the sun shining through
the storm clouds. The misfortune,
through sympathy, was transformed
into stroke Of good luck

ATTACK ON WARSAW
Violent Attacks Of Germans in Wysg0.
gr0d District.

Petrograd, Feb. 1.-Russian military
authorities believe Field Marshal Won
Hlndenburg is planning another thrust
at warsaw and that, in fact, he al
ready is developing a general attack
along the Warsaw front. Especial sig
nificance is attached to the violence
with which the Germans are resum-
ing their attacks i'm the Yyszogrod
district, at the junction of the BZura
and Vistula rivers ana farther south
near Bolimow.
In East Prussia, the Russians are
gradually extending their lines north
ward. The most recent DEVELOPMENT
is the raid across the frontier north of
Tilsit where are located German gran
aries containing large stores.
From the viewpoint of Russian staff
officers, however, chief Importance
still attaches to operations in the Car
pathians. Detached engagements at
various points in the mountains, and
among the foothills southward, are
intended by the Russians to Illustrate
the evident intention of the Austrians
to carry the fight to the open plains
of the upper San.
The occupation by the Russians of
cfAD5 "iAiiS Va iiltLC SlGd-
teSically, is attracting attention be-
cause of the theory that it will impair
Turko-German prestige in Persia and
prevent the Persians from co-operat-
ing secretly with the Turks, as they
are said to have done. The operations
in the campaign against Turkey, ac-
cording to statements today are on the
Turkish and Persian soil, Russian ter
r1tory having been freed of the Turks.
Occupation Of Tabriz was preceded
by a battle at Sophian, several miles
northwest of the city, which was de-
Tended by Kurds. They were attacked
by Cossacks, who charged repeatedly,
engaging the Kurds hand to hand. The
Truks, after their defeat at Sophian
evacuated Tabriz and retreated to-
wards Maragha, Is miles away.-Cap-

A fine SHOW
Blind Musicians Arouse Much Enthus.
iastic Applause.

The Dixie Minstrels gave a good
show at the Orpheum theatre last
night, the two blind men, johnson and
Mackay, are wonders. Although blind
from birth they are accomplished mu-
sicians and composers and display
splendid talent. They are we'll supl
ported by the company, although two
OF them were unable to appear on ac-
count of illness. The remaining eight
gave a minstrel show that would have
been ceditable to much larger COM
pany. Advanced minstrelsy is the
proper title as the loud and rough
display OF ragtime and coon shouting
is entirely lacking, which although
pleasing to- some does not appeal to
those who enjoy real talent. This col
ored show is therefore in class
above the average, which was reward
ed by generous applause and repeat
ed encores.
