the Pacific coast, Jacob Schiff, is said

FOR several years the Santa Fe has

country from the Pacific coast and a
corps OF Santa Fe engineers has been
at work in Nevada for several years
working on an extension of the Tono-
pah d Tidewater railroad, which is
controlled by the Santa Fe, having
been purchased from "Borax" Smith.
+ Tho Hill interests desire the West
ern Paclfic as it would give the Bur-
llngton a line direct to the Pacific
coast and an entrance into San Fran
cisco, which the Hill interests have
been after for several years. The
placing of trains on the Union Pacific
by the Burlington road is said to be a
movement on the part of those inter-
ested in the building of the Burlington

the Western Pacific to placate the
Hill interests in the manner of coast

being conducted in the same manner

NATURAL SCfN5M
Big Underground CayerT Under Han.
sen FARM OF Peter Link.

Not many HeopI hereabout know
that within only few miles of kim
berly there isL,| be found what NAV
prove to be one of the most interest
ing scenic attractions in this part OF
the state 1t is big underground
cavern on the ranch of Peter Link
three miles south of Hanscen.
The cavern, it is understood las new
er been fully explored, although sew
eral young men of the neighborhood
have gone in over 500 feet They were
afraid to continue operations for fear
of accidents, having only 100 feet of
rope with them.
AS near as can be learned the cavern
was first entered by party of which
A. z. Bills, of Hansen, was a member.
They were roaming over the Link
ranch one Sunday and on the highest
point of the place, they noticed wash
out between two boulders. The water
had carried off the earth between the
rocks and deep hole was revealed
At the bottom there was an incline of
some As degrees. The crowd got ropes
and went down into the opening. What
was their surprise to discover they
were in real cave. They continued
their Investigations, and found after
going several hundred feet that no end
wall was in sight. The last chamber
they entered was some so feet above
their heads, from which fact may be
realized the size of the cavern
1t would be worth while for someone
to conduct an exploration of the cav
ern. 1t might prove that right here
at our doors there is scenic attrac-
tion really worth while-Kimberly

MOTHERS DAY
Twin Falls Should Observe Day Made
Nation Wide in its Scope.

1t is a wonderful thing, mother
other folks can love you but only your
mother understands
She works for you, looks after you
loves you, forgiyes you anything you
may do, understands you and then only
bad thing she ever does to you is to
die and leave you.
The sweetest thought in all the hui
man emotion is the thought OF mother
So Miss Annie Jarvis, of Philadel-
phia originated Mothers Day and the
second Sunday of May was selected
and set aside, so that all mothers,
living or dead should be honored some
day.
1t is beautiful sentiment, well
worthy the observance of every man,
woman and child on earth. Wear a
flower for her sake on Mothers Day.
White flowers for mother in memory
dear,
Bright flowers for mother who is here.

Colin McRae Has Freak With HOo
Many Limbs Added to s\FlQfk.

A lamb having six perfectly form
ed legs was dropped on the sheep
ranch of Colin McRae at Hepburn
seven weeks ago. The lamb is healthy
and lively and even more frisky than
its companions 1t uses all its limbs
and gets around without suggestion
of clumsiness.
Mr.. McRae did not state whether
the six-legged lamb ambles, tangoes
or fox trotted with it's surplus pedals,
but after seven weeks of spring life,
It shows every sign of living to a ripe
old age.
Usually extra limbs on an animal
are useless appendages, being mall
formed and deficient in muscle, in
addition to being so placed as to. rem
der them unfit for use. Mr.. McRae's
lamb actually uses an its limbs In

BASEBALL WITH ]tRO|W
Twin Falls Loses Game on Nrth Side

Twin Falls due TO Aumber of un-
fortunate incidents presented an easy
target for Jerbme 6n the latter's
grounds last Sunday and lost to the
North Siders 4 to 0. Ashenfelter for
Jerome, was at his best and at no
time was heavily hit. A high wind
blowing played havoc with several of
Twin Falls long hits to the left field,
them fouls instead of two and
three baggers. The absence of one or
two of the old reliables also demoraliz-
ed the team work. At any rate Jerome
earned the game and Twin Falls is
going to try to redeem her lost laurels
at the first opportunity.

OPPOSED BY SUPPORTERS.

If President Wilson Is of the opinion
that people are DESTROYS that such
piece of legislature should be put
through as is aimed at by the ship
purchase bill, which he recently de-
clared should be enacted If capital
cannot be interested otherwise in the
rine, he can get some valuable first
hand information to the contrary by
feeling the pulse of the various sec
tions of the country.
Perhaps he might expect no greater
support from any locality than from
the south, and he has certainly had
no more ardent supporter than the
Charleston News and Courier but even
that paper is of the belief that such a
solution of the American shipping
problem is unwise. Such a step it
believes will be viewed with regret by
many of his staunchest supporters and
says aside from the repugnance
which thousands Of good democrats
entertain for government ownership
on principle, it is an absolute and in
controvertible fact that as long as
the United States maintains it's pres
ent navigation laws the government
could not own and operate merchant
ships except at heavy loss. These
ships would come into competition
with vessels under other flags the first
cost of which had been much lower
than that of the American vessels and
which would be operating probably
at less than half the expense to which
the American vessel would be subject
ed"
If this country is going to lend en-
couragement to capital to aid in the
upbuilding of its merchant marine it
must first of all make necessary
changes in its laws concerning ship
ping. The greatest help which can be
given in such a cause lies in a re-
vision of recent legislation.
