1858 by room registration.
Although it cannot be said that the
visitors for Rock Island "Go-to-
School" week totaled 10000, the goal
set for the campaign, still the room
registrations or the number of visits
even exceeded this number. Also,
when the previous number of visitors
this year. totaling AIS, most of whom
were brought into the school by the
Parent-Teacher associations, are add
ed to the number of visitors during the
past week, it is found that this num-
Der equals 9,622. However, the i'm
portance Of the number of room visits
cannot be emphasized too greatly, ac-
cording to Superintendent f. C. Fish
er, as this number represents the real
work done by the campaign.
Another interesting feature of the
week is the comparison OF the school
enrolment of pupils with the number
of visitors to the school, These figures
are by no means regular for all the
buildings, as the figures vary from the
case of Grant school, whose visitors
are $50 less than the enrolment of pu-
pills, to the records at Longfellow and
Frances Willard schools, where the
number Of visitors was much in excess
Of the school enrolment The proper
tons were controlled to quite an ex-
tent by the special attractions at the
different schools and these features at
both of these last two buildings were
big drawing cards for visitors. Long
fellow was especially fortunate in this
regard, as the play. "Evangeline, "
given by the eighth grade, proved a
great success and drew a large aud
fence.
The largest number Of visitors for
a single school is held by the high
school with total of S24, II the num-
Der attending the Manual Arts is
added to the total in the main build
ing The grade school championship
Is held by Longfellow with total OF
S0b. The high school inter-class con-
test was won by the junior class with
24o visitors to their credit. Next in
order came the freshman, senior and
| sophomore classes.

A woman giving the name of Earle

10 Judge \. A. Larson in county court
this morning to be an habitual user of
morphine. She stated that she used as
high as eight grains of the dope daily,
when she could get it. Medical COM
mission composed of Dr. J. E. Assay
and DR.. c. 7. Foster examined her and
recommended that she be sent to Wa
tertown hospital for treatment, which
was ordered by the court

She stated that she had received
treatment for the drug habit at Iowa
City. She was willing to enter the hos
pital for treatment as a voluntary pa
tient, but since this class of patients
can be released any time after three
days notice, the victims as a rule re-
fuse TO remain at the institution long
enough to be permanently cured She
was, therefore, committed as an invol-
untary patient and will have to remain
under the care of physicians until
properly discharged. She was sent tC
WatertOwn hospital once before.

Another factor that entered into the
closing of the contract was the prompt
delivery guaranteed by the Maxwell
Company. A promise was made that
the cars would all be turned over in
three days and this promise was full
filled to the letter.
In the consignment are twenty-one
runabouts and touring car, the re-
mainder being chassis for special COM
mercial bodies.
The growing popularity of the Max
well chassis in the commercial field
was another element that entered in
to the transaction. These chassis are
delivered all ready for the tops. to be
fitted on. There is no extra wiring or
adjusting to be done. The tops may
be made according to the specifica-
tions and requirements of the owner.
Many merchants are finding this a
most convenient method of purchas-
ing cars for delivery purposes.
Last year, Kansas City used num-
Der of motor cars of make other than
Maxwell in it's municipal service. For
several months, Mr.. Weaver, the city's
purchasing agent, has been keeping a
close tab on gasoline consumption and
he knows a good deal of what the Max
well can accomplish along this very
important line. He wisely concluded
that the use of Maxwell cars for the
city service would cut down the NUM-
cipal gasoline bill to an appreciate
degree.
The Johnson Auto Sales Company of
this city, have just received a car load
of these popular cars. 1t may be some
time before we can get more cars.

GETS BIG
MUNICIPAL ORDER

The Maxwell Motor Company closed
contract last week with the NUM-
cipal government of Kansas City for
twenty-seven new motor cars. The
order was placed by William G. Wea-
yer, purchasing agent for Kansas City,
after he had made an investigation
extending over a field of cars of vari-
GUS makes. He found the Maxwell
best adapted to the needs of the ex-
acting municipal service, because of
its durability, its dependability and
its great economy in operation.

Jacob Jacobson has started a dam
age suit against the Twin Falls North
Side Land & Water company, alleging
that his crops were damaged to the
amount of $4,000 on account of the
company's failure to deliver sufficient
water last season. He leased 120 acres
of land from Charles McCabe in sec
ton 31-7-14, for which McCabe holds
a water contract. The complaint al
leges that the company had failed to
build storage reservoirs and provide
sufficient supply of water, in ac-
cordance with its contract with the
state, and that only during a part of
April and May was sufficient water
delivered to properly irrigate the land,
while during the greater part of June,
July and August there was no water
at all. Rex V. Wilcox is plaintiffs at
torney.-North Side News

SMALL BOY ELECTROCUTED
AT MINIDOKA DAM
In Attempt to Climb Tower He
Came In Contact With Wire of
High Voltage.
From Exchanges

Theodore LeOni, the eight-year-Old
son of Mrs. Caesar Leoni, who lives
near the dam, met instant death at
$3.50 Memorial day. The lad upon
touching one of the wires at the dam
received the full charge of $4,000 volts
resulting in his death. According to
the story related by an older brother
of the lad, his intentions were to go
up the tower and touch the wire with
a piece of sage brush which he car
ried with him. He some how threw
his arm over the wire and when the
circuit was completed between the
boys body and the tower, he was en-
veloped in a viscious flame. The wire
was about fifty feet from the ground
and the boy after being horribly
burned plunged downward. The fall
resulted in a crushed skull in addi-
tiOn to other injuries. The brother
ran home to break the sad news and
the mother and uncle of the unfor-
tunate child rushed to the side of the
little victim. Upon examination of the
tower it was discovered that the metal
in the tower beams which received
the current had been fused and it was
thought that the boy had thrown his
arm over the wire or had come in con-
tact with it in some other effective
manner.
New Decision On Game Law-It
seems that the federal authorities
have again upset the theories of
sportsmen regarding the open and
closed seasons on migratory birds.
Last season there was considerable
controversy over the situation, and
sportsmen generally felt content to
stand pat on the federal regulation,
making October 1st the first day of
the open season on ducks, the state
law having defined it a month earlier
In the meantime it appears that
various factors have been busy in the
effort to set aside the regulation and
create a new one, and according to a
bulletin, received locally from the de-
partment of agriculture, which has
jurisdiction over the game department,
a freak open season is before us for
this year, if another change is not
made.
The zones are also changed, and on
the rather peculiar theory, Idaho is
placed in the breeding zone, and the
season opened % days earlier than
last year-the very thing the sports
men have fought against, as the birds
of the breeding areas of this state will
be moved down by kids and pot
shooters long before their pin-feath-
ers are even half developed
The bulletin establishes the closed
season on water fowl in Zone No. 1,
between December p and September
6, next following, except in certain
states, Idaho not being included
among such states. In other words,
this means that the season this wear
if not set aside, would open on the
morning of September z, and cease on
the night of December 20.
One of the fool parts of this regula-
ton, however, is that while Idaho is
The Twin Falls times. [volume] (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1905-1916, 1916-06-06

opened earlier and closed earlier, the
states of Oregon, Washington and
Utah, are excepted, and the same open
season as last year obtains with the
neighbors, or between October 1 and
January 16.
This means that the sportsmen can
get busy early in September and run
all the old ducks into the neighbor-
ing states, and kill off the fledglings,
and about the time the shooting gets
good in the states of Oregon, Wash
ington and Utah, and the ducks come
back to Idaho, the season will be
closed. Sportsmen of this locality are
rather at a loss to figure out who
promulgated this eccentric regulation.

ALPENA CELEBRATION
 GRAND SUCCESS

Quite number of Green Forest folks attended the celebration at Alpena and bring back quite fiattering report of the good time and orderly conduct in general throughout the day.
 At ten o'clock a parade was formed, headed by the Alpena Brass Band and marched from town to the picnic grounds just west of town. This splen- did little band furnished pleasing music throughout the day.
 An address of welcome was made by Ed. Rue Porter and responded to by Dr. H. l.. Ruth of Batavia.
 At twelve o'clock dinner was served on the ground, and everything that heart could wish was there in great abundance.
 The afternoon program was resumed by music by the Band led by able ad- dresses by Attorneys A. |. Kinney and Ira M. Gurley of Greer Forest. They were followed by a .,sl imder of short addresses by lecal Sit sers; AEsix o'clock the baIleSssY ascensioi was made by a young aeronaut iron Searcy. From some cause the balloon would not inflate and the ascension was only Q few hundred feet, but served for very pleasing part of the pro- | cram,
