GERMAN OFFENSIVE
COMES TO AN END
Fighting on The Verdun Front
Settles Down TO Artillery Fight
PLANS OF THE TEUT0NS STILL
STILL HELD IN MASK.
Opinion Held in Some Quarters That
They Are Moving Big Guns Forward
to BOmbard Objects of the Drive.

The Germans in the battle-scarred
region of Verdun continue their bonn
bardments west of the Meuse in the
region between Malancourt and Forges
across the river eastward about Vaux
and Dam Loup, and against French
trenches in the Woevre regions, south
west of Verdun.
Their big offensive, however, so far
as infantry attacks are concerned has
ceased, at least for the moment.
Whether it will begin again, or wheth
the Germans will rest content with
the points of vantage they have gain
ed, is not indicated in the official re-
ports of either Berlin or Paris.
Unofficial advices from Berlin have
stated that the German plan of cam
paign has been primarily based on the
bombardment of sectors they desire to
attain, and it is possible they may
now be drawing up their big guns to
capture positions, with the object Of
shelling points nearer to their objec-
tive-Verdun.
While nothing OF especial import
ance has taken place along the Brit
ish part Of the line, the effect of the
German offensive in the Verdun re-
gion is shown In the lengthening OF
their front in order to release the
French for reinforcement OF the army
opposing the German advance. Unof-
ficial advices had placed the extreme
southern end of the British line in tn,
region of Lens. The latest British Of
ficial communication reports the Brit
ish fighting to the north of Somme
which would show that they hav,
stretched their front between 30 ant
40 miles down to the region of Am
lens.
Little is going on in Russia excep
isolated bombardments and infantr.
attacks and air raids. On the Italian
front Italians have occupied and con
solidated an Austrian position OF
Mount Harmolada Elsewhere in thi
region only artillery bombardment
have prevailed
On the Asiatic battlefields the Rus
SLAMS continue their pursuit of tn
, Turks in the Caucasus region and Il
Persia.
Germany, according to a dispatcl
from Madrid, has sent an ultimatum t
Portugal, demanding the release with
; in 4S hours of the internal German
steamers seized by Portugal.

CATION appeared asking that some 9TH

on the ground that his location was
against him, that the places should be
more equally divided over the district,
and that he h.d no children going to
school In the district this year. The
friends OF Mr.. Hunt contended that To-
cation was immaterial, that he was
eminently fitted to fill the place, and
that the only reason he had no chill
dren in school this year was because
his son had reached a point where he
needed a high school education. No
personal charges of any kind, either
in regard to integrity or ability, were
made against Mr.. Hunt The board

REPUBLICANS MEET
AGAIN MARCH II
State Committee Meeting Which Call
ed the Convention Irregular-Twin
Falls Feels Safe, but Is Watching.

BOISE.-Chairma Evans of the Re-
publican state central committee has
called a meeting in Boise on Satur-
day, March IL at 10 o'clock a. m. at
the Owyhee hotel TO consider the time
and place of holding the state con-
vention to select delegates from each
county for the national convention.
The apportionment of delegates from
each county and the manner of their
selection will be determined. In his
letter to John Evans, the Ada county
committeeman. the chairman stated
that after looking into the legality of
the meeting held in Boise on Febru
airy 10 he was satisfied that the call
was illegal This conclusion he bas-
ed on the fact that no call was issued
for the meeting of February IL and
that some of those present did not
have proper credentials. He urged
every member of the committee to at
tend in person or by proxy at the
meeting of March IL.
In his letter to w. p Guthrie, the
Twin Falls committeeman, Chairman
Evans said that II was his judg-
ment that the new meeting would not
interfere with action of the irregu-
ldr iutttiHg III CdiliHB tuc COnf

however, will take nothing for grant

PROPOSED LIGHT
PLANT DESCRIBED
Engineer Burkett Explains More
Fully Details of Proposed Dam
WOULD HAVE CONCRETE CORE
AND ROCK FILLED BANKS.
Power Enough Could be Obtained to
Furnish 500 Clusters Such as Now
Light City Park.

That eliminating all considerations
of its value as a generator of electical
power, a rock fill dam with cement
concrete core such as was proposed by
the Twin Falls Commercial club di-
rectors at their meeting Friday after
noon would be preferable to either a
steel bridge or simple rock fill dam
without such core; that the creation of
a lake at least 40 feet In depth and
mile long would be of the greatest
value to the city as a means OF estab-
fishing q park which could be used for
the behefit of everybody, including
those whose means do not permit them
10 take trips to the beauty spots To-
Gated some miles from the city, and
that it would prove an asset in many
other ways, is the opinion of j. M.
Burkett of this city, the civil engineer
who collected the data upon which the
recommendations of the club were
made Mr. Burkett points out that
practically the entire amount of money
paid for steel structure would be
sent out of the country, while practl-
cally all of the money expended on the
sort here recommended would be paid
out here, mostly to workmen who re-
side in this city and spend their money
mere. A steel bridge he declares would
at conservative estimate, cost from
so to IS per cent as much as the sort
of structure recommended by the club,
would depreciate steadily and would
be In constant need of repairs. In 20
years it would have to be replaced,
while the other would last forever. The
value of the resulting lake filled con-
tinually with fresh water from Rock
Creek and furnishing a resort on
which boats could be kept and in
which fish could be propagated is in
the opinion OF Mr.. Burkett, one of the
attractive features.
Relative to the stream as a source Of
power, Mr.. Burkett says that he has
not made accurate measurements, but
that at a minimum, the power would
be enough to furnish 500 clusters, such
