aMove Up There"

Sandy boarded a somewhat crowded
tramcar and had to stand. The car
started on its way once again, and q
little later pulled up to permit an
other passenger to get on. The con-
ductor told Sandy to move up a bit,
which Sandy, always eager to oblige.
did. Some few minutes later there
was a grinding of brakes, and once
more the car stopped. This time an
old lady OF seventy stepped on. Sandy
was again required to move up.
Sandy thereupon moved up.
At the next stopping place there was
another halt. Two children boarded
the car, and the request for Sandy to
move up was repeated.
A little farther on Sandy reached his
destination, and prepared to leave the
car. He got as far as the step. when
the conductor gripped him by the arm
and pulled him back.
Fare please!" he cried.
Fare be blowed!" exclaimed Sandy.
'Why, mon alive, I've been walking
all the way!"

COMMERCIAL CLUB
HOLDS A MEETING
Endorses Plan for Mining Sta
tiOn al Moscow
PRESIDENT H. A. BRANNON OF
UNIVERSITY REQUESTS ACTION.
Club to Send Representative to Meet
ing FavOring Submitting Railroad
Dispute to Commission.

A special meeting of the Twin Falls
Commercial club directors was called
Tuesday afternoon for the purpose of
passing resolutions recommending that
the new mining station about to be
put in by the United States be located
at the state university at Moscow;
and to respond to a request from the
National Chamber of Commerce that a
representative be sent, if necessary, to
serve on a committee to wait on con-
gress to urge that the threatened
trainmen strike be referred to the in
terstate commerce commission for ad-
justment.
Dr. NJ A. Brannon, president of the
state university, telegraphed that a
government expert was now in the
northwest looking over a location for
the mining station and urged that the
cooperation of all the commercial
bodies of the state be secured in favor
of having it placed in Idaho. Strong
resolutions were passed.
The action requested by the national
organization of the chamber of COM
merce was taken. The meeting has
not been definitely decided on, but if
it is, either W. H. Eldridge or c. E.
Booth, who are east, or W. R. Priebe,
who goes east in a short time, will be
delegated to attend. In the letter the
officials of the national chamber said
that congress did not seem to regard
the situation as grave and that pres
sure should be brought to bear upon
them.
The administration at Washington is
reported to be in favor of submitting
the matter to the board of arbitration
and conciliation, while the railroads
are said to oppose this course on the
ground that if the demand of the men
are to be met, assurance must be Civ
en- that the roads will be allowed to
raise their rates. In a recent speech
Senator LaFollette charged the roads
with sinister motives, claiming that
they were making enough to stand the
increase in wages and that it should
be made and that improper force
might be brought on the commission to
grant an increase not needed.

DENIES CHLORINE COULD HURT
GRASS OR INJURE WATER USERS

Water Superintendent Porter says
that number Of people have the inn
preston that chlorine is injurious to
grass. He says that inasmuch as the
gas disappears from water within an
hour after its introduction. it cannot
possibly injure grass, and that it can
not hurt human beings through the
water. A prominent physician inter
viewed by a TIMES reported, said
that chlorine as used in publication
of water could not hurt people, but
would kill certain bad germs. notably
typhoid and diarrhea germs.

in fact it improves his looks. He

Giving the high cost of print paper
as a reason for their action, magazines
are beginning to cut down the number
of copies to the very margin of con-
sumption. In some cases, they refuse
to accept returned copies from the
dealers, and where the number of a
particular magazine sold is small, it is
sometimes stricken off the list Last
week no copies of the Nation arrived
in Twin Falls, and an inquiry from one
of the dealers to the Salt Lake City

INDIANAPOLIS-That the Progress
sive party will not have a national
ticket in the field this year is practi-
cally settled. The delegates in attend
ance at the national conference here
were at variance on this point until
late this afternoon, when it was seen
that to have a third ticket would be
impracticable.
After adopting a ringing resolution
repudiating the action of the national
committee in indorsing Charles E.
Hughes, the members in attendance
began the work of mapping out the
destiny of their party.

REJECT HUGHES!
is MOOSE CALL
CONDEMN ENDORSEMENT.

To the Progressives of the
Country:
At a national conference of
the party held today in the city
of Indianapolis, attended by
representatives of thirty-seven
states, a resolution was unani-
mously adopted condemning the
action of the Progressive ma
tiOnal committee on June 26 as
an illegal usurpation of author
ity not conferred upon it by the
recent convention of the party,
denouncing it's action as a
breach of trust and repudiating
the same in every respect as
non-expressive of the party's
thought or wishes.
Men whom we have delighted
to honor and men we delight to
follow have not only abandoned
the party's cause, but have
sought to sacrifice its future
and to compromise the dignity
of its individual membership by
a collusive undertaking with the
Republican party to deliver our
party strength to the Republi-
can presidential ticket.
The course of the national
committee has been emphatical-
ly repudiated in every state
where there has been free dis
cussion and action.
This conference is the culmi-
mating protest of the party
against the reasonable attempt
to put it out of existence as a
national party and to deliver its
vote to the Republican party
