TWIN FALLSBOYS
ARE CHAMPIONS
Fastest football Game of Season
Is Victory Over BuhI
BALL Is KEPT IN BUHL TERRI
TORY MOST OF THE TIME.
HoIderman and McCracken Make
TOuchdewns- Harding for BuhI
Stars in Line Bucks and End Runs.

In the fastest football game of the
season on the local grounds Friday
afternoon Twin Falls high school cap
tured the championship of this terri
tory and won a decisive victory over
Buhl by a score of IA to 0.
Ideal weather, perfect grounds and
clean playing, together with teams
which were in the best of condition
combined to make the contest mem
orable one in athletic annals, and
Buhl, though defeated played game
which warranted the admiration and
respect of the victors.
The first quarter was closely con-
tested, the ball being on neutral terri
tory in the first few moments of play.
Buhl attempted a pass early in the
game, but Holler, full back for the
local team, intercepted it, and made
a big gain. Fix intercepted another
and the ball was recovered by Day be-
fore it touched ground Neither team
scored in this quarter, although both
were within a few yards of their op-
pOnent's goal.
During the second quarter Twin
Falls had the upper hand, and kept
the pigskin on Buhl territory. Neu-
man made good yardage on an end run
and Dewitt made several line plunges
for over five yards. Captain Scott al
center did great work when it came
to tackling. Smithwick of Bull play
ed good game on defensive in this
quarter. In the last minute of play
of the first half, Holderman made q
touchdown on an end run. NeumaI
kicked goal.
In the third quarter Twin Falls
again outplayed the West end boys
Holderman caught a pass for goot
gain, and Day and Neuman intercept
ed two more passes for slight gains
Holler made some smashing line buck.
which brought the ball close to Buhl'i
goal more than once, but the loca
boys were held for downs and Buh
punted for safety. Harding of Buh
starred for the Westenders in lin,
bucks and end runs, but he couldn'
break through Twin Falls line of de
Tense for large gains. After beinf
forced to punt a fourth time in tina
quarter, Buhl was much weakened
McCracken carried the pigskin across
the line on an end run. Holdermar
kicked goal With the score at IA tC
0, the quarter ended a minute later.
The Bull boys came back stronger
in the last quarter but the ball stayed
in their territory most of the time, il
spite of the fact. The local boys tried
a place kick, but were unsuccessful il
their attempt. Fix did his duty by spill
ing the Buhl interference at every op-
portunity. The entire line held theil
opponents better than ever before, anC
were rewarded by decisive victory.

GREGG FOUND GUILTY
OF BURGLARY BY JURY
Charged With Having Broken Into
House of r. IL. Lee in Sh0shOne
Basin and Stolen Goods.

r. e. Gregg was found guilty Of
burglary in the second degree Saturday
on the charge of having broken into a
shack belonging to R. H. Lee and
stealing therefrom numerous articles
of wearing apparel belonging to him
and to his housekeeper, Mrs. Sarah
Hopper, about June |.
Lee and Mrs. Hopper left their
ranch May 28 for a farm near Bull,
returning June 7. They found the
house broken into and contents gone.
Suspecting Gregg, a search warrant
was sworn out and an examination
made of his premises near Hollister,
to which he had moved a few days be-
fore from the neighborhood of the Lee
place. Numerous articles, which were
produced in evidence were identified
by Lee, and a warrant was issued for
the arrest of Gregg, who has been in
jail ever since. Gregg claimed that he
had either bought the articles or re-
ceived them from relatives in Oregon.
Shortly after Gregg was locked up a
complaint against him was filed charg-
ing him with burglarously entering the
barn of l. Fuller near Twin Falls and
stealing a set of harness, and later a
complaint was sworn to charging him
with the theft of a plow from ]. NJ
Steelsmith. near Kimberly. No dispo-
sition has been made of these cases.

INSPECTOR MURRAY
FEARS CATACLYSM
Repetition of Old NOah'S Rainy
Season FOreShadOwed
FATE OF POMPEH ANOTHER Al,
TENTATIVE FOR LEGISLATION
City Council Hastens to Avert Trouble
BY Providing for Amendment of the
Plumbing Ordinance Last Night.

The plumbing contractor very often
lets the owner hire his own labor to
do digging of sewer trench. This prac-
tice, because the men thus hired are
not skilled in this line of work. re-
suits in irregularity of sides and bot
tom of the trench, which would make
the Snake river shed tears of envy and
the Sawtooths gnash their teeth with
rage. Evidently fearing the dire con-
sequences thus threatened, the city
council last night ordered City At
torney HerriOtt to draft an ordinance
embodying the recommendation of the
report of Plumbing Inspector Muir
ray, from whose report the above quo
tation is taken, that whenever an ap-
plication is made to have a private
sewer connected with the main trunk
line, that a deposit be made by the
applicant to the city to cover the cost
of such private drain extending from
the main sewer to point three or four
feet inside. the lot line, and that the
material and labor shall be furnished
by the city" There were other argu-
ments submitted in the report but
the substance of them all were COM
prised in the eliminating paragraph
in which a deluge of unpurified water
and the eruption of an angry mountain
were foreshadowed.
The council passed the building or
dinance, requiring all desiring to erect
any structure or to make any altera-
tion within the city limits at a cost
of not less than $3.50, to get a permit,
costing one dollar from the city clerk,
filing at the same time a statement
OF the probable cost of such structure,
passed the ordinance making con-
structor's water charge of a dollar
for any building costing between $3.50
and $1,000, fixing a rate of a dollar a
thousand on every extra thousand dol
lars cost and placing a charge of three
cents per cubic yards on all cement
walks and the like.
Matters of minor Importance were
the referring to City Attorney Herriott
of a request by w. w. Micklewait for
the shifting of telephone pole near
his garage; the granting of a request
by Y. H. Decker for the changing of
the position of his clock on the side
walk, the granting of the right to put
in an air box for autos in front of the
| Vulcanizing works and the granting
of the right to Reynolds brothers to
temporarily move a frame building
within the fire limits erecting their
new store building.
A bill was presented by W. F. Speer,
who asserted that as the result of the
filling of ditch, water had been back
ed into his tent, running ten dollars
worth of clothing and into his garden
running ten dollars worth of truck. The
matter was referred for ivestigation
Mrs. c. F. Green presented a claim for
$3.50 which she claimed as the actual
expense to which she had been put
/ by the injury of her foot on a side
walk, August 6, 1915. The matter was
referred to the city attorney for in
vestigation and report

LOYELACE BOYS MAY BE
SENT TO ST. ANTHONY.

Prosecuting Attorney Davies
has been very busy since the
Lovelace boys were released,
so that no proceedings have
been started, but / hope that
they will be as soon as he has
leisure" said Probation Officer
V. II. Ormsby this morning.
"The people generally want
something done, he continu-
ed, "and l have been informed
by one of the jurors that ac-
quilted them, that they believe
that steps could be taken to
send them away, without con-
victing them in the district
court. He said that the jurors
all believed that they should
be sent away to some place of
education and detention. This
seems to be the opinion of
everybody"
Judge Davies told TIMES
reporter Friday& that he pre-
sumed that he would take steps
to have the boys sent to the
industrial school. He thought
that the jury acting in accord
ance with instructions of Judge
Babcock might have found them
guilty of involuntary man
slaughter, in which case they
have been paroled and sent to
st. Anthony, but since they
did not do so, he thought he
would probably take steps in
the probate court.

RESTRAINING ORDER
ASKED BY COMPANY
Salmon River Company Declares That
II. c. Hanson is Party to Caldwell
Suit and is EstOpped.

AS defendant in the case of A. E.
Caldwell, ct al, the Twin Falls-Sal-
mon River Land & Water company
has filed a petition in the federal dis
trict court for the purpose of restrain
ing H. c. Hanson and his attorney,
James H. Wise, from proceeding with
the action brought in the state court
by Hanson for the recovery of $36, ,524.-
IS claimed as due to Hanson from the
company and from a number of others
alleged to have been identified with
the sale of Salmon River land to the
defendant, who claims that he pur-
chased as a result of misrepresenta-
tion, and suffered loss in the sum
claimed. The company asserts that it
is defendant in the action brought by
Caldwell and others, and now pending
on appeal in the circuit court of the
United States, that such suit was
brought in behalf of Caldwell and
others specifically named and also. of
all other settlers similarly situated
that this last clause includes Hanson,
that substantially the same issues are
involved in the case now pending in
the circuit court that are involved in
the Hanson suit, and that should he
win, and the plaintiff secure in the
federal court, Hanson would have a
double rem ,dy
Hanson in an answer to the petition
for restraining order, denies that the
judgment secured in the federal dis
trict court by Caldwell, ct al, is bind
ing OH him, and alleges that he never
connected himself with the litigation
either by coming into the suit or seek
ing to share in the fruits thereof, OF
by acquiescence; that he has at all
times publicly and openly refused tc
connect himself with the litigation

judgment, or in any manner acquiesc-
ing in the litigation.

IDAHO EXPERIMENTS
SHOW BEST BEET SEED
United States VIII Eventually Be Ex-
porter of This Product Says Noted
Dealer.

Thomas R. Cutler, manager of the
Utah-Idaho Sugar company, returning
from visit to Colorado, where he
went to consult with the other off
GERS of the United States Beet Seed
company, reports that as a general
thing, the beet experiments in Idaho
were more satisfactory than those
conducted in any other sections and
believe that in time the United States
will be an exporter instead of an i'm
porter of beet seed.
The three companies in Utah and
Idaho have paid for approximately 60
per cent of their entire crop, all de-
liveries up to October 81 being settled
for November IS by the offices in Salt
Lake, Ogden and Layton.
The Utah-Idaho will pay the beet
farmers close to $2,000,OOO, the Anal
gamated Sugar $1,350,000, the Layton
Sugar company approximately 5000, 900
total of about $3,500,000, which
reaches the pockets of the beet fam
ers at the period of the year when its
arrival is the most welcome.

BRUNEAU TRACT IS
AGAIN CONSIDERED
Propositions to Have UnCle Sam
Handle its irrigation
SUGGESTION THAT PART OF THE
SNAKE WATER GO TO SALMON.
Bruneau Tract Has Half Million Acres
of Fine Land-Said RunOff Would
Water 1t.

Il am glad to notice that Congress-
man Addison T. Smith has mentioned
the Bruneau proposition in connection
with other irrigation projects to which
government assistance might profit
ably be extended" said James McMil-
Ian, secretary of the Twin Falls Com
mercial club Friday, "as l believe that
with government aid this could be
made one of the greatest assets for the
state of Idaho.
"The Bruneau tract has approx
mately half a million acres in it, or
about as much as the Twin Falls South
Side and Twin Falls Northside tracts
combined. The company which made
the surveys is now practically out of
it, and the government could easily
take it over, pay for the survey work
done and for the cost of gathering
data and manage the whole as a gov
ernment project. l am convinced that
water enough could be conserved at
American Falls to water the whole
tract and in addition, with the aid of
two lifts at the butte, enough water
could be diverted to irrigate 10000
acres on the Salmon tract which viii
otherwise have to be abandoned. This,
| ! believe, can be done and still allow
all the water contracted for or requiF~
ed on other tracts that are irrigated
from the Snake river. There would be
no conflict between the towns that
might grow up on the Bruneau and
Twin Falls or other cities on the Twin
Falls tract, but, on the contrary, the
growth of this tract would help all
Idaho and we would get our share Of
the people who would come here to
settle. 1t is big proposition and
think should be pushed.
"The present administration has, as
yet, added nothing to the lands re-
claimed in the way of starting new
projects, and its cooperation in this
case might naturally be expected mas
much as it could claim credit for be-
ginning so large a project. The power
that could be generated in connection
with such a project would, in itself,
be immense and profitable. / believe
that everyone should get in behind
Congressman Smith and help him push
any feasible plan to reclaim the vast
Bruneau tract"

DECAYED VEGETATION
BLAMED FOR TASTE
Engineer Thinks Water Gets Flavor
From Ditches-Will Be Cured Under
Proper System.

That decayed vegetation in the
bitches is largely responsible for taste
complained of by water users is the
opinion of Louis c. Kelsey, expert en-
sgineer, who is here supervising the
. survey for pure water supply for
\he city. He believes that when a new
supply has been secured and methods
adopted for its purification this taste
will disappear. Mr. Kelsey will finish
the compilation of data for the new
system before taking up the problems
involved in its distribution in the city.
He says that the pipes in the old sys-
tenn in the city are about at the end
OF their usefulness and that unless
steps should be taken promptly to re-
place them the city will have no sys-
tenn in three years The new pipes
will be laid in the alleys. Every pos
sible source of supply will be survey
ed and data furnished in regard to all
OF them, in order that the city may
have intelligent information on which
to proceed. Surveys to Blue Lakes,
have. already been made by City En-
gineer ]. A. Bybee and crew and the
survey to Miner is under way. The
report will be prepared and presented
by Mr.. Kelsey on or about February
/, the date in which he agreed to fur
nish it.
