didatcs has now attracted statewide
attention and every fact regarding il
is grasped at avidly by members OF
all parties and it has been the generaI
impression that George Sanford was
one OF those who stood behind the
present election law as passed by the
last legislature. the Appeal this morn
ing sought Governor Boyle and ask
ed him if Sanford was not OF the
number who urged the signing OF
the measure when it came to him for
signature.
In reply the governor stated
that Mr.. Sanford was one OF many
who called on him at his office after
the passage of the bill and urged that
it be signed. Governor Boyle fur
ther stated that in a conversation
with Judge Norcross at Reno last
evening the judge interrogated him
concerning Saniord's participation in
the bill and he told him substantially
What he stated to the Appeal.
Thus the merry fight goes on.

mile long. With such body of water
so stored parking, fishing and all wa
ter sports could be INDUCED in.
"In the building of the embankment
of course the main object to be OBJ
tanned will be the establishment of a
permanent highway across Rock creek
with the expenditure of not a great
deal in excess of the money necessary
to construct and maintain a steel
bridge
"One point in favor of an earthen
embanNment at the location indicated
which should not be overlooked when
computing the costs of the embank-
ment and the relative cost of steel
structure, is the fact that all the
money spent for bridge will go east
while the greater part of the money
spent in building an embankment will
be spent at home and remain there.
AS this seems to be a Twin Falls slo-
gan it should count considerable in
favor of the embankment.
1.-THE estimates made were all on the
theory of approximately a 40-foot
stand of water in the reservoir. Should
the minimum flow prove less than
estimated, or should the flow be the
same and more power be required it
would be possible to greatly increase
the efficiency of the flow by raising
the depth of the water stand to a max
imum of IS feet There is no doubt
in my mind about the power being
sufficient to furnish light for the city
for an indefinite period, but l am not
prepared to say that there would be
enough to furnish this city CONNER
cially and would not recommend that
such attempt be made
1.-THE exposed side of the dam would
be erected at three to one slope and
would be constructed of select mater
ial with view Of preventing water
ever reaching the concrete core.
Should it reach such core and soak
through it, however, provision will be
made for it to pass through the coarse
material located behind the concrete
without injuring the stability of the
structure The slope on the lower
side of the embankment should be two
to one In order to provide for the
extra water which might result from
freshet, a spillway would have to be
erected, the rock from which would be
used for rip rap on both sides of the
embankment The structure recon-
mended would provide for a roadway
40 feet wide and on the level with
the grade in front of the Ostrander
Lumber company place of business
while the steel bridge contemplated
would provide only for a roadway "a
feet wide which is not large enough
for the traffic crossing that bridge or
which will cross 1t in the near future
Moreover, while it would probably
never be necessary, the rock filled
bridge with concrete core could be
made wider at comparatively small
cost"

NEW THEORY OF EVOLUTION
Points Evolved by Author May Give
Rise to Some Most interesting
Hypotheses.

In book entitled The Natural The.
oiogy of Evolution" ]. N. Shearmap
pointed out that nothing in the Dsl-
winian theory precludes design it
only requires the supposition thai the
designing mind works slowly Xrough
many ages. AS to those variations
which have turned out failures-the
flying reptiles and other extinct crea-
lures of early periods-the author
makes the suggestion that the direc-
ton of varieties may to some extent Be
deputed by God to angels, in the same
way as free will and power is granted
to man; and that these failures are the
experiments of the angel-subordinates
But" writes the editor of Nature
in recommending the book TO scientific
readers, the author is not in the least
crank, and he puts forward this fresh
and interesting hypothesis (Which
some would call fantastic) as a specu
lation only. His main point is that
though the Darwinian natural selection
is true cause of change in species,
the variations which tend to progress
toward greater complexity cannot be
attributed to chance. They are evil
dence of guiding mind which sees
and knows before 1t producesSQn the
rial plane"
Science has ceased to sneer afrSae
spiritual. and many of the deepest
thinkers OF today are turning to the
supernatural" for explanations of phe
nomena they cannot understand.
