COMPLAINT AGAINST
BOYS IS HELD UP
Officers Trying To Find Rel
itiveS Before Acting
EFFORTS TO GET THEM INTO
STATE SCHOOL WOULD FAIL.
Statutes VIII Not Permit the Sending
to School and Managers Would Re-
fuse Them Admittance.

No complaint has been filed so far
against Harold and Lynn Lovace as a
result of the finding of the coroner's
jury Monday afternoon and the Off
cials and attorneys are endeavoring to
find a way to handle the case under
the Idaho law that will work justice
to them and to the people. So far no
word has been received either from
their mother, their stepfather or
their grandfather. Neither Pennywell
nor his wife have been located The
managers of the state industrial school
popularity but incorrectly called the
reform school, it is understood would
refuse to take the boys, on the ground
that their reception would be an in
justice to the other inmates of the in
stitution. Officials and the attorneys
for the defendant agree, moreover,
that it would be difficult if not impos-
sible, to bring any charge under the
statutes which would permit the send
ing of the boys to the state school,
even if the managers were willing to
receive them.
Some course will be determined on
shortly in the event that relatives
cannot be found.

Both Doubles and Singles Holly
Contested.

With Twin Falls contestants show
ing up in the finals of both single and
double matches of the tennis tourna-
ment held in Twin Falls during the
weekend, the annual contests will
come to an interesting close this
week For four days, fourteen play
ers of recognized ability have been
battling for honors on the local courts
and the finals will end the most sue
cessful and interesting tournaments
yet held in Twin Falls. Men from five
cities, Twin Falls, Oakley, Burley, Po-
catello and Boise, have taken part in

the auspices of the Southern Idaho
Associated Tennis clubs, of which E..

Bronaugh for Twin Falls, has been
one of the bright stars of the meet and
will put in a strong bid for final hon
ors in both the singles and doubles, in
which he has been winner for the

Robinson next Sunday promises to be
the most interesting contest of the en-
tire meet and a swift game is assured
between these two players. The final
games in the doubles will be held this
afternoon between Bronaugh and Nee
for Twin Falls, and Edmunds and
Sanger for Boise, and as the former
team has won two out of the first
three sets played, Twin Falls stands
excellent chances of winning the con-
test.

giles, Robinson and Bailey, and Bro
naugh and MacVicar lasted through to
the semi-finals, Robinson and Bro
naugh qualifying for the finals. These
will be played next Sunday at ten

DISTRICT OP 0NFTRISTS
HAVE SUCCESSFUL MEETING
Only One of the Three Applicants
Passes Examination Held In Twin
Falls Friday.

A new optometry district, number
four, of the state of Idaho, was form
ed at the meeting of the optometrists
of southern Idaho held in Twin Falls
Thursday and Friday. This district
comprises all the territory between
Rupert and Gooding and Haley and
the Nevada line, and was formed for
the purpose of more closely uniting
the practicing optometrists of this dis
trict, thus assuring greater co-opera-
ton.
Three applicants were examined by
the local board consisting of Drs. E.
S. Owen and NJ. B. Fleming, and of
these only James Trimbell, of Buhl,
succeeded in passing the examination,
and receiving authorization to prac-
tice. Officers of the organization elect
ed for the ensuing year were r. A
Parrott, president; Otto Paulson of
Burley, vice president; and c. E. AL
len of Twin Falls, secretary.
Decision was made to hold four
meetings, quarterly, but the place OF
the next meeting was not decided up
on. The meeting was closed with a
banquet at the Rogerson cafe at which
ten of the sixteen practicing optome.
trists of this district were present.

SAY RULING DOES
NOT APPLY ON TRACT
Twin Falls Canal Company Not At
fected by Ruling of Supreme Court
Relative to Drainage Districts.

That the recent decision of the su-
preme court of this state holding that
canal companies in the Boise valley
would be held liable to taxes for
drainage districts created within the
borders of the territory for which they
furnish water, would not apply to con-
ditions on the Twin Falls tract if it
should ever be held necessary to Gre
ate such districts, is the opinion ex-
pressed at the headquarters of the
Twin Falls Canal company. The rea-
sons given are that conditions In
northern Idaho are such that drain
age districts are almost as necessary
in some places there as irrigation dis
tricts are here, and that the canal
companies there are mainly private
corporations who sell water to people
under contract, through bitches owned
by the companies, whereas, here the
people who use the water constitute
the company, which has no separate
capital aside from the interests of the
water users The question is held
hypothetical as applied to this tract,
as there are no drainage districts on

TINES PROSPEROUS
IN EFFETE EAST

There are more men and money in
the east than ever before" said c. E.
Booth on his return this week from a
business trip of a month to New York,
"and the men are trying to get rid of
the money They are spending like
drunken sailors and turning loose
their cash wherever they get any ex-
cuse whatever. / am sorry to say that
l could not think of any excuse for
taking it myself, so l did not get any
or it, but anyone who has an excuse
can get the money. Times are more
prosperous there than ever before"

STATE LEADER CALLS
FOR WAR ON APHIS
Says That Many Yields Are Good and
Decries Alarmists, But Advises
Cleaning Up.

81 do not want to cry wolf and
realize that there is a great deal Of
good clover and some sixteen bushel
yields this year." said H. w. Hoch-
baum of Boise, state leader of county
agricultural agents yesterday, but
want to get people interested in COM
batting the aphis and grasshoppers, for
the situation in some places is really
serious and people must get busy this
fall Poison is effectively thinning
the grasshoppers. County Agent w. N.
Birch now has fourteen machines in
his district and they are doing Won
ders and getting rid of the pests, but
farmers must plough up the head
lands this fall to destroy the breed
ing places of both the grasshoppers
and the aphis. Clean farms do not
generally have much trouble with
either, or with other pests for that
matter"
The state leader is visiting all the
county agents with a view of lining
them up for a statewide campaign. He
says that the talk about aphis not do
ing harm where they appear in large
numbers is nonsense. Honeydew is
disagreeable to handle but can be got
ten rid of by washing, at some ex-
pense, inconvenience and loss of seed
but the seed crop in many cases is ma
terially damaged, and the yield greatly
diminished. Mr.. Hochbaum says that
he believes that the evil will be rem
edied and that the loss has in many
cases been overestimated, but it is still
something serious enough to demand
immediate attention.
