HANSEN BRIDGE BONDS WILL
Be CARRIED SAYS COMMITTEE

Every movement to facilitate COM
munication throughout the valley, to
render all its parts accessible, is the
business of every land owner in the
greater Twin Falls country.
By this bridge traffic will avoid the
grades at Shoshone falls and the sand
which blocks the road from some
miles above the falls. The bridge will
be Immediately north of Hansen, will
be from rim to rim, the canyon drop
ping sheer from the level. There will
be no sharp pull to limit the size of the
cross country load.
There has been thorough investiga-
ton as to the type of bridge to be
built Specifications have been pre-
pared and have been approved by the
engineers of the Missouri Valley
Bridge e Iron company, one of the
largest bridge companies in the Unit
ed States. This company guarantees
that the bridge can be built for $780,,

It is proposed to erect a suspension
bridge for which plans have been pre-
pared and have been approved by the
engineers of the Missouri Valley
Bridge e Iron company. This is one
of the largest bridge companies in the
United States, such bridges as the
Hansen bridge being in the ordinary
routine of its business, and it guaran-
tees that the bridge can be built for
$6000O.00. The specifications for this
bridge and for the steel bridges across
our main canals provide for the same
load capacity per foot and the bridges
will carry any traffic that will have
occasion to use them.

sides this it is pointed out that we
are morally bound to support this
bridge.
The first step taken by our county
toward the construction of the Hansen
bridge was made September IA, 1914.
when Commissioners Taylor, Zuck and
Carlson passed a resolution favoring
the undertaking if satisfactory ar
rangements could be made with the
state of Idaho, and Lincoln and Mini
doka counties for financial assistance.
In September, 1915, there was pre-
scented to the commissioners of Twin
Falls county a petition signed by five
hundred taxpayers of the county and
by owners of sixty-five per cent of the
area of Hillsdale highway district,
praying for the construction of the
bridge. And our commissioners then
passed a resolution to the effect that
they favored the construction of the
bridge as soon as possible, and to that
end resolved that they would make
the necessary levy or call for a bond
election to meet that portion of the
cost of the bridge which should be
properly paid by Twin Falls county,
same to be done as soon as the people
of MinidOka county, acting through
Hillsdale district, should make the
necessary arrangements to meet the
share of the cost which should be as
sessed against the Hillsdale district.
Upon their faith in that resolution
the people of the Miner segregation,
included in the Hillsdale highway dis

bridge and for the steel bridges cross
ing our main canals provide for the
same load capacity and the bridge
will carry any traffic which will have
occasion to use it.
In September, 1915, our commission
ers, on petition of hundreds of tax
payers from both sides of the river,
resolved that they would call for a
bond election to meet our county's
share of the cost of the Hansen bridge,

Every person voting in Twin Falls
county at the general election, Novem-

bond ballot and will be entitled to
vote it.
There will be two special ballots
handed to each voter. The statutory
methods provided for marking the two
ballots are entirely different To

printed on white paper, three inches

on bond issue for roads and bridges
and determined to include this in the
issue, but found that under the rul-
ing of the supreme court, the Bull In
dependent highway district would be
taxed for the bonds in the proceeds
of which it could not share While it
is the belief that the west end will
not object to voting the Hansen bridge
bonds, to which the honor of the coun-
ty is pledged, it was thought but ma
tural that the citizens within the dis
trict would naturally object to voting
large amount of bonds for general
improvement in which they could not
share. Hence, after deliberation it
was determined TO submit the Hansen
bridge bonds alone The following
statement of the arguments for the
bridge is being circulated by the COM
mittee:
The greatest single opportunity now
presenting itself to Twin Falls is to
seize the trade of the Miner segrega-
ton
There are 10000 acres with the
same water right, the same soil the
same people and practically the same
development as the south side. The
average citizen of Twin Falls has had
no occasion to visit this country and
has no conception of its possibilities
for trade. Twin Falls is the only large
town to which they have access and
they ask our help to bridge the river
The bridge will simply cinch this tri-
butary territory.

.ARITY SOLICITORS VIOLATE
THE CITY ORDINANCES

Y
1t looks sometimes to the business
citizens of Twin Falls as if every
agent soliciting money for any fun
whatsoever, and coming from Other
states even, hits our city sooner or lat
er. For years they have been COM
ing, unrestricted in their movements.
There is, and has been for a year, a
city ordinance that all outside solicit
tors must have a permit from the city
o'orS before they can canvas for
funds
1t is obvious that there are those
who are paying no heed to this. An
impudent fellow claiming to be sent
out by the Salvation Army from Poca
tello, has just spent some twelve days
in the city, making a house to house
canvas. When asked to show his ere
dentials from his captain, and his city
permit to solicit, his answer was that
he did not have to show either, as he
had solicited in this city before and
expected to again, and he did not have
to show any permit either.
A woman from a Zion society in
Ventura, California, gathering money
to help the Jews to colonize in Pales-
tine, was also making a house to house
canvas last week. When refused con-
tributions in at least two homes, she
became very angry and said it was
easy to tell who were Christians in
this town and who were not.
Whether these solicitors have per-
mits or not, it is certainly a matter of
good citizenship to stop this miscel-
J laneous giving. or at least to demand
their credentials. Within two years a
man dressed in a Salvation Army suit,
gathered hundreds of dollars and bales
of bedding, and clothing in this city,
and was found upon correspondent
Z to have no connection with Pooa+ollo
Boise or Salt Lake armies. We have

to realize these canal projects has been
responsible for her anomalous posi-
tion in the world carrying trade.
Although some 200 to 500 miles near

thousand miles nearer the extreme
Oriental markets than Antwerp or
Hamburg, the French port of Mar
seilles before the war was surpassed
by those Belgian and German ports in
central European trade to the Orient,
while Bordeaux, Havre and other
French Atlantic ports were far behind

that foreign firms will take advantage

The immediate reason for the new
law is that Italy has been suffering
severely during the war because Of
high ocean freight rates on grain. coal

However, Italy has been actively in
Icreasing her merchant marine for the
past dozen years and she intends to
continue that policy after the war. Be
fore the war she was spending $S,000.-

The new necessities created by the

SEA NO BARRIER,

Pacifcists claim that this nation is
so well guarded by nature that an

impossible. These people believe that
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans are
sufficient barriers against invaders.
But experts on the matter Of sea
transportation view the matter differ
emily. Figures show that the great
ocean going vessels of today have rem
dered the seas practically useless as a
defense against foe. Huge armies
could be landed on American soil be-
fore this country's $4,000 mobile
troops could be collected at any point
to meet them.
