DRAW BIG CROWDS
AT IDAHO FALLS
Tabernacle Meetings Held in Large
Temporary Building. Excellent
Choir. Much Interest Shown.

The big tabernacle erected by nearly
80 volunteer workers in one day en-
the lot in the rear of the Methodist
church is well filled at all of the ses-
sions presided over by DR.. Taylor,
who conducts the meetings.
Interest in the meetings has in
creased from the first, and on last
Sunday evening there were almost, by
actual count, thousand people in the
building.
Dr. Taylor, who is conducting the
meetings is we'll pleased with the in
terest shown and his co-workers pre-
dict that by the end of the month
the big building will not be able to
hold the people who will desire to
attend He is assisted by his wife and
son as musical directors and the big
choir is doing excellent work
Several churches of the city have
united in this work and the campaign
being conducted is for the good of all,
and it is hoped and expected that be-
fore the meetings close the good
which is being done will become so
widespread that the interest will in
clude all within the city.-Idaho Falls

BONDHOLDERS REPRESENTATIVE
SAYS $4,000 PROPER ACREAGE
Manager of the Company Tells Land
Board Question Of Reimbursing En-
trymen is Sticking Point.

G. M. Hall, representing the bond
holders of the Twin Falls Salmon
River project and o. o. Haga, coun-
sci, appeared before the state land
board Friday and renewed a former
request that the board have the state
engineer inspect the project, and, if
the construction work met with the
boards requirements, that it approve
and accept as much of it as has
been completed. The state engineer
was ordered to make the report.
According to Mr.. Hall, 1t is rather
a difficult matter to determine Just
how much of the project should be
cut down.
at is hard matter to determine
what shall be done with water rights
on a project that has been reduced
in acreage" said Mr.. Hall Mr.
Edwards, who made an investigation
Of conditions for the bondholders,
thought the project should be cut
down to forty-five thousand acres,
Should this be done, it will mean a
loss both to the settlers and bondhold-
ers, but in just what way the settle
ment can be effected is a matter con-
fronting all who are interested in the
project"

JEROME DRY AND
EVERYBODY HAPPY
North Side Town Sends Surplus Booze
to Jarbidge, via Twin Falls. Jerome
Pleased With New Order.

So far as the liquor traffic is con-
cerned every day is like election day
in Jerome now, reports the News, of
Jerome.
For a number or weeks the mana
gers of both bars had been making
provision for the closing. There was
the usual crowd about the streets on
New Years eve, no more than would
ordinarily be the case on such an
occasion. The town council had au-
thorized the employment of an ad-
ditional officer, apprehending that
there might be an attempt made to
have an hilarious time and a trough
house" at the closing. But nothing of
the kind developed. The officers mad
nothing to do and there was no I'M
seemly demonstration.
One Of the bars wound up with a
considerable stock of liquors on hand.
These we're shipped out before the
closing hour, some by rail to Salt Lake
City and some by wagon to Nevada.
That which went to Nevada went out
in four-horse teams by way Of Twin
Falls. The sheriff of that county even
threatened to confiscate these ship
ments, but when it came to the test
he did not do so but allowed the con-
signment to go through without moles-
tation.
Those lately engaged in the liquor
business in Jerome express them
selves as glad that they are out of it,
and admit that one experience is
enough for them. All are substantial
citizens and men of family and real
ize that there is an odium attached to
the business that is not pleasant for
| them

MARKETS STILL SOARING

That the stock markets opened with
a continuing upward tendency is this
week shown by the following extracts
from the Portland Live Stock RepOr-
ter:
Sheep market is on the upward
trend in all classes. Everything
shows good and strong. Compared
with other points the market here is
away ahead of anything quoted any
where else. Eastern prices are not
so attractive and a better movement
should start this way. The prices now
being quoted for lambs are fully so
cents over prices a week ago. Cattle
supply is barely up to an average and
as compared with a year ago is show
ing up at the beginning of the new
year short The shortage however,
is but temporary and will no doubt
catch up before the end of the month
or as soon as this year gets its gait.
The exceptionally strong price should
begin to bring cattle in with a little
more freedom.
The bulk of the hog market today
was at 1888, an advance in bulk
price over Monday of fully Is cents.
Hogs have not shown up exception
ally large in receipts. Since Monday
the supply has been only moderate.
Prices have, however, been excellent
The week started out strongly, estib-
fishing itself at the $3.50 level, Tues
day going to $3.50 on a bunch of well
finished stuff Wednesday 1888 was
the top, which remains today. Mining
reports indicate an upward tendency
in the price of copper. The daily Min

MEDDLlNG WITH
FOREIGN AFFAIRS
Unfortunate That Congress Meets
at This Time Says One Senator
WILLIAMS TELLS SENATOR'S TO
LET WILSON ALONE
Diplomatic Affairs Have Been Wisely
Handled by Present Administration
Southern Senator Declares.

WASHINGTON-M Mexico furnished
the vehicle Thursday for another dis
cussion of foreign relations on the
floor of the senate. 1t preceded the
adoption without opposition of res
olution offered by Senator Fall call
ing on President Wilson for all avail
able information bearing on the rec
ognition of the Carranza government
by the United States
Senators Fall and Lodge spoke in
favor of the resolution, insisting that
the president should inform congress
fully concerning the situation before
the naming of an ambassador to Mex
leo was confirmed.
Senator Williams diverted attention
from Mexico in the course of the de-
bate by commenting at length upon
questions arising from the war. He
said an embargo on exports of NUM-
tons would "hamstring" the United
States more than any other first class
power
Senator Borah wanted to know
whether the Mississippi senator
thought that after the war some Eu-
ropean government would attack the
United States out of pure spirit of
conquest.
81 am not anticipating an attack in
the first place." Senator Williams re-
piled. 81 am anticipating bullying
first and l am anticipating the fact
that the American people will not
consent to be bullied."
He declared there would be plenty
to quarrel about, referring to repeat
ed torpedoing of unarmed merchant
ships by one nation and by the ally of
that nation after the questions in
volved apparently had been settled by
diplomacy.
"They are in the field of diplomacy
now and the president of the United
States has wisely attempted to keep
them within the field of diplomacy"
he added 81 am sorry for one that
congress had to meet right now l
think the management of our diplo-
matte affairs would have been more
wisely handled by man more widely
visioned and deep visioned and tender
visioned. He has all three of them.
They are apt to be mismanaged when
they are made a game of battledore
and shuttlecock on the floor of these
two houses. even when l am one who
plays the game"

WORKINGS OF THE FARM LOAN ACT
EXPLAINED BY SENATOR FLETCHER.

Senator D. L. Fletcher recently
explained the workings Of the Farm
Loan Act. Since there Is not a man
in the United States more familiar
with the provisions Of this act than
Senator Flet"ner. we feel quite sure
that many II our readers will want
to read what he said, which is as fol-
