WORK ON WEST[ND
MUST BEGIN SOON
Irrigation Company Will Lose
Rights Unless it Acts
/. B. PERRINE DECLINES TO MAKE
STATEMENT ON THE SUBJECT.
Gives No Details About Railroad But
Intimates That 1t Is GO-H. ).
Green Optimistic.

"At meeting of the state
land board yesterday afternoon, says
the Capital News, "the $4,000 bond
of the West End Twin Falls Irrigation
company, which had charge of the
completion of that project but never
completed 1t, was renewed. III work
on the project has not been started by
July 1 of this year the land board Will
declare the bond forfeited. This is the
project the irrigation drainage code
commission recommended should be
required to forfeit its bond for failure
to comply with the terms of its con-
tract with the state in the completion
of the project"
New life to the company's project
seems assured in the action taken be-
fore the state land board when their
bond for $4,000 was renewed. 1t is
pointed out that the renewal of the
bond presages immediate work on the
project, in that the bond will be for
feited should work not be begun by
July 1.
"The West End company entered
into a contract with the state about
seven years ago for construction of
the project adjoining the Salmon
project west of the Salmon river.
Failure to finance the project made
the completion of construction work
impossible and was the cause of ex-
tensions of time by the statef The
last extension is for six months from
January 1, 1916. 1t was given upon
condition that the written consent OF
such extension hy the bonding com
pany be filed with the state"
l. b. Perrine was asked in regard to
probable work on the West End pro-
ject Saturday as he was making pre-
parations to leave for the east, and
replied that he had nothing to say al
the present time, but intimated that he
might have later, and admitted that
something is being considered relative
to the matter. He declined to make
any further statement in regard to
tleford, referring the TIMES reporter
to H. S. Green of the High Line Seed

RABID COYOTE KILLED
AT ARTESIAN CITY
Animal Dispatched With Six Shots
Two Cows Affected With Hydro
phObia in Fred Walker Herd.

A mad coyote was killed last Sun
day on the streets of Artesian City by
Henry Workman, according to the re-
port brought to Twin Falls by Deputy
Sheriff H. G.. Jackson. 1t took six
shots to finish the animal which ap-
peared on the streets about 2 o'clock
in the afternoon. When Mr.. Workman
first saw the coyote it was walking
toward some children, and though he
fired four times with his rifle, he may
have aimed badly for fear of striking
them. He then mounted horse and
rode past the animal which rushed at
the horse and grabbed it by the tail.
Mr.. Workman then leaned back over
the saddle and fired two shots from
his pistol at the beast, killing it in
stantly. The horses flesh was not
abraded, so that there was no danger
of it's being affected.
During the previous week, Fred
Walker, who lives near Artesian
City, saw two of his COWS acting in a
strange manner and, being convinced
fro mtheir antics that they had rabies,
he shot them
Deputy Jackson says that there are
between 500 and 600 dogs in the ter
ritory to which he has been assigned
and only about $50 of them were muz-
zled when he made the rounds. Many
have promised to obey the law, and
there has been a noticeable improve
ment in conditions since the incidents
at Artesian City, related above. He
says that many of the dog owners
ought, in his opinion, to be prosecuted
if they do not promptly comply with
the order to muzzle their dogs, and
that he trusts that the records will be
promptly put in such shape that a
prosecution will stick.

MEX BANDITS
END is NEAR
Carranza Holds Three Sides of
Net. Americans Crowd Outlaw
IF LINES HOLD, VILLAS CAPTURE
SEEMS CERTAIN.
All Possible Avenues of Escape Close
Iy Guarded and CarTanza Field
Chief Declares He Holds Passes.

Ell PASO, Tex.-Pancho Villa has
been driven into a trap by the rapid
advance of the American troops.
Everything seems now to depend on
the ability of the Carranza forces to
hold their end of the net. On three
sides of the bandit chief he is hemmed
in by strong CarranZa columns, while
on the fourth the American soldiers
are driving forward with amazing
speed
A few miles to the west Of the ban
dts position is Namiquipa, which is
held by a powerful Carranza garri-
son. On the east are the frowning
barriers of the Cierra Madres noun
ia.ns barring the way to Sonora. Cen
eral Gutierrez, Carranza's field chief,
declares that he holds all the passes
to Sonora. In any event, it is unlike
ly that Villa would make a break for
Sonora, for that is the native state OF
| General Obregon, Carranza's minister
of war, and the natives are said to
be almost fanatical followers of his.
To the south Villas way is blocked
by the Carranza garrison at MADEIRA,
a town of considerable Importance, as
the headquarters of the MADEIRA COM
pany, limited, an American concern,
which has vast lumber, mining and
railroad interests On ACCOUNT VI INC
Importance of this town, an excep-
tionally heavy Carranza force is said
to hold it.
The whole situation seems to de-
pend on the Carranzistas. If they
remain loyal to the first chief, which
up to the present time they have
shown every indication of doing, Villa
appears trapped 1t is, of course,
realized that he is on ground of his
own choosing and a country admirably
suited for guerilla warfare and sur
prise attacks.
General John ]. Pershing personal
ly led the flying cavalry column in
the 110-milc dash Every man in his
command was mounted. They pressed
through a section of Mexico where
water was scarce. For such a large
body of men, the speed maintained
was remarkable and the good condi-
{ tion in which they came through was
inspiring.
Only a few cavalry horses and pack
mules were lost, the victims of a hard
. riding trail The men reached the
= camp thirsty and hungry, but other
wise in good condition, fit for action
and eager for the pursuit of Villa to
begin in earnest. Here they were met
with reports that Villa had raided
5 the American colonies i'll the vicinity
of his mountain retreats and that
I, he had killed residents of these col

ARREST ALLEGED BOOTLEGGERs.

Sheriff f M. Kendall returned this
morning from Murtaugh bringing two
alleged bootleggers with him. The
sheriff declined to give the names
of the arrested men or to make any
statement relative to the charges
which induced him to take them into
custody, pending the arrival or wit
nesses from Murtaugh, who are ex-
pected to file formal complaint
through the office of the county at
torney. County Attorney Davies said
this afternoon that he had not learned
the names of the men who are alleged
to have violated the law.

MUNICIPAL LODGING SUGGESTED
FOR LABORERS COMING HERE

That a municipal lodging house
should be provided in this city for
Inherent laborers who come here
seeking employment, until such time
as the situation is generally under
stood throughout the country and
workmen cease to come in hope of Sc
curing employment, is the opinion of
James Mcmillan, secretary of the Twin
Falls Commercial club. Mr. McMil-
Ian suggested that some place like the
old Eureka hotel could be rented and
a man put in charge and that it could
be made selfsustaining. When men
come here seeking employment and
find none, and are unable to find a
room or place to sleep, when they
have not the money to pay for it, they
become desperate, and if there is any
thing weak about their moral nature,
they are apt to get into deviltry, &C
cording to Mr.. McMillan's idea.

BELL DECLINES TO
BE A CANDIDATE
WIZ Not Seek Office of Probate Judge.
Suggests Judge ID. L. Welty for APP
pOintment.

Having duly considered the matter
from all angles, Frank s. Bell of this
city Saturday informed his numerous
friends who were urging his appoint
ment as probate judge to succeed
Jacob Shank that he had decided not
to allow his name to go before the
board of county commissioners as an
applicant for the appointment, and
suggested that, instead, the board ap
point Judge Daniel T. Welty of Castle
ford A petition had been circulated
in behalf of Mr. Bell by enthusiastic
friends and had been signed by more
than 400 democrats, republicans, pro-
hibitionists, progressives and social
lists. Mr.. Bell declared that he ap-
prec'ated the sentiments shown, but
did not see his way clear to accept
should he be appointed.
Judge Welty, who is indorsed by Mr..
Bell. is a prominent citizen of the
west end and an attorney of many
years standing, besides having served
as district Judge in Nebraska. He is
exec sdingly popular with everybody
in all parts of he county and is an
active member of the democratic
party. He has not been an active
candidate for the position.

Information VIII Be Furnished Com
missiOners of Twin Falls, Owyhee

Considerable interest is being taken
at Jarbidge in the road question and
preliminary surveys are being run
down the river with the view of find
ing a new route that will have less
snowdrifts than the present road The
Crippen grade is very bad for drifts,
while the draws between the top of
the grade and Rattlesnake also have
deep drifts. 1t is the opinion of those
who have been over this section of
the road that a route can be surveyed
down the river and around the bad
snowbanks.
A public meeting was called the
evening of the 8th of March for the
purpose of discussing the road matter
A proposition was received from
George Shoup offering to furnish the
engineers FOR a thorough survey of
the different possible routes. that the
best and most available one might be
determined, together with the proba-
BILE cost of building a good road. The
residents of the camp voted to accept
Mr. Shoups proposition and to back
him up to the extent of furnishing
axmen and other helpers and the sup
plies A committee was appointed to
take the matter in hand and the Com
mercial club, which was instrumental
in calling the meeting promised that

RECOMMENDS CUT

'tate Engineer Submits Reports
As to Lands to Retain in Project
ENTIRE NORTHWEST SECTION
OMITTED BY STATE ENGINEER.
Land Board To Hold Public Hearing
On Matter hursday-Settlers AS
sOciatiOn Will Not Be Represented.

Weighing the various factors that
enter into any attempt to reduce the
Salmon River segregation, the facts
that the improved lands are scattered
over a large area, that the soil in
some parts of the tract is much bet
ter than that in other parts, and
transportation losses in canals, State
Engineer ]. H. Smith has, after a per-
sonal investigation, recommended to
the state land board the elimination of
certain lands at present included in
the Salmon segregation.
The entire northwest section should
be eliminated, according to the state
engineer, cutting off No. lateral
about four miles northwest of Hol-
lister He would also eliminate the
lands to the east and north of Rog-
erson, between RogersOn and Deep
creek, and a couple Of thousand acres
between Hollister and Berger, along
Cedar draw. With the exception of
these three bodies, which are more
or less compact in form, the lands
to be cut out are scattered over the
remaining portion of the tract, and
embrace la Ids that are understood
to be rocky, of poor soil, difficult to
irrigate, or that cannot be served
economically from the irrigation sys-
TEN. All pumping plants would be
dispensed with, owing to the excessive
cost of operation and the advantages
of the gravity system.
A map showing the lands whicl
the state engineer proposes to retail
in the project is being prepared anC
will be published in Thursdays ISSUE
of THE TIMES. The list of lands t
be eliminated is too long for publica
tion in full

decision was reached not to send
