CRYSTAL SPRINGS
NOT BADLY HURT
J. {. Moore Makes Statement
About Its Conditions
HALF OF CHERRY CROP PROB.
ABLY is SAFE.
Thinks Total Profits As Good As
Last Year-SOme Peaches Have
Escaped.

That there will be as many cherries
in the orchard of the Crystal Springs
Orchard company this year as last
year, that some peaches will be saved
and that the total crop saved will
probably bring as much money on the
market as If no frost had occurred
anywhere, was the opinion expressed
by ]. C. Moore of the Crystal Springs
Orchard company Tuesday. Mr.. Moore
said:
1.-THE orchard was examined by
Denny & Co. and State Fruit Inspector
Brannen, Immediately after the frost
and they reported good one-half of
the cherry crop saved and a percent
age of the peaches which they could
not estimate. They figured that there
would be some peaches there but how
many they did not attempt to estimate
as it would require some time after
the frost to determine the action Of
the sun on the crop. Saturday l was
at the orchard myself and it was the
opinion of Mr.. Reynolds, our foreman,
that there would be a nice crop of
cherries as the trees were very heav-
| lily loaded before the frost and that
there would be at least one-half re-
naming at maturity of the crop
which according to estimate should
be at least as many cherries as we
had last year, which was seven tons
We had estimated that we would have
three times as many cherries this year
as last year, the estimate being based
upon the full crop on all of the or
chard and being so equally distributed
over the trees.
"As to the peach crop, our first es-
innate was that we would have about
ten per cent of the crop should the
trees have lost from sixty to eighty
per cent of the crop and then have all
they could carry as they were also in
very heavy bearing. l phoned to the
orchard today and our foreman ad'
vises that conditions look better now
than they did when we were at the or
chard and he thinks that as time goe.
on conditions will look better in
stead of worse.
81 think l have been conservative II
the above statements and really ex
pect results to be considerable better
than l have indicated. We will know
within a very few days now as thu
weather is warmer and when the tree
are exposed to the sun and weathe
conditions we will soon find out in ;
definite way just what has happened
to the orchard.
"The reports go to the effect tha
the entire crop on the uplands ha
been lost / talked with Hagermal
man today and think the entire GRO
is lost in that valley. We estimat
that with the present shortage o
fruit crops, what we will save will b
worth as much or more than full
crop would have been worth if tn
entire northwest was in full produc
ton"

TEAM HAS
BEEN IDENTIFIED
Misunderstanding About Arrange
ments Cause Of Mysterious Al
fair.

The identity of the team found on
Seventh avenue north Sunday has
been established. The owner is not
the victim of foul play and a great
mystery has been solved. Fred Witt
recognized the animals Tuesday even
ing as belonging to his brother-in-law,
George E. Peterson, who left Sunday
night for Duluth, Minnesota, as
elimination of a quarrel with his
wife, which resulted in her applying
for a divorce.
Peterson and his family came here
eight months ago and rented a farm
near the city. They did not get along
well together and a couple of weeks
ago she left him and went with the
younger child to the home of her
brother-in-law, Fred Witt.
Peterson followed her there and
Witt says charged him with urging
her to leave and threatened to fight
him. Witt denies responsibility for
the separation. On May s, as noted in
The Times the following day, Mrs.
| 1eleTSOO Sueu lot ulVOTCe. by dSTtc-
ment he kept the older child which he
has taken to the home of his father in
Minnesota. Mrs. Peterson took the
younger child with her. Peterson then
sold all the furniture that he could
dispose of, it is said, and made ar
rangements with man named Bru-
ment or Brumet, to take the team
back to the ranch The latter under
stood that the team was to be left at
the Galliher barn and went there for
it several times. 1t is said that Pet
erson borrowed 5000 on the team from
George Baker, giving bill Of sale
Why he left it on Seventh avenue
north has not been explained.
. Attorney ]. H Wise, who REPRESENT
Mrs. Peterson, is investigating Il
, find out what equity, if any, his ellen
has in the team and wagon.
The mother of the little colt is 81
weak that she is unable to nurse he
offspring and William Hurlburt of th'
Cheap Barn is raising it on a bottl
until the question of ownership il
determined.

KIMBERLY GROWING
FAST SAYS BREMER
New Buildings Springing Up Every
where in the Town to the
East,

That Kimberly is growing like
green bay tree, with new buildings
springing up every few days, is the
story told Tuesday afternoon by Geo.
o. Bremen, who was over in regard to
the finishing operations involved in
the installation Of a modern bathing
room in his barber shop.
The latest building to go up, ac-
cording to Mr.. Bremen, is a new bak-
cry and restaurant erected on Main
street between the Village Black
smith Shop" and the new blacksmith
ing headquarters of W. A. Gill. The
old restaurant run by w. T. Rice has
added a new partner in the person Of
William Downey.
About a dozen buildings are in
the course of construction in the
town, popular interest being centered
largely in the new high school, the
contract for which was let last week
under the supervision of Architect
Nesbit of Twin Falls

GLENNS FERRY WOULD JOIN
SOUTHERN IDAHO LEAGUE

GLENNS FERRY, Ida.-A new
semi-professional baseball league for
southern Idaho was practically decid-
ed on at a meeting held in Twin Falls
during last week. The organization
will consist of teams from Kimberly
Burley, Rupert, Twin Falls, Shoshone
and Jerome. Games will be held on
Sundays and holidays. There has also
been some intimation that a team
from Buhl may join. With another
team in, it would probably be neces-
sary to make it an eight-team league.
This might offer an opportunity for
Glenns Ferry to put team in. Glenns
Ferry is as large as some of the
towns and could put out team that
would compare favorably with ay OF
the others Glenns Ferry Gazette

DELEGATION OUT
ON JARBlDGE ROAD
IwinFaIIS County Commissioners
in Party
STATE HIGHWAY ENGINEER AND
OTHER ENGINEERS co.
Hope TO Devise Means to Avoid
Crossing the Famous Crippm
Grade.

A party consisting of the entire
board of county commissioners from
this county, ]. J. Gregory and H. j.
Jones Of the county board of Elko
county, New, State Highway Engineer
Booth of Boise, and former State
Highway Engineer Smith of Pocatello,
Secretary James Mcmillan of the Twin
Falls Commercial club, w. T. Woods
and others, left yesterday morning to
view the road to Jarbidge, for the
purpose, if possible, of making ar
rangements for improving this road.
An engineer OF the Alaska Trading &
Transportation company, and a party
of citizens from Jarbidge, had ar
ranged to meet the party at Three
Creek and accompany them over the
road
Last week the Twin Falls county
commissioners, replying to a letter
from the Owyhee county board, which
expressed doubts as to its ability to
be present, strongly urged that at
least one member of that board join
the party. 1t is hoped to follow a
trail which will avoid the Crippin
grade, on which considerable money
has been spent, but which it is felt
can be substituted for by another
route more cheaply than it can be
put in shape for an auto road.

BOYS ARRESTED FOR
TAKING SMALL ARTICLES
Cases Pending Before Probation
Officer For Final Determina-
ton.

Two Stradley boys, William Fran
els and a boy named Descalli, were
taken into custody Saturday by off
GERS on the charge of purlioning
number of small articles from gar
ages and barns. They were brought
before Probation Officer Ormsby and
their cases are still pending. A
number of articles taken were found
hidden, and some of them had been
sold at the Kelly junk shop, among
the last named being an auto tire. Mr..
Kelly was warned to be careful about
purchasing articles from minors in
the future, and a ruling was made that
anyone buying any article from a
minor without permit from the pro-
baton officer would be prosecuted. A
number of spark plugs taken from
Ford cars were found in use by boys
around town in the construction of
wireless stations" and an effort is
being made to trace the matter back
to the boy who stole them. 1t is not
believed that they were taken by any
of the boys now in custody.

SENIOR CLASS PRESENTS
AN "AMFRICAN CITIZEN
Large Audience Sees Patriotic Play
In Which Seniors Are Represented
BY Excellent Talent.

The Senior class presented their an
nual class play Tuesday night in the
high school auditorium before a large
audience. Unusual talent and pre-
paration were shown in the presenta-
tion of the play, "An American Ciu-
zen" which was wisely chosen Beau
tifully staged under the able direction
of Miss Helen Porter with appro-
pirate settings, the parts were all
handled in skillful manner, making
the play worthy of much merit.
Miss Mildred Conway in the leading
role did full justice to a difficult part
in her usual winning manner. In
personating Miss Beatrice Carew a
young lady of English birth, she fitted
into a part where no little ability was
called for. Her gowns were both pref
ty and becoming, as were also those
of the other young ladies in the play.
Wilbur Rowberry, as the matter of
fact Beresford Cruger, the Amer
lean Citizen, who later assumes
the name of Carew, considers it very
unbusiness like to not have the ad-
dress of ones wife," displayed marked
ability in so capably handling diff
cult role. James Harvey as Peter
Barbury, law partner of Cruger and
droll sort, did exceptionally well in
part which required considerable
abality.
Ronald Boone had an exceedingly
strong part as Edgerton Brown, Miss
Carew's ex-fiancee. He handled the
part in most competent manner and
showed nothing Of the amateur, while
William Lesser, Lawrence Carlson
Eugene Ostrander and Dewey Rog
ers took their respective parts ia
credible manner and were the source
of much humor throughout the play
AS much credit must be given Mis-
Gladys Dwight, who characterized thu
sentimental type in the person o
Miss Carole Chapin,- the love lori
maiden lady Miss Dwight appeare,
to the best advantage in this parti
cular part and created no little laugh
ter, as did Henry Howe, the enthusi
astic real estate agent with numerou
investments. Alwilda Odor, Edytl
Clark and Juanita Dean had part
which they handled most capably.
The lines of the play were perfect
ly committed and there was not flaw
to mar the high standard of the Sen
ior's production.
Previous to the play proper was th'
presentation of the memorial by viii
liam Lesser and the presentation o
the pennant by Ronald Boone.

the speaker insisted that the bringing
about of the harmonious relations
needed must come through the recog-
milton by the individuals interested of
a personal God upon which belief they
could found the idea of the principle
of harmony. 1t was true in this as in
all things temporal that to those who
sought the Kingdom of God and His
justice all other things would be add
ed. AS in other cases of discord men
toned the first step must be through
an understanding of the position oc-
cupied by the other fellow. Hatred in
this case like hatred in the family, or
hatred between people of different
creeds on account of religious differ
ences, must only result in discord and
disaster.
With love of God, love of humanity,
love of country, love of the Stars and
Stripes and a sincere Christian spirit,
social problems could be solved.
Mr.. Collins proved a pleasing speak
er and made no attacks during his
talk which was applauded from time
to time, and heartily applauded at its
close.

HARMONY NEEDED IN
WORLD DSAYSCOLLINS
Knights of Columbus Speaker
Talks at Layering
MAKES PLEA FOR COOPERATION
IN SOLVING PROBLEMS.
Better Understanding Needed In
Religious, Family and Industrial
Relations.

Lack of harmony is what Is Wrong
With the World" according to P. w.
Collins, of Boston, the noted lecturer
who spoke at the Lavering theatre
Tuesday night under the auspices of
the Knights of Columbus. This lack
of harmony is manifested in religious
hatred between people of different
creeds, through their failure to under
stand and tolerate one another's view
points; in the family through discord
leading to divorce, and in the indus
trial field through disputes between
capital and labor where cooperation
should prevail.
The house was filled to its seating
capacity when M. ]. Macauley arose to
introduce the speaker. Mr.. Macauley
said in substance that some years ago,
noting the danger threatening civiliZa-
tion by reason of grave problems re-
quiring solution, the Knights of Co
lumbus engaged a number of lay
speakers to go forth to hold meetings
in order to arouse popular attention
to those problems, with view of Sc
curing the harmonious cooperation of
people of all religious beliefs in their
solution. Among those who had gone
out in the beginning, three were still
on the platform, among whom was the
speaker of the evening.
Mr.. Collins said that in the physi-
cal world we everywhere found har-
mony, the planets in their orbits and
nature in her manifestations every
where showed this to be true, but
among men harmony did not prevail
and in the study of this discord men
found the answer to the question
whats Wrong With the World?"
Declaring that the first principle of
harmony must be applied through the
working together of people of all
creeds, through a recognition of the
right of every man to worship God
according to the dictates Of his own
conscience, right guaranteed by the
Creator when he gave free will to
men, and guaranteed by two provi-
sions in the constitution of the United
States, the speaker said that through
a recognition of this right men could
get together to solve from a Christian
point of view vital questions. He
praised presidents Of the United States
for selecting men for high places on
account of what they believed to be
the fitness of the men appointed, re-
gardleSs of their religious alllllatlOhs,
and mentioned several instances the
last of which was the appointment OF
Louis Brandeis, distinguished jew
ish lawyer, to the supreme court OF
the United States.
Passing over the lack of harmony in
the family, with brief reference to
the fact that the family was the basis
of society and that it was threatened
by the growth of the divorce evil, Mr.
y Collins turned to the discussion of the
industrial evils, manifesting them
selves largely through disputes be-
tween labor and capital. Here, as in
the other human relations mentioned

Especial Dispatch-wed. 800 P. M,

POCATELLO, Ida.-The Elder fac
tion met defeat at the hands of the
anti-Elder forces on the first vote
taken at the Democratic convention
shortly after noon today when M. j.
Kerr, of Fremont county, was selected
as temporary chairman against A. G.
Hindman, of Ada county, the candi-
date of the Elder forces, the vote be-
ing: Kerr 1T, Hindman Ill.
Hindman was nominated by G. w.
Tannehill, of Nez Perce, who address,
ed the convention in behalf of his
nominee The nomination was second
ed by John f. Nugent, of Boise, one
of the leaders of the Elder-Nugent-
Pence faction. Mr.. Kerr was nomin-
ated by Miller of Fremont county.
The nomination was seconded by Twin
Falls, Latah, Ada, Shoshone and Mad
ison counties.
The situation is complicated by rea-
son of Kerr's being delegate who is
pledged to support Elder for national
committeeman, the Fremont county
delegation being instructed for Elder.
Late this morning it looked as
though e. NJ Wolfe, of Twin Falls,
would be the candidate of the anti
Elder forces for temporary chairman,
but the plan was later abandoned by
the anti-Elder forces who thought
they could secure more votes for Kerr
by reason of his being an instructed
delegate for Elder.
Clark of Lincoln county, was nomin-
ated by H. M. Hall of Jerome, but
withdrew in favor of Kerr.
No attempt was made at the first
session of the convention, which con-
vened at 12:15, to settle the contests
from Canyon, Cassia and Washington
counties, involving AZ delegates. A
committee consisting of delegates from
the various counties was selected to
decide these contests and any action
that is taken will be reported at 400
this afternoon, at which time the
convention resumes. 1t is claimed that
on the committee on credentials, Ell
der controls sixteen counties, while
his opponents control seventeen with
Blaine county in doubt. The anti-El-
der forces believe they will be able to
swing Blaine county into line, giving
them eighteen votes on the committee
against the sixteen votes of the Elder
forces.
1t appears at this time that A. M
Bowen, of Twin Falls, has the edge on
Elder for national committeeman nj
though it is claimed by the anti-EldeI
forces that they will be able to put 9
dark horse candidate across in The
event they cannot elect Elder The

Arrangements made late Tues
day morning for the transfer of

forces. Many of the Elder men are al
ready conceding that they cannot re-
elect Elder, but hope to make it i'm
possible for their opponents to fully

1t is probable that the selection of
delegates to the national convention
will come up late this afternoon and
the election of the national commit
teemen sometime this evening. Both
factions are caucasing this afternoon
hoping to reach full understanding
among themselves in order that each
faction may go before the convention

RAILROAD MASS MEETING
FOR NEXT TUESDAY NIGHT.

A mass meeting Of the people
of Twin Falls for the purpose of
promoting the construction of a
railroad to Castleford, will be
held Monday night at the rooms
of the Twin Falls Commercial
club. Those pushing the pro-
position feel that the public
should get behind the project.
Everybody, whether intending
to assist financially or not, is
invited to come out. So much
encouragement has been receiv-
ed that it is believed that with a
little enthusiasm and push on
the part of everyone the project
can speedily be brought to
successful conclusion.
