behalf of the Salmon tract settlers be-
fore the United States circuit court of
appeals for the ninth circuit on Feb
ruary "A. s. H. Hays and o. o. Haga
appeared for the company The line
of argument on both sides was largely
a reiteration of the contentious pre-
viously made before the United States
district court in the same case. The
company, as appellant, contended for
equal distribution among the settlers.
to which it was answered in behalf OF
the latter that such construction
would mean the destruction OF the in
terests OF the settlers and a denial OF
their right to patent their holdings as
the amount of water received under
such circumstances would be so small

came to the front When asked If an
other meeting on the same subject
was desired next Sunday the vote in
its favor was overwhelming. DR.. OIL
yer in declaring that he would yield,
said that while they seemed to think
his talk hot, it was like ice cream
compared to what they could get next
Sunday afternoon. Many present at
the meeting declared that it was the
finest service which they had ever at
tended and several who had previous
ly been present at Billy Sunday meet
ings asserted that Dr. Oliver was
much more effective than that famous
revivalist Sunday night DR.. oliver

dreams with the stern realities of life,
telling several anecdotes to illustrate
his meaning

Won BernStOrff Presents Formal

NO PROTECTION FOR SHIPS ON

Lansing Makes 1t Clear America VIII
Offer Immunity to Persons on Bat
tie Seeking Merchantmen.

WASHIGTO TON-Germany in a for
NAL note presented by Count Won
Bernstorff to Secretary Lansing Mon
day. reiterates assurances regarding
the future conduct of submarine war
fare given in the Lusitania case, de-
clares those assurances have not been

ance Of the memorandum by present.
ing evidence and assertions designed
to prove that the British government
has instructed merchantmen to use
their armament for purposes of at
tack in violation of assurances given
to the United States
Later it was said at the state de-
partment that while the United States
stood unalterably for the right of mer-
chant ships to carry guns for defense,
it was not now and never had been
contending that Americans could ira
vel with immunity on ships having or
ders to act extensively. 1t was indi-
Gated that although Secretary Lansing
was not prepared at this time to ac-
cept as conclusive the allegations OF
Germany in regard to the confidential
instructions claimed to have been Civ
en- to British sea captains, that il
these claims were sustained, the fact
would have an important bearing upon
the future attitude of this government
1t is felt in high official quarters here
that the question of motive is the car
dinal consideration in determining the
difference between defensive and Of
fensive armament.
The state department makes {
broad distinction between resistance
and offense. 1t holds that a merchant
ship has a right to resist capture, bu
not to act Extensively OF course, it is
admitted, vessel loses all immunit,
while in the act OF resisting.

GOODING TEAM
TAKES FAST GAME
Local Basket Ball Team Defeated
In Good Game By Very Close
Margin.

The basket ball team of the Gooding
high school, clashed with the local boys
in the high school gym last Friday
night, and won by the close margin OF
one point. When the game ended, the
black board indicated a tie, but the
score keepers announced that the cor
rect score stood % to % in favor of
the visitors.
A very close game was expected, as
the Gooding boys were considered a
very strong team; they were handi-
capped, however, by the loss of a vet
eran guard who sprained his ankle
while playing against Meridian The
local boys were in good shape and had
been working hard all week in anti
cipation of this game.
When the whistle first blew, the
line-nn was as follows.

Twin Falls Commercial Organi-
zatiOn Raises Issue
WOULD USE FLOW OF ROCK CREEK
TO GENERATE POWER.
Invitation to Entertain Republicans
Accepted Democratic Convention
Invited-0ther Business.

After accepting an invitation to sup
,erintend the reception of the Republi-
can state convention and extending an
invitation to the Democratic state CEN
trail committee to send the state con-
vention here, the directors of the Twin
Falls Comercial club at their meeting
Friday afternoon voted in favor OF the
establishment of a municipal light
plant at a total approximate cost of
100000, the electricity to be gener-
ated by the flow of Rock creek, which
can be utilized by the construction of
a cement bridge instead of a steel
bridge across that stream at the end
of Shoshone street where a new bridge
must be built in the immediate future.
The directors also went on record as
favoring the appointment of an over
seer for each road leading into the
city, offered prizes for best sugar beet
yields, favored city planning COM
mission and endorsed plan for the
formation of an association to erect a
bronze table for Frank II. Buhl, the
sole survivor of the Kimberly
Construction company, which was res
ponsible for the Twin Falls irrigation
project
The matter of the state Republican
through the efforts of w. G. Guthrie
and NJ. j. Sweeley, to be held here
April goth, was very fully discussed
from the point of the club being a
non-partisan organization and this
convention being strictly political. but
II was thought that the club could
take care of the large number of peo-
pie attending, better than the local
nn1itipa1 cOrOuiftQq and that the en-
tertainment of these delegates from
every county in the state was clearly
within our duty. On motion of Mr.
Maxwell, seconded by MIR. Eldridge
and carried unanimously, the club will
take the management of the entertain
ment features of the convention, and
the secretary was instructed to extend
10 the chairman of the Democratic
state central committee a very cordial
invitation for the Democratic state
convention to be held in this city and
rendering the same courtesies and en-
tertainment that will be provided fol
the Republican convention.
The following gentlemen were ap
pointed as chairmen of committees
M ]. Sweeley, reception; w. p. Guth-
rie, ways and means; Arthur ]. Pea
vey, automobiles; E. l.. Ashton
rooms; r. A. Read. publicity; c. d

instructed to fill their committees tC

tives of the different political parties.

CITY DOG ORDER

Because Deputies Took Rest Report

Because the city force of extra de-
puties who were annihilating unmuz-

cause there were no more unmuzzled
dogs to kill. false report got abroad
n the country that the muzzling or
der and ordinance were no longer be-

Falls H. s.
Umpire: Bracken of Twin Falls.
The game started with a dash, and
the team work of the Twin Falls boys
was remarkable; the visitors we're
completely baffled and found it hard
to get their hands on the ball. Even
when they did start for the basket,
their plays was usually broken up by
the local guards. Within a few min
utes the score stood 10 to in favor
of Twin Falls and it seemed like a
victory for the home team. Gooding
made a few field goals and threw four
free throws, making the score tie
for the first half.
The Twin Falls team did not come
back with their usual pep" during
the first part of the second half, al
though their team work was perhaps
even better, they could not find the
basket until towards the end of the
game. Gooding got a small lead but
with just a few minutes to play, the
home boys scored a few times, and ii
seemed that the score was a tie " hen
the final whistle blew the teams re-
manned on the floor expecting to play
off the tie, but when the score books
were totalled up, it was discovered
that Gooding lead by one point.
The game was characterized by a
few exceptional shots at baskets. Bris-
tol, in jumping after held ball, plac-
ed a score to his credit. and Leisel
made two shots almost from the cen
| ter of the floor. Adamson of Goodinf
did good work on free throws. and a
one time placed the ball in the baske
throwing from his knees.
This will probably be the last game
to be played on the local floor, but tn,
boys will probably take a trip anC
play some of the teams of the neigh
| boring towns.
