COMPANY D. BOYS
HERE FOR CHRISTMAS
Several Get Short Leave-SeYenteen
viii Be Open For Jobs and Their
Names are left at Commercial Club.

Captain McRoberts, Lieutenant
Leighton, Sergeant Wenzel, Corporals
Foss, Suehr, Thomas and Crider, of
Company D., Rollo Crater of the sani-
tary department and Eugene Ostrander
of the band returned Saturday to spend
Christmas in this city. They will leave
tonight to rejoin Company d. and will
refurn from Boise when the mastering
out comes.
Plans for the reception of the COM
pany are being worked out, but moth
ing definite can be stated until it is
known when they will arrive. 1t is
now thought improbable that the band
can come but members of other COM
panies will probably accompany the
boys.
There are seventeen members of the
company who have not positions ready
for them on their return. A list of the
names have been left with Secretary
James Mcmillan of the Twin Falls
Commercial club and anyone who has
any place open is invited to confer
with Mr.. Mcmillan. There is a gener-
al sentiment in favor Of giving the boys
preference for positions. Several OF
them have announced that they are
open for any position that may be Of
fered, provided that 1t is honorable

ticed and the gift not unsuited to age
and sex.
All this arranged, there came the
labor Of dressing dollies, making can
dy socks and other details, in which
the original committee was most ef-
fectively assisted by Mrs. A. B. Will
son, Miss Grace Hornaday and a class
of her high school girls and by the
Camp Fire girls-the latter donating
a number of dressed dolls.
And out of all this came the scene
already referred to at the Episcopal
Parish house, the use of which was
donated for the occasion. AS indicat-
ed eighty-five children were actually
present; but quite a number were un-
able to come and were remembered at
their homes. In one instance, out Of a
family of nine children, all under Is
years of age, there was only clothing
enough to permit the attendance of
threei And this family, by the way,
was found living in a wagon, without
even a cooking stove!

Of these were distributed), or other
more appropriate gifts; and to each
child was given, in addition, choc-

homemade cooky-a box of nice ap-
pies being the voluntary contribution
of Mrs Nye and the ten or more dozer
cookies of Mrs. A. r. Ostrander The
high school orchestra enlivened the
occasion with music and the autos OF
Mrs. G. e. Booth, Mrs. T. j. Woods
and perhaps others. were ready tC

The ladies in charge felt that no
more than two or three, if any, ou

also noted that excellent behavior

the jury in the case of Rinaldo Arlste-
demo brought in a verdict OF first de-
gree manslaughter with recommen-
dation for life imprisonment. The ac-
cused was charged with the murder
of Alba Favero, young married wom-
an with whom he was infatuated and
who refused to elope with him.
Friday morning the trial OF Sidney

ElkOrO Opens Immense Body of

Many Twin Falls People Are Erect

JARBIDGE, Nev.-The lower tunnel
IN the Starlight has cut the vein and
1t Is highly encouraging, it is four
feet wide and pans we'll all the way
across, while very fine specimens can
be picked out of it. This level is
about $50 feet below the former level
where the high grade was first struck,
and the opening Of this body of ore on
this level practically guarantees the
existence of several millions more of
available ore in the mine. Everybody
connected with the mine is highly elat-
ed over the strike and the people Of
the town most heartily join them in
their elation and sincerely wish them
continued success in the further de-
velopment of the mine. By the time
the roads are open for the hauling of
heavy machinery into camp, this mine
should have sufficient ore blocked out
to warrant a mill.
The Elkore company have very
large body of high grade milling ore
already opened in the Long Hike mine
and are pushing development work as
rapidly as possible. A diamond drill
is being used to assist in the location
of additional ore bodies and to fur
nish line on the best and quickest
way to open up the same. The o. X.
ynine also has a large amount of ore
i'm sight and work on mill of handl-
ing the ores of all the mines of this
company would have been started this
winter had not the roads been block
AIDED by snow before the necessary
supplies were received. A large mill
will be required and the present roads
are wholly inadequate for the trans
portation of heavy machinery. The
Elkore company has a force of sur
Veyors laying out a road down tc
Jarbidge river which will cut out
part of the bad parts of the road
Elko county officials have done con-
siderable talking about building G
new road and 1t is to be hoped thai
such a road will be built, as many
of the supplies for the mines can b'
brought in from the Elko side at mucl
less cost, than these same supplies car

that Jarbidge trade is worthy goinl

straight line from Buhl to Jarbidg

tance from Jarbidge in any direction

MANY RECOMMENDATIONS WILL
RE MADE BY COMMITTEE
APPOINTED.
Would Adjourn for Thirty Days
for Legislative Action
Want New Method of Election Diree-
tOrs-Sale of UnsOld Water Rights
Privilege Of Election Other Than
Director For Secretary.

The legislative committee of the or
ganization composed of M. ]. Sweeley,
chairman, c. J. Hahn and ]. A. Waters,
of Twin Falls, Fred Nihart, D. T. Welty
and S. p. Atherton of Buhl, and IL. M.
Vanderpool, John Frahm and ]. II.
Barnes of Hansen, unanimously voted
to make the following recommenda-
tions to the annual meeting of stock
holders of the company, January 8:
That there be no election of direc-
tors at this date, but that this meet
ing be adjourned for a period of at
least thirty days to which time such
election be postponed.
That prompt and active effort be
taken to secure at an early date by the
action of the legislature, the change
in the law which will permit the COM
pany to change its articles of incor-
poration and bylaws as it may see
fit at any regular meeting of the stock
holders, such changes to be made by
a majority vote of those who may at
tend in person.
That when so authorized this cor
poration change its articles of incor
poration so as not to make 1t neces-
sary that the secretary be a member
of the board of directors.
That the board of directors Of the
corporation be reduced to three in
number, to hold their offices for three
years and that their term of office be
so arranged that only one director
shall be elected each year.
That proper effort be made to Sc
cure at the present session of the leg
islature the passage of a resolution
providing for the amending of the
state constitution so as to take from
it's provisions Carey Act corporations,
and enable such corporations to elect
their directors by districts, as in such
other manner as they may determine.
That the board of directors proceed
to make sale of the unsold water rights
belonging to this canal system at such
price per share, if other than $500
as may be determined by the state
board of land commissioners; said
rights, however, to be subject to the
rights already sold and now outstand-
ing, and to the end that said rights
may be made as good as possible the
board of directors should take imme-
diate steps to prevent waste of water
, from the canals and obtain such fur
, ther rights as can be had by addition
al filings on the flood waters of Snake
river at Miner dam.
That consideration be given to th'
provisions of the state law providing
