EAST MORE ACTIVE
THAN EVER BEFORE
". R. Priebe finds Conditions
Unusually Prosperous
PEOPLE NOT TALKING POLITICS
OR GUESSING ABOUT FUTURE.
Belief General That Strike Is Not Per-
manentIy Settled But AdamsOn Bill
Is Popular.

That times are better in New York,
Chicago, Boston and Minneapolis than
ever before, that the people are too
busy to talk politics and do not stop
to discuss the possible effect of the
close of the war on their business,
that they do not regard the strike as
settled, but do think that the Adam
son bill was justified as preventing an
immediate break, are among things
that w. r. Priebe observed while east
on business and as a delegate to the
National Retail jewelers. association.
Mr.. Priebe says that business activity
in the east is wonderful. Prices are
going up in all lines of manufactured
goods. He kept track of the strike
situation in order that he might be
able to get home in case is should be
called. He was at Minneapolis at
tending the association meeting when
the strike was called and was prepar-
ed to get out when word came that it
had been called only on freight traf-
fic so he did not hurry.
Mr.. Priebe says that he went alone
because of infantile paralysis in New
York City. A child could be brought
into the city but not out Carrying
children in autos was forbidden and
he saw but two babies on the trains in
the state. He returned to this city
yesterday, having been absent a
month

SOCIALISTS PUT
TICKET IN FIELD
Held Convention Tuesday to Ratify
Action Of Previous Referendum to
the Several Locals.

The Socialist party met Tuesday in
this city and nominated a full ticket
for the fall election The ticket had
previously been agreed upon by re-
ferendum vote in the several Socialist
locals and the convention was held for
the purpose of complying with the
law. The following platform was
adopted:
We, the Socialist party of Twi malls
county, renew our allegiance to the
International program of Socialism.
Labor alone produces all wealth.
We propose that laborers alone shall
have all wealth. -
No man has a natural and inherent
right to exploit the labor of any other
man, therefore we demand that he
shall not have a legal right to do so.
We demand the collective ownership
of all things collectively usede, the
private ownership of things privately
used-the abolition of interest, rent
and profit.
We demand the initiative, referen-
dunn, and recall of all public officials
Our candidates when elected shall
always and everywhere, until the pre-
sent capitalistic system of industry is
abolished, make this question their
guiding rule of conduct "Will this
proposed legislation or action ad-
vance the interests of the working
class and aid the workers in their
class struggle?" If it will, the elect.
ed Socialist is strenuously for it; il
it will not he is and shall be absolute
ly opposed to it.
The personel of the ticket named
follows:
Senator, w. B. Easterly, Twin Falls
representatives Mrs. Myrtle Ayotte o.

and Jens Nicholaysen, Bull; commits

that they let the contract for build
ing which was not intended exclusive
ly for the needs of the INDECENT sick
and paupers in the care of the county.
Judge Babcock overruled the motion
to admit such testimony on the ground
that it was immaterial what the COM
missioners had announced as their in
tentions, saying that if the purpose for
offering this testimony was to i'm
peach the testimony of the commits
sioners he would admit it, but other
wise not
Attorney c.. o. Longley, who assisted
County Attorney j. E. Davies during
the trial of the case said that in his
mind only one issue was presented
and that was n regard to the finances.
The constitution he said in effect con-
tanned a provision for a bond issue
which without Interpretation by the
courts might seem to inhabit the max
ing of levy for such institutions un-
less authorized by the voters How
ever, the legislature had enacted a
statute providing for the expenditure
of money for necessary institutions,
which the supreme court had sustain
ed and under which such institutions
might be built. The only question,
therefore, in his opinion, was whether
the board having from $4,000 to $14,-
900 available cash surplus on hand
and intending to make levy at a
subsequent time which would raise
sufficient funds to pay the balance be-
fore the rest of the payments would
become due created a situation in
which the court might find sufficient
grace to decide in favor of the action.
In other words when such intention
on the part of the members without
legal steps to put it into effect con-
sidering the fact that they had part OF
the money on hand would be sufficient
reason to assume that they had made
provisions enough to justify holding
the contract valid He said that he
would frankly say that he regretted
that in taking the preliminary steps
the board had failed to make the mat
ter more clear. He said that he
would not go into any lengthy discus
sion Of the needs of the hospital II
had been amply proven by the testi-
mony. The testimony of DR.. Boyd die
not refute it. While DR.. Boyd believ

own statement not contain a place
for the healthy poor cared for by th'
county. Another $4,000 wpuld be

T hospital would not contain any place
for those suffering from contagious
diseases, and another $4,000 building

FALLING CUPBOARD BREAKS
LITTLE TADY WIXON'S HIP
Three Year-0ld Girl Is Pinned Be-
meath Heavy Furniture In Circus
Day Accident.

While climbing upon an old cup
board in her home at 214 Second ave-
nue. east last circus day, little
Tady Wixon, three-year-old daughter
of Mrs. Nina Wixon, caused the cup
board to overbalance and fall upon her.
The little girl was pinned beneath the
heavy furniture and when the mother
removed the cupboard it was found
that the baby's hip was broken. I'm
mediate surgical attention was given
the girl and though the break is a
serious one, the physician in charge is
confident that the little girl, because
of her age, will fully recover, and that
no permanent injury will result from
the accident. The hip is in suspension
and will remain so for the next fouI
weeks.
