A. z. CARNAHAN WRITES TO COM
MERCIAL CLUB ABOUT GET
TING INTO THIS COUNTY.
Says That Segregation Is Too
Far From Silver City
Secretary Mcmillan Thinks it Inad-
yisable to Take Steps To Bring
About Such Annexation Of King Hill
District.

The Twin Falls Commercial club
Saturday received a communication
from A. p. Carnahan of Glenns Ferry
asking whether a proposition by the
people of King Hill district to become
annexed to Twin Falls county would
meet with favor here. Secretary Nc
MILAN of the club said yesterday that
in his opinion the club would not take
any stand in favor of such PROPOSE
ton, as its desire for the annexation
of certain townships in Owyhee coun
ty resulted only from the fact that
such annexation was necessary in
order to complete much needed load

as follows
Dear Sirs Understanding that i

to find out if Twin Falls county would

We are too far from Silver City and

more county would like to have us but
fully believe that most of the set
tiers would rather be in Twin Falls
county, as our interests are nearer

that the federal government will be
favorable to taking the ditch over ana
completing it.
The winter range for the stOckmen
from the Three Greek country and al

used from here to Three Creek and il
you are taking that country in; slice

is favorable we will get busy down

COUNCIL DENIES PETITION FOR
OPENING OF MOTION PICTURE
SHOWS ON LORDS DAY.
Dr.. J. f. Shepherd and Rev. C.L.
Bent Present a RemOnStrdnCe
Nine Hundred Want Shows Open
While Fourteen Hundred Sign Pro-
test Against Their Running-Other
Business Done.

By unanimous vote the city council
last night denied the petition for Sun
day motion pictures. Council Bobier
was absent The friends of the Sun
day movies had filed their petition,
containing 900 names, early in the
evening and were not represented.
The opponents of the Sunday shows
were represented by DR.. j. f. Shep-
herd and Rev c. L. Bent, and filed
remonstrance containing 1400 names,
with the statement that several vol
unteer circulators of petitions had
not reported and that they confidently
expected that they would have, all
told, 1000 names. City Attorney Her
riott ruled that no favorable action
could be taken legally until the coun-
Gil had examined the signatures to the
petition for motion pictures to deter
mine whether a sufficient number
thereon were legal voters to permit
action. A motion by Councilman Smith
to lay on the table pending such veri-
fication did not receive a second
Councilman Bracken then moved that
the petition for the Sunday pictures be
denied, it was seconded by Council
man al iOlO anu Cdl llCQ y.
In presenting the case of the re-
monstrants DR.. Shepherd said that he
disliked to oppose the wishes of any
one, but that he and a number of
others felt it to be their duty to op-
pose this. He understood that only
one theatre was behind the movement
for Sunday theatres. They had sent
out paid circulators and had begun
fhair fo,,
strants had no paid circulators and
had acted when they learned of the
move for the Sunday theatres. While
on their campaign~for signatures, they
had heard it said by some that if any
steps should be taken, they should be
in the direction of the censorship of
certain plays rather than in the di-
rection of greater freedom of opera
ton. He would ask that a public
hearing be given, and that the council
in canvassing the names to the petit
tions endeavor to ascertain whether
they were all legal voters, and to com
pare the character and standing OF
those whose names were signed on
the opposing papers. He said that
they would ask leave to file the peti-
tions still out, and hoped that the
petitions would be kept on file witt
the city in the event that future moves
should be made.
The remonstrance was presented by
Rev. Bent. After the ministers had
retired, Dr. Shepherd returned to say
that should the council care to act
before the remOnstrances still on;
we're filed, they would have no objec-
ton.
After DR.. Shepherd had again left
the room the council disposed of the
matter finally The city attorney rul-
ed that the petitions on both sides
could have no legal effect in the fu-
ture should another petition for Sun.
