Street Commissioner and Force
Fight Water Several Days
CANAL BREAKS SOUTH AND EAST
OF TOWN FLOODING LOW LANDS.
Sash and Door Factory Closed One
Day by Back Water Resulting From
Broken CulYert-Little Damage.

After battle lasting several days,
the city, represented by Street Com
missioner Porter and his forces, have
succeeded in stopping the further ad-
vance of water and unless the floods
are heavily re-enforced by further
rains, the city will be spared a serious
inundation. The Overflowing of the
headgates on the Perrine coulee with
the large amount of surface water,
caused the overflowing OF the ditch
east and south of town Wednesday al
ternoon, and as a result of the stop
ping of the culvert undcr the Oregon
Short Line tracks, back water flood
ed the Twin Falls Sash and Door fac
tory yards, causing a temporary sus-
pension of work. The land in the i'm
mediate vicinity OF the factory was al
so under water. The big Eighth ave-
nue. ditch was filled TO the top and a
rise of a few inches would have sent
the water over the top. Fortunately
there was no serious breaking up of
ice until there was a big flood of wa
ter running down Sixth avenue North
for a couple of days to the great in
convenience of the people in that part
of town Only few private cellars in
the city were flooded and there was
no serious invasion of water into any
storage cellar in the city, though sew
eral cases of flooding potato cellars
and pits in the country are reported.
During the time that the snow was
melting and until the situation was
well in hand, Mr.. Porter kept ten men
busy, but cut the force to five We'd
nesday.
The water around the Sash and Door
factory began to subside Thursday
morning, when work was resumed.
When at its height it was within two
inches of the floor of the factory. The
culvert which caused the trouble was
an old wooden one, which caved in
under the tremendous pressure of the
water. 1t is still in bad condition but
the water is finding a partial outlet
around it.
The Twin Falls Canal company re-
ported this morning that conditions
are much better in the canals over the
tract and that the situation was re-
garded as safe unless something un-
foreseen should happen. Up to date
the only break has been the one in
the high line near Buhl, mentioned
in the last issue of The Times
Federal Engineer Sloan of Boise,
was in this section attending the NOV
able scools, was called Wednesday to
hunt the location of four water
guages located on the canals and on
Rock creek, which had been swept
out. He had found four of them at
last reports.

WOOL CAR PROVES
GREAT ATTRACTION
Jam in Car Every Minute From the
Time of Arrival Until Night Many
Valuable Suggestions Made.

The government wool car was
crowded all Wednesday afternoon by
men, women and children, many stu
dents from the high school visiting
the car. l.. l.. Heller, who had charge,
was Interested in getting the main
idea to his visitors, which was that
in wool raising discrimination should
be shown in selecting the sort OF
sheep that would get the best net re-
suits. For instance in this territory
the larger shrinkage in fine woods
more than offset difference of eigh-
teen cents a pound in price over the
longer braided wools, so that the
courser woods with smaller shrinkage
would be the most profitable. How
ever, he insisted that there should be
la breeding to a grade of sheep that
would produce fine wool, with small
shrinkage.
The difference between good and
ordinary sires was strikingly shown
in figures, indicating enormous loss
for those keeping the common KIND.
Many suggestions were made in re-
gard to matters of detail. For in
stance, Mr. Heller showed that the
cost of branding with insoluble paint
was very large. Branding on the
shoulder is necessary and ii is at that
point that the wool is finest. Soluble
branding liquid comes out and leaves
the wool as valuable as ever while the
insoluble sort practically destroys the
finest fleece on every sheep branded
with it.
Shrinkage, grade, strength, charac-
ter and preparation were all consider
ed and hastily explained over and over
90 oh
brought in to illustrate the differ
ences of wools. Mr.. Heller also showed
methods of determining values of diff
ferent woods so that the sheepInan
would be able to determine the value
of his product and not depend wholly
on the wool buyer In regard to some
of the matters under discussion, Mr.
Heller said:
"A fine staple wool quoted at rs
cents (scoured) if it shrank so per
cent, would be worth 80 cents in the
grease. The state from which a clip
comes has a great deal 10 do with the
price, as some of the sta,Cs are found
to average better than others in the
yield of clean wool and in the way the
sheep are bred and cared Tor. The
strength of the wool depends upon the
feeding and care OF the sheep and up
lon the breeding Tender wools are
caused by lack of care and feed, and
lower the price by from to cents a
pound The character of the wool de-
Ipends mainly upon the breeding OF
the sheep and to some extent upon
the care and feed. Wools of the best
character run from to 4 cents above
those of poor character (frowsy
dingy, etc. Separate sacks or bales
for blacks" bucks" lambs wool, ..tc.
is to the advantage of both seller and
buyer. If wool is properly graded
when shorn it can be sold without fur
ther handling in the warehouse. Bad
twine and branding fluid entirely pre-
vents the use of wools for some kinds
of goods"

day and Kimberly Wednesday morn

Cents Per Mile For Occasion
OLIVER TABERNACLE TO HOT Sc
IDAHO'S FIRST AUTO SHOW
Cars OF All Sizes and Makes VIII Be
Shown. All Space Sold. Elaborate
Arrangements Planned.

Idaho's first automobile show Will
Oliver-Butler tabernacle and Will con-
tinue for one week. There viii be ex-
hibited at this show the greatest va
riety of makes and models that has
ever been gathered together anywhere
in the inter-mountain country. About
forty different models will be shown,
including all the different types of
bodies and engines, from the largest
twelve-cylinder, seven-passenger tour
ing car, down to the smallest four
cylinder, two-passenger roadster.
There will be cars of two, three, four,
five and seven-passenger capacity and
with motors of four, six, eight and
twelve cylinders.
Perhaps the most noticeable feature
of this years cars is the reduction III
price, made possible by the stande rd-
ization of manufacturing operations.
Next to this feature is the increase in
the number of cylinders, the great ma
jority of the cars to be exhibited hav-
ing at least six cylinders, and from
that on up to twelve.
Many of the Mechanical changes are
not particularly noticeable to the lay
men who are struck by the more ap-
parent improvements in the design and
construction of bodies. Riding in these
models is much more comfortable than
in the older types. Decorations have
reached a higher plane, if possible,
than last year. Upholstering has been
improved and the accessories have
been provided with a view to meeting
every slightest need of the motorist.
The Twin Falls band has been en-
gagged to give concerts during each
evening of the show, and other enter
tainment features will be provided
these cannot yet be announced. The
decorations and lighting effects which
are being planned will be especially
worth while. And to cap the climax
the management announces that the
usual admission fee for automobile
shows will be cut in half, the univer-
sally accepted charge being fifty cents
while for the Twin Falls show it will
be twenty-five cents.
Word has just been received from o
f. Burley, general passenger agent OF
Oregon Short Line. that a special rate
of two cents per mile will be granted
from all points on the Minidoka
branch for the benefit of all those who
wish to attend the show. The exact
dates on which these rates will be
available Will be announced later.

There will be three big services Sun

hours for the services on Sunday will

The popular interest in the forthcom-
ing revival grows day by day. The
word comes from localities where he
has spoken and from men OF standing
who have heard him, continue to be
favorable to arouse interest Of the
people.
Dr. Castle says of him:
"The effect of his message on an
audience is most marked and incisive.
He drives neutralism from its hiding
and forces decision for or against the
right. He paints sin in deepest ebony
and righteousness in brightest radi
ance, with an impossible gulf between.
He uses no pseudonyms when dealing
with sin. He forces the sinner to face
his record and sin is classed according
to it's setting in the Word. All who
want to get right with God are drawn
with an ever growing esteem to the
messenger, while those unwilling to
/ pay the price are plunged into bit
ter and violent denunciations. This
Is a high compliment to the divinity
of his ministry"

the Black Butte country, Tuesday, re-
turning Wednesday. The party map
ped out their course carefully and
swept the country thoroughly on their
way They did not see a single coy
ote on the drive which indicates that
the animals are getting scarce. De-
putty Jackson, who went out in the
Amsterdam country earlier in the
week had better luck, as he located
and killed three of the animals, all of
which showed signs of rabies. How
ever, these animals had previously
been noticed prowling around and may
have been among the last of the breed
on the tract The heads of these ami
mails have been forwarded to Boise to
verify the impression that they were
mad.

G. A. Jungst braved the storm all
the way from Twin Falls, Idaho, with

Stock Journal Monday. Mr. Jungst
sold Ia cows for $675 per cwt. which
is the highest price for COWS for
many moons. The steers also sold

The receipts today were only those

since last Monday not more than two
or three carloads of cattle all told

Of course, were unable to move but
very few cars of beef, making demand
very light.

arose over a certain directory now

manager OF the Consolidated Wagon

and not mandatory, while others in
sisted that it was binding. In terms

Mr.. Wright and one or two others said
that they understood that it was mere

cular project which gave rise to the
discussion was opposed by some who
said that while it might prove good
to others it was not of value in their
individual cases and while they would
