MUCH INTEREST is SHOWN
IN VOCATIONAL DISPLAY
Exhibit of Work of Different De-
partments of High Schccl Shown
Wednesday,.

The annual vocational display of the
high school, shown in the high school
building yesterday afternoon and eve
ming, and consisting of specimens of
the work done by the cooking, sew
ing, agriculture, commercial wood
work and mechanical drawing de-
partments, as well as those of the
Latin, English and social science de-
partments, was by far the best eX-
hibit of it's kind ever held in this city.
The display which consisted of the
work of the many different depart
ments, was a credit to the high school
and to the pupils and instructors of
the various department.
The work of the pupils was shown
to advantage in the several rooms ac-
cording to their departments. That
Of the sewing class and domestic sci
ence department was displayed in the
auditorium where it was beautifully
arranged about the spacious room.
Many of the pretty creations were
hung on the two sides of the wall, the
different articles being placed ac-
cording to their classification. On
the side were hung the tailored ar
ticles, on another were placed the
dainty lingerie, while many of the
pretty dresses, hats and evening caps
were displayed on wax figures. Num-
erous aprons were shown among the
finer street and party dresses.
All of these showed considerable
skill and painstaking work as well as
did the cookery, which was displayed
in still another part of the room. The
daintily prepared dishes were most
invitingly exhibited on the long ta-
bles in the center of the room, where
they might be purchased. Everything
from the homemade bread to the
daintier dishes were for sale in this
department.
Passing on into the agricultural dis
play were the exhibits of farm pro-
ducts and a special feature of the dis
play was the very interesting exhibit
of bee culture, where in a large
square screen box We're innumerable
bees at their task of making honey
In still another room were exhibits
on tree and plant culture and some
very unique models were used to
show the possibilities in the improve
ment of a farm.
In the manual training de-
partment, in the east basement
excellent exhibits were display
ed in the form of well finished tables
buffets, chairs, and many smaller ar
ticles, too numerous to mention. The
wood working department is deserving
of great credit.
On the second floor was the work oil
the Latin, German, English and So
cial Science department, all of which
had equally good exhibits and the
commercial and mechanical drawing
departments were each well repre-
sented. Neat specimens of penman-
: ship and stenography were in evi
dence in the commercial department
at the west end of the building.
Music for the occasion was furn
ished by the high school orchestra anC
an unusually large crowd of parent.
! and patrons visited the exhibit at diff
ferent times.

wound

TYLER CHRISTIN
HEADS THE TEAM
Oakland Man Engaged by the
Twin falls Club
REGULAR SCHEDULE ARRANGED
FOR BASEBALL SEASON.
Plenty of Interest Shown BY PeO-
pie; Merchants Pledge $400 n
Month.

Tyler Christin was elected manager
for the Twin Falls team for the sea-
son at a meeting of joint committee
of the baseball club and Merchants
association held in the rooms of the
commercial club yesterday afternoon
and is now busily engaged in whip
ping the team into shape for the Kim
berly game Sunday The Kimberly
boys are already hard at work and the
opening of the contest promises to be
auspicious for the fans, and Manager
Christin says that he believes it will
be for the home team.
The merchants have pledged $400 a
month for five months, and a salary
of $50 will be paid to Mr.. Christin
for the entire season. The meeting of
the association Tuesday night was
largely attended and the baseball spir-
it which has been working under the
surface for some time at last blazed
out and everybody has now plenty of
vim and enthusiasm. The committee
appointed for the association consist
ed of Luke L. Wright, George Wiley
and Bert Caldwell. The baseball COM
mittee consists of L. c. Faulkner, T.
B. Hart and G. c. Roberts.
This is the first time that this city
has been identified with a regular
league, and the fact that a regular
schedule has been worked out which
assures the playing of games at GER
tain periods has done more to arouse
interest than anything else. Hereto
fore, games have been spasmodic and
people lost interest between times. All
this is now changed and a large at
tendance is certain from the start.

Southern Idaho league for the sea-
son:

FRUIT CROP THOUGHT
TO BE TOTAL LOSS
Tuesday Night-Grass Crops We're
Hurt.

The fruit crop of the entire Twin
Falls tract seems to have been terribly
injured if not totally destroyed by the
killing frosts of Tuesday and Wednes-
day nights. The official government
thermometers at the James A. Waters
farm registered nine below freezing
Tuesday night and seven below last
night, and the general belief is that
this will destroy practically the entire
crop of all kinds of fruit. A few who
investigated said that from the con-
dition of the blossoms this morning
they thought it possible that 10 per
cent or even so per cent had escaped,
among some kinds of hardy apples in
orchards favorably located, but this
idea is not generally held E. A. Mil
ner of Bull, who was in Twin Falls
this morning, said that the opinion in
the west end city was that the fruit
crop there would be a total loss.
Grass crops are somewhat injured
and the growth of everything retarded
by the cold spell and heavy frosts.

WORKMAN BADLY HURT
IN AUTO ACCIDENT
Driver Runs Over Thomas Ceser
Near Nevada Line and Injuries Him
Severely.

Thomas Ceser, who says that he is
a North American Chinaman, is in the
county hospital recovering from the
results of being run over by a joy
rider near the Nevada line Friday af-
ternoon. Ceser, who is a laborer, was
coming toward this city from Wells,
Nevada, carrying a bundle of bedding,
when suddenly an auto appeared in
the dust behind him and before he
could dodge, struck him and rendered
him unconscious. When he recovered
later there was no sign of the auto
which struck him. A short time after
wards California car came along and
picked him up as he was lying help
less by the road and carried him to
Rogerson.
He was brought to this city the fol-
lowing day on the train and placed in
the hospital where he is recovering. He
has a bad cut on the head and is
badly bruised on the body, but was
able to get up town yesterday
The accident occurred about an hour
before sundown. There is no clew to
the owner of the machine

THOMAS COPIED MUSIC
FOR MAY DAY DANCE
Band Leader Does Splendid Work
Under Tremendous Difficulties In
Preparing Program.

The thousands who listened to the
delightful music furnished by the big
high school band at the May day ex-
ercises last Friday, had no idea of
the great pains which were necessar-
lily taken by Bandmaster c. ID. Thorn
as in getting the music and making
the necessary preparations for the oc-
casion. There was no music to be
had for the folk tunes to which the
children danced and Mr.. Thomas was
compelled to write it down with pen
and ink while listening to the teach
ers hum or whistle the various pieces,
and was then compelled to arrange it
for the different musical instruments.
He spent five days on the work, with
the result that it was finally perfect
ed, as the people heard it. The music
was the spirit of the whole, as it was
not only fitting and well arranged but
was well played, and all concerned
deserve great credit for the manner of
their participation.

FAMOUS WATER C0LORS
SHOWN IN TWIN FALLS
Works by Famous Artists On Display
AT the Vincent Furniture Company
Store.

One of the finest exhibits of water
colors in America is being displayed
this week at the Vincent Furniture
company headquarters by e. ]. Reis
dorf, a collector who has been in the
business for the past quarter of cen
tury The display consists of the pro-
ductions of the greatest masters of
Europe and America and includes
scenes from foreign countries and Of
American beauty spots, painted by
master hands. There are marine
scenes, depicting faithfully the ocean
and the sky, a picture of snow in a
French village and the wild lavender
fields of the land of the Gaul, German
and Dutch pastOrals and productions
from England. Mr.. Reisdorf says that
he is neutral and his paintings indicate
that he is at least non-committal in
dealing with foreign productions, but
he is evidently a partisan of good
paintings of all nationalities.
No effort is made to sell the visitors
the paintings, which, however, are
purchasable, the object being to get
an idea of whether the artistic spirit
prevails in the city, or not, and the
knowledge obtained is taken into con-
sideration in determining whether fu-
ture visits of a commercial nature will
be made. Everybody is invited and
any one who goes, whether critic or
grade pupil, will be entertained and
benefited.
The collection will be on display all
the week and may be seen at any time
during the day.

WESTERN PACIFIC
SURE TO BUILD
Boston FinanCier In Charge of
Reorganization
MAY COME TO TWIN FALLS VIA
RAFT RIVER ROUTE.
Financiers Say They Propose to Make
Western Pacific One Of the Best
Roads In West.

Statements attributed to E. w. Rol-
Inns, head of the financial house of E..
II. Rollins & Co., of Boston, in an in
terview in Salt Lake, are interpreted
to mean the construction of an Idaho
feeder for the Western Pacific, either
from Winnemucca to Boise or from
Salt Lake to Boise.
E. H. Rollins e Co. have the reor-
gani1ation of the Western Pacific un-
der their supervision, and Mr.. Rollins
was on his way east after attending a
meeting of the bondholders' committee
and receivers of the road, held in San
Francisco last Wednesday, when he
was interviewed in Salt Lake.
The tenor of his interview indicates
that the Western Pacific is now dis
posed to take another look over the
route from Salt Lake to Boise, which
it planned when the road was project
ed about 10 years ago. At that time
the development along the proposed
route was in the prediction stage. 1t
is now promise fulfilled such a
route as appeals to railway builders
lined with plenty of haystacks and
farm houses
The Salt Lake Herald-Republican
quotes Mr.. Rollins as saying that the
reorganization plan contemplated the
turning in of all bonds to a holding
company, to be organized. The hold
ing company will then issue twenty
million in bonds to build feeders and
branches, one of which includes q
road from Salt Lake to Boise, through
the Raft river and Twin Falls sections
This, it is said, has been the alterna-
tive route of the Winnemucca North
ern, from Winnemucca to Boise
through Jordan Valley, Ore.
"As soon as the courts dissolve the
receivership, and as soon as the hold
ing company is formed" Mr.. Rollins
is quoted as saying, 1--WE will go tC
work and make of the Western Pacific
one of the best railroads in the west
The road has to beat the Southern
Pacific from the California fields t
the east to get the business, and while
the operating department is in charge
of the movement of trains, the fin
ancial interests behind the new or
ganization intend to take charge O
the operating end and see that trains
are delivered to connections in Sal
Lake half a day ahead of competitive
roads, which will mean a day or two
days ahead of these roads at deliver,

badors, who come direct from a tour
of the orient. The members of this
troupe are all artists of real merit and

capitals of Asia and Africa. They

of favor, by the mikado of Japan and

rarely given TO anyone out Cinnamon.

cradles. This sketch has been ap-
proved by the national board of cen
sorship.
New York's leading vaudeville and
cabaret favorite, William Bushel. who
made Swimming Down the Old Green
River" so popular in the passing show
of 1916, is one of the leading enter
tainers of the evening Many other
celebreties will be given a chance to
make the time fly before the cider and
doughnuts will be served.
"It will be a great affair and the best
thing about it is, it does not cost a
cent. OF course, if anyone insists in
putting two bits in the hat that will be
close to the this way out sign" they
will not be stopped. This is going to
be mixer and not financial meet
ing so let us all come prepared for a
good time"

T. G. p. TRAIN ROBBED
BY LONE MASKED MAN

Shreveport, La. May 22.-The mail
car on Texas & Pacific train en- route
from New Orleans to Fort Worth was
entered by a masked man shortly
after 10 o'clock tonight as the train
was leaving Grand Cane, a station
about twenty miles south of here.
The robber at the point of pistol
placed empty mail sacks over the
heads of the postal clerks, after
which he leisurely rihed the register
ed mail of the car.
He left the car shortly afterward
and the alarm was given at Keithville,
the next stop.
The robbery was conducted under
circumstances similar to one of the
mail cars on the train as it was leav-
ing Shreveport about one month ago.
No trace of the robber had been
found up to a late hour tonight and
could be learned regarding
the value of the mail stolen.
