4 representative from a Paper
House who calls on us every
three months, dropped in the
other day with this: "What time
does service begin?" Without a
word we led him to the Shop. 1t
looked like a Pentacost of Quak-
ers. The spirit had moved every
body and the kids were down at
it. After inspecting the plant he
handed us this: "In my travels
from Massachusetts to the Vir-
ginia Capes, on out to Pittsburgh
this work-room is the best
Come in the office, we have ar
order for you" Why shouldn't
we? The man who has such
judgment, is a good man to buy
from.

Surprisingly Small Vote Cast at
Election
CASTLEFORD ALONE GAVE NEAR.
LY REQUIRED PER CENT.
Active Fight by Bull Men had Effect
Among Voters in Eastern Part Of
District.
Special to The Times

BUHL@With a total vote of more
than 200 below that of the June bond
election, the Bull Independent high
way district Saturday again defeated
the good roads bonds Saturday. The
vote stood sos for the bonds and 500
against them. OF the total vote of
14O4, it would have required 936 to
have won the election for the i'm
provement. In Buhl, the total vote
stood 63S for the bonds and 154
against them; in Castleford, the fav-
Orable 154, while the opposition poll
ed eight-two: the Lucerne vote stood
twenty-one to sixteen for the issue
At the previous election Buhl stood
9S2 for and 5S3 against. 1t will thus
be seen that Castleford lacked
little of giving the required two-thirds
vote. AT the previous election Castle
ford gave sixty-five votes for the issue
and forty seven against it. Allowing
for the creation of the Lucerne dis
trict, where thirty-seven votes were
cast the falling off of the Buhl vote
seems remarkable, especially in view
of the fact that the Castleford vote
more than doubled, increasing from
112 to 23S. The total vote cast at the
previous election was 1927, of which
997 were for the bonds and 5S3 against
them. sle explanation generally Of
fered is that owing to the active fight
put up by certain men in Buhl who
opposed large bond issue at present
on the ground that plans for it's sue
cessful expenditure had not been suf-
ficiently worked out, the friends of the
bonds in some instances, regarded the
battle as lost and did not work to get
out the affirmative vote, as actively as
at the previous election. The fight
against the bonds was most effective
in the northeast and southeast parts of
the district, where many of the people
were dissatisfied with the details of
the plans for the roads.

AGED WOMAN is
BURNED TO CRISP
Fire In Tent Sunday Morning
Mills Mrs. SCrItChfieId
son THOUGHT SHE HAD ESCAPED
UNTIL HE WAS OUTSIDE.
Awoke to Find Tent In FIames-Had
Desperate Fight to Save Life Of
Baby-Family Destitute.

Wrapped in a blanket thrown to
her by her son, ~ B. Scritchfield,
who supposed she was making her
escape, Mrs. E. NJ Scritchfield, aged
seventy-three years was burned to
death in a tent across the Oregon
Short Line tracks near the ball park
Sunday morning, about o'clock, by
fire which started from a cook stove.
Early in the morning the younger
Mrs Scritchfield arose and started the
fire in the stove after which she went
back to the bed in which she, her
husband and two months old baby
slept They all fell asleep. About Z
o'clock the young man awoke to find
the whole top of the tent on fire. He
sprang up and threw a blanket over
his mother, who slept in another bed
at the same end of the tent, telling
her to run He and his wife then
sprang for the door, but the younger
woman becoming excited dropped the
baby on her own bed. Scritchfield
sprang back into the tent for the baby
and found himself enveloped with
flames. Unable to carry the baby out
he threw it through the door, and after
two further attempts succeeded in
BelUluS Out HlulStll. ne lnOuSul bueiI
his mother had escaped but when he
saw that she had not, he again turn
ed to rush in, but at this moment a
can of coal oil near the stove exploded
saturating everything and causing
such a tremendous flame that further
efforts to rescue the woman would
have been suicidal.
The young folks who escaped are
all slightly burned, but not seriously
hurt Everything which they had was
destroyed in the flames. Mr.. Scritch-
/ field came here from Oregon short
time ago. He lived for time in
South Boise, after coming to Idaho.
He has been working around and the
! family is without resources.
The funeral of Mrs. Scritchfield
was held from the Crosby chapel at
10 o'clock this morning. The SER
vices were conducted by Rev. c. l.
Bent of the Methodist church.

NEW CITYsuGHTING
SYSTEM IN OPERATION
Sixty Extra Light Centers Give More
Uniform Illumination Than Was
Formerly Had.

The new lighting system for Twin
Falls was put into operation Saturday
night for the first time Manager R.
B. King, of the Idaho Power company
said yesterday that the new system
was not yet completed as to details,
as they would have to paint the poles
and make minor improvements, but
the lights are now all on and the re-
Electors installed. At the intersec-
tions where the old arcs were the
light is less intense but the reflectors
seem to throw the light better toward
the middle of the blocks There are
now sixty new light intersections, at
an extra cost of about $25 a month.
This will be increased about two dol
lars monthly by the installation of the
two extra lights ordered last night by
the council.
The appearance OF the city at night
has been much improved by the
change.
At the expiration of the period OF
the old contract in February. the city
will have to pay for the juice used
in the clusters around the park, courf
house and school
