Some loose playing by the Burley
team in the ninth inning of Sundays
game gave Twin Falls the chance to
break the one-to-one tie in a contest
which was a pitchers battle from first
to last. The score ended two to one
i'll favor of Twin Falls.
In the ninth frame, Robinson, left
fielder for the local team, drove a long
fly to the left field fence Stephen
sen, the Burley fielder, got under the
ball but failed to catch it and the hit
was good for two bases. Stephenson
threw in to second base instead of
third, permitting Robinson to advance
to the third sack and the runner made
home on a low throw by Corbin to
third.
The game was featured by the good
twirling of both Christian and Shake,
each allowing only three hits, and al
so the consistent fielding of Walters
for Twin Falls, and Corbin, for Bur-
ley. In the sixth inning both teams
scored once. Burley made theirs from
base on balls, a sacrifice and hit,
while Twin Falls scored one on a hit,
"a sacrifice and a hit
Earlier in the game Christian, by
good pitching and headwork, pulled
himself out of a hole that for awhile
looked like a couple of points for Bur
ley. Christian walked two, and sac
rifice advanced the men to second and
third. Christian frightened, however
and famed the next two men up.
The box score follows:

RAFT RIVER BRANCH
TO HAVE TERMINUS
IdahOme TOWNSHIP Company Files Ar
ticles of Incorporation TO Build
Town.

Burnley, Ida.-With a capital stock
of $4,000 which according to the pa
pers presented, is fully subscribed, 1.
B. Perrine of Twin Falls, L. G. Brad
ley of Burley, and H. E. Babcock of
Idahome, filed articles of incorpora-
ton for the Idahome Townsite COM
pany Saturday, with the auditor and
recorder.
According to Mr.. Bradley, who is
the active manager of the new corpor-
alton, the company is formed for the
purpose of building a town at the ter
minus of the Raft river branch of the
o. S. L. which it was announced de-
finitely a few weeks ago would build
as far as Idahome in time to haul off
this years crops.
1.-THE building of this branch" said
Mr.. Bradley, in speaking of the mat
ter, will bring about a great develop
ment in the Raft river country. 1t is
great big rich country, but the farm
ers over there have never had a
chance for their grain after they had
raised it was hardly worth hauling to
the market. 1 believe the Sublet,
Meadow creek and Hegler country is
the best dry farming section in Idaho,
ard this new road will put them
twenty miles nearer to market than
they have been before. Aside from
the dry farming lands on this branch
there is a big area of well watered
and well improved lands along Raft
river and Cassia creek, which will
now be enabled to market their pro-
duce to advantage.
There is still little land to be
had either by filing or by purchase of
rights at a low figure, and the rush of
people to the section since the news
has been announced that the road
would build in has been heavy and
shows the wide interest in the coun-
try"

LANSING ASKS PROMPT REPLY
Has Protested Against Seizures of Neutral Mails and England's Trade with Enemy Act.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-Secre- tary Lansing of the State department, has asked the London foreign office for prompt replies to the American note protesting against the continued seizure of mails and as to the appli: cation of the Trading with Enemy" act against American firms.
 Secretary Lansing has admitted that British cruisers have seized ship ments of mail destined for the United States from Sweden since the Ameri- can note was dispatched but is hope full of an amicable settlement of the controversy.
 Advices from Sweden are to the effect that the Swedish government is holding an enormous amount of English mail which was seized while en route to Russia, and that it is be- ing held in retialaton for Brtain's in- vestigation of the neutral mails.

 In commenting on the notice the Berlin Varwarts says:
 When existance is so tragic, when the neseccities of life are so dear. and when everyone is obliged to keep his hand on his pocket book, soldiers wives who wear fine clothes and eat cake and attend the theatres must be very rare. The Mayor of Reichenbach would act more to the purpose if he forced the rich women of the city, who have money for that kind of luxury, from doing these things. and would take care that the children got enough milk and that mothers do not have to stand for hours waiting for the bits of meat that their rich sisters have thrown in the garbage cans.''
