CASTLEFORD BOOSTERS ARE
WORKING SIASTICALLY

Castleford has a real live booster
organization, which has been named
the Public Utilities club of Castleford
says the Bull Pioneer. The first
steps were taken to organize the club
in February and now there is mem
bership of 27 with prospects fer
many more Business men of the town
and farmers alike belong to the or
ganization which has for it's object
boosting Castleford and the country
surrounding. Meetings are held every
Tuesday evening and on the first
Saturday OF every month at two
o'clock a business meeting is held
The officers of the club are as fol-
lows: President, r. r. Betzler; vice
president, e w. Kinyon; secretary
treasurer, Lou Heller. The executive
committee is composed of the above
named officers and j. II. Seaver and
John A. Noble.
Practically the entire meeting of
the club, was given over Tuesday to
agricultural speakers. Doctor G.. b.
Bishop discussed hog cholera and
other animal diseases. Joseph Tho
metz spoke on clover seed produc-
ton and County Agent Birch present
ed the reasons for and advantages of
a farm bureau in the county.
The farmers of, the CastlefOrd sec
ton showed their interest in progress
sive farming ideas by turning out in
large numbers, despite the almost i'm
passible condition of the roads There
were thirty-five present. The meet
ing voted to appoint a committee to
assist in organizing the farm bureau
in the Castleford section.

BuhE NeuS
I(From Buhl fIeraid)

According to a petition circulated
by Mayor H. w. Herman among the
owners of abutting property in a pro-
posed paving district of eight blocks
in the center of the city, it would
seem that the paving of the streets
was not only popular with these peo-
pie but very much desired The pay
ing would be some sort of asphalt and
would cost in the neighborhood of 50
per yard or about $3.50 per 25-foot
frontage. The cost would be ASSESS
ed against the abutting property. The
only expense to the city would be the
five intersections.

In everything but the paper dictum,
a state Of war has been existent be-
tween Germany and the United States
ever since his passports were handed
to Count Won Bernstorff-ever since
the act of piracy that caused them to
be handed him; and it might be ssid,
so far as Germany, judged by her acts
instead of her promises, is concern
ed, ever since the horrible crime of
the Lusitania.
Whether the president declares the
existence of a state of war, as he is
said to be expected to do, within tie
next forty-eight hours or the next
forty-eight days, he certainly recog-
nized it when he armed merchant YES

me wATERMORKs QrEsTION

The ordinance passed by the city
council, and published in full ese-
where herewith, brings "The Water
works Question" in its entirety,
sauarely up to the voters of this city.
All Will undoubtedly commend the
arrangement by which this is brought
about at the regular city election, to
be held on April oath next, and tile
trouble and expense OF "a separate poll
avoided
In brief and simply stated, the vot-
ers of Twin Falls are called upon to
decide at that time two questions,
viz:
1.-Shall six per cent. ten to twenty
years bonds in the sum of S420,O00
be authorized for the purpose CT
construction of water supply and
distribution system in accordance
with the. Kelsey plans.
Shall six per cent. ten and twenty
bonds in the sum of $176, 100000
be authorized for the purpose Of
constructing the pipe line, etc,
that will permit the use of Rock
Creek and High Line water.
AS is no doubt evident, majority
vote in favor of question number one
will give us our present source OF
water only, with adequate reservo'r,
filtration plant, supply mains and DIS
tributing system. The second ques-
ton Greatly negligible unless the first
be answered Automatically simply
adds the water from Rock Greek and
the high line canal to the present
source of supply-absolutely vital only
in case the low line be shut off in
winter, as it will be at some time il
the future.
The course of the city council in
submitting the two questions separate
ly will doubtless commend itself to the
voters, who are thereby given greater
opportunity for discrimination than
otherwise Finally, however, the
Judgment of each voter in conserva-
ton of the best interests of our city
and, therefore, of himself-should
and Will determine how his vote be
cast upon either proposition.
This brings us to the great ques-
ton: What, in this matter and at this
time, Is pest lot Twin rails. anu, dS
has been previously set forth, this is a
great and vitality important query. 1t
is generally known and admitted that
our present water supply and distrib-
ution is unsatisfactory and made
quate. But before paying a half mil
lion dollars for new one, we should
know that we have prospect of get
ting what we pay fort Without lis
tening to rumors, we should at least
know that the new system is planned
and its construction will be super
vised by an engineer whose record
and standing, both personally and
professionally. are all that they
should be. Such knowledge should
not be difficult of attainment. Our
city council is evidently satisfied, sc
far as its membership is concerned

good has been done by these boys
