and unsettled terri
tory. This is true by reason Of the
very careless manner In which Moth
er Nature handled the trowel on the
day that the state was made. There
are numerous instances OF the produc-
tive area OF one county opening out
into an unproductive section of al
adjoining county. There are instances
OF where the people OF one county are
Obliged to cross the unproductive sec
ton of an adjoining county 10 get
to an important destination either In
their own or an adjoining county. In
such cases the county across which
travel is necessary Is naturally not
interested in the building of roads to
enable the people of a sister county
to enjoy the benefits Of easy travel and
transportation. Nor could it be ex-
pected that such county would go in
to its general road fund to build roads
and bridges for the benefit Of the
people in an adjoining county. In
such cases the people of the county to
be benefited by a road across or in a
portion OF an adjoining county should
have the right to use and should
have the privilege of building, such
roads IS may be necessary and desir-
able to aid in the development of
their own county.
People who live near the county
boundary dividing their own county
from a sister county are constantly
obliged in following the detours Of
their main road to pass over the ter
ritory of an adjoining county. Such
a road may lead eventually to the
county seat or other place in which
the people Of the sister county have
no interest whatsoever, and therefore
have no interest in the building or
/ improving of such road so used for
travel by the people who do use it
constantly. Obviously, therefore the
people who use the road should have
the right to improve and care for it.
even though such road may go into
the territory of sister county.
There would be no danger of abuse
OF discretion by the board of county
commissioners in doing road or bridge
work in any adjoining county. Such
road and bridge work would be done
according to the same rules and con-
ditions of necessity as any other road
and bridge work within the county is
done
There would be no danger of con
flict between the two coupties, as the
/ proposed bill contains a section tc
! pOrtect the county in which the worb
is to be done from any damage.
The section providing that con
demnation proceedings be brought
when necessary. by the attorney gen
| eral, is to avoid conflict between the
counties, and to insure the greatest
measure of fairness when such pro
ceedings are necessary.
The section providing for thirty
days notice to the board of an adjoin-
ing county is to enable such boarc
to investigate conditions and to give
| 1t ample time in which to enjoin any
work that might appear to work ar
injury to such adjoining county or its
/ people.

HARD FOUGHT GAME
DROPPED TO BURlfY
Twin Falls Leads at End of First
Half But Weakens During the Sec
Ond Half of Game.

In the second scheduled basketball
game of the season, Twin Falls high
lost to Burley by one point The
game was closely contested through
out, although each team had winning
streaks at times. The final score was
the same as that of the game with
Hepburn 2S-29.
The first basket Of the game was
shot by McCracken, Immediately ar
ter the start of the contest. In the
first half he made one free throw and
two field goals; De Witt made two
field goals, Boone one, while Neu-
man was credited with three. Three
baskets we're made within eighty sec
onds by the Twin Falls quintet, near
the close of the first half. The gong
rung with the score 17-12 in favor of
Twin Falls.
The second half was begun in earn
est by the Burley aggregation. They
led Twin Falls by seven points for a
few minutes, and kept a lead of one
point at every stage of the second
half. McCracken and De Witt. each
made a field goal and Neuman made
two. McCracken made two free
throws and Neuman made one. Just
at the ring Of the gong Neuman shot
another field goal, which had it count
ed would have won the game. How
ever the referee maintained that the
ball had just left the players hand
as the gong sounded, and conceded tie
game to Burley.
The game was characterized by
some good individual playing, but
both groups of contestants lacked
team work. A Burley player made
one field goal from the center of the
floor, and Dewitt made two long one
from the sidelines Neuman was higF
man, making eleven points of the
twenty-eght, and McCracken a closC
second with nine.
The next game is with Bull at Buh

During 1916, E. b. Beeman sold to
local buyers $4,000 worth of hogs, the
net profit on them being better than
$500, exclusive of labor. Mr.. Bee
man is carrying over a fine lot of fall
pigs along with 25 brood sows and he
says he expects to show a nice profit
on them at the close of the year. He
also said that it looks as though the
west will have to go east for their
pork this year which will surely make
prices high in Idaho and western
states.
The most convincing proof of Bulbs
steady growth is the scarcity Of
houses and rooms for rent in town.
New houses are keeping carpenters
busy and little difficulty is expert
enced finding occupants for rooms.
This condition has existed for many
months but the town continues to
grow faster than accommodations are
made.

career in golf Is hardly equaIled In this
country. He Is 81 years Of age and has
played golf for, twenty-five years. Dur
ing this time he won the British ANA

Travis was 40 when he won the ma

The following year he invaded England
and accomplished a feat that no other
american has approached Evzns. Trav-
ers and Oimet were hopelessly outclass-

WAGNER ISAFRAID
LEGS WOULD FAIL
That's the Reason He Wishes
to Retire After II Years
With Pirates.

PITTSBURGH, March 1s.-Here is
the real story OF why Hans Wagner is
not with the Pirates. Wagner Is not
a Pirate holdout, neither will he go
into the oil business nor will he leave
for Hot Springs to prepare himself for
the coming National League cam
paign. Nor will he do lots of other
things which dame rumor has him in
tended doing.
Barney Dreyfus is the author of the
above statements. When pressed for a
direct statemenV as to the status OF
Wagner and the Pittsburgh Club,
Dreyfus said:
wagner visited me in the office
and we talked over matters. I asked
him again If he was going to Column
bus to train, and he said he did not
want to go away from home. He add
ed that he feared his legs would not
permit his playing ball. as he realizes
he Is past the age that the average
major Lacquer is showing his best. l
have had trouble with him the past
several years to get him to the train
ing camp, as he always wants to es-
cape this training process.
mo mention was made of salary.
He did not object to the salary I Of
fered him. II he is not satisfied he
has not mentioned the fact to me. In
fact, i cannot get any definite word
from him.
aust now / do not know what Wag-
ner intends to do. neither does he
himself. ] am simply waiting for him
to make up his own mind. Hans has
been working for me seventeen years,
and II is reasonable for me to know
him and for him to know me-"
