High School.

"A class for beginners will be or
ganized in the high school building at
the opening of the second semester,
Monday, January %, 1917" said Su-
perintendent Hal G. Blue today. Con-
tinuing he said:
at will be impossible to organize
a beginners class in either the
Washington, Lincoln or the Bickel
schools. This is because there Is no
available room. 1t is possible to -
cure room in the High school build
ing, and since the high school build
ing is centrally located, it can best
serve the whole district
ANY child who will be six years OF
age on or before Monday, February
12, 1917, will be permitted to enter
this class for beginners. Pupils who
will be six years old after this date
will need to wait until the beginning
Of the next school year in September.
Rural patrons need have no hes
itancy in sending children for this
class because the children will be
transported to and from the high
school building. People who live in
Twin Falls and who are some dis
tance from the high school building
need not hesitate to send their child
rem, because every effort will be
made to care for them in the best pos
sible way. There will be teacher in
the building during the noon hour to
look after them in case the parents
wish to send lunches"

or warranted compliance with the de-
mands of the Twin Falls Land aud

The practical and legal conclusions
of Mr.. Seaver were stoutly disputed
by a number of those present and
were supported by others. M. j.
Sweeley strongly opposed the watering
of the Hansen butte, and suggested
that should there prove to be water
enough to irrigate other lands, it
might be possible to adjust things sat
isfactorily with the Land and Water
company and still make more profit
than could be derived from the irri-
cation of Hansen butte. George Har-
land replied that should it be deemed
well to irrigate lands on the Sal
mon tract as suggested, even greater
construction work would be needed
than would be required at the butte.

Editorial Correspondence

BOISE. Jan. 11.-Buhl county is
Knocking at the doors of the legisla-
ture for admittance. Fred Nihart, the
Veteran west end legislator, father OF
the Buhl county idea, is here on the
lob with his pet measure, feeling our
the sentiment of the members of the
fourteenth session with respect to the
creation of new counties, doing little
quiet lobbying and, no doubt, seeking
some auspicious avenue for the en-
trance of the bill into the senate or
house.
It is safe to say that no member OF
the Twin Falls county delegation will
stand sponsor for or even introduce
the bill, all members having pledged
themselves against the proposition OF
dividing Of Twin Falls county. and the
campaign having been waged with
that issue in the foreground. AS the
result of the campaign Nihart was de-
reated in his candidacy for the legis-
ature, but his ardor for county di-
Hsion was not dampened thereby, and
he is now occupying a conspicuous
seat in the so-called third house,
awaiting his opportunity.
There is considerable speculation
here as to who will introduce the
Buhl county measure, and whether 1t
will come from the Democratic or the
Republican side. Nihart is a Repub-
lican and as the Republicans are in
the minority, it is suggested that he

way.
Speaking of the subject next to his
heart, in an interview published In the
Capital News, Mr.. Nihart said:
NINETY per cent Of the voters in
the territory seeking to become new
county voted in favor of it's crea-
~tion. We have the assessed valuation

BUFFALO Bill" FINDS THE
"HAPPY HUNTING GROUNDS"
The Curtain Rung Down Upon the
Long and Wonderful Career of tue
Veteran Scout and Snowman.

With the news, by wire, of the
death, in Denver, at noon yesterday
of William F. Cody, better known to
both old and young-especially to the
latter-as Buffalo Bill" there is
ended one of the most strange and
romantic careers developed in this
new and wonderful country. Born near
Davenport, Iowa, seventy-three years
ago, Cody, as a child, went with his
parents to the far west, where his
nayfe and fame as pioneer, hunter and
/cut became not only nation, but
world wide. There he served various
generals as a most intrepid dispatch
bearer and scout; and there he earned
the sobriquet which stuck to him
through life in an actual buffalo-kill-
ing match with the strongest COM
petitor who could be found.
>>Mr. Cody was also a regularly en-
liste1 soldier in the Civil War and a
member OF the Grand Army of the
Republic; in connection with which
1t will be recalled by Twin Falls
people generally, and by the meri-
oers of the organization named in par
icular, that on his last visit to this
,ity, less than two years ago, with
he Sells-Floto Circus, the local Post
J. A. r., met him at the station and
ode with him in the street parade
\ courtesy which he greatly appre-
lated and abundantly reciprocated.

HARRY IHAW CUTS
THROAT WITH RAZOR
United Pressl

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 11.-Harry
Thaw cut his throat in an apartment
house here today. He was terribly
mutilated, first cutting his throat and
then slashing his wrists with razor.
He begged to be sent to st. Mary's
hospital and then lapsed into unc IN
sciousness. The ambulance reached
the hospital at o'clock Thaw was
weaker as a result OF the trip. DR.
Kirby, who applied first aid, reported
that the condition of the patient was
grave. The sensational attempt at
suicide ended the nationwide search
instituted after the issuance of an in
dictment charging him with kidnap-
ping and flogging Frederick Gump,
Kansas City boy, of nineteen years.
1t is learned that criminal action
against Thaw was intended.
