State Basket Ball
Tournament
Twin Is Defeated but Neither Dis
\ graced Nor Dismayed. Stood Third
Among Nine Teams. Had Fine Trip.

The Twin Falls High School basket
ball team returned Sunday from the
the first annual State High School
Basketball tournament held under the
direction of the University of Idaho
at Moscow. The team stood the long
trip well and gave a good account of
themselves in the tourney. They de-
feated the Sugar City team, the rep
resentative of the Blackfoot and Po
catello district in the preliminary
games in which five of the eleven
teams were eliminated. The second
game was with the strong Nez Perce
team who played Moscow for the
championship last year. The team
played a hard game losing by an 1S-
20 score, the winning basket being
made in the last half minute of play.
The Nez Perce team played the final
game with Moscow, the latter school
winning the tournament by 26-16
score over Nez Perce; leaving Twin
Falls with a good claim to third hon
ors. The Boise and Occur d'Alene
teams played good ball also. The
Twin Falls team found it rather diff
ficult to play their best game on the
large university floor fully twice as
kdTBe as luelT OWN W WuiCh oOihC VI
their opponents were accustomed but
on the whole made a creditable show
ing among the eleven teams entered.
The team wasssplendidly entertain
ed by one of the fraternity houses.
Phey were conducted among the vari-
GUS departments of the university and
enthused over the opportunities and
prospects afforded by college work.
At a meeting of the coaches OF the
Means attending the tournament a
state high school athletic organiza-
ton was formed to promote the ath-
letic interests of the state. Mr.. Blea-
master, physical director of the uni
versity, was elected president and
Coach Nafziger, of Twin Falls, vice
president. The university authorities
considered the tournament a very
successful affair complimenting the
teams attending on their good sports
manship and basketball ability.

The Impending Local Land Short
age, Labor and Other Matters
Handled at the Meeting Satur-
day Afternoon.

Stirred, possibly, by the pressing ne
cessity for increased sugar produc-
ton, so forcibly developed by the ad-
dress of DR.. Culbertson, last Thursday
night, a meeting was called for last
afternoon at the Farm Bu-
reau headquarters to give the matter
earnest and practical consideration.
The Farm Bureau president, Mr.. W. F.
Alworth, Secretary Mcpherson, Mr..
Edwards, manager of its commercial
department, County Agricultural
Agent Mclean, Mr.. Kirkman, repre-
senting the Sugar company, and a
goodly number of prominent farmers
and business men were in attendance.
After statement by Mr.. Mclean as
to the crying need for increased sugar
production-not on account of the
Sugar company, but for our country
and it's allies, and in order that the
local situation might be fairly and
squarely faced, a comparison was in
stituted between the number of acres
of sugar beets raised last year and
the number at present under contract
for the purpose. This developed the
astonishing fact that, in the territory
covered by the three sugar mills at
Twin Falls, Burley and Paul scant
one-third of last seasons acreage was
now in sight. And, when one reflects
that the great mill at Paul was last

MADISON, Wis, March 19.-The
political eyes of the nation today are
watching Wisconsins special senator
1al primary election. Because of the
loyalty issue at stake it is regarded
as the most important primary cleo
zion in the history of the state.
The polls opened early today and
excitement ran high not only here but
in Milwaukee and other cities in the
state.
Only secondarily a battle of candi-
dates, the contest is primarily a ref
srendum on the war.
Every vote for Irvine l.. Lenroot,
Republican, will be regarded re-
bHke for La Toilette. Every vote cast
for James Thompson, his Republican
opponent, will be considered an
endorsement of La Toilette and his
stand on the war.
While a big vote is predicted by
abe leaders of all parties, the i'm
passable condition of the roads makes

were compelled to go some place to
rest.
City Attorney Davies pointed out
that it would take as much evidence TO
revoke a license under the proposed
ordinance as it would to convict un-
der the prohibitory law and the cor
responding city ordinance and that the
law and the ordinance already in force
were stronger than the proposed or
dinance. Therefore, unless the city
wanted to raise revenue by a special
tax on one particular line of business.
the proposed ordinance was redundant
in character. On this statement it
was voted down.
The proposition to eliminate the
half rate for water for gardens was
taken up 1t was stated that many
took advantage of this to water a
great deal of lawn on account of a
little bit of garden. So the reduced
rate was cut out. The matter was
brought up by inquiry of the CONNER
cial club.
A little explanation relative to the
increased appropriation asked for the
sugar factory road was made by ]. w.
Hays and d. NJ Denton. The men
named had agreed to do the work
within the city for $500 in addition to
their own and other donations in time
and money, but the street commission
er had asked that the width of the
improved part of the street be in
creased and this led to an increased
cost amounting to the sum asked. The
council had previously allowed the
$500 and on explanation last night
allowed the balance. Mr.. Hays said
when they would continue the work in
the city further he would donate $50
He had already donated money and
given his own time.
! The council then entered into con
tract with Burns & Mcdonnell, prev
iously tentatively agreed upon Septem-
Der 1S, 1917, to pay $4,000 for super.
intendence, plans, ETC., and to retaiT
fifteen per cent until the work was
completed and tested satisfactorily
The call for bids, published elsewhere
in this paper, was then issued.
The plumbing notices are hereafter
to be filed by plumbers at the office o
the city clerk when they begin work
so that they can telephone to the in
spector when they need him.
When the other matters referred t.
above had been adjusted as indicated
and some bills allowed, the council ad
journed.

it is absent it is forgotten.
