TWIN FALLS GETS
THE CONGRESS

The annual meeting of the Idaho
Irrigation congress will be held at
Twin Falls January 2S and "a, it
was announced Tuesday by Will H..
Gibson of the Idaho public utilities
commission, president of the con-
gress.
officers and directors of the con-
gress, he said, have decided to ac-
cept the offer of the Twin Falls
chamber of commerce to hold the
meeting in that place.
All irrigated sections of the state
viii be interested in the program,
which is now being worked out by a
committee headed by ]. C. Wheelon,
manager of the Twin Falls Company,
Mr.. Gibson said.
Departing from the usual discus
sions held at these meetings, the con-
gress this year will lay particular
stress on diversified farming and bet
ter marketing facilities, with a view
of wider distribution of farm prod
ucts and the elimination of conges-
ton in large market centers.
Heretofore, Gibson said, the dis
cussions have been devoted to prob
lens having to deal with the science
of irrigation and the maintenance Of
canals and bitches. These subjects
will not be overlooked, but market
ing and diversified farming will be
stressed.
In announcing the dates of the
congress Mr.. Gibson said:
"We desire to extend to every ir-
rigated section of the state most
cordial invitation to be represented
at the Twin Falls meeting by ac-
tual dirt farmers, officers, directors
and members of canal companies and
irrigation districts, representatives OF
commercial bodies and others. The
congress in the past has devoted its
energies largely to physical prob
lens having to do with the high erol
production per acre Of irrigated land
In the coming session we want to dis
cuss and adopt ways and means Of
securing more money for the farmers
on the irrigated acres. Idaho does
not want to see her famous bake
potato drop out of the markets; heI
prune and apple orchards destroyed
Yet, unless the grower can secure
more for his efforts we may expect
these results"

Unite all the works of his hands
Since Jesus, our Savior, was slain
Day dawns in the far heather
lands.
Oft over the wide rolling main
Unappall'd by the tempests severe
Gods servants with rapture proclaim
Lo Jesus the Savior is here.
Alone as we pensively stray where
Silence and solitude reign
Subdue our vain hearts, Lord we
pray,
And help us the truth to maintain.

p. u. Decision in
A. & X Ry. Fatal
Accident on Oct. 3
At Farmingdale

The Public Utilities Commission in
a decision handed down Wednesday
in the matter of the Androscoggin &
Kennebec Railway Company ACCT
dent Oct. at Farmingdale, which re-
suited in the death of Frederick Ash
ley Dill, states that the accident re-
suited from the failure of the driver
of the automobile to appreciate the
fact that he was about to pass over
railroad crossing, Notwithstanding
the fact that both he and his COM
panion were familiar with the locality
and must have known, had they Civ
en- any attention to the matter at
all that there was a crossing at that
place. Mr.. WEIGH evidently became
confused in the fog and darkness,
and in his attempt to avoid collision
with another automobile he ran dir
ectly into the approaching electric
car, the decision asserts.
On October 3, 1928, about lilo p.
NJ, Ashley WEIGH and Frederick
Ashley Dill, who were riding in an
automobile driven by Mr.. Welch, COL
lided at Grants Crossing at Farming
daleSwith Androscoggin g. Kennebec
passenger car No. 1872, which left
Gardiner for Augusta at II P. NJ,
continues the decision. The night
was very foggy, so that it was diff
ficult to see. The young men were
proceeding towards their homes in
Gardiner, and as they came down the
hill towards the crossing, Mr.. Welch
saw light ahead, which he thought
was an automobile with only one
headlight. He attempted to get out
foV ,,,. rl,f I, 4
side of the road. in order to pass the
his car at the rate of twenty five
miles per hour. and when within
thirty or thirty five feet of tho ap-
preaching light he found out his mis-
take, and then for the first time
knew that an electric car was ap-
preaching and was about to pass over
the crossing. He applied his brakes
and attempted to stop his car, but it
was too late to avoid the collision
and the automobile struck the cleo
trio car nearly head-on.
The State road crosses the cleo
trio car track at this crossing at u
very acute angle, and the crossing
planking over the highway is ap-
proXimately 100 feet long, so that the
light Ots the electric car in the dark
ness and fog seemed to Mr.. WEIGH
to be the light of the automobile
coming along the highway. The
electric car whistled Tor the cross
ing and had diminished it's speed
when about to pass over the crossing,
so that at the time of the accident,
according to the testimony of the
motorman. the electric car was al
most stopped, and according to the
testimony of the other witnesses, it
was not proceeding at rate of more
than from five to eight miles per
hour. AS a result of this collision,
both the young men who were in the
automobile were quite severely in
jured, and they were taken immed-
lately to the Gardiner hospital. Mr..
Dilrs injuries were so severe that
he died the next morning.

100 Per Cent Record
Sought on r, +. d.

Some rivalry exists among the
carriers on the Augusta Post Office
rural free deliveries as to who shall
report the first 100 per cent. perfect
equipment as required by the U. s.
Post Office Department.
A late issue of the Postal Bulletin
publishes the list of II r. F. D.
routes where all patrons have COM
piled with the postal requirements
that rural boxes and posts be painted
white and the name of the patron
be painted in black block letters.
The Department maintains an honor
roll of rural carriers who have
secured the cooperation of patrons
to the extent of having all boxes
painted and lettered.. The list, last
published includes four routes in
Missouri: five in Indianna, one in
Iowa and three in Texas.
