SUBSCRIPTION $12.00 PER YEAR. TO THE ROAD TO CONTACT B. Pern & Brings Good New From Fast. KRUTTSCHNITT HAVE PROMISE FOR THE EXTENSION. Work Will More Than Likely Start In Early Spring—Will be Big Boost for County. The building of the railroad from Rogerson to Contact is one of the activities of the coming spring, according to the news brought to the Twin Falls Commercial club by I. B. Perrin, who returned from New York, Tuesday. While in that city Mr. Perrin was in consultation a number of times with Julius Kruttschmitt, vice president of the Union Pacific in regard to various matters of moment to the Twin Falls country, and as a result he returned home more optimistic than ever over the future of this country. "The moneyed interests of the east are turning toward Idaho for investments, and the Twin Falls country will reap the benefit." "I predict a year of wonderful prosperity for this country, and as soon as spring opens, I expect to see great activity here. Among other things, I believe the Harriman lines will begin the construction of the Rogers-Contact railroad, because Mr. Kruttschnitt practically gave me that assurance. The money is ready, and about all that remains is for the people of the Twin Falls country to show their willingness to help the project along by giving it their moral support. A little enthusiasm just now on the part of the public, and perhaps some data on the probable tonnage and other statistics of value from the Twin Falls Commercial club would hasten matters considerably. During the past fortnight, Mr. Krutt Schnitt was supplied with considerable data regarding the development of copper properties in Contact, and the advisability of building the road from Rogers to the camp. Mr. Krutt Schnitt has referred the communication to A. L. Mohler, president of the Oregon Short Line and has baked him to investigate the question of the possible building of the road. A large number of Twin Falls people are interested in Contact, and these are all enthusiastic over its future, provided transportation is secured. Enough ore is in sight and has been blocked out to keep a railroad busy hauling it out, and as soon as a railroad is built there will be hundreds of men start to work on their claims. At present, they are doing only assessment work, but they have seen enough to make them realize there is enormous wealth concealed in the mountains around Contact. The building of the road into Contact will be of immeasurable value to Twin Falls, as all supplies would necessarily go from here to Contact and intervening territory, and the ore would be shipped through here. In the event of the extension of the line onto Cobre or Valley Pass, the Twin Falls country will have an outlet for its products sufficient to consume practically everything raised on the tract. This would also put Twin Falls 300 miles nearer to San Francisco, and open the markets of that city to the tract. Domestic Science Department Interesting Year. Make The members of the domestic science department of the Twentieth Century Club make their second "home industry" visit Wednesday afternoon. They first went to the home of Ida's home flour and saw the modern flour making processes from the time the wheat was dumped into the pit until it went into the car as Ida's flour. Manager Brechen ridge thoroughly explained the complicated machinery and showed the wheat at that time went through the various machinery, devising into pure, white flour. When planning the room where there was no defers, the sentinel, one of the most interesting features of the program was the piano solo, "A Song of the World," by the Schubert symphony club and ladies' quartet. The quintet of players in the club, Miss Corder, banjo; Miss Raven, mandolin; Mr. Purcell, mandolin, and Miss Weatherington and Mrs. Purcell, guitars, played charmingly, their first number being Mendelssohn. Hans' well-known wedding march, their second number a medley of familiar airs, and their last number a group of familiar airs, and their last number a group of beautiful waltzes. The quartet showed a wonderfully pleasing blending of voices, the ensemble being almost perfect. The numbers were well selected and specially arranged for the quartet, Schubert's serenade being one of the gems of the evening. The solo numbers introduced Leita Corder, first soprano, who has a voice that astonished as well as delighted the entire audience. Clear, pure, high, with a perfect enunciation, Miss Corder's notes were at times almost birdlike in their purity, then full and round as the volume of tone was brought out. Miss Corder has splendid control over her breathing, which enabled her to produce the best effects with her voice. This was noticed especially in the art from Verdi's "Traviata." She certainly has a future if she continues her musical studies. The appealing quality of a contralto voice is always a delight, and Lovie Zendt Purcell's rich tones were especially good in DeKoven's "Nita Ghaena." Thomas Valentine Purcell's violin solos were particularly well received, as was his mandolin solo also. Mr. Purcell is a composer of a number of popular songs, including some sacred songs, as well as being a violinist of note. The closing number of the entertainment introduced the singers, accompanying themselves on their special instruments, giving three lilting numbers of Strauss, "Sunlight," "Twilight" and "Morning." The numbers were arranged by Mr. Purcell. Each number on the program was liberally encored and the response was most gracious. The two readings by Anna Pearl Weatherington added a novelty to the program, and were well received. Her monologue, "Scene in a Beauty Parlor," was particularly good.—Statesman.

The measure passed is known as house bill No. 35, drawn by Davis, and incorporates nearly everything of the measure vetoed by the governor the first of the week. The tax commission is not in the bill. The report also states that the legislature adjourned upon receipt of the news of the governor's signature. GREAT SALE OF HORSES.

IUWUY VMS REVENUE NIL Submitted to Him by the Legislature— Members T hreaten to Adjourn. By joint resolution both houses of the Idaho legislature have decided to adjourn this evening at 6 o'clock and return home. So far as the actual amendment of the revenue law, the state is in exactly the same position now as it was prior to the convening of the extra session, and unless something unusual occurs, conditions will not have changed materially by the time the gavels of the presiding officers fall for the last time this evening. The veto of house bill No. 31 by Governor Hawley yesterday afternoon, although anticipated by some of the members, came as a kind of a shock to the majority of the legislature, who had the impression, born of desire largely, that the governor would be satisfied with half a loaf rather than no bread. In other members it roused fierce anger. This was particularly true of the insurgent members among the Republicans in the lower house, who at once became the most rabid opponents of the governor's demands. House Will Try Again. The Republicans of both the house and senate met in caucus last night. The house Republicans after considerable discussion decided to make more effort at securing remedial legislation. Before adjournment was taken, which occurred shortly after 10 o'clock last night, a plan of action was decided on, practically as follows: House bill 35, now on third reading, will be Introduced, with amendments. The bill now provides for an appropriation of $5,000 to be expended by the state board of equalization in the employment of experts and the payment of their expenses to investigate and report to the state board in regard to valuations of property, and assessments as made in the various counties, so that the state board may have data upon which to base its equalization. Will Take in Davis Bill. The amendments will include house bill 31 in its entirety, except that the measure will be in regard to the classification of property, as provided in house bill No. 1, providing for the spreading of the full cash value of property on the assessment rolls, and clarifying the provisions of house bill 31 in regard to bank assessments. The senate caucus was not in session so great a length of time as the house caucus, and reached the conclusion that their action would to an extent depend upon the conclusion reached by the house caucus, with the proviso, that the extra session of the legislature should adjourn today. The clock may be conveniently stopped toward the close of the day, and may remain stopped for a number of hours, but final adjournment should be reached by 6 o'clock this evening by the clock. Charge of Bad Faith. The discussion in the senate caucus was reported to be somewhat spirited. Some of the members who had tried hardest to reach a basis for legislative service to the people, as between the wishes of the governor and the beliefs of the Republican members, were not chary in charging bad faith on the part of the governor in permitting the Republicans to believe that a basis of agreement had been reached, when in point of fact as had at no time intended.

News Comes us a Surprise to Many Business Men in the City and County. Carl J. Hahn, cashier of the Twin Falls Bank & squarely out as a candidate for the governorship of the state, subject to the primaries and will make the fight until the result is settled by the voters. Mr. Hahn when interviewed by the Times reporter stated that the matter had been under consideration for several days and it was only decided Thursday, when he consented to allow his name to be used. Although the northern part of the state is claiming that the candidate should come from that section, there is a strong feeling springing up all over the state that unless the north presents a good strong man that they must let the plum go and Mr. Hahn is being pushed by his friends here as a candidate if it should come to the south of the state. As a pioneer citizen of the county and as a banker of this city since the early sagebrush days, Mr. Hahn has been actively identified with the political and business circles of the new community and is probably as well known as any man in the county with a large acquaintanceship all over the state due to his banking connections. Twin Falls county has not been demanding anything in the way of state plums since its formation four years ago and is fully entitled to anything which its favorite sons desire to after.
