The state convention should have
finished its work, and made no excep
tion in favor of Lansdon and Hastings
■when cutting heads on the state ticket.
The many friends of Miss S. Belle
Chamberlain on thist tract will fully
accord with the state convention in
again endorsing her for the office of
superintendent of school and will be
prepared to give her a good, big ma
jority.
From this date The Times Printing
and Publishing Company will conduct
a strictly union shop. Anything that
this paper can legitimately do to ad
vance the mutual interests of the firm
and the union will be done just so
long as right and justice for employer
and employe is maintained. The two
Interests can, if acting from honest
motives, be of untold benefit to each
Other in protecting the wages of the
printer, and in protecting the em
ployer against incompetent labor and
low prices.
Every day the secretary of the Com
mercial club, Mr. Bainbridge, receives
letters from some man or firm asking
the club to get some concession for it
in order that some private business
can be installed in this city. One busi
ness man put it very aptly this week
in discussing the subject, when he
said: "Twin Falls is past the experi
ment stage and does not need to coax
private business enterprises to locate
here," It Twin Falla has not proven
her right to be called a fixture by its
solid business houses and public im
provements, then to the man who still
has to be shown, a flat refusal should
be given him. Twin Falls don't need
him. The business men who have al
ready located here came without bonus
and without any promises whatever
and have since coming worked out
their own destinies and struggled to
ward a better and bigger Twin Falls,
even at a personal loss. Why should
these pioneer businejs men. through
the Commercial club which they have
supported, be asked to pave the way
and feather the nest for some other
man to come in and take the cream of
the tract's business? This, of course,
does not apply to institutions of pub
lic benefit that could not for several
years, be self-supporting. When a
sugar company, worth several millions
asks for a bonus which, in comparison
to its capital stock, is a mere drop in
the bucket, it looks as though it was
only trying to do a little grafting be
fore entering a field in which it has
already made plans to invade.
One of the most important offices in
the county is that of county commis
sioner, and one that should occupy the
attention of the voter during the com
ing election. Upon the business ability
and integrity of the county commis
sioner rests the whole question wheth
er the affairs of the county be admin
istered economically, or whether ex
travagance shall prevail. It is in the
power of the commissioner to Insist
that the officers do their duty or else
suffer for neglect by loss of salary. It
is in the power of the commissioner
to insist that vouchers be made out by
every official before any bill is allowed
for expenses. It is the duty of the
commissioner to see that every cent
of money spent on roads and bridges
be used to the utmost extent. They
have the power to cut down on over
loaded bills and against their decision
there is little hope of appeal. In fact,
the commissioners stand every mo
ment of their term as the guardians of
the taxpayer and it behooves the tax
payer to see that his guardians are
men of known probity and acumen.

Kimberly was visited by a hot fire
Sunday morning, which burned to the
ground the store of the Kimberly Mer
cantile company, the residence of Mr.
Breckens, and the rooming house of
Syretto and Caveness. The cause of
the fire is attributed to the circus train
setting fire to a pile of rubbish near
the track, and the high wind fanning
the flames thus started until the build
ings caught fire. The fire evidently be
gan in the Mercantile store and was
burning fiercely before discovered.
The inmates of the rooming house
and residence were forced to leave
hurriedly and one man, C. HiH. lost
everything, even to a sum of money
carried in his coat pocket. The post
office was situated in the Mercantile
building and it was only by strenuous
efforts on the part of Harlan Fletcher
that the mail was recovered, with the
exception of the outgoing sacks. The
house of Mr. Beesmeyer, about 100 feet
south of the store building, had a very
narrow escape and was badly scorched
by the intense heat. A tent has been
erected as temporary quarters for the
postoffice.
The Kimberly Me-cantile building
was the property of the Norton estate
of Rock Creek, and was partially in
sured, as were the other buildings and
the stocks destroyed. Manager Breck
ens of the Mercantile company, has
moved his family into the mill 'ware
house temporarily, while a new resi
dence is being constructed.
