Make 1t the Main Line.


Editor Gazette.
The following plausible figures were
made yesterday by railroad man: "Why
doesn't the Texas and Pacific make the
TranScontinental the main line? 1t is nine
.Vsi3l8 shorter than the line via Marshall,
and Dallas, and runs through a
much better country. and yet all business to
and west of Fort Worth goes by the south
ern line, which is nine miles further. Did
YOU ever think how much it cost the COM
pany to run these nine extra miles each
year? There are on an average twenty
trains day the year around over that line.
These trains average fifteen cars each. The
extra wages paid for these nine miles are
$50 every year. This extra distance
wears out fourteen cars and one engine and
tender and causes an outlay of $1,000 for
coal. Take into consideration the loss of
property by accidents and the damage suits
incurred in running those l09,500 useless
miles every year. that apparently small ex-
ira distance does not cost the Texas and
Pacific railway company much less than
Sl00 900 annually. Why they don't make
this the main line is an unsolved problem. :"

of Mr. Chase's, who drew the check "Jee''
thought a little strange of this, and asked
Trolling why it was SO. Trolling laughed
and said, "Oh, go on, what's the matter
with youl" He being SO well known, the
check was taken and Trolling departed, and
when the check was presented for payment
there was hitch, and the whole thing
came to light. Trolling made himself
scarce, but did not leave the city.
The officers We're put on his
trail and kept a sharp lookout for him.
They could have arrested him before yes
terday, but desired to fasten the matter Sc
curely before they pressed the button, and
yesterday afternoon Officer Biddeker laid
the hands of the law on Trolling. He took
it coolly for a while, but finally owned up,
and said he had spent tine money. He was
taken 10 Jail, where he is to-day.
Trolling is German boy. slightly de-
formed, his back having perhaps been
broken or in some way injured, very low of
build, and has pleasant countenance, and
was thought by all to be all honest, upright
boy and was never without job, being in
trusted with the collection of monthly bills
for the various ice companies for which he
worked

to the bank, and payment was
refused because w. B. Wheeler's indorse-

then took the check to the restaurant run
by Bill and Joe,'' and offered it in payment
for something or other, receiving the
change. Mr.. Wheeler's name appeared on
the face of the check instead. as is custom

Boise CITY would do we'll to thor
oughly inform herself in regard to
the nature of the route over which it
is proposed to build the State road
from Long valley to Horseshoe Bend
via Dry Buck. The great majority
of the people of Long valley consider
the route as laid out from Long val
ley down the North Fork canyon to
Smiths ferry, as a rough, expensive
and impracticable route, and no
shorter than the present road via
Round valley, which is on the east
side of the river. The State money
will build only small portion of the
road from Long valley to the Bend.
the remaining portion the people of
Boise City propose to put through.
The fourteen miles of proposed road
mentioned can be no benefit to the
capital, and will be expensive to con-
struct. That piece of road would
be thrown onto this county to be kept
in repair. AS it will not shorten the
route to the capital, and would be an
expense to this county to keep in re-
pair, and is not demanded by Long
valley-no town, section or county
could be benefited by its construo-
ton.
