outsiders are more than anxious to
send in their money here.
lPOCATELLO SHOPS WILL OPEN
TUESDAY.
When The Herald stated that Super
fntendent McConnell's visit here meant
the opening of the Union Pacific shops,
and that those at Shoshone would be
moved here, bringing many families
lfrom that point, it was not mistaken. He
has been here the shops will be again
opened up next Tuesday, and this
means old-time prosperity to this city.
1t means even more. Mr. Mcconnell
and Master Mechanic Dunn next went
west with car '012' and yesterday were
at Shoshone arranging the transfer de-
tails. The shops here, when started
up, will be filled out by the old men
now in service and those who will be
brought down from Shoshone. / state
this in order that shopmen throughout
the country who are now out of en-
ployment. may not be led into error by
coming here expecting to ''catch on"
II plainly say, don't come unless you
have time and money that is drug to
you, for the trip would otherwise be in
vain.
NEW ROADS ARE NEEDED.
| What's the matter with the county
commissioners? No doubt these gem
tlemen are o. K, but they can best man
nest IL by getting concerted and imme-
date action so far as relating
to building, at slight cost, some
roads and bridges that are
needed - needed now - to bring
in trade that rightly belongs here. It
is not necessary in this article to call
your attention to the different localities
where new roads are needed-al resi-
dents are conversant with the require
ments, and to that end every resident
ana taxpayer should constitute himself
committee of one to get action" in
the matter while both the time and oc-
caslon are ripe. Such timely and unit
co actlon would bring in a trade yearly

ey so expended. If the county commits

RAILWAY WATER WORKS.
1 have to relate that the railway
company at this point own and on
crate their own waterworks plant, and
the storm converted it temporarily into
mudWorkS." The company plant is
crude in itself, and aside from furnish
ing water to all the shops and tanks
supplies the hotel and company houses
1t didn't supply the latter, however. for
some hours after the recent storm. as
the pipes could not we'll handle a
greater volume of mud than water.
The city waterworks were entirely
free from the scourge for several rea-
sons, as explained to me by manager
Cusack, who said: rains do not so
affect us, as our source of supply is
lar different, and then again, should
any sediment get in our conduits and
pipes, 1t would settle at the bottom of
some of the eight "syphens" on the
system. At any time when necessary.
we simply remove a plug in the bottom
of these, and the pressure soon frees
the line from any such accumulation
an advantage great in itself. Our
water supply is always clear, and after
the big storm you can see in what !
