SIX MILES.

The recent survey for the w | &
S. railroad from Payette to the Weis-
er canyon is beyond donbt as good
in every particular as can be, and the
line as to alignment, grade and dis
lance, the very best possible to OBJ
tain. 1t shows that the distance
from Payit TO the same point in the
Weiser Canyon is trife over six
miles further than from Wciser, and
owing to the rough character Of the
country the cost OF construction per
mile would greatly exceed the cost
per mile from Weiser, even were it
the same distance. Expense of oper-
alton would also be proportionntly
greater by reason of increased curry
atmre. heavier grades, added distance,
extra mileage OF trainmen, extra coal
and wear and tear on train, extra
section crew and extra taxes on six
miles, What the particular advan
tages offered by the Payit route to
offset the above differences We have
NO means Of knowing. There re-
nsssms the possible hope that in the
great day when the secrets of all
hearts shall be made known, this
may pop up. Wait

LET US BUILD 1T.

The interest manifested hy all
classes Of people in this county re-
garding the construction Of u line OF
railway from some point on Snake
river to the timber and mineral dis
trict only hundred miles north. is
the very best evidence that the road
is needed, and that it would prove
itself the prime factor in making the
agricultural resources of the valley
available and valuable to their fullest
extent, because it would at the same
time develope so many industries in
tile mountain sections now dormant
through lack Of transportation facili
ties, and to carry on which popu-
lation would be gathered, and mar
ket established where all surplus
products Of the farm, garden or or
chard could be disposed of without
paying out half its worth for trans.
portation- But this part of the
question, as well rs the future per-
manent wealth of the country. and
the feasibility of construction have
long ceased to be matters Of coniec-
ture among well informed persons
So the only thing that remains to be
settled is how to accomplish the de
sired end. For years we have been
shouting our own praises and plead
Ing like mendicants for some charita-
BILE easterner to come in and accept
what we had TO offer, build that in
significant hundred miles and give
the people the privilege of paying
tribute forever to something and for
something that might as we'll be
owned and controlled at home. And
why not? The subsidies that have
been offered by Weiser to unknown
(and rs far as heard from, irresronsi
hie) parties, II put In the hands of an
honest and earnest local company,
would build the road. Beyond
question such Il project would receive
far greater support than any such MS
we are now afflicted with, whose sue
cess, so far, has been to disgust the
people with their methods, and bring
the country into disrepute. Now, if
proper home company could be or
Ranized and the business commenced
rs it should beat the foundation
and built up-the matter would soon
assume proper business form, and
what was done and acquired would
be ~ our own hands. This is the
solution OF the question, for what is

following letter, regarding the dis
tribution Of public documents:
Enron TIE SIGNAL.
Dear Slr;-''My experience with gov
eminent publications is thai but yer, few
of them reach people who take any inter-
est in them. This is owing to faulty
system of disiri button. The publications
sent out by the government are of The
greatest value To the people. and would
be appreciated and accomplish great
deal o good. ii they were properly dis
iribulcd They nre MI educational in
character. and in their intent md scope
Some are OF benefit to farmers, others 10
miners; some treat on topics of interest to
nborers. and others to the professional
men; some are Of value to educators, and
oihcrs 10 statisticans. A Congressman
distributes these works among his constit-
uenis 10 the best of his judgment, and
with all the care he can exercise, yet in
Vulnerable mistakes are made.

mining in Alturas County, on barren
mountain side, ut an altitude of between
seven thousand and eight thousand feet

their first choice. IT there is enough 10

PROVO. UTAH,

Sheriff Storrs returned yesterday
from Colorado, whore he went to
arrest J. G. Weeks, who he believes IL
the Pelican Point murderer. As has
been previously announced. Weeks II
is wanted in Fteshwater. Park county.
Colorado, under the name of Il. c.
Case, for the murder of II man by the
name of Champion on January 18th.
1926. There is no room Tor any doubt
about Case and Weeks being the same
person. as the photograph Of Case
ana his hand writing show beyond
question. Case. however, has not
been arrested The Park county au-
thorities have offered $3.50 for his
arrest, and claim he Is under suryeil-
ance OF detectives in or near Delnhia.
Indiana, and that his apprehension Is
sure, but for some unaccuuntable rea-
son they refuse to give sheriff
Storrs the particulars or any reason
for their reticence in regard to the
matter. Sheriff Storrs expects to re-
ceiye word of the arrest Of Case any
day. The officers of Park county claim
there can be no question of their abil-
ity to convict Case. There are three
other men held on the charge OF MUIR
dering Champion, but the main OBJ
ject of their detention Is to secure
them as witnesses against Case; two
of them saw Case bury the clothing
OF Champion. The cause that led to the
hllllilE VI CHAMPION rs DtlleNeu 10
be a disagreement over mining
claim which Case was interested and
which was partly on ground claimed
by Champion.
As an illustration of Cases nerve"
If he is guilty Of the murder of
Champion, he first called attention to
the disappearance Of Champion and
with party of citizens went to the
Champion ranch where the body was
dicovered buried in Il manure Lile.
Case pr0bed the wounds In Cramp-
toms head with pencil: he also sat
on the coroner's jury and wrote the
verdict, which was to the effect that
Champion came to his death at the
hands of parties unknown. After he re-
manned In Freshwater and pursued
his business as a promoter of rail-
road and mining Enterprises up to a
month or two ago when he went To
Chicago.
Since Sheriff Storrs returned he has
Obtained positive proof that the man
who was at Hayes's ranch under the
name of Stevens, and who was last
seen there on February II. 1895, was
Weeks. Sheriff Storrs narrowly missed
being in the Rio Grande wreck at New
Castle on the night OF the 9th. He
happened to meet "A friend in Denver
who detained him long enough To miss
the Inflated train for which he is
now very grateful.
