At a recent election in small suburb
of this city a young man walked up 10
the polls. his face beaming with smiles
and his chest expanded TO few extra
inches anticipation of his first vote.
The judges looked at him and one
said: What do you want?" e Iwant
to vote" said the young man. You
don't mean to tell me you're 81" said
the judge. Don't tell me that, because
l know better" Well. ! guess I was i
years old yesterday" excitedly ex-
claimed the youth. You'll have to
show me some proof says the judge.
TIE young man Immediately rushed
home and in a few minutes came run
ming back with the family Bible under
his arm. Laying the book on the table
he opened TO the family record and
sure enough the date was there showing.

There he says. IT'S in the Bible

allowed to pass into the booth to make
out his ticket, and another young farm

up to TIE table and asked 10 be allowed
to vote.
Look here" says the judge. I know

thereupon told him he would have to
show the family Bible or some other
proof.
The young fellow looked puzzled for q

thoughts and said: WAL. be gosh.

BOISE ON MAIN LINE.
Short Line Requires 100000 Bonus
and Half Cost of Two Bridges.

Hon. c. j: Basset of Boise passed
through town yesterday ON his way to
San Francisco to welcome the return
ing Idaho volunteers. Mr.. Basset stated
that at the recent meeting between the
Oregon Short Line officials and the
committee from Boise in Salt Lake. the
Short Line made a definite proposition
to the Boise representatives in regard
to the proposed plan to place their city
upon the main line of the road The
railroad company agreed to carry out
the wishes of the Boise people on con-
dition that they raise $500, 900 in cash
and pledge themselves to share with
the railroad the cost of constructing
two new iron and steel girder bridges.
with stone abutments, one just east of
the city, the other to take the place of
the one now used for local trains be-
tween Boise and Nampa, the present
structure being too frail to stand the
extra weight of the heavy through
trains. 1t is estimated that these
bridges will cost in the neighbOrhoOd
of $4,000. In turn the Short Line
agrees to build a handsome stone sta
ton and to erect such shops as may be
needed, and TO purchase real estate to
be used for terminal facilities II is
expected that the Short Line will eX-
pend in all about 100000. The new line
Will probably leave the old one at ORCH
ard station, instead of at Owyhee, as
heretofore reported, and work will
commence as soon as the Boise commit
tee decide upon some plan whereby the
money can be raised. Popular sub
scription will be the method adopted,
as the city is decidedly averse to a new
bonding debt. A meeting Will be held
Saturday of this week and the money
will no doubt be Immediately sub
scribed by prominent business men and
work commenced on the cutoff about
Sept. /. One year is the time set for its
completion, so that Mr.. Basset thinks
there is no doubt about Boise being sit
uated on the main line by Sept. l. 1900
Mr.. Basset considers the proposition
made by the Short Line very equit-
able and reasonable one. They ask no
more than they are willing to give. and
their entry into the city will probably
enhance the value of real estate 90 per

ON TO THE COAST.
Burlington's Wyoming Extension
Will Cross State of Utah.
Special CorrespOndence.)


Wheatland, Wyo., Aug. 12.-Your cor
respondent recently visited one of the
burlington grading camps on the Al
lance Hartville line. and obtained in
formation which throws some light on
the ultimate intended destination of
the Burington's Hartville< road This
Hartville extension is nothing more or
less than a part of line which Will be
pushed on through Wyoming and Utah
to the Pacific coast during the next two
years. In the survey of this line, which
has penetrated far into the central por-
ton of wyoming, seemingly no consid-
Grafton has been paid to the cost of
making the road bed, the chief purpose
being to secure an easy grade, with
light curves. In the work of selecting
the roadbed the engineers have run
through hills and over ravineS as
though it were no trouble to move dirt.
and as though but one purpose was in
view-tf 1T of reaching a given point
over the straightest possible route, and
with the least possible grades.
At Fairbanks, Wyo.. the Hartviile
spur. which is now being constructed
by the Colorado Fuel & Iron company
from point on the Cheyenne & North
ern, three miles south of Badger sta
ton. will not cross the Burlington
tracks. but will run under the latter,
thus saving the loss of time in Operat-
ing trains which track crossings neces-
state.
..On to the coast seems to be the
watchword of the Burlington. and
while they are making no noise about
the matter, the work goes steadily on,
and with surprising speed.
