The South Boise Railroad.

The building of the Idaho Mid
land railroad now seems an almost
assured fact. Monday a crowd Of
Boise people went out to break
the first ground" for the new road
that is destined to cut a great figure
in developing the varied interests
of Gilmore, Blaine, Custer and
Lemhi counties, and also rebound
to the great benefit of Boise city.
Tuesdays statesman gives an ex-
tended account of the initial pro-
ceedings, from which we extract the
following:
"The mnsic of the Midland" is
what some one aptly termed the
noise of the picks as they struck the
rocks yesterday in the first work
done on the Idaho Midland rail
road in the Boise canyon, about
nine miles above the city yesterday
afternoon. In the presence of a
number Of spectators the first spade
full of dirt on the Midland was
thrown by Mrs, T. w. Bates. the
promoter of that enterprise. About
100 Japs are on the ground at work
and more will be shipped in from
time to time and put to work.
you can say to the people" said
Mr. Bates, that the Midland will
be built; that the capital is assured
that is necessary to build it,"
o. e. Jackson, the general coun-
sci of the company, was master of
ceremonies, and made the opening
remarks. He was followed ply Mayor
Richards, n. }. Anderson and Maj.
Fred Reed, each of whom spoke of
the magnitude of the enterprise and
Mandatory of the promoter, Mr.. I.
w. Bates.
Mrs. Bates then took shovel and
digging into the ground threw the
dirt on the spot indicated by the
surveyors, amid the cheers of the
spectators. Mrs. Watson threw the
second shovel of dirt, Mr.. Bates the
third aud Mr. Watson the fourth.
AS soon as the visitors Gained
down the 100 Japs, who had beer
patiently waiting for the enthusiasm
and speechmaking to cease. bega,
their work, the noise of the picks
being appropriately termed the
music of the Midland"
Mr.. Bates said: "If some matters
regarding the right of way had beer
cleared up, we would have beer
working very close to Boise now
with 500 instead of 100 men,
The grade will be pushed up tn
canyon as fast as possible, and ther
will be from 500 to 600 more met
at work within 80 days.
The Midland company was OF
ganized about year ago with I
w. Bates as president, George S
Glover vice-president, E. O. Jack
son secretary and counsel, and II
e. Neal treasurer. These four, wit
Q James A. Pinnev, constitute tn
present board of directors.
In the light Of the above mov'
what do the people of Mountai
j.. Home propose doing to get the Mic
!. land to come this way?
