Oregon Short Line to Erect a New
Structure in Idaho
WILL BE CENTRE OF TOWN.
MAY Purchase the Old remington
warehouse for The Purpose anu
Improve the Properly

Among the appropriations that have
been made by the oregon short Line
for improvements this year Is the cree
ton of new freight depot at Poca-
teilo. The present facilities for ham
ding goods at the Idaho railroad CEN
center have been for long time con-
sldered inadequate as the old freight
depot building is situated down the
track fully half mile from Center
street. The new freight house Is to be
situated close to the main street Of the
town and negotiations have been under
wax for some time past for the pur-
chase OF the old Remington warehouse,
which TANKS the track at this point.
While Mr.. Kiesel It is said, Is anxious
to sell the property, the Short Line oih-
cials are as yet undecided whether to
close the deal or build a new and up
to-date building on the property owned
BY the corporation adjacent 20 the
kiesel property. In either case a first
class depot VIII be the result, The mat
ter will be definitely decided within a
few days when General superintendent
Calvin viii issue the orders for the pre-
nmnary steps to be taken In the con-
structlon work.
The new freight depot Is to have a
floor space Of over 10000 square feet,
and Is estimated to cost In the neigh
borhood Of 5000

THE RAILROAD FIGHT.
Comments on the Union Pacific -
Northern Pacific Wall st. Struggle.

New York, May 1.-THE Tribune
says: How is Union Pacific going to
be affected by the contest now in prog
ress for control Of the Northern Pacific
is a question which is being discussed
with great interest by Wall street. III
Mr. Hartman and his associates sue
ceed In their endeavor TO obtain con-
troll OF the Northern Pacific the answer
to the question Ia comparatively sim
pie BY that operation the Union IA
cIfc through its control OF the North
ern Pacific would come virtually into
possession of the latter's one-half In
terest in the Burlington system and
position would be materially strength

as the street seems inclined to think
will be the case that Mr. Morgan and
Mr. Hin have obtained clear ma
jorty Of the Northern Pacific stocks, a
situation will be created which, In the
present temper Of the opposing forces
is thought by Wall street to be one Of
much gravity. For the Burlington con-
troll gives the Great Northern and the
Northern Pacific both paralleling the
Union Pacific on the north, an outlet Of
their own from Minneapolis and ST.
Paul TO Chicago and gives the North
ern Pacific also a direct outlet from
the Pacific coast 10 Kansas city, Oma-
Ia and other points in the Union Pa
clhc territory. The ST. Paul and North
western roads also find their interests
menaced by the Burlington deal, and
these companies which are in harmony
with the Union Pacific, are said to be

ticipatlon in control OF the Burling-

not the present contest viii be allowed
to develop into a general fight all along
the line, struggle which. II Is felt by
careful observers would be disastrous
IN the extreme. Such a conflict, 1t Is
pointed out. would not only embrace
the traus-continental lines and the
roads between the Mississippi and the
Rockies but might also spread TO the
eastern territory.
In view Of the vast possibilities OF
loss and disaster resulting from an
open breach between Mr. Morgan and
the other powerful interests referred
to, however, involving the complete
abandonment OF the community Of

HINTS TO FIRE FIGHTERS.
t. j lolly' District Manager Of the Board Of
Fire Underwriters on the Subject,
How TO Extinguish a Blaze When
There Is No Fire Departmental

H. j. Jolly, the local district manager

very useful hints to those who NAV bo

is more to the point, he also sivos some
practical hints which, If followed ont
would DO away with heavy fire losses
IN comparatively unprotected locaIi.

opportune time OF Offering advice 10
property owners and town trustees
ana suggesting inexpensive means of
extinguishing ncipient fires, and I'm
many cases preventing CONGREGATIONS
one of the best and cheapest Are
eStinguishers known, and one that
can always be relied on, Is to provide
casks filled with water with not less
than two pals 10 each cask, at least
two casks and four pals to each $500
square feet Of floor area, the casks OF
water to- have dissolved therein, 30
pounds OF common salt and three
pounds OF bi-carbonate of soda in each
cask; this solution VIII not freeze will
keep the water sweet and clean. and
adds greatly to the fire extingulshing
qualities The pals should have cone
shaped bottoms so that they would not
be useful for other purposes,
Home made hand grenades can be
cheaply provided by dlssoving twenty
pounds of common salt and ten pounds
OF nitrate OF ammonia IN seven gallons
OF water; pour this solution ir.o thin
bottles that must be tightly corked and
sealed to prevent evaporation.
In case OF fire the bottles must be
thrown near the flames so as TO break
the bottles and liberate the gas that is
formed In the bottle II burning ar
ticles are splashed with this solution
an incombustible coating Is formed and
the fire extlnguished.

SUPREME COURT OPINION.
case OF Postal Telegraph Cable Co.
VS.. Oregon Short Line.

A lengthy opinion was handed down
by the supreme court yesterday after

The Postal company organized under
the laws of Utah July a. 1899, and
filed its articles Of incorporation with
the clerk Of Salt Lake county and
the secretary OF state. 1t then COM

and Cache counties. but the demurrer
was dyerruled The case was tried
without jury and the issue found for
the Postal company with 800 damages.
The supreme Court finds that the ac-
ton arises IN Salt Lake and the other
four counties as a unit, all the land con-
shutting but one right of way. To
the argument Of the railroad company
that the Postal company Of Utah is not

the court finds that the Postal company
has complied with the laws Of Utah,and
It's corporation Is legal entity. Its au-
thority to exercise the power of emf

this proceeding. The business of teleg-
raphy, says the court, Is a quasi public
