A. +. Caldwell, Indian agent Of tho
Fort Hall reservation, was notified
Tuesday Of a decision reached by tho
interior department which makes nee.
cssary another allotment Of Indian
lands on that reservation and will
postpone the opening OF the coded
lands for nearly year.
The allotment was made under an
old law. which gave each member Of
an Indian family eighty acres In cases
where such families had located on
ccded lands prior TO cessation and de-
sired to remain. Caldwell's ailot-
ments covered about seven thousand
acres.
Many land owners In and around
Pocatello protested agaiuat such allot-
ment on the ground that II would give
10 the Bannochs and shoshones more
land than they were entitled 10 aud
senator Dubois fled a protest with tho
Indian Office at the request Of Pocatello
residents
The secretary OF the interior ruled
that the allotmcnts must be made
again under the terms Of the Fort
Brldger treaty, which gives 100 acres
TO every man and wife In the tribes
who may have made home on the
eeded lands. The net result OF this
new order will be TO allot about
5000 acres 10 the Indians, or 1000
acres In excess OF the total number
OF acres embraced In the original allot-
mcnt.
Agent Caldwell says he shall not be-
gin the new work until the snow
leaves the ground In the spring, and
that II may take from thirty to sixty
days. In commenting on the new order
Agent Caldwell said that the Pocatello
protestants have stood Ia their own
light lie will proceed with the new
allotment at the earliest practicable
day.

Main Lines Into salt Lake city.
A dispatch from Omaha, Neb., Of the
9th, says; IL was given out today 10 a
semi-oillcial way at the Union Pacific
headquarters that the proposed cutoff
from Echo, Utah, to Salt Lake will be
built during the year.
II Is also stated that the Southern
Pacific, which now has its terminus at
Ogden, will also build a short line TO
Salt Lake around the southern end OF
the lake, thus cutting of nearly a hun
bred miles OF the distance TO the Pacific
coast.
Several lines have been surveyed, but
no definite action has been taken up TO
this time, owing to the extreme rough
ness OF the country, The original line
was run by the way Of Ogden and the
new cutoff contemplates direct route
TO Salt Lake.

Retain Oriental Trade.
The plan OF railroad campaigning to
be carried out by the Hartman roads
during 1909 was given out officially at
Omaha saturday, aud will result In the
expenditure Of from s25, 900, 900 10 $780,
900, 900 In improvements and exten.
slons. IL Is continuance Of the gem
eral plan OF putting the road In the
best possible physical condition be.
tween Omaha and san Francisco. but
efforts this year will be directed almost
wholly to that part Of the road west OF
Salt Lake and Ogden and the Oregon
Short Line. Twenty millions alone
will be used In improvements OF these
lines and the remainder 10 pushing
the extension OF the Salt Lake-Los
Angeles branch Of the Oregon Short
Line, which will be nearly or quite
completed before January LIST next.
Particular attention, however, will
be given to the extensions and im.
provements on the part Of the Short
Line. which completes with the Hill
system. The prime object. II is said,
is to put the road In position TO con.
troll the immense trade with the Orient
that is expected to be opened by the
new conditions In the East and In Ha-
wall. This trade is already beginning
to reach formidable proportions, and
the Union Pacific, It Is stated, Is pre-
pairing TO meet the competition OF the
northern lines. Tahtpart OF The road
way between Omaha aud Ogden has
been put In prime condition by the ex-
penditure OF $40, 100000 Ia improve
ments In the past Eve years. The
greater part Of this money has been
used In STRENGTHENING curves aud cut
ting immense hills and tunnels. thus
reducing grades to n degree that can
be overcome by the large engines with
out assistance.
The Union Pacific has long since
decided that It must have fast line to
the coast gateway, in order TO retain
It's hold on the Oriental trade" said
the official who explained the proposed
plan. "That traffic Is becoming greater
every pear aud Il was some years ago
that this scheme for complete over
hauling OF the system was adopted
The plan has been steadfastly adhered
10. 80 that now there Is the finest kind
OF railrond from Council Rluffs to og-
den. For that much OF the way we
now make fast time, but as soon AS we
get past Ogden we are compelled TO
slow up and maintain the reduced speed
all the rest Of tho journey. Improve.
ments on this line will be in the nature
Of reducing grades, taking out certain
curves pnd lessenlng others, and re-
ballasting the entire line.
These improvements will fix us for
the Oriental trade, which is something
enormous, especially to and from the
Philippines aud Japan. They will also
cover central California satisfactorily.
The other arm OF the work, meanwhile,
will be looking toward the improve
ment Of facilities OF getting into the
southern California business. The
Southern Pacific improvements are far
the most important, since they have
bearing directly on the gateway bust
ness, but this extension OF the Oregon
Short Line to Los Angeles is also big
proposition.
at will require between 400 and 500
miles more to reach Los Angeles, and
II is hardly probable that this can be
completed in 1909, although the effort
will be made
