BUILDING FALLS OFF.
Railroads Do Not Show Increase
Hoped For This Year.


In its next issue the Railway Age
Will have an exhaustive review of the
railroad construction. which. it claims,
has not progressed so rapidly for the
first six months of this year as had
been hoped. The Age, in commenting
upon this condition, viii say:
Railway building in the United
States has not progressed as rapidly
during the first six months of 1903 as
had been expected. The unrest in the
labor world, due to the epidemic of
strikes, and the high prices of track
material have caused the postpone
ment OF much important work, and
the difficulty OF securing rails has con-
tinued. making it impossible to lay
track as fast as the roadway was COM
pleted- The more important lines which
were started last year or earlier are
being pushed to completion as rapidly
as conditions viii permit. but other
new projects are making slower prog
reSS.
The new mileage completed during
the first half of 1902 amounted to 2,314
miles. and the total for the entire
twelve months of that year aggre-
fidently expected that the track laid in
1903 would exceed 5000 miles. but the
figures for the first six months do not
make II certain that such a result will
be attained. Our returns for the six
months. are not entirely complete, but
II is believed that the reports yet to be
received viii not materially increase
the present figures, which show 2,221
miles of track laid from Jan ] to June
1903. on rs lines. in thirty-eight states
and territories

When seen yesterday in regard to the
matter Judge O. w Powers, who is the

said he had received no details Of
the arrangement from the company,
therefore he could not state definitely
whether the compact meant that It
would build into the city. He had every
reason to believe that that has long
since been the intention of the company
and that the concessions received from
the railroad made the contemplated
plan more feasible now than it ever
had been before

MARSHAL is THREATENED.
Harry Ford, Formerly of This City,
in Danger at PocateIlo.

The members of a mysterious society
that purpOrts to exist in POcatellO are
after the head Of Marshal Harry Ford
of that city. Mr.. Ford was formerly
a member of the police force in this
city, but remove dto Poca tellO and was
placed at the head of the department
there
A few days ago Mayor Steely' Of PO-
catellO received an anonymous note
telling him that the members of a so
ciety called the NJ. @. Of O. had de-
cided that they did not want Mr.. Ford
as marshal and demanded that the
mayor remove him. The note stated
that it would have to be done damned
quick or the society would give the
mayor and the police what the doctor
ordered" The note was simply signed
M. G. of o."
Efforts have been made to learn the
source of the note and what the mys-
ceriOus society is. but they have been
Unavailing. Mr.. Ford has not been re
moved and the citizens and police are
waiting for something to be precipi-
tated by the society. Citizens of PO-
catelIo seem to think that the society
is an organization of toughs that the
police have been after for some time
past.

Of the roads embraced in the system

The effect of the trouble is already
felt here by the reduced rate to Chi

is brought about as a result of the
refusal of the Wisconsin Central to

brought TO bear. on il for a withdrawal
of the IS rate which it established.

Great Salt lake, making Investigations

Evidences were found which are
taken as proof that in the great lake

NEW TYPE OF HEADLIGHT.
Recently Put Into Use on the Bur
lington Locomotives.

A new type of headlight for railway
engines has been adopted by the Chi
cagO. Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway
and it promises to have a very ex-
tended application among railways. It
is an electric headlight which, IN ad-
diiOn to sending a powerful ray along
the tracks in front of the engine, also
projects a powerful vertical beam. The
vertical beam makes a very decided
Illumination in the heavens, so much so
that it is possible not only to detect the
presence of an engine, but also in many
cases to follow its path and determine
which way it is heading.
An engineer is, by this means, placed
in touch with the movements of other
trains in his vicinity and is enabled TO
detect their presence where, If they
carried ordinary horizontal beam head
lights. he would be unaware of thur
location.

Idaho Town of Two Years a
Flourishing Place.
MANY BUSINESS HOUSES
SUGAR LATEST INDUSTRY TO BE
ADDED.

Rigby, Ida, June 27.-The town Of
Rigby, Fremont county. Idaho, is but
two years old. The above cut Illus
trates the growth and development of
the fertile country composing eastern
Idaho. The town today has about
thirty business establishments, with
others in process Of erection, among
which is a banking institution This
phenomenal growth and development IS
not the result Of a discovery Of any of
the precious metals, or a boom worked
up by real estate men, but is caused by
the settlement Of the large tract of eX-
cellent farming and well watered agri-
cultural land surrounding the town
The farmers here do not know what a
scarcity of water is. Each land owner
has the use Of several streams Of water
continuously if he desires There Is
no such JfinS 90 turns. In and about
Rigby the expenses for irrigation
amount TO from 10 cents to 20 cents
per acre. The valley is large and level,
