RAILROAD TO COME
P. & !. N. Railway vii! Surely Elk.
tend to The Payette Lakes
Says General Manager.

Weiser, Ida, Nov. 24-As the
people of Washington Co. and the
central portion of the state gener-
ally, are interested in railroad ex-
tensions that open up new sections
for development, your correspond
determined to interview V.-P and
General Manager Heigho of the
P. & /. N. railroad regarding the
extension Of that road to the north.
An article appeared in your paper
a few days ago concerning the ex-
tension of the road, given to your
reporter by L. G. Wilkerson, of this
city, stating that under certain
conditions the road would be ex-
tended in the spring to Lardo and
possibly further.
Repairing to the Office of general
manager where we was pleasantly
received by Mr.. He!gho, your re-
porter asked if the reported inter
view with Mr.. Wilkerson was cor
rect. Mr.. Heigho said:
"While / have no doubt person.
ally that the p q l. N. railroad
will extend in the spring, yet no
body has been authorized to make
any definite statement in that con-
nection, nor have / any knowledge
of the contingencies referred to by
Mr.. Wilkerson in his interview as
to the extension having been pre-
vented in the past by "other inter
ests" nor of the alleged "thwart-
ing" of same. Now, when the ex-
, tension is made, however, 1 feel
free to say that it will be in the
direction of the Pavette lakes
which would give the P. & l. N. the
control of the Thunder Mountain
and Big Greek business"
While the gentleman would com
NIT himself no further, there seems
to be no doubt of the extension
early in the spring.-Capital News.

NO DAMAGES FOR PASS RIDERS.
United States Supreme Court Afirms
Validity Of Contract.

Washington, D.. c., Feb. 24.-The
question as to whether a passenger
on a railroad train riding on a free
pass, who loses his life on ccount of
an act of carelessness on the part of
the railroad company, stands on the
same footing as a passenger who pays
his fare, has been decided by the Unit
ed States supreme court against the
free passenger.
The case in which the opinion was
rendered was that Of the Northern Pa
cifc company against Louise Adams
and Frank E. Adams, heirs Of Jay H.
Adams, an attorney Of Spokane, Wash.
In 1898 Mr.. Adams was killed while
riding on a pass which contained a
stipulation exempting the railroad
company from liability in case Of &C.
cident. The federal circuit court for
the district of Washington state award
ed damages to the extent Of $4,000,
and the circuit court Of appeals for the
| Ninth circuit affirmed this judgment.
The opinion of the supreme court
was handed down by Justice Brewer
and reversed the lower courts. The
supreme court held that there could
be no higher Measure Of duty to the
heirs than to Adams himself, and that
there is nothing in public policy to
prevent q contract between a common
carrier and a free passenger exempt.
