PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHT.

Col. Spofford and Mr.. Randolph were
in town again Tuesday in-the interest of
the electric railway and favored us with
pleasant call They stated that the
work on the line was progressing nicely
and that the surveyors were working on
the branch line from Westlake to Nez-
perez, which they will finish by the last
OF the month. Col. Spoford and Mr..
Randolph are now compiling statistics
and expect to leave early in March to
place the project before eastern capital
lists. They are strong in the belief that
no difficulty will be experienced in Sc
curing all the money necessary to build
the road. Speaking.in this respect Mr..
Randolph said "There is no doubt in
my mind but that the proposition will
meet with instant approval when placed
before eastern capital. The main reason
why western propositions of merit have
had poor success in the east is that the
promoters have trusted too much to
"say so" and have not produced the
figures to show what the enterprises
were worth. Knowing this we have
been very careful to get all the facts in
connection with the electric line put
forth in plain figures so as to be easily
seen and understood. We have exager-
rated nothing, preferring to shave rather
than to swell the resources of the line,
for the reason that this country is so
strong in production of all kinds of
grain, etc., and is so eminently fitted
for electricity over steam that it can
easily stand to be underestimated rather
than exaggerated. am we'll acquainted
with the conditions of electric railroad
ing in the east and know the advantages
of electricity over steam in cheapness OF
operation there and 80 1 feel safe in
saying that this will easily be the great
est electric railway proposition that has
ever come up before eastern capital,
either from the east or west" The gen.
tlemen went to Denver from here and
will return to lilo where they will hold a
meeting tonight.

When the electric railway is
built through Cottonwood, provid-
ing the BEST Of transportotin; when
the town. is supplied with electric
lights, provided from the same
source; when the city puts in a
system of water works for public
use and safeguard against FIRE;
when a few more enterprising citi-
zens come in to counterfeit the effect
OF some mossy-backed boys who
don't believe in progression; then
Cottonwood will come to the front
and take the place she should
properly occupy as one of the best
towns of central Idaho. We look
for all or most OF this to take place
before 1906.

Some of the people Throughout
this country are denouncing the
electric railway as graft. If they
would figure up the amount of
money contributed by the various
towns along the line and then
figure how much expense the sur
veyors are to daily they could cas-
lily see that the chance for rakeoff
after paying the surveying ex-
penses would be too small to bother
about. 1t is invariably the case,
though, that the knockers show up
as soon as a public enterprise is
sprung. The residents of this
country ought to be able to see that
the electric railway will certainly
be the first to enter this section and
as it is a home enterprise they
certainly should help it all they
can.

It seems strange that property
owners here don't put up buildings
on their lots and rent them. There
10 constant demand for good bust
ness locations but the owners of
desirable lots either do not want to
sell or else ask prices far in advances
OF the real worth of the property.
Why not then put up buildings
and rent them. The buildings are
always worth what they cost and
the demand for good locations
would make them rent for good
round sums.

The latest reports tend to confirm
the rumor that Russia does not
want to fight Japan and is trying
to back down gracefully. There
must be a reason not given public
ity for this move on Russia's part
as she could hardly hesitate to
cross swords with Japan unless she
feared interference from some other
quarter. Perhaps she .is afraid
Uncle Sam is too willing to assist
the little brown men and don't
want to mix up with too many
powers over such small matters.
