VIII Not Build at Once.

Late advices indicate that til,
Minidoks & Southern railroad
which will run from Minidoka
through the Twin Fails land and
be a feeder of the Short Line will
not be built at once. Toe Deseret
News has the following to say re-
garding the new road:
Assistant General Manager f..
+. Calvin OF the Oregon Short Line.
and the president OF the new feeder
for the Short Line, this morning
stated that nothing definite had
yet been decided upon relative to
the commencement of construction
on the S5-mile branch. This
would be taken up as soon. as it
was demonstrated that the lands
tributary to the proposed railroad
had been taken up by bona fide
settlers.
The proposed ra lroad will open
up and furnish transportation fa-
cilities for an important and very
promising section of the state of
Idaho and il comes as another
demonstration of what the Harri.
man line is doing for the develop |
ment OF the Gem State.
Now that the route of the pro-
posed road has been made public
there is bound to be boom in
and homesteads along the /
route and it is asserted that values
have already jumped from IS TO $50
an acre in n hours as conse-
luence. Those lands which have
not already been taken up in the
OF the proposed road are
being filed upon by those who are
anxious to get in on the ground

| Work has been begun on two fed
cral projects which will render fer

lof land in Arizona and Nevada.
Mr.. Newell, the government officer
in charge of the reclamation service,
especially urges the necessity Of
protecting forests about the head
waters Of streams. 1t is suggested
that forest reserve boundaries
should be extended TO include all
lhe remaining public forest lands,
with the regulation that no timber
be cut there except under govern
ment supervision. Southern Ida
ho, especially along the Snake riv-
er, is referred to is one of the most
promising fields for reclamation,
and some projects there are taking
definite shape. The Tonic dam,
planned for Salt river valley, Ari-
zoaa, extends across a canyon 800
feet wide, and will be 1888 feet thick
at the base.

GOVERNMENT I'D FOR ROADS.

The bill now pending in congress
known as the BrownIow bill should
have encouragement from every
section OF this vast country. 1t
was introduced by Hon. Walter p.
iirownlog Of Tennessee, and pro-
vides for the appropriation OF
IA, 000,0 600 as national aid for the
huilding Of wagon roads. This
sum Is to be available at the rate
OF SS,0O0,0O0 year; is to be divid-
90 according to the population Of the
different states, but no state is to
receive less than $250,0O0. Every
state receiving national must APP
pgopriate and spend like amount.
The asserted growth OF senti-
ment in favor OF government aid
and this particular measure is
chiefly due to the institution and
extension OF the rural free mail
delivery system, which has brought |
the Disadvantages OF poor roads
home to the farmers and other
country dwellers. Applications for
the extention OF the free rural de-
livery system are being refused by
the post office authorities on ac-
count OF the roads, and the disap-
pointed communities demand their
improvement. These demands are
SO IN excess of the ability OF the
the local boards TO respond to that
for a year past highway com
missioners all over the country
have been putting themselves on
record IN favor OF national aid.
1t is claimed ON behalf OF the bill
that the plan Of d stribution is
more equitable than the distribu-
lion OF some $32, 100000 year
under the Rivers and Harbor Bill, j
which goes principally to the sea- =
board states and to the Missis ippi v
lclta. u
In support OF the Brownlow Bill y
= general measure, attention is u
allied to the fact that France has

P1ANoFoRTE AND LECTURE RECITAL.
 Miss Marie Benedict of New York
 will give pianoforte lecture recital
 at the Parish house of St John $
 church, this (Friday) evening, June 10.
 The admission will be 25c. The Ad-
 vocate of Greenville, S. O., says ot her:
 "A new feature in the pianoforte
 lecture recital, and one which promises
 piano teachers, is the Students lec- ture recital recently introduced by
 Miss Marie Benedict. Her programs are made up of such pieces as intelli- gent amateurs study who have had lessons from two to six years with a good teacher. By her clear, forceful and winning lectures, and her great conceptive and executive ability, Miss Benedict is enabled to give object les sons to earnest piano students, the
 value of which cannot be oHeresti- mated. A students recital of the k ind above referred to, and also an artists recital, consisting of excellent concert selections, chiefly from Schubert, Schuman and Chopin, interpreted as only an artist of vivid imagination and we'll developed technique can ren- der such music, were recently given before the students of Columbia Fe- male college. Aside from the intellec- tual enjoyment afforded by the occa- sion, quickening impulse has been experienced, which, we are sure, will result in better work and the obtain ing of more artistic effects in our mu- sic department. Charles w. Landon, editor of the Etude, ex-president of the N. Y. M. T. A., says of Miss Ben edict: "MiSs Marie Benedict is a pianist of uncommon ability. She is eminently successful in her public work, pleasing critical audiences; as shown by her repeated appearances before the music teachers of the Con- necticut Music Teachers Association. have heard her, both in public and private playing, with great pleasure; especially enjoying her fine and mu- sical touch, and intelligent phrasing. Her expression is always refined, in tense and full of emotional feeling, showing that she possesses cultivated mind of high order, as we'll as great musical endowmentS. Her description and analysis of piece show wide read ing and clear perception of the inner beauties and meanings of a compost. tion, and her ideas are expressed in we'll chosen words and beautiful Ian. guage."
