WORK ON TIE SALT LAKE ROAD.
To Have the New Line Finished Inside
Of Ten Months.

A meeting of the Directors of the
San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake
read is to be held in Salt Lake City
this week, when it is expected that
the contracts for the final construction
work on the new road will be awarded
and definite plans made for making
the through connections from the lat
ter city to Los Angeles.
1t has been frequently announced
that the promoters Of the road fig
ured that at least fifteen months would
be necessary to place it in condition
for operating purposes, but it is now
reported that E. H. Hartman has been
advised by his chief engineer, VIM
Hood, that this work can be accompli-
shed easily in much shorter time
AS result Of this report Hartman
has given orders to rush operations.
that Hartman was behind Senator
Clark in the building of the San Pedro
Les Angeles and Salt Lake road, and
! that a transfer of a portion of the Ore
gOn Short Line to the control Of the
Clark company was simply a move on
/ the part of Hartman to aid the new
! line in getting quick terminal cOnncc-
items, the Senator was prompt with a
denial Of the report. Since then, how
! ever, it has been learned that Harri-
man holds more than so per cent of
the new COmpanys stock and is tax

ments for the completion Of the line

quarters complaint Is made that yin

RESULT IN THE STATE AND
COUNTY.

At the hour of going TO press the
returns from the state, though meag-
er. leave no doubt as 10 Roosevelt
carrying the state by 10000 majority,
while Dixon will defeat Gormley by
from 5000 to 1000. The Legislature
is claimed by the Republicans. There
is a possibility of the election of sew
eral of the candidates on the state
ticket. The returns from Silver Bow
county are being held back.
The n dark spot in the election
is in the local county ticket. From
present appearances the Democrats
will elect Hazen, Pick, Ayers, Meyer
sick and possibly Slater. The Repub-
lican legislative ticket is safe, as is
also Chandler, Wasmansdorff and At
Tx.
Roosevelt and Fairbanks will carry
the county by fully 900 majority, while
Joseph NJ. Dixon, for congress, will
have a majority Of over 400.
Again the result in this county must
be read to mean that the people are
opposed to third-termism and long
tenure in office for purely local offices.
Good, capable and true men were plac-
ed on the Republican ticket and the
,oters have declared in favor of new
blood. The lesson is this, then, that
Mr.. Slater, Mr.. Hdzen and Mr.. PICK
should. before the close of their Sec
ond terms, make arrangement TO re.
turn TO private life and enter into 9th
er pursuits. We trust our contempt.
%Iaries, TO be sincere, will so advise
Them. The people should always b.
given what they want, especially when
they make ii plain.

Health demands daily action of the
bowels. Aid nature with Ayers Pills,

the yield would be in wheat and
wealth. The greater portion of this
land would never need irrigation, in
fact irrigation would be impracticable
owing 10 the altitude and situation
OF such lands.
II is estimated that Fergus county
produced 300,0 900 bushels of wheat
this season. This is encouraging.
Soon the amount in bushels will reach
into the millions. Prices may not
rule as high every year as they have
this, but with Il growing demand for
huur in the orient as well as at home,
here is scarcely any doubt but wheat
raising in Fergus county from now on
will be found a very profitable bust.

The board of county commissioners
OF Cascade county has declared war
Dn the Russian thistle. Now that The
political battle is over and President
Roosevelt has issued a call for a
peace congress there seems TO be no
chance of a scrap except with this
enemy of the range. While the Japs
are taking care of the Russians we
ought 10 be able to combat success
fully with their thistles. The super.
risors of Cascade county have bcCd
ordered To act AT nee in an effort 20
destroy all Russian thistles which
may be found upon the county roads
In their respective districts. and also
TO notify all landowners. upon whose
land such thistle may be found To be
growing, TO have the same destroy
ed. II the orders are not complied
with within five days they must have
the thistle destroyed, and the eX.
pense incurred in so doing charged
up against the property owners on
whose land the thistle may be found,
1t would be of interest to know 10
what extent these thistles are inyGu.
ing Fergus county, and whether it is
necessary to take the measures al
ready adopted in Fergus county fol
their destruction. Is inns thistle go
ing to rival the dandelion as 9
plague?
