to Victor,
The petition Is as follows
n w. II. Bancroft. Vice President
and General Manager, Oregon Snort
line Railroad Company. Dear Sir-We,
tbe undersigned, citizens and land own
ers of Haden, briggs and Victor and
vcinl,ies. including the Teton Basin,
in consideration OF the oregon Short
line company building a railroad dur
Inq the year of 1905, from Sugar city,
Fremont county, Via Teton City briggs.
Victor and Haden, agree to give O. good
ana sufficient warranty deed, covering
a right of way 100 feet in width from
canyon creek to Victor, free of
charge.
we further agree that in the event
that the said railroad Is constructed
through said territory above mentioned,
that We viii raise during the year 1906
900 acres OF bCets In the said Teton
valley tributary to said road for the
Idaho sugar company, signing forms of
contracts furnished by the said COM
pany similar to those used In other Sec
tons of the country
There Is no comparison In the cost OF

this route through the City of Teton.
and that OF the proposed route north,
taking off from the Park road, by rea-
son Of the nature of the soil and the
material through which you would
construct as the route through this sec
ton OF the county Is composed largely
~ earth and where there is any stone
It Is principally all sand stone. excellent
for building purposes, and there Is very
little rock anywhere over this road By
way of Teton 1t Is almost altogether
beautiful soil, with an easy grade II
properly selected. You viii only have
two light bridges as against the other
way you would have three or four very
expensive to construct.
Therefore We think that we are justI-
fed in asking for this consideration
and We know that practically every
person in Teton Basin will be interest
ed in the railroad taking out at this
point, as II Will shorten the distance to
outside points, and undoubtedly give
us cheaper tariff and transportation by
reason OF the same, and will be more
direct and save considerable time In
getting In and out.
Hoping this petition will meet your
favored consideration we remain. Yours
respectfully.

1.-THE History Of New Zealand"

New Zealand is the most interesting
corner of the civilized world today.
The Story of New Zealand presents
a remarkable record of advance in
democratic government and industrial
harmony. Industrial arbitration is of
the highest Importance, and New Zea-
lands success deserves earnest atten-
ton. Whatever may be thought of any
specific measure adopted in New Zea-
land, or its applicability to this coun-
try, there can be no question that the
story of New Zealand's progress con-
tains much that is worthy the careful
consideration of our people.
The Independent is prepared to fur
nish this valuable history to its read
ers at the popular price of Is cents per
copy paper bound. 1t is the best in
vestment for reading matter that you
can make. Send Is cents in stamps or

which in its last analysis must be the
securing equality of opportunity in the
use OF the resources Of nature which
all must have or suffer in exact pro-
portion as they are deprived of them.
| nave seen many attempts at altru-
ism by persons who had little or no
egoism and they are all lamentable
failures.
TO me therefore a man must be an
egoist before he can be an altruist in
the best sense of both terms.
The single tax is the only philoso-
ply am aware of that explains this
apparent anomoly, and harmonizes the
ever present iaws rof .sso1I -fsraaaaEat ion.
which we have come to call. selfish
ness; with the innate desire latent in
everyone to do good for others.
This truly marvellous feat is accom-
plished not by any superhuman change
in human nature, but by the simple
and natural method of guiding these
tributes into their proper channel in
stead OF cOndemning the one as dia-
bolical anu unduly exacting the other

Mary Had Her Landlord

Last week the editor received a hCce-e

Kindly give this booklet little no

filled with advertising and the middle
portion with reading matter after the
fashion Of modern magazines. 1t had
no title. there was not line in it to
tell where it was printed, who wrote it,
where 1t could be purchased or what
it would cost. There were many ex-
cellent articles in the little book and
from it the following apt rhymes are
quoted, entitled Mary and Her Land
lord:"
Mary opened little shop
To help her on life's way;
And honest toll found fit reward.
And 1t began to pay.
"How's biz" the landlord often asked,
nd Marv was ilnprudent;
OF course she never guessed be was
An economic student.
But Mary's landlords eagle eye,
Was watching how things went,
Ana when the 18th May came round
He doubled MaTy's rent.
The imposition staggered her,
But what could Mary do?
Subsistence bare is the tenants share,
All above is the landlords due.
So Mary kept on as before,
Improving as time went;
But step by step with increased trade
The landlord raised the rent.
And thus the merry game went on
Till Mary's life was spent
AS fast as God could prosper her,
The landlord raised the rent

These articles have been prepared with
