RAILROAD RUMBLNGS.
Rumors of Extensive Construction
in Idaho Next Year--O. S. L. to
Build Branch from CokeviIIe

Rumors of future railroad build
ing In Idaho are flying about these
days thicker than the bombs and
bullets are In the streets Of old St.
Petersburg and Moscow. Accord
ing to these rumors all of the great
transcontinental lines will build in
to and through Idaho next year and
then the Short Line is building Ton
paper) numerous branches to tap the
sections through which the other
lines will pass. If half the miles of
railroad are constructed IN Idaho
next year that are being built by the
newspapers, the Gem Of the Mount
aims railroad facilities will surpass
those of any of the other western
states.
The newspapers last week selected
the route tor the extension of the
Chicago & Northwestern from it's
present terminus in Wyoming
through southern Idaho and into
Salt Lake. The route is through
the Jackson Hole country, thence
across Fremont county to St.
Anthony. Continuing, the line is
run in southwesterly direction,
touching Sugar City. Rexburg, Rig
by, Blackfoot and Pocatello. From
the Gate City, the road is to run in
to Cache valley, touching Preston,
Logan, Wellsville and Brigham
City. From Brigham City, the
newspapers haven't fully decided on
the route the road will take into
Ogden and Salt Lake.
Then the Burlington and Mil.
waukee roads are making lively
moves by the newspaper railroad
builders. The Burlington will hard

the Milwaukee intends doing hasn't
yet been definitely figured out, but
it is sure headed for Idaho.
Last week the Pocatello Advance
constructed a new branch of the
Short Line, which will be of great
benefit to the people Of Cokeville
and vicinity. Its authority for
building this branch was obtained
from the fling of the articles of in
corporation of the Idaho & Wyo-
ming Railroad Co. with the recorder
of Bannock county. In speaking
of this extension on the part of the
Short Line, the Advance said:.
"The purpose of the organization
is TO build railroad and conduct a
telegraph line beginning on the St.
Anthony branch near the boundary
between Bingham and Fremont

Who Owns the Fruit.

The following opinion of general
interest was rendered sometime ago,
by Judge Mcclure, of the sever
teenth judicial district: IF the
branches of tree growing on ones
land hangs over the line upon the
other, the adjoining owner may cut
the limbs perpendicularly with his
line, providing the branches have
not been allowed to extend over a
reriod of twenty-one years or more
without objection, when no right
would be gained to cut them off.
Fruit on tree is part of the realty
and is not the subject of larceny.
If the fruit has fallen to the
ground the neighbor could pick it
up and use it. The right of the ad
joining land owner to lop off branch
es of overhanging trees before 2f
years ofpermissive acquisecence has
elapsed, does not carry with it the
right to the fruit hanging on the
tree. The fruit is not the product
of his toll or LABOR.

would this have been a simple case
of hazing," or would it have been
wiltul and deliberate murder
These are only a few Of the many
similar cases that have been oc-
curing in the colleges Of this
country for many years. There
has been too much laxity of disci-
pine. Students a. colleges are
treated as men Of mature years
when they are showing by their
conduct tha: they ought not to be
so considered. The extreme cases
mentioned above are the direct and
natural outgrowth of the milder
forms Of so-called "hazing" which
are permitted and laughed at almost
everywhere. From making a

TEN progresses step by step until it
ends in numbering man by tyiRg

system is wrong, and the author

an end TO it ~ united effort. In
stead of shielding such outlawry
for fear the reputation of the insti.
tuition may be injuI ed, the law should
be invoked and its penalties en-
forced. Rigid rules should be made
and observed, and the penalty OF
their violation should be expulsion,
with an agreement among all the
colleges that no man SO expelled
can ever be admitted to any other
college. 1t is high time that those
who are seeking a higher education
should be made to know that if
they indulge in barbarous and bru-
tai customs that they will find no
immunity because they happen TO
be college students.

PRESIDENT ID HELP PROTECT
NIAGARA.

President Roosevelt has placed
hims Elf on record strongly in iavor
OF tn. preservation intact Of the
wonders of Niagara Falls.
The occasion Of his utterance was
call made OF him by J. Horace
Mcfarland, OF Harrisburg, Pa,
president; Ctin,on Rogers Wood
ruff, of Philadelphia, secretary,
and William B. Howland, OF New
York, treasurer, Of the American
Civic Association.
They called TO urge the Presi.
dent to use his influence. through il
the combined action Of the Ameri-
can and Canadian Governments, for
the preservation Of the Niagara
Falls and to prevent the diversion
OF their waters to commercial and
industrial uses.
They pointed Quito the President
that ten companies now have au-
thority TO utilize 1889 500 horse
power Of the effective power of the
Falls. In the judgment of compe-
tent engineers, the delegation said,
this would destroy the American
Falls. Five companies now are ac-
tually developing power from the
Falls and the others are preparing
actively to utilize the power.
President Roosevelt told the del
egation that he regarded it as a
great national duty TO do all that
might lie i'll his power to preserve
Niagara Falls, and that in his mes
sage to Congress he would recon-
mend action along that line with all
the force of which he was capable.
He said he believed that Niagara
Falls, the Grand Canyon of Colora-
do, the big trees Of California and
the buffalo should be preserved for
posterity.
California, he added, had pre-
sentcd to the nation a grove Of the
big trees, and if the State of New
York could not preserve Niagara
Falls inviolate the national Govern
ment should step III to keep them
as they are now for the American
people as one o. the great natura,
wonders of the world. The Presi.
dent said that if he were to make a
public address before the meeting
of Congress he would take the op.
portunity to speak in favor Of the
preservation of Niagara Falls.

OJLLEbE BRUTALITY

4 few weeks ago a student at
Kenyon College, Gambler, Ohio,
was run over by all engine on the
railroad track and killed. An in-
vestigation was held and the evil
dence brought out the fact that as
a part of his initiation into a secret
fraternity he had been bound to the
track and left there. 1t was no
doubt the expectation of those who
lid it, that the boy would be great
frightened by hearing a train
roach and pass on the adjoining
K, the existence Of which he
IS unaware, being bljndfolded.
the unexpected happened, and
rain came along on the wrong
track and ground out the life Of the
victim.
Another student testified that he
also was being initiated into the
sane fraternity, and that he was
bound to the same track hundred
yards further on. But for the fact
that the engineer knew he had run
over something, and stopped his
train there would have been another
murder. 1t further developed that
the boy who was killed had prev
iously been compelled by goada and
lashes, to crawl the entire length
of the town on his hands and knees,
and his mutilated body still had
upon it the bandages on his lascer-
ated and ulcered kn'e 1t was
further shown that this form Of
initiation had been practiced i1r
some years.
A coroner's jury has found that
this young man came to his death
by being bound to railroad track
and run over by locomotive. No
one has been arrested, and probably
the perpetrators of this horrible
deed will escape the penalty of the
law but will go through life with a
terrible burden on their consciences.
Is this sort of thing to be treated
only as college prank, or was it
murder?
A cadet at the United States
Naval Academy at Annapolis was
last week driven by false idea of
"honor" into challenging a fellow
cadet to fist fight, because Of an
insult and by the connivance of a
number Of other cadets the fight
was pulled off, and after twenty
two rounds was declared a draw.
The challenger went to his room
and his opponent to the hospital
but the next morning the former
was found in his bed unconscious,
and died soon afterwards, from in

New Automobile Law

The Attorney Generals Depart
ment has furnished the State High
way Department with an official
opinion to the effect that the auto
mobile law passed by the last Legis-
lature repeals all former acts upon
this subject and stands to-day as
the only law on this subject.
The Deputy General holds that
the act of 1905 applies to motor
bicycles as we'll as to automobiles
and that no motor vehicle Of any
sort can be operated in Pennsyl-
vania after January I, 1906, when
the new law becomes operative,
except by person who has secured
a license from the State Highway
Department.
The opinion also states that all
tags bearing numbers, with the
exception of the two furnished by
the State Highway Department to
each license, must be removed from
all motor vehicles while they are
operated within this state.
