Another Passenger Train.

Word comes from the Salt Lake
Office of General Passenger Agent
Burley of the Oregon Short Line
that arrangements have about been
completed for the putting on of a
new train between Salt Lake and
Portland, which will be scheduled
to leave Salt Lake at 8 O'Clock D, m
and run through to the Oregon city
without regard to eastern connec-
tions. This train will also include
Pullman service between Salt Lake
and Boise.
An additional Pullman for Boise
has already been placed on the north
bound train from Salt Lake, which
connects here with No. for the
west, and the service is greatly
bettered thereby.
The new Salt Lake-Portland train
will be great help to Pocatello
people. The exact date of the first
trip of the new train has not vet
been announced from Salt Lake.
but it is expected that the initial
run will be made shortly after the
first OF the new year.
The Short Line seems determined
to give the very best possible SER
vice to passengers on this up-to date
system.-Pocatello Tribune.

THREE DELIGHTFUL EVENTS.
Balls Given by Trainmen, Firemen
and Masons Were All Pleasing
Social Affairs.

The ope"ing ball at Strong's hall
last Friday night by the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen was a
decided success. Owing to the short
time that was had to prepare for the
event, no attempt was made at
decorating the hall, and although
the floor had been put in good COR
dition for dancing, the merry crowd
overlooked these things, so delight
ed were they to once more have the
privilege of dancing in a commodi-
GUS hall. The trainmen were more
than pleased with the result of the
ball.

Idaho.

Utah and Idaho are closely linked d
IN many ways; socially and IN busl-
ness and in common hopes and fears.
All reports agree that Idaho ls
enjoying exceeding prosperity. Her
mines are holding their own and are
enough TO vltalize all the other
branches of business in the state
In farming and fruit raising she is
advancing by leaps and bounds, her
grain is heavier than the standard
weight; her fruit has a fame as wide
as the Republic. She has more
superb agricultural land than New
York or Pennsylvania, the average
of her crops per acre exceeds those
states two to one.
When, perhaps five years hence,
she will be able to utilize the water
now running to waste, she will have
more land under cultivation than all
New England has to-day.
Her people are justly exaltant
over their present prosperity al d
over the hopes justly cherished for
her future.
And they are a great people. The
climate they live in ia perfect from
health standpoint, climate which
enables them to work every day in
tue year out of doors, and which to
men is what an oxygen blast is to
molten lron-which convers it into
steel, so that they can work long
hours, so that their brains are al
ways kept strong, so that they can
not help but be brave race and
generous hearts always attach to
brave men.

AFTER FIFTY YEARS.
Judge Rich Enjoying Life In South.
ern California After Absence of
Half Century.

From the San Bernardino Sun of
Dec. l4th we take the following ex-
tract from an article noting the ar
rival in that city of Judge Rich and
wife:
"Judge Joseph c. Rich of Mont
peller, Idaho, visited the scenes of
his boyhood Yesterday.
.'Judge Rich came to San Bernar.
dino IN June, 1855, and returned to
Utah IN May, 1857, never having
seen San Bernardino since that time,
now nearly fifty years ago. Yet he
remembers all the old settlers and
landmarks. He sought out the site
of the old homestead of his father,
Apostle Charles G. Rich, on lower
L street, where Joseph Brown now
resides; he visited the location of
the Old Fort, the Council House,
the Amasa Lyman mansion, the old
school house where William Stout
and Ellen Pratt taught their first
school. He visited his old friends
Uncle Sheldon Stoddard, Fred T.
Perrls, j. B. Smithson, Mrs. Nancy
Daley, Mrs. Harriet Mayfield and
Others.
The Judge contemplates spending
the winter in Southern California,
with his wife who accompanies him,
and both will receive the heartiest
greeting of their many friends here,
especially among the pioneers of this
valley, who will remember the father
of Judge Rich, Gen. Charles C.
Rich, who, with Amasa Lyman,
purchased the San Beraardino
Rancho from the Lugo family in
1851, and thus became the founders
of San Berpardino county.
Judge Rich has been q pioneer
of three states, of Utah in ls47, of
California in 1885 and of Idaho in
1868. His wife, Ann Eliza Rich
was daughter of Bishop Edward
Hunter of Salt Lake City,. She was

THE YEARS RECORD
Montpelier Has Made Substantial
Growth This Year.
BRIGHT PROSPECTS FOR FUTURE
Extensive improvements to be Made
by the Short Line Things Look
Good from Every Rtandpoint.

While Montpelier has not made
any great strides in advancement
during the year just closing, yet it's
record of progress was greater than
for many years past. Among the
items that may be recorded on the
improvement side of It's ledger are,
the erection of three brick business
blocks; an $4,000 pavilion nearly
completed; water system well
under way; the consolidation Of the
two school distlic into an inde-
pendent district and establishment
of a high school; the erection of
several new homes; and the begin
ming Of what promises to develop
into permanent mining industry,
both in our phosphate and copper
properties.
While, as we have said, our pace
has only been moderate this year,
we believe that it will be increased
to much faster step during 1907.
The completion of the water system
early in the year will stimulate the
building industry, there being no
less than three new business blocks
already planned for erection. Then,
we have the assurance that the rail
road company intends to expend
considerable sum in improvements
here next year. Montpelier is down
on the list to secure the erection of
$4,000 club house by the COM
pany, and the long-looked for new
depot is almost sure to be erected
during the year. The construction
of the canal by the Montpelier Irri-
CATION district will mean quite q
stride in the development of our
farm lands in the district, while
there is every reason to believe that
before the close of next year it will
have been proven that rich and ex-
tenslve copper deposits exist in the
hills east of town, and that our in
phosphate deposits viii
have proven to be of such great
value that shipments will be made
on an extensive scale.
Besides these good things men,
toned, we have visions of another
railroad trayerslng our valley by the
close of the coming year, or at least
Of the road will be-
under way. That the Burlington
has its eye on Salt Lake is evidenced
by recent developments in railroad
circles. Word comes from Wyo-
ming that maps have been filed i'm
Denver designating the Burlington's
right-of-way from Worland to-
Thermopolis and along the Big.
Horn river to a point where the line,
will swing west to Salt Lake. There,
are several routes In view for this,
proposed line, and we have been re-.
llably Informed by persons who ares
in position TO know whereof they.
speak, that no matter which route
is selected, the road is certain to-
traverse its way to the city of Zion..
That the line would strike Mont.
pelier there is no doubt, and its con-
struction will bring a new era of
to our town and county.
The horizon at this time surely.
looks brighter for Montpelier than
1t any previous period IN its history.
