ROUTE FOR
RAILW AY
Facts Upon WhiCh Our
People Should HCt
MATTER DESERVES
IMMEDIATE ATTENTION
Senator BulIer, OF Blaine Gountu.
Gives Interview on This I'm
D0rtdnt Subject

The most important item of inforn1a-
tion printed relative to Boise and
Southern Idahois sandwiched in an in
terview with Senator R. F. Butler, of
Blaine County, published in Wednes-
days Statesman, as follows:
Senator Butler says that there is an
unsurveyed route crossing the desert
from Idaho Falls to Boise, that would
admit of the building of a railroad on
practically water grade until the
neighborhood of Dixie is reached.
There would not even be a hill to climb
in crossing either of the Wood rivers
and the senator thinks that the Boise in
terests should take the matter up and
appoint a strong committee to investi-
gate this route and present it to rail
way interests that are headed this way"
To this Thursday morning is added
the following
Representative Thomas C. Stanford
of Blaine County says that he desires to
emphasize what Senator Butler said in
yesterdays Statesman in regard to the
feasibility of railway route across the
desert Just below the foothills from
Idaho Falls to Boise He says that
there a-e practically no grades on the
route aad that after it has passed the
first 50 miles west from Idaho Falls
ii viii traverse nearly the entire distance
through a very fertile section of country
that is rapidly being settled and placed
under cultivation. He expects to use
his best efforts to get this route placed
before thee railway interests that have
their eye on something good for Idaho"
Here then is the work cHt ont for the
people Of Boise and it is in direct line
with the suggestions made by the Citizen.
Boise must have direct trans-con-
tinental line. All other matters are triv-
ial in comparison to this, and such a
line can be secured by ac i've, earnest
work
There was never such activity before
in the railroad world and new extern
sions are being made in every direc-
ton.
Let the business interests of Boise act
quickly along the lines suggested by
Senator Butler Let a strong com
mittee be appointed and company in
corporated to locate the proposed route
and make the preliminary work for the
Of such a road There
is every assurance that one of the great
roads now operating in Wyoming and
looking eastward could be quickly in
duced to take hold of the matter.
A transcontinental railway for Boise
should be the watchword of every cit
izen for the year 1907
The Boise Citizen does not purpose
that this matter shall be allowed to
drag, but proposes to keep it constantly
before the people.

LOOSE THINKING

The Prineville Review seems to suf-
fer from confusion of thought upon one
or two points, says the Oregonian. Il
does not seem to realize that the words
American people" ard land thieves
are not synonymous The Review is
aggrieved because the Oregonian wishes
the government to retain the mineral
and forest lands which the nation still
owns. 1t thinks this will be equivalent
to taking the land away from the peo-
pie" If for people" the Review will
substitute land thieves its remark will
be much more accurate. In this coun-
try the government is the people What
the government owns the people own, on
the other hand what goes into the pos
session of land thieves and grafters the
people have lost forever.
The Review truly says that the public
lands "all belong to the people" but it
qualities this remark by adding that they
should be given away to whoever comes
first and grabs them no matter whether
it is trust or an individual If the land
belongs to the people, then the people as
whole are entitled to the use, value and
proceeds of them forever. Ownership by
the people does not mean the same as
ownership by the Standard Oil company
or by senatorial syndicate
The Review thinks it will '-be a sorry
day when the government begins to
treat the public domain as a public trust
for the benefit of the whole aatieH. So
it will; sorry indeed for the gangs which
have thriven heretofore upon the plum
der of the public domain. But for every
honest citizen who desires to own and
possess what belongs to him and permit
others to do the same it will be a day of
rejoicing

sand acres of its land inside the Klamath
reservation for eighty-sever thousand
gcres in one compact area. Aside from
this, the company was given the right
to construct mills, put up power plants,
build railroads, dams, and reservoirs and
other necessary plants. 1t was beauti-
full scheme The land exchanged is
worthless sage or alka1i land, scattered
and detached For it the company gets
a compact area of eighty-seven thousand
acres, with the rights mentioned. The
land exchanged was probably not worth
a dollar an acre, while the eighty-seven
thousand acres secured are worth prob
ably $3,2Oo,OoO, or profit of over three
millions. Aside from this, the syndicate
has nearly seven hundred thousand
acres left in the tract, and there stand
upon it five billion feet of timber of the
finest quality. The land exchanged was
the worthless part.
Anyone trying to write of the machi-
nations of the lumbermen in the North
west stands appalled, at their magnitude.
The facts cited are set forth only as
high-lights to illuminate what has been
going on. They may in a way tend to
prove how these gigantic combinations
have been effected, how the syndicate
converted to its own use the millions
of acres with the billions of value which
rightfully belong to the people, and how
the colossal Weyerhaeuser fortune was
built up Behind it all stands the old
man in St Paul, quaint in his moods,
somewhat broken in speech, kindly in
manner, who, fifty years ago, came here
from foreign land to carve out his for
tune, an achievement in which he has
succeeded far beyond the dreams of
ayerice."

quittal on the ground that the state had
not proven that the crime of embez-
element had been committed He ar
gued that the defendant had obtained
this sum under false pretenses and not
by embezzlement The court took the
motion under advisement until the next
day After sleeping over the night on
this motion the honorable court gave
the instruction to acquit-and the jury
did accordingly. A first class coat of
whitewash was administered and Lans-

still in his jeans unless he spent it dur
ing the last campaign to aid in uphold

"'Well, who is Lansdon anyway? asks
one of the uninitiated He was the Re
publican candidate for secretary of state
and was elected to that office during the
last campaign. True, he ran behind his
ticket in the country where he was best
known, but he got there all the same.

first Monday in January, 1907, and he
must go into office vindicated A Re

congratulate Canyon county upon hav-
ing elected William Thorp as sheriff of
said county And it would respectfully
advise our ofice-holding friends not to
be guilty of such offenses as Lansdon's

have been elected; for if they do there
will be no whitewash administered with
their consent and approval The white
wash bucket is now empty and will not

r1INGO SAUNDERS

Mingo Saunders at so is just negro
out of a job, with dishonorable dis
charge against his name on the mill
tary records of the United States.
Six weeks ago he was first sergeant
| of Company B, Twenty-fifth infantry.
He has served 26 years, half of his life,
as a regular under the American flag.
His different discharges bore the Off
cial remarks: Faithful service" IRE
liable soldier" good man." character
excellent" Now his service stripes have
been taken from him. He cannot re-
enlist.
Mingo Saunders was on the firing
line all through the Santiago campaign
in Cuba as a on-commissioned officer.
On June 25, 1898, a volunteer officer
named Theodore Roosevelt came to
Mingo Saunders not far from Siboney
and begged for some hard-tack for his
men. The Rough Riders were glad to
get the negroes rations.
AIingo Saunders, as first sergeant, led
Company B, Twenty-fith infantry, on
January 5, 1900, in the attack on Ca
mansi, the Filipino stronghold on ARA
yat hill, in north Luzon. In the re
port on this action Camansi is de-
scribed as "a veritable Gibraltar in it
self, a sort of second Lookout Noun
tain" Mingo Saunders was in at the
finish, after scaling the mountain in
the face of deadly fire The Filipinos,
1000 strong, were routed and FIVE
wounded American prisoners were res
cued.
NTingo Saunders, after fighting all
through the Cuban and Philippine cam
paigns, never rose above non-com-
missioned officer, but he had nothing
but credit marks to his account He
was at Brownsville, Texas, last August
at the time of the midnight riot With
in 10 minutes after he first heard shots
fred he had his men lined up for roll
call He accounted for all of them ex-
cept four, who were known to be on
special detail He did his full duty in
every way.
There are no charges against Mingo
Saunders as sergeant or private, yet
Theodore Roosevelt holds him up as a
disgrace TO the United States army
