Idaho, which sells the land to settlers
at so cents an acre, of which 25 cents
is paid down. The perpetual water
right is $50, of which So an acre is
paid down and the balance in nine an

his land from his crops.
This is the first opening of public
land in the northwest this year, and
will be followed by others when the
remainder of the tract is thrown open.
The tract is On the north side of the
Snake river, opposite the original
Twin Falls tract of 240,00 zoe acres,
which has all been settled in two
years with 10, 900 people. Seven towns

Cause Of Many Accidents.

CHICAGO, April 24.-Bad steel rails
are causing many of the disastrous
wrecks on American railways, accord.
ing to a statement made by some of
the most prominent operating officials
in the United States, who are in Chi.
cago attending the spring meeting OF
the American Railway association.
Aided by chemical experts and met.
allurgists, a committee composed OF
operating officials have been making
an investigation Of this matter and
have come to the conclusion that an
exceedingly dangerous percentage OF
the steel rails manufactured today
have the latent, flaw which causes them
to snap and break under the impact OF
a fast train.
Among the reports which have been
prepared for presentation to the gen
eral meeting of the associ alton tomor'
row is by the committee on "standard
rail and wheel sections" This repor,
will recommend that a committee be
appointed to take up the question Of
better steel rails with the American
manufacturers, in an effort to improve
the quality of material.

THE CAR SHORTAGE.
The American Railway Association
Takes Steps to Remedy
the Evil.

CHICAGO, April 24.-Decisive action
was taken here today by the American
Railway association to remedy the
car shortage which. for several months,
has been causing so much worry
among shippers throughout the coun-
try.
The failure of some roads to fur.
nish a sufficient quota of equipment for
their own traffic, and the failure to
provide and enforce proper rules for
the return of foreign Ears to their own
roads, are responsible for the short
age, and to remedy the evil the asso.
citation today adopted q rule, to be
confirmed later, by letter ballot of all
the roads, providing that any railroad
