RIDGE WORK TO

Extra Train and Crew Put On
and Work on Lawyer canyon :,
Rridqe be Rushed as Rapidly
as Possible.

A Culdesac dispatch says; In
dications here point to a more
energetic effort on the part Of
the Northern Pacific to rush the
construction work on the Guide
sac extension to Grangeville.
Another train crew has arrived
and been put to work assisting
the construction train in taking
the material to the top of the
hill. Heretofore only four load
ed cars could be taken up the hill
at a time but with the addition
of another engine and crew
twice that number can be taken
to the top of the hill where they
can then be easily handled with
one engine over the remainder OF
the line. This will greatly facil-
itate the handling of the material
and will enable much more rapid
progress to be made with the
construction work. The line is
now completed to Vollmer, a
point a little over three miles
from the Lawyers canyon
bridge, and it appears that the
new train has been put on to
hasten the delivery of the bridge
material so as to rush the work on
that structure, It will only take

Is She, A Chicken WizardP

California boasts a poultry
queen. Five years ago this
woman got a setting of Orpington
eggs and raised a brood of chick
ems. Today she is the most
prominent breeder in the state,
and is making money hand over
fist" She has taken more
ribbons and cups than any one
in the Golden state, but the bulk
of her money is made by fatten-
ing capons for the big. hotels.
FShe makes at least $4,000 in a
season of four months by selling
capons, and her aim has been,
to demonstrate that poultry
raising is a woman's field. This
energetic and resourceful
woman's name is Mrs. o. H.
Burbridge, and if any of our
friends desire to know how she
does it, no doubt they will be
given information in reply to
letters. Mrs. Burbridge says
that the pleasantest part of the
whole business is the opportunity
to help women who come to her
for advice and assistance. She
poins with pride to one old lady
whom she started two years ago
with setting of eggs and who
used a piano box for a hen house.
This elderly amateur in poultry
raising now clears nearly $1O0 a
month from her FLOCK. There
are many young women readers
of the American Farmer who
might do well in the same line, if
they engage in it in the right
spirit and devote to it the neces-
sary time and labor, without
which no success can be achieved
in any business. American

the tracklaying crew a few days
to cover the distance between
Vollmer and Lawyers canyon
when the bridge material can be
delivered.
A part of the bridge crew is
reported to have already arrived
and the remainder of the crew is
expected within a few days.
This is taken to mean that the
work on the bridge is to be rush
ed and the addition of the extra
train crew strengthens this view.
Owing to the fact that the
cement, stone, and sand for the
piers on the opposite side of the
canyon cannot be delivered with
teams, an elevated tram is to be
erected over which the material
will be taken. The tram, it is
said, will be erected as soon as
the track is laid to the site of the
bridge. 1t is stated that the
manufacturers of the bridge steel
will install the bridge and the
crew of bridge men that are ex-
pected to be here in a few days
are said to be sent here by the
bridge company.
The railroad company several
months ago contracted with
Thomas Culnan, of this place.
for 1000 loads of sand, a part of
which is now being delivered for
culvert work near Kippen but
the greater portion will be used
in building the Lawyers canyon
bridge piers, a number of which
will be fifty feet high.
Measles are reported prevalent
at Vollmer.

The case of A. H. Squires, the
negro restaurant keeper at Troy,
charged with the murder of
Robert Glen several months ago,
was tried this week at Moscow
and verdict of guilty returned
by the jury. Glenn was cooking
for Squires and when drunk got
into row with his employer
who beat him up badly and drug
him out onto the street where he
was later found dead.
Following are the railroad dis
tances on the prairie line Of rail-
road as given out from Vollmer:
Vollmer to Lewiston, Az miles;
Vollmer to Culdesac, % miles;
Vollmer to Reubens, 81 miles;
Vollmer to Stunenberg, 8 miles;
Vollmer to Cottonwood, 163 miles;
Vollmer to Fem, "a miles;
Vollmer to Grangeville, 80 miles.
1t is shown that the total length
of the new road from Culdesac to
Grangeville is 55 miles and now
track has been laid over % miles
of the roadbed.
A new time card on the North

will enable passengers on the
Clearwater train to make i'm
mediate connection and get into

The change will be highly ap-
preciated by people of this Sec

According to government re-
ports the immigration into this
country for the past year ending
June 80, 1907, was far heavier
than for any previous year in
our history. 1t exceeds that of
1906 by IL per cent and that of
1905 25 per cent. Fully /, ,285, 346
persons entered the country last
year. Of these 3O,266 were

from that country has fully
trebled in the last year. Many
thousands of these landed first
in Mexico and sneaked across
the border without being dis
covered. Once in this country
it was practically impossible to
apprehend them.

EXPLAINS
 BILLS PROVISIONS
Thinks Alderman Moore Has
 Not Studied Measure
FOR GREATER BlRMlNGHA
Forney Says He Helped Draft the Bill and Expresses the Belief That Mr. Moore Has Never
 Read 1t.

The fonowin@ communication is self explanatory:
 To the Editor of The Age-TIerald:
 Having been a member of the commit tee which drafted the Greater BirmIng- ham bill l must call your attention to a mistake concerning it's provisions, made by one of my colleagues on the Board of Aldermen.
 In your issue of this morning you say, Waite Moore, alderman from the Fourth ward, who has made careful study of the Greater Birmingham bill. and then you quote AIr. Moore as follows:
 'There are two great objections to thls bill, one the fact that 1t permits
 representation without taxation In other words, a man who owns prop erty of certain number of acres is
 exempt from taxation for a number
 of years, but still enjoys the right 10
 cast his vote for or against some candidate for city office. may take part in the administration of the city affairs and may even be an office holder.
 This on the face of it is sufficient to make any equitable man oppose it." Even the most cursorY examination of the bill by Mir. Moore would have shown him in the fifth section the following proviso
 Provided, however, that no person re- siding on territory which is exempt from taxation under the provisions hereof shall have any right to vote in any election held in the city for the election of any city officer or in any other election held in the city which pertains to the govern ment of said city, and provided further that no person who resides in territory exempt from taxation under the pro visions hereof shall be eligible to hold ans- elective office in said city, and pro- Vided further that in no event shall there be more than thirty aldermen or representatives in the council or govern IF body of the city"
 Again you quote Mir Moore as saying in reference to the ten-acre tax exemp- ton feature of the bill:
 ''1t would appear that the bill is primarily real estate jobbing scheme
 Some of these owners of large tracts of property would be getting all the privileges of city without paying any taxes for them, and at the same
 time their property would be more than doubled in value by being taken
 into the city limits of Birmingham"
 So much as a glance at the bill would have shown Mr Moore section as fol- lows:
 "Section s. No person residing in te ritory exempt from taxation in the shall be entitled to receive any of benefits derived from taxes paid to city. except that as far pract it shall be the duty of the city to police and fire protection to person property In the exempt district"

The singing of the last score at the Gayety theatre yesterday was the signal for the gathering at the side entrance of that playhouse of a dozen or more of the youth of the city-those young men with cigarettes and sickly bodies.
 Watching this gathering, standing at Adams corner,. were several citizens. Their attention was attracted by the rushing of this crowd in one direction. Those who watched were furnished with considerable merriment.
 Officer St. Claire was cautiously slipping upon those planning for 'mashers' In spection. He 'gas among them before they knew it. He [ a center rush and swept the youngs ' som their feet.

CITY AND COUNTY
 GO SINGLE HANDED
EACH INVESTIGATES CRIME SEP ARATELY-CITY PROPER FOR POLICE AND REMAINDER OF COUNTY FOR SHERIFF..

In the investigation of crime and the detection of criminals, what relation do county officials bear to those of the city and vice versa? This is matter that has always interested official circles and one to which, it seems, the proper solution has not been found. Especially is it per- tinent at the present time when a recent murder occurring in the city is still sur rounded by clouds and the victim is still unidentified.
 The sheriffs force and the coroner have jurisdiction throughout the county. The police have jurisdiction throughout the city and three miles beyond the linn it's in every direction. When a murder occurs in Birmingham the county author ities and the police have an equal right to investigate.
 As a matter of fact it was learned yes terday that after case is turned over to the county the coroner investigates with litte if any, assistance. Chief Wier states that frequently a city detective as- sists the coroner, but that this is true as a rule, only when the coroner makes the request. The coroners duties are to make an investigation. In addition the sheriffs office is equipped with secret service man, who may be called upon to render assistance. As a general thing, however, the county and the city author ities are not united except when the one requests the aid of the other. In the present investigation Coroner Paris states that he is working sngle-handed.
 It was pointed out yesterday by Chief Wier that the present force is too linn tied to allow q detective to drop all other duties and assist the coroner in unravel- ing q murder mystery. Such a courtesy, he says, is freely extended, however, when a request Is made.
