The diamond drill. (Crystal Falls, Iron County, Mich.) 1887-1996, 1908-05-02

A move is said 10 be on foot TO COM
pei railroad companies TO publish their
time tables. The matter has been
brought to the attention of the state
railroad commission. There is no
question but that the railroads ought to
publish their time tables but we hope
that the move TO coerce them into doing
80 will not be pushed. II looks on the
surface as IL IL were move Of the news
papers 10 get little business through
duress Let the railroads alone. They
are injuring themselves far more than
they are benefitting by their policy.
Every time voter seeks information
about trains and can't find 1t the rail
roads make an enemy. These chickens
will come home TO roost with ven
geance some day. Should the roads be
coerced into doing something which
they don't want 10 do the criticism
will simply be moved from where 1t
belongs There ia no more reason for
the newspaper trying to COMPEL the
railroads to publish their time tables
than there would be for the railroads
TO try to compel the publishers to ride
100 miles on their roads each month.

Three Big Fellows.

The Inpex has frequently printed
stories of the large fruit and vege-
tables and grain raised in this end
of the Payette valley, and it has
been so busily occupied in doing SO
that it has had no eyes for other big
productions. A few weeks ago,
three men standing together on the
street attracted attention because of
their size. They were Charlie Hart
ley, Leslie Mills and Charlie Hedrick.
Hartley tips the beam at 240 pounds,
Mills at 245 and Hedrick at 260.
Their total weight is 745 pounds,
They are all well proportioned, mus
cular fellows, none of them having
any superfuous flesh. John Bar
bour and Charlie Myers are also
large fellows for their age and each
weighs over two hundred pounds.
There are few small men around
town, but-well, we'd rather not
mention them.

Only Girl In Family

A baby girl was born to Mr.. and
Mrs. Dwight Hopkins on Friday
and there is great rejoicing not on
" by the parents but by the grand
parents as well, because the little
one is the only girl born into the
Hopkins family in:two generations.
The offspring of the grandparents
Mr.. and Mrs. David Hopkins were
all boys and no daughters have
corneto the children who have mar
ried. 1t is therefore no wonder
that there should be great rejoicing
among the Hopkinses over the ar
rival of the only girl in two gene
ra,ions. David Hopkins, the
grandfather, is 80 years old and is
one IF the pioneers of the valley.
He is as active as man half his
age and enjoys life fully as much.

gratulations

HAS DEL ND [. n!
Rumor Says He Has; Nj
Dewey Says He Hasn't.

A report was current lost week
thad E. H. Dewey had disposed OF
all his holdings at Nampa, consist
ing of the Idaho Northern railroad,
the Murphy line and the Dewey Pal
ace hotel. An agent, acting for q
syndicate of Spokane capitalists,
was stated to be the purchaser and
had planked down one million plunks
to bind the bargain and had another
cool million and a half in his jeans
pocket ready to hand over whenever
the deeds to the property were de-
hvered. With such rumors running
around loose. there were of course,
visions of a round house and that
dear little peanut roaster, alias q
short, alias dewdad of the jollywhop-
per the whole thing being moved
to Emmett and extensions being
made to Long Valley, Garden valley,
Jerusalem and Tifnbuetoo.
But, alas, the rvlmor proved to be
nothing but a THANKSGIVING joke
hat Richard Purdum perpetrated on
Mr. Dewey, and the aforesaid visions
5anished into thin air.

The Motor Shows Up.

Sunday afternoon Emmett re
ceived a shock from which she
won't recover for many moons.
The peanut roaster came to town.
1t was evidently trying to travel
incognito. being painted a most
dizzy red, bu. it couldn't fool us.
1t had the same old smell and the
same old asthmatic chug, chug,
chug. The wind whistled through
its whiskersrs of yore. and the hot
air pipes were frozen as solidly as
ever. 1t was run as a special for
the teachers who had spent
Thanksgiving out of town, So no
cause for alarm.

4 new HOME FOR THE
GOLDEN RULE
Modern Store Building to be
Erected Early Next
Year.

The Golden Rule store is t.
have new home, and what is bet
ter still it will be its own landlord
Work will begin on the building
early next year
The new building will be erected
on the opposite side of Main street
from the present location, and
will join the Loree & Reilly store
building on the east. 1t will have
frontage Of so feet and a depth
OF 130. The height Of the building
has not been decided upon, but Mr..
Rundstrom states that it is prob
able only one story will be built
at this time, lbut that the walls and
foundations will be made sufficient
ly large to support two or more
stories. Owing to a scarcity of
brick, the side and rear walls will
be constr ucted of cement blocks.
The front will be of pressed brick.
A basement will be constructed un-
derneath. which will contain be-
sides heating plant, spacious sales
and stotage rooms The Golden
Rule store has had a remarkable
growth since it started in business
here FIVE wears ago. At that time
1t occupied the present Index
building. The following year its
business had grown to such pro-
portions that larger quarters be-
came necessary, and the building
it now occupies was erected es-
pecially for its use by the late Elias
Anderson. Today, larger quarters
are as imperative as they were four
years ago. Guods are piled up
from floor to ceiling. Partitions
have been repeatedly torn out to
make more room, but the limit has
1t last been reached, and the build
ng that will anticipate the Great +
er Emmett that is foreshadowed in
he near future has been decided |

ELECTRIC LIGHT SURE
Terms Have Been Agreed upon
with DR.. Woods, Promoter Of
the Enterprise,
IN LESS THAN NINETY DAYS
The Light and Power Plant will
Be Installed and in Full
Operation.

Socorro will be provided with
a modern electric light and pow
er plant in less than ninety days.
DR.. +. l.. Woods, the promoter
of the enterprise, was in the city
Wednesday .and Thursday and
he and Mayor BurSum agreed
upon the terms of the franchise
that the city council will proba-
bly, grant.
The proposed franchise guards
the city's interests to a very un-
usual degree. At least, Doctor
Woods says that no such terms
were ever before exacted from a
company Offering to install
public utility in city in New
Mexico.
According to the terms of the
franchise agreed upon, the city
gets one one thousand candle
power arc light and twenty high
efficiency lights free of charge.
The arc light will be placed at
the top of the tower in the plaza
and the twenty other lights will
be distributed where most need
ed.
Every user of electric light
can regulate the cost of such
light to suit himself, as he will
pay for only the electricity that
he consumes. 1t is estimated
that the cost of lighting a room
or house will be but very little
more, if any more, than the cost
of the same amount of light
from coal oil.
Doctor Woods left Socorro
Thursday morning for FL Paso,
where he will make a contract
for the poles to be used in in
stalling the plant. From there
he will go to St. Louis and Chi
cago to purchase other necessary
supplies. Before leaving Socor-
ro he expressed the opinion that
the light and power plant would
be installed and in full opera
ton in less than three months.
AT anv rate" he said, no
time will be wasted"
Business men of Socorro have
subscribed for between seventhou-
sand and eight thousand dollars
worth of the stock in the compa-
ny to be organized. This was a
condition that Doctor Woods in
sisted upon before he would take
any active steps in the enter
prise.
The drawing of the franchise
and articles of incorporation is
now in the hands of Attorney
Jas. G. Fitch. AS soon as they
are ready for publication the
Chieftain will give full particu-
lars. Meantime, every citizen
of Socorro has good reason to be
proud of the fact that the Gem
City is about to take one more
long step of progress.
