That building of a railroad from
Idaho so as to effect direct connec-
ton from Ely district with the Ore
gon Short Line will be reality in
the near future was given further as
surance yesterday ny the, filing of ar
ticles of Incorporation at the court
house by the strong interests behind
the great land and irrigating pro-
iects operating extensively in Idaho.
The articles filed with the county re-
corder give the name of the railroad
as the Idaho and Nevada Southern
and the capitalization Is placed at
$3.50. 900. The names of the incor-
porators are II. l.. Hollister, Chicago;
c. b. HURT. Boise, Idaho: |. b. Per-
rine. Twin Falls, Idaho; S. NJ Nc
Cullen. and s. II. Hays. Boise. Idaho.
All but a small number of the p
500 shares. comprising the capital
stock of the company, are owned by
Mr. Hollister. who is one of the
principal promoters of the Twin Falls
Land & Irrigation corporation con-
trolling upwards of 100000 acres
of land in southern Idaho. 1t is pro-
posed to place all of this vast area
in condition for the raising of the
finest of crops. Already more than
half of the area is under irrigation
and much of II Is producing enor-
nous quantities of products of every
description.
Building of the railroad proposed
by the corporation which yesterday
filed their articles here will mean

tend toward reduction of prices of
the principal commodities. Nearly
all varieties of the finest quality of
fruits are produced in the section
where the big land and irrigation
projects are being builded up as well
as all manner of other staple products
and these will, by virtue of the new
railroad. be brought to the. very door
of this district. il being the object
of the promoters to create new mar
kets IN this state for their commodi-
7 ties.

None of the bills was under $500

ones predominating.
The theft created sensation
throughout the country, and congress
at the last session was asked. and
refused. to release Assistant Treas
urer Boldenweck from liability, al
though 1t was promised that congress
would again consider the matter al
it's next session.
NEWSPAPER MANS WORK.
Meanwhile Herbert F. Young. a
former Chicago newspaper reporter.
and now head of the Young Secret
Service agency. became interested in
the case. at first without official con-
nection. but later as the agent of Mr..
Boldenweck. Mr. Young's attention
was directed to Fitzgerald. The lat
ter. upon his discharge from the sub
treasury. stated that his whole for
tune consisted of 5000 in cash and
stock certificate for $1,000. His
wife had a s700 interest in the es-
tate of her mother, which was valued
at about $4,000 and was in litiga-
tion.
TOO MUCH SPECULATION.
Fitzgerald. however. according TO
Mr. Young, embarked in speculation
on a scale not consistent with the
size of his reputed means. There
was, however. no ostentation in Fitz-
gerald's life. The lavish display
which detectives invariably look for
in tracing stolen funds was absent.
Fitzgerald bought eggs for specnla-
tion and stored them. In July, 1907,
he inaugurated an egg deal which
ultimately. it is stated, involved an
expenditure of $1,000. and the fol-

Shore railroad which he held as Sc
curity for loan and which he sold.
and appropriated the amount.
officials of the company were of

Lynch lately loaned the Ocean

disposition had been made of these

DISCHARGED FOR NEGLIGENCE.

Much work was done on the theory
that the crime had been perpetrated
bv a colored man. Meanwhile Fitz-
gerald was discharged from the gov
ernment employ for culpable negli-
gence in allowing such theft to be
consummated under his very eyes.
The money stolen had been used and
was tied up in packages, some of
which had been marked for destruc-
ton in Washington. Any of them
would readily have passed anywhere
except for their large denominations,
