MOUNTAIN HOME
is BOUND TO WIN
Omaha Man Enthusiastic Over the
irrigation Project at
This Place.

Geo. Finnerty of Omaha, Nebras-
ka, returned to his home last week
after visiting Sunny Southern Ida
ho, the land of opportunity where
fortune awaits all alike who are
willing to take the chance and cast
their lot in the far west.
To say that Mr.. Finnerty is an
enthusiast over the prospects of this
section would not half express the
truth. He has invested in beau
tiful piece of property near Sunny
side and he stated that the more he
investigates conditions out here the
ings. 81 have been over the ground
at Sunnyside and l know what
am talking about he stated to
Maverick before his return. 1.-The
ditch is coming as rapidly as men
and teams can be secured to do the
work and when it is finally COM
p1eted and water is turned loose on
to the lands of Sunnyside there will
be such a celebration and ground
breaking as the west never heard
of before. l tell you the people are
all mighty enthusiastic over this
project and we are bound to win.
| pui chased over a year ago and in
tended to move onto the land at the
time, but, through the persuasion
of my employees, decided to wait an
other year. But, | will be with
you this fall and there is going to
be something doing. Maverick
comes to me regularity and let ms
tell you that lis never idle, in fact
it works all week. l have several
friends interested III that section
and your paper travels the rounds
regularly which keeps it very busy. y
Mr.. Fiunerty is the right sort
and we will gladly welcome him tc
the state. A few young men of the
1 Finnerty stamp, filled with his op-
tiInism and enthusiasm will work
wonders in this land where action
is wanted rather than men with
theories and ideas of how things
should be done, and this class ot
men is going to mean the redeam-
ing of the great desert more thar
any other known agency.

judges was anxiously awaited and
the announcement of the unani-
nous verdict in favor of Mountain
Home was the signal for an en-
thusa astic demonstration.
Professor Osborne, principal of
the Mountain Home high school
was chairman of the evening, and
after brief summary of the lead
ing points of the question for de-
bate, introduced the first speaker,
Flank Colthorpe of MounfainHome.
II his speech Mr.. Coltborpe dwelt
principally upon the insufficiency
of the present system of banking as
demonstrated by the recent money
panic. He made an impressive
argument and one which created a
very favorable sentiment for the
affirmative. Juy Robertson of the
Caldwell team followed with we'll
delivered talk, showing himself to
be perfectly at home on the platfoi m
and displaying an intimate ac-
quaintance with his subject.
Lydia Lathinen was the second
speaker for Mountain Home and
showed the advantages of postal
savings banks as indicated by the
success of similar institutions

of the service. 1t was also found
by the board that Yard Master Hic-

U. S. to Try Train Robbers

Helena, Mont, Jan. limited
States marshal Merrifeld left today
for Kalispell with positive instruc-
ton to bring to this city for trial
Charles Mcdonald and G. F. Hau-
ser, who are charged in indict-
ments recently returned with the
theft of four registered packages,
each containing $4,000 which
were stolen from the mail car at
the holdup of the Great Northern
train near Rondo last September.
The accused are in Jail at Kalispell
under state charges of train rob-
berry. They were captured in Spo-
kane and taken to Flathead county,
and it is understood here that the
county officials, especially the pros
ecuting attorney, are vigorously
opposed to the removal, inasmuch
as the penalty for train robbery is
far greater than under the federal
statutes for rifling the mails. How
ever, it is not anticipated that any
serious trouble will result.
Merrifeld is the former partner
of President Roosevelt in the cattle
business, and stated before leaving
that he would bring the prisoners
back safely despite their we'll
known regulations as desperapoes.
The outcome is awaited with much
interest.

ATTENTION is CALLED
By "Citizen" to Condition of Williams
town Branch Railroad.

Editor Daily Times. ! desire through
your columns to call the attention Of
the state railroad commissioners and the
travelling public to the condition OF the
Central Vermont roadbed on what is
known as the Nilliamstown branch. Per-
haps this will give clue why the trains
so frequently run off the iron, but as
yet no fatalities have occurred.
This broadbed. which has long been
termed a streak OF rust and the right OF
way is fast degenerating into what may
he called a phantom line The writer
had occasion recently to walk over that
part Of the line from South Barre north
to Hooker cut. fraction over mile.
Being somewhat obserrant, | began to
count some of the defects in the joints
oil tic old WORKOUT rails, with this re.
suit. ! found nine joints where both
rails are held together with ono solitary
bolt; 20 joints with two bolts in one
end only, and much larger number
with two bolts, where there should have
been four. as everyone knows.
A part OF these defects are on a dan
gerous curve and at the top OF high en-
hanknients. TO compel the travelling pub
ne to risk their lives when riding over
such d skeletonized roadbed is a shame
and disgrace. II anyone doubts my
statements, let them take walk over
the afol asaid seetiond OF railroad track.
Citizen.
