Where VIII Junction Be?

The Middleton correspondent o

the Emmett extension of the Inter
urban with the Boise valley line:
"Tell us where Pierce is going
to cross with his Nampa- Emmett
line and you will tell us where to
make some money is the morning
and evening song of ell Boise val

supposed to be the place to pick up
property. No one is close enough
to Mr.. Pirece to get hint. At
Middleton he claim is being freely
made that hers the junction is to
be, but no one has ii from head
quarters The Dewey trains are
running on time since the rumor
that the Boise and Interurban had
taken over the road and the cree
ton of a union depot makes the
claim look feasible. There are
those who are holding off from buy
ing property until they can see
which way the straws blow. 1t is
that surveying party is
TO take the field soon and then the
guessers will have a lot of new
on which to work. That
there is any likelihood of the road
,rossing half way between Middle
on and Star is hardly to be con-
,idered. This, of course, would do
lway with the two present nice
title villages in this part of the
ALLEY and doubtless build up a
rood town at the place of crossing,
mt TO do this would mean a paral-
ell line with the Dewey road and
nobody thinks this will be done. "
