AGENT STATE-LAND BOARD
WILL VISIT AMERICAN FALLS
To Hear Complaints, Il Any. Which Ea-
trymea Have 10 Make.

At meeting Of the state land board
Monday. among other things. it was
decided 10 send an agent of the board to
hear complaints. il any. which the en-
trymcn under the American Falls Canal
system may have to make. There was
nothing in the published proceedings to
indicate whom the agent might be. but
it has been the custom to assign such
tasks to the state engineers Office. II
it is the intention to inquire into the
construction of the system the state
engineer will unquestionably have
charge of the inquiry. But II II is only
to examine into the relations Of the
company with the cntrymen. or the
manner in which the former is fulfilling
its contract with the latter, any em-
ploye Of the state land department, or
anyone whom the board may deem es-
pecially qualified. may be sent. II is
probable, however, that both lines of
inquiry will be followed. and the inves-
tigation will probably be made at the
homes of cntrymen and along the banks
of the canal. The system is nearing
completion and the board doubtless is
seeking information not only as to the
character Of construction. but as to it,
operation as well.

RAILWAY THROUGH
The CAREY TRACT
Plans for Branch Of Oregon
Short Line Approved.
Surveying Crew Will Begin Running
Preliminary Line Soon and Road
to Be in Operation Before
Winter Begins.

Word reaches the press that General
Manager Bancroft, Of the Oregon Short
Line. has approved the plan Of building
a railroad from American Falls through
the American Falls carey tract, and
that corps of engineers will be at
work within the next ten days making
preliminary survey. The road is TO
be built. equipped and in operation be-
fore the beginning of winter.
Efforts have been made to induce the
company to make an electric line of this
branch, and the matter has been given
consideration, but the probabilities are
strongly in favor Of steam road. Had
the electric line originally projected
been constructed, IL would have been
extended 10 Blaekfoot. Whether the
steam road will extend beyond Spring
field is matter of conjecture. II may
connect with the Maekay branch, or it
may be built no further than Springfield.
Wherever the road stops, however,
its building is good news TO the carey
entrymen. and will result in a substan-
tal advance Of land values. As one en-
tryman remarked Monday. my land is
already worth $40 AN acre more than il
WAS before the decision to build the line
was reached.
