Locomotive for Construction Work
Ordered-Tica and Material Being
Rapidly Placed on Right Of Way.

Tho Mlner-Gooding railroad, in
course of construction and to be
eventually one Of the network of cleo
trio lines that will traverse the south
eastern part of the state, will be OPP
Grated by steam this fall and winter
and until such a time next spring as
the trolley wires can be strung on the
pole line, which will be erected
The first locomotive has been pur-
chased by the Twin Falls company,
which is putting through the electric
road for construction work and or
ders have been issued from headquar-
ters to rush the work as fast as pos
sible. All material for the new road,
including ties and rails, have been pur-
chased and are being delivered along
the right of way as rapidly as pos
sible.
S. H. Hays, attorney for the Twin
Falls company, and one Of those inter-
ested in the building of the Miner
GOoding road, stated, when seen this
afternoon, that it is true that work is
| being rushed along as fast as possible,
and that track laying will proceed at
| a rapid rate until completed.
In regard to the operation of the
| road this fall he said: During the
| fall the road will be operated with
steam, the trolley wires to be strung
early next spring. The ties and rails
are being delivered on the ground as
fast as we can get them. all such ma
terial for the roadbed having been pur-
chased. Orders have been issued to
rush the work The track laying has
commenced locomotive, the first that
will be in operation On the road, hav-
| ing been purchased from the Oregon
Short Line Company for construction
| purposes.
cit is the first time that anything SO
ambitious has been attempted in this
state, the people filing upon land many
miles from any transportation and will
be able to go on the land next spring
for the purpose of settling there and
| find railroad within few miles OF
their land and water ready for their
ranches.-Capital News.

Long Awaited Decision Anent
the Disputed Lines.
JUDGE WALTERS, AFTER MUCH
STUDY ON CASE, ENDS
SUSPENSE.
Written Decision Not Given-Letter to
w Twin Falls Attorneys Notifies Them
of Resqlt-Appeal Taken.

The following letter from Judge Ed
ward A. Walters of the Fourth district,
about the survey controversy, will be
of great interest to all the litigants on
the tract, and is published as received
without comment
Shoshone, Idaho, Sept 4th, '0S.
Messrs Sweeley & Sweeley and S. I.
Hamilton, Twin Falls, Idaho. and
Messrs. Stockslager 4 Bowen, HALEY
Idaho:
Gentlemen: In the case of Hum
phrey ct al, VS.. James &. Whitney e.
al, known as the Survey Case;" iudg-
ment will be ordered in favor of tne
plaintiffs, as prayed for in the,r con-
plant
AS I leave within the next couple of
days for Albion, l will not have time
or be able to indicate to you the views
I have taken in reaching the conclus-
ion now announced. BY reason of the
importance of this matter and the care,
attention and thoroughness with which
counsel on both sides have presented
it, and inasmuch as | have given it
perhaps more care and study than any
case yet before me, it is somewhat re-
luctantly that | forego the pleasure of
written opinion" The Judgment
shall be prepared on the theory that
the survey made by Leyisee locates the
lost government corners and is the
survey that shall be adopted as fixing
the boundaries of the lands here in
vOlved, ms described by the patents re-
ceived from the government or the
state. There is slight doubt in my
mind as to the last matter mentioned,
but it will be far better for the decree
to so recite in order that on appeal this
entire case may be settled and deter
mined Such authorities as were left
with me by counsel for inspection will
be returned at my earliest opportunity.
l trust counsel for plaintiffs will very
speedily prepare findings and decree.
Very truly yours,
EDWARD A. WALTERS.
The opinion means that the Levisee
survey, which was a refinding of gov
eminent corners, has been decided to
be the correct survey by the district
court This decision will not settle
the dispute and The Times has been
informed by one of the attorneys for the
company survey case that an immed-
late appeal will be taken to the .su-
preme court
