n. P. FIGHTS NEW LINE.
To Make No Connections With Nez
Perez Road, Is Report.


NEE PIERCE, Idaho. July 25.-It
is definitely stated here that the
Northern Pacific has served notice
upon z. A, Johnson. the builder Of
the prairie electric line, that connec-
tions with their line will be refused.
The decision OF the railroad company
is due to a policy to discourage the
building of feeder systems by private
individuals or companies.
The johnson electric line Is now
being constructed from Nez Perez TO
a connection with the Northern Paci-
&c line at a point south OF Vollmer
and it was expected such arrange
ments would be made as would per-
init the Johnson road to load direct
ly into the Northern Pacific cars at
the electric road loading stations.
The proposed electric line Is about
IS miles in length and is being con-
strueted 10 AFFORD transportation re-
lief to Nez Perez and the eastern sec
ton of the Nez Perez prairie Con-
struction crews are now engaged in
the grade work and It is expected the
road will be completed and ready for
operation within the next three
months. The decision OF the North
ern Pacific will necessitate a trans
fer of all freight and while this will
embarrass the operation of the indie
pendent line to some extent It is not
believed the operation of the road
will be materially affected.
The people Of Nez Perez and the
surrounding country have provided q
bonus OF $4,000 in money and q
right Of way, which has cemented the
interests OF the entire community ID
the new road.

the two Roberts boys started a rough
house; that they rushed into the sa-
loon, pushed the slot machines of the
bar and were about to. take posses
sion when the bartender put them
out. Anderson says that then the
Roberts boys, standing on the rail-
road track, began shooting through
the saloon door. but did not hit any
one. the bartender returned the
fire, hitting the elder, Louis, in the
calf of the leg and cutting an artery.
causing him to bleed profusely. The
younger, John, was shot in his hip.
Neither of the wounds is serious.

from the breakwater.
After being dressed In dry clothing
the little girl was taken to police

a few minutes before her father, who
during the afternoon and evening had

Not realizing that she had been
robbed OF her mother, but still con-
scious of the fact that something ter

in the least bewildered. She told
clear story OF the affair to Police

self and the child. In the morning
after her husband left the house she
had turned on the gas. but the sensi-

odor Of escaping gas and she turned

COUNTY WILL Be
WELL BOOSTED"
From SATURDAYS Daily Post.

From Saturdays Daily Post.
Garfield county will be extensively
advertised at the 10Th national irriga-
tion congress which opens in Albuquer-
que next Tuesday and the pre-
cminence of the county in at least one
line of industry will be emphatically
impressed upon the thousands of dele
gates and visitors at the congress who
will represent every state in the union
and almost every country of the globe.
The portion of the county which will
be thus extensively advertised is the
Carbondale district, which is rapidly
coming to the front as the producer of
the finest potatoes grown in the world,
although thus far the lack of concerted
effort to advertise the section has kept
it in comparative obscurity. On Mid
land No. 6 tonight an exhibit of 600
pounds of the finest extra selected po-
tatoes, together with oats and grain,
will be shipped to Albuquerque where
through arrangements made by Hon.
Eugene Grubb, a delegate from Colora-
do, they will be given prominent po-
sition and large space among the
agricultural exhibits.
The exhibit will be in charge of II.
L. Edgerton, prominent potato grow
or of Carbondale, who will distribute
all the information about Carbondalc
at his command to all inquirers. Mr..
Edgerton will also distribute handsome
little booklets on the Carbondale dis
trict which were prepared by w. W.
Gail for the farmers and business men
of that section who are paying the cost
of the advertising of their. district by
popular subscription.
The boosting that the Carbondale
district will get in these two days will
be supplemented by the ability and en-
ergy in that line of Mr.. Grubb who
leaves for Albuquerque tonight with
Mrs. Grubb and who will tell the 9th
er members Of the congress- few
things that will open their eyes regard
| ing the CarbondAls district. ~
