KIEFER AND CARNEGIE

Idaho Falls has been trying to de-
eide what to do about getting a site
for library and city hail., and the
matter of getting the money to buy
the site and erect the building.
Some are in favor of bonding and
some are not, and the newspapers
have been keeping up heavy FIR
ing all along the front. Now comes
H. w. Kiefer, register of the Black
foot Land Office and offers to donate
piece of ground joining the Idaho
Falls postoffice and the Register
building.
That settles the trouble as to the
site, and now If Mr.. Carnegie will
furnish the building. Idaho Falls will
be in a position to do the rest without
any trouble as in case of the Irish
man wishing to smoke He asked Pat
to give him the loan of pipe; Mike
the loan of some tobacco and match
and then he remarked, II have a
mouth of me own"

BURRELL TALKS OF AMERICAN
FALLS.
WIN. H. TAFT.

Mr. Burrell, formerly manager for
the c. w. & Company here, but now at
American Falls, has been visiting here
this week, and in speaking of the new
Power City, he said: TRADE Is very
good there, and it is nearly all cash
trade. ePople are coming in from east
ern states every day, and they come
with money to carry them through the
year. Many of them bring stock, i'm
plements and household goods with
them, and then buy what more they
about these people is that they get
rigth out on their land and begin
farming at once. They start the sage
grubbers and the plows, and If neces-
sary to build some kind of a shack
thay do that but keep the farm work
going.
Men coming in this spring will har-
this fall, and that will furnish them
feed and seed. They are good thrifty
class of people and If they did not have
some money they could not expect to
succeed in a place where they have
so many things to buy the first year.
Now there is the item of hay alone
we sell something like car day of
baled hay that goes out to feed the
work stock on the new farms about
Aberdeen. Next year most Of them will
be raising their own hay.
'These settlers adapt themselves to
the conditions more readily than many
others I have seen. Why, the mer-
chants Of American Falls have been
shipping in eggs from Cache alley and
various places to supply the home mar
ket ever since they have been in bust
ness, and last year these new settlers
began to come in and settle about Alb
erdeen, and many of them brought
chickens with them, as we'll as good
mich cows. Pretty soon those people
ter and eggs to sell, and now we get
enough eggs from the farmers to sup
ply the trade. Others who have been
living in the country for ten or twenty
years could have supplied the trade but
as matter of fact they did not do it,
and they had to send the money away
That is only one illustration of the way
these people la yhold of conditions and
turn things to good account It is so
all over southern Idaho where people
are setting on Carey lands. Now, I am
not saying anything against the poor
man who can not do things through
lack of money, nor against the man
who is good and honest and ambitious
but poor, but it takes people with
means to grapple with such conditions
as we have to offer down there, and the
lands were sold to people who have the
means to meet the conditions
1--WE have sheep shearing plant
there now and there will be about fifty
thousand sheep sheared there this sea-
son. This brings money to town. We
expect to have some kind of manu-
featuring plant there within a short
time; 1T is delayed somewhat by the
panicy times. but American Falls is
going to be city one of these days.

PRES. ELLIOTT PROTESTS

LEWISTON, Idaho, Feb. 3.-Bla-
ming antitrust legislation for the
cessation in railroad building except
on projects well under way, Presi-
dent Howard Elliot of the Northern
Pacific railroad declares that the
west has been retarded Is years by
the great power given to commits
sions, his opinion being that the in
terstate commerce commission is the
greatest check to further develop
ment. In speaking of what he calls
hostility of the administration to
corporate interests, Mr.. Elliott said
to a Spokesman-Review representa-
tive:
mot satisfied with the havoc al
ready wrought by extreme and UNI
wise statements, President Roose-
welt yesterday made another attack
on corporations. His recommends
tion for federal control of stock issues
of corporations is so rabid as to be
alarming. The encroaching power
given commissions over railroads has
checked building for years to come
and the west must suffer for this un-
wise legislation. This talk about

cal entertainments II the ladies

public because all are possessed OF
a high degree OF musical talent
which is backed up by experience
and practice.

watered railroad stock is untrue.
There is not a single drop of water
in any of the railroad stocks of the
country. It would be impossible to
replace the railroads for the par val
ne of the railroad stocks of the coun-
try today.
1T is time the people called a halt
on this vicious legislation. for 1t must
be checked IL future development
is to be expected. Take the North
ern Pacific railroad for an in
stance of the absence of water,
or, as better stated. over-capitaliza-
ton. Our earnings amount to 4.23
per cent, certainly not too much for
investors. How many business men
of Lewiston would be satisfied with
such small profit. All railroad de-
velopment work not largely COM
pleted must stop because of the pow
er given to commissions and bureaus
under the present administration.
Instead of giving these commissions
more power they must be shorn OF
some they now possess before cor
porate conditions again become nor

ton also related to the Northern Pa
cifie land grants.
Senator Fuller continued. saying
land grants made in the '70's. were
coupled with the condition that the
land should be sold to actual set
tiers at price not exceeding $3.50
per acre.
"A great deal of the land" he
said, is held by the railroad com
panies and they refuse to sell it for
$3.50 an acre.
Senator Fulton said he believed
in either having the terms of the
grants complied with or in forcing
the companies to return the land to
the government
Senator Hepburn suggested that
it has been customary for the rail-
roads to require settlers in purehas-
ing lands to purchase improvements
the settlers themselves had made be-
fore purchase and wanted that i'm
proyement matter also inquired into.
The consideration of the resolu-
ton was postponed.
Senator Tillman then offered an
other resolution relating to the same
subject and requiring the attorney
general to institute proceedings to
enforce compliance with the condi-
tions accompanying the land grant
or to restore the lands to the public
domain. or to report to the congress
why such action had not been or
should not be taken. without COM
ment this resolution ives referred to
the committee on judiciary.

Leaving out these solid Mormon
Counties Lansdon received PLAZA
votes and Galloway received 21,914.
If the committee apportions the
delegates on the vote for Secretary
of State, allowing one delegate for
100 Republican votes cast, the con-
vention will consist of $50 delegates.
A majority will be 191.
The solid Mormon Counties will
furnish 165 of these or within 26 of
enough. The Mormons cast about
one-half the Republican vote in
Blaine, one-half in Lincoln, and about
one-third in Canyon. These three
counties gave Lansdon 1888 votes,
and If with their Mormon proclivities
in the Republican party-they
should join the solid Mormon coun-
ties, thus furnishing 81 votes to the
machine the balance of the state in
convention would be powerless.
Leaving out these counties, or adding
any one of them or a portion of
each to Ada with it's 23 votes, on the
Secretary of State vote, the majority
would be ample. Latah will have %
votes based on the Secretary of State
vote, and Mr.. French should easily
control these, If he is to be the church
candidate again, and the difficulty Of
picking up four more delegates would
be easy of adjustment.
Lansdof> might want to be Secre-
tary of State again and should be
able to control Washington with nine
votes, or Bragaw might consent to
enter the combine with 80 votes from
old Kootenai, or 10 from new Koot-
enai. Neg Perez will have 2S votes,
and some ambitious gentlemen in
thu community might desire to go
to Congress, either upper or lower
branch or to be Governor. Nee Perez
and the solid Mormon Counties would
suffice.
Shoshone will have 10 votes, with
in seven Of enough to make a major
ity with the Brethren" Appar-
emily on any apportionment the Nor
mons will not have to seek alliances.
They will await overtures.
Our advice to the ambitious re-
mains the same. Consult the Salt
Lake authorities. and IL consent is
given carry your delegation safe

Paul will be running passenger trains
into Seattle in the summer of 1909.
We are pushing construction work

The foregoing announcement of
the date of completion of the trans
continental extension of the c., M.

ing by A. j. Earling, president of
the road, who arrived in Seattle for
a two weeks stay, during which he
will confer with, the local officials of
the line and inspect the work done
in this vicinity, says Seattle report.
Earring has spent several days in
Portland, but beyond stating that
work on the math-Vancouver di-
vision of the North Bank road is pro-
crossing favorably, would have little
to say about the new connecting
link between Portland and Seattle.
He denied that his visit had anything
to do with the coming to Seattle
next week of President Howard Ell
lott of the Northern Pacific and
President Louis Hill of the Great
Northern.
Accompanying Earling are C. A..

According to advices received from
San Francisco, ]. H. Hiland, third

F. A. Miller, general passenger agent
of the same line, left that city on the

themselves the business that can be
secured from the orient when the

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Sena-
tor Tillman introduced a resolution
calling upon the president to inform
the senate whether railways receiv-
ing land grants containing conditions
requiring that such should be sold to
actual settlers only and for the
amounts named in the grants, have
violated the terms of the grants and
what action has been taken by the
department of justice look into these
matters.
The preamble of the resolution re-
ferred to the railways of the Pacific
coast as the ones indicated and stat
ed that the department of justice
had information concerning the mat
ter. Senator Keane objected to the
immediate consideration of the reso-
luton. whereupon Senator Tillman
said he had observed the things he
aimed at in his resolution while on a
trip last summer. He was then told
that these railroads had refused to
comply with the terms of their
grants and would not sell their land.
Grants Show Plain Conditions.
Senator Fulton said he was famil-
lar with the matters referred to in
this resolution and that the road
against which the complaint is aim
ed is now a part of the Southern Pa
eific system.

MILLS TO START
SAVING LUMBER
Repairs About Completed and Big
Plants to Resume Operations

Nothing in business way will be
hailed with delight by the public gem
orally more than the opening OF the
big sawmills for the seasons run.
During the past few weeks these
plants have been undergoing repairs,
changes and overhauling which viii
put them in good shape for a heavy
cut during the present year.
While the big mill of the Occur
d'Alene Lumber company has been
shut down for several weeks a large
force OF men has been employed in
making repairs and changes for the
betterment of the plant and when 1t
starts in a few weeks 1t will be in
fine condition for the biggest cut In
its history. New foundations are be-
ing constructed where they will
strengthen the mill. new slip is be-
ing put in and the company is adding
a new floor and tracks to the mill
A new edger will be added to the
equipment and brick foundations
are being placed under the boilers
and the large burner Is being lined
with fire brick, The stacks are to be
painted and the whole mill will be
put In good order before 1t is started
for the season.
Asked when the mill would start,
the Press was informed that Just as
soon as the improvements were
completed steam would be turned
on and the mill start with full
crew of men. The company thinks 1t
will be toward April, before 1t is
able to resume operations, but II will
start when the improvements are
completed.
The B. II. Lewis Lumber company
has had its mill closed for several
weeks making repairs and additions
for the big cut which 1t expects to
make this year. II has made many
improvements and the planning mill.
with a crew of 25 men has been run
ming for several weeks. The repairs
to the sawmill are now completed and
the manager OF the company, in
response to an inquiry by the Press
this morning, stated that It was his
intention to start the mill just as
soon as the weather moderated. II
may be running before the end OF
the week and the manager, Earl
Rodgers, thought there would be no
doubt of its starting not later than
next week unless the weather contin-
ued very cold. II is probable steam
will be gotten up between this and
Monday. The company will start with
125 men on the pay roll and the force
Is to be increased as It becomes nee
essary.
The Kidd Island Lumber company
has not started its mill, which has
been idle for a number OF weeks, but
all repairs are completed and Mr..
Gunderson stated that he could not
say just when they would begin cut
ting but the prospects were that II
would not be long.

damage was slight.
