Funds for Magnificent School
Building for Shoshone Car
ried by Unanimous Vote
ROOM FOR TWELVE GRADES
The School Needs of Greater Shoshons
Will be Fully Provided For by
Elegant New Building

The school bond election last Friday
resulted in a unanimous vote for the
bonds, not a single vote being cast
against them.
This means that the sum of s45, 900
will be expended in building fine, big
school house ana in purchasing the
necessary lots to enlarge the old
grounds to accommodate it.
According to the present plans of the
board the sum of S35, 900 will be ex-
pended on the new building which will
contain ten large class rooms, auditor
ium and superintendent room on the
first and second floors. There will be
full sized basement that will accommo-
date two large play rooms or gymnas-
iums besides store and furnace rooms.
Library and other small rooms will
also be provided for
1t is not the intention or desire of the
board to assume any more responsi-
bility in the matter than is necessary
and they have plans and specifications
on hand that they desire the patrons of
the school to call in and look over and
criticise or commend as they see fit.
1t is impossible for the members of
any school board to please everybody
and they should not be required to do
so. Their duty is to go head and do
the best they can under the circum
stances and that is just what they are
doing. But it would tighten their work
very much if the patrons of the school
generally would express their views on
these all important matters and thus
enable the boaid to form a more cor
rect estimate of what the district
wants.
This new high school building, in
connection with the fine brick ward
building on the north side, will give
ample room for twelve full grades. pro-
badly all that will be needed for some
years to come.
The school board are to be congratu-
lated on the happy conclusion of the
bond question and they should be up
held and sustained in their endeavors
to put the buildings and equipment in
such condition that the school popula-
tion of greater Shoshone may be ac-
commodated and the present high
standing of the school may be sustained
and carried to still greater heights of

Teach the Girls to Keep House

Denver, Colo, July 9.-"Our cities
are filled with miserable women, heart
sick men, and blighted homes, due to {
lack of instruction for girls in the
grammar and high school courses in the
fundamentals of home economics. F"
This was the statement made by Presi-
dent Cree T. Work of the College of
Industrial Arts, Denton, Texas, in an
address at the National Education as
sociation convention, today. The
speaker, in the address which was de-
livered before the department of manual
training, pleaded for the more general
introduction into the public school cur
riculum of arts and sciences related to
home interests. President Work re-
cognized the desirability of vocational
schools for women, but emphasized the
idea that the courses in such schools
should also provide thorough practical
training in home economics, because
whatever the present ambitions and oc-
cupations of the girls, they will some
day have homes to direct.
"Our girls should know the how
of the art of housekeeping and home
making at least fully as well as their
mothers, and the why good deal
better, said the speaker. The finan-
cial problems of the home and house
hold accounts must be studied A
practical acquaintance with the pro-
blems of housekeeping adds to the
freedom and comfort of women and
girls, and also prepares them for tax
ing their part in guarding the
home against the impositions of con-
scienceless commercial world Through
such training time and opportunity are
gained for the all-impOrtant intellectual
and social life of the home
'.The training of teachers, provision
for extension and demonstration
work in home economies, and the
further introduction Of industrial arts
and sciences into the curricula of our
elementary and secondary schools, .
were pointed out as most important
slept to be taken for the preservation (
and upbuilding of the American nome.

BUILDING GOING ON IN CITY
Brief Description of Operations that
Shows Shoshone on the Map

Machinery is being received for the
Shoshone brick plant and manufacture
will begin in a short time.
The rock basement of w. C. Custer's
new block on the north side of Raj
street is nearly up.

Wernicke's rear building has been
moved across the street and prepara-
tons are going on to clear the way for
excavating for the Fred w. Gooding
block on the corner This with Wer-
nicke's block will make five solid busi-
ness fronts to go up at once on Wal
nut street, and work on them is going
forward as fast as conditions will
warrant.
1t is understood that the W. H.
Baugh building on the corner of Rail
and Greenwood streets, will be sheeted
with iron. With the buildings already
constructed to the east of it this will
give solid iron front of nearly half
block on east Rail street and all owned
by DR.. Baugh.
T. H. Gooding's former residence is
being moved this week one half block
east and in its place a fine residence
will be built

RAILROAD BUILDING IN IDAHO
MANY Extensions Planned Through Irri-
gated Empire by Short Line

The Oregon Short Line and its aux
iliary branches are planning an ex-
tensive campaign in rail road building
in southern Idaho that promises much
for the upbuilding of this the largest
irrigated empire in the world.
One line is already under construction
from Twin Falls to the impounding dam
of the Salmon river irrigation project
and then on south to a connection with
the Southern Pacific at Wells, Nevada.
Another line is starting from Burley
to Oakley to tap the new Goose creek
irrigation project. An extensive line is
to branch from the Mackay road some
where north west of Blackfoot and
make for the head of Lemhi river
which it will follow down to its junction
with the Salmon river and then down
its valley to the mouth. One branch
from this road will run from Salmon
City to Challis.
A meeting Of the stockholders Of the
Minidoka and Southwestern has been
called to take action regarding an ex-
tension of that road from Bull west
ward through the Big Bruneau country
to a connection with the main line near
the western state line Another branch
is suggested that will pass through
Rupert, jerome, Wendell and on TO
Fuller on the main line.
Several Of these proposed roads to
the south Of US are talked of as main
lines, but to show that the main line
from Pocatello to Bliss is not to be re-
duced to branch line and Shoshone
made flag station just yet awhile, it /

Fred w. Gooding appeared before
the board of County Commissioners
this week and secured action on the
proposition of constructing a first class
road north from Shoshone to the north
ern limit of the north Shoshone tract of
the Idaho Irrigation company's project.
Three interests are concerned in this
road, Lincoln county, the Idaho Irri-
cation Co., and the city of Shoshone.
The board appointed commission of
three to represent these interests, con-
sisting of Paul R. Kartzke for the
county, Jas. A. Green for the Irrigation
company and Fred W. Gooding for Sho-
shone.
The county appropriated $500 the
Irrigation company like sum, and the
city of Shoshone $500. 90, making cash
total of s., 100000 that will be expended
on this road under the supervision of
the three commissioners.
1t is understood that the old road
leading north of Shoshone across the
lava beds to the steel bridge over Big
Wood river will be Strengthened, leveled
and graded to render il first-c
road, and from the bridge north a
road will be made to correspond in ex-
cellence with the first section, and
carried at least to the north line of the

WET OR DRY ELECTION LATER
Petition Not Filed in Time for Action of
Commissioners this Week

The election for deciding whether the
saloons will run or quit business in Lin
coin county will not be held before
November.
1t was intended to file the petitions
for the action of the present meeting
of the board of county commissioners,
but because some did not fully under
stand the conditions. of the law, a few
of the petitions dNsnot get in in time
to be filed the red6ired 10 days before
the meeting of the board
The success with which the petition
work was met was a surprise to most
sanguine advocates of no saloons.
Petitions were circulated in but of
the Is precincts of the county. Out
of the 1856 votes cast in these pre-
cincts, 1912 names were on the peti.
tons. Being nearly rs per cent of the
vote cast in those precincts.
With only 7precincts reporting, there
were AZ per cent Of the entire vote Of
the county.
Gooding headed the list with nearly
800 names on the petition while but PIG

at the last election.
Bliss only lacked two names of hav-

might be mentioned that a construction
train is now at work east of Shoshone
laying the main line from PocatelIo tc
Bliss with new 80 pound steel rails, the
best manufactured.
In addition to this siding is being
constructed between Shoshone and Die
trich and the order is given out to
build two new depots in Shoshone and
change and add to the yardage here so
as to handle the business in Shoshone
to better advantage and to prepare for
an immense increase in the roads busi-
ness in the immediate future that is
bound to come with the settling up of
the irrigation projects now under con-
struction on all sides of this city.
This strengthening of the main line
from PocatelIo to Bliss and westward
has been going on for a year and more.
Long side tracts have been constructed
every few miles all along this line.
Everything goes to show that the bust
ness of the road is increasing so fast
that increased facilities for handling it
become absolutely ly nesessary.
With the increase of business that
must come with the development of
the irrigation projects now under con-
struction, single track main line
road cannot handle the business. A
double track becomes necessary or
another line must be built to supple
ment the main line. What more nat
ural then than for line to be built
south of this through the Twin Falls
North Side project that will supple
ment the main line and relieve the con-
gestion of travel and traffic and at the
same time prevent competing road
from entering the territory.
But with all this rail road building
and planning it should not be forgotten
that Shoshone has card up her sleeve
that may yet prove to be joker and
land the trick
By extending the Wood river branch
north from Ketchum, with the exeep-
tion of tunnel through the Galena
summit. there is a water grade all the
way into the Salmon river valley
where a connection could be made with
the other branch at Challis. Then .
line north from Salmon City would .
cross the divide and make connection
with the Northern Pacific system at
Hamilton south of Missoula. Then a
between Shoshone and Twin
Falls through Jerome would give an
air line of road all under the 0. S. L.
system north and south through the
state of Idaho connecting with every
rail road passing
through United States territory. And
If course Shoshone would be division.

Oregon Short Line railroad were for
malIy decided upon at a meeting in
this city this morning of the board of
directors of the Minidoka & South
western Railroad company, subsidiary
Short Line corporation. The articles
of incorporation of the company We're
amended to provide for the construction
of an extension to the present branch
from Minidoka to Bull, westward
| through Twin Falls, owyhee and Can
yon counties, to Nyssa, station on
the main line, a distance Of 175 miles;
for the construction of branch from
this extended line, commencing at a
point about ten miles west of Buhl,
northward across Snake river to con-
nection with the main line at Glenn's
Ferry, distance of "a miles; and for
the construction of a branch from
Burley south to Oakley, distance of
25 miles. The meeting this morning
was presided over by G. K. Smith of
Salt Lake, secretary of the company.
All of the stock in the M. & S. w.
was represented in person or by proxy.
The meeting was held in the office of
Superintendent Jones of the Idaho divi-
sion.
The taking of favorable action by
the M. & S. W. in the matter of ex-
tending its line on the south side of
the Snake westward through the gi-
gantic proposed Twin Falls-Owyhee
irrigation project, means that the
Kuhn -Buhl interests of Pittsburg, fin
ancial hackers of the immense Twin
Falls North and South sides and Sal
mon river projects, will go ahead with
their Owyhee segregation of approx
imately 800, OO0 acres. Frank H. Buhl,
the Pittsburg millionaire, stated pub
Iicly not long ago that if the Short
Line decided to build this extension, he
would finance the great Bruneau or
Owyhee project and thus add another
empire to the irrigated districts of
southern Idaho.
The proposed branch from Burley to
Oakley is also considered a most i'm
portant one, as it will open up fer
tile region that had lain dormant too
long
The proposed branch from Bull to
Glenn's Ferry will follow the south
side of the Snake northwestward to
a convenient crossing into Elmore
county 1t will not, as hitherto be-
lieved, traverse the Hagerman valley
in Lincoln county, but will very prob
ably be used as a cutoff for the use of
heavy freight trains, as it will elimln-
ate King Hill, one of the heaviest
grades on the main line of the Short

service is maintained by appropria-
tions.
1t would seem that there might be
many places in Lincoln county where
the fish industry might be carried on
very successfully. Probably Snake
river canyon would furnish many ideal
spots like the DEVILS Corral where the
industry has already been started on a
small scale
