Railroad Talk Grows
Boise Already Sees Richfield Road On
Its Way to the Capital City and
On to the Northwest.

I it would mean many more millions OF
good investments in all the lines oi
industry represented; it would mean
many thousands of good citizens tC
the state-indeed, it would spell
PROSPERITY in capital letters all
along the line.
The bad weather for the past ten
days has seriously interfered with
the work of the surveyors along the
line. They had aimed to finish the
higher lands first, and then spend
the later winter on the lower tracts
where the weather is milder, like it
is around Richfield; but the snow
and rain have all but put them out
of business. Yet they are still up
on Camas Prairie. carrying on their
Investigations.
Richfield is just about the right
distance from Pocatello and Boise,
to make an ideal division point for
the new main line. The Commercial
Club is preparing to work in the clos
est harmony with the railroad au-
thorities, to see that there isn't any
thing left undone that might help
them to come here. We want rail-
roads. We'd be glad if they would
come in from every direction, in
Guiding straight up and down. The
Richfield people will be able to use
the first, if it goes up far enough
we have some undesirable visitors
that we could shoot down the latter
highway-or low way, as it might
be- Richfield wants everything in
the way of railroads that there is. lf
they ask gor a cheer as the come ov-
er the hill, they'll get it; if they want
a right of wa, or freight contract,
or franchise, it's theirs.
There is reason to believe that the
read will be built next spring. In
the meantime, if you have any Prep
erty in Richfield, it's good stuff to
hol' Cn to.

rain in many localities Stir north
westerly winds and sharp change to

A regular storm period covers the
4th and 9Th. being central on the 9Th.
A reactionary storm period is central
on the 18th, 18th and 14th The con
junction OF the moon with the earth
on the 18th naturally indicates that
high temperature for the season. with
low barometer and general storms are
probable on and following that date
A regular storm period is central on
