B. F. GOODRICH co. PR0SPERS
Victories Of Goodrich Tires During
1909 Ground For Acclaim.

Buildings that were .once the pride
of the n. F. Goodrich Co, OF Akron
Ohio. are today scrapped 10 make way
for far larger and better structures
Those who have been in close touch
with the B. F. Goodrich Co. for the
last 10 years. arc forced to look twice
at the factory today. The factory to
day Is the same as it vas 10 years
ago only 90 far as the man, and the
spirit OF the company is concerned.
Tne group OF buildings today is the
largest i'm the world. devoted TO the
manufacture of rubber goods.
The b. F. Goodrich Co. claims TO
have the factory the men and the
tire. The last claim is based upon
the many signal victories gained
this year in such great road en-
durance contests as the Detroit
run, the Pittsburg-Philadelphia run
the Harrisburg run, the Morris
town run. the Berkshire Catskill
run. the Munsey reliability run,
the Kansas City run. the New York TO
Atlanta run, and the great Glidden
tour. on which the 4s Goodrich tires
on contesting cars gained renown.

MICHELIN FIRST ANTI.SKID.
Popularity OF This Form Of Tire for
Road and Track. Remarkable.

Anti-skid tires were invented. patent
ed and first marketed by Michelin i'm
1905 Their first public appearance
was just prior 10 the Gordon-Bennett
cup race Of that year. when the late
Leon Thery. one OF the worlds most
famous drivers. came TO the weighing
scales with Michelin anti-skids OH his
car II is matter of history that
TheTy won the race.
The Michelin company states that
over half OF all the pneumatic tires
used in Europe are Michellns. anil
that OF this number more than so per
cent are Michelin anti-skids. The com
pany makes IL clear that anti-skid
tires are advantageous the year
around because OF the protection they
AFFORD against cuts and punctures.
Chevrolet used Michelin antiskids
when he averaged 20 miles an hour In
the Riverhead- Mattituck race on Long
Island in September.

ANOTHER IRRIGATION TRACT
FOR CASSIA COUNTY

There is every indication that Cassia
county will soon have another large and
fertile tract embraced within it's irri-
gated. territory. The first move look
ing to this end was made few days
ago when r. S. Fessenden, well
known engineer, filed with the state
engineer an appropriation o. 1000 Sc
cond feet of the flood waters of Raft
river, to be used in irrigating $1,000
acres of the land.
The filing was accompanied by a
map Of the tract, showing the location
of the reservoir that will be used for
storage purposes. The reservoir IS to
be located at the mouth of Almo creek
and will have capacity Of 50, 0oO acre
feet. The plans contemplate a dam
l07 feet high and 500 feet long on top.
r. W. Adams and j. G. Atkins, two
well known business men Of Rupert
are associated with Mr. Eessenden in
the enterprise. and these gentlemen
win look after all the preliminary de-
tails until they get TO point where
the work can be taken up by strcng
financial interests. Burnley Bulletin.

PROPOSED LINES ARE PARALLEL
Road Building from Wendell to Hager-
man, Working on Rupert-Fuller
Brsnch---Fighting for Camas

The longed- talked-of plans of the
railway companies of southern Idaho
for extension of lines through Lincoln
county this season are now taking tan
gible form and operations are actually
beginning. The Idaho Southern is
grading line from Wendell to Hager-
man distance of II or IA miles. The
extension of the same line from jerome
to Miner will be rushed with all pos
sible dispatch, and the line will eviden-
tly be carried on from Miffief to Oakley
in the near future. This whole system
will be electrified when power is devel-
,oped at the Lower Salmon Falls where
work is now progressing. The Oregon
Short Line will parallel this electric
line with steam road by completing
the road from Burley to Oakley and
constructing a road from Rupert to
Bliss, passing through Hillsdale, jerome
and Wendell and tapping the Hager
man Valley at the crossing of the Ma
lad. While the entire distance is not
an exact parallel it amounts to the
same thing. What amounts to an ex-
tension of the electric road is planned
from Gooding to Soldier to tap the
Camas prairie. If the Oregon Short
Line sees that this line will be built
another parallel road may be built and
if that should be determined on there
is no better route than from Shoshone
north to the Big Wood river and then
up that stream to the mouth of Camas
creek and west through the center of
the valley. This would give water
grade all the way and furnish an out
let for the fifty miles of level, fertile
land of the Camas prairie which would
become the granary of Southern Idaho.
With an electric road at her front
door and a steam line at her back door,
the Hagerman Valley will come into
her own. With the building of a new
line and the settling of the Clover Creek
segregation, Bliss will also take on i'm
portance and boom would surprise no
one. That Rupert, Hillsdale, Jerome
and Wendell will grow and profit by
the new order of things goes without
saving. But when the time is ripe
another connection will be made and
that is line from Shoshone to Jerome
and Twin Falls making continuous
line north and south from Ketchum to
Cobre, Nevada. there connecting with
the Southern Pacific system

A RATHER STRENUOUS OUTING

A rather strenuous outing was that
recently experinced by Harry W. An
derson that took the place of pleasant
fishing excursion he had planned for
but could not find time to carry out.
1t came to pass that when his brother
George Anderson, was ready to ship
sheep from Ketchum that he found
himself short of help and so the word
was sent down the line for the Lincoln
county Auditor to hasten up and lend
hand which he did. Taking the train
up to Ketchum he remained there till
early morning when he saddled pony
and struck the trail up the mountains
before daylight After long ride the
sheep camp was reached and the work
of gathering and trailing began. When
the sheep were finally started the two
herders dashed to the front and left
Mr.. Anderson to bring up the rear
amid clouds of suffocating dust. Al
though an expert rider in former years
his office work had rendered him unfit
for the task and he dismounted ard led
his pony the rest of the way. When
the station was reached no one would
have recognized the dust begrimed and
foot weary tramp that brought up the
rear of the procession. But the loading
of the sheep did not end his troubles
for when he returned home Mrs. Ander-
son and the girls were spending . vaea-
ton at the ranch and this offered an
opportunity Of doing lot of cleaning
and painting that had been long de
layed. So he concluded he might just
as well get busy and put in the rest of
his outing" at something useful and
spring a surprise on the folks when
they returned.
