TO BUILD NEW ROAD.
Establish Ferry Across River and Es-
cape Sand on Aberdeen Road.

After trying for months to find some
method of avoiding the sand on the
Aberdeen road, by changing the road
or mixing clay with the sand, those
having the matter in charge have con-
cluded that the best way is to build a
new road on the Oneida county side of
the river for couple of miles, to con-
meet with road on the section line past
0. M. Halls place, to connect with the
Aberdeen road at Sweetwood's place.
There is an easy grade leading to the
bench near Mr.. Halls place, which can
be graded at small expense, and this
Mr.. Hall and neighbors promise to do
as their contribution toward the work.
The matter is in the hands of D. W.
Davis, H. r. Hager and j. B. Brokaw,
a committee of the Commercial club,
and pledges of 5000 were reported at
Tuesday evenings meeting. The road
and ferry will cost about So, 900, which
it is hoped to raise in stock subscrip
tions of s25 each.
The proposed road runs through the
Burke place, following high land near
the river. By cutting the willows
through which the road must pass, and
covering them with layer of soil, it
will make a road which will never get
very muddy. Aside from moving a
path through the willows there are few
difficulties to overcome.
The ferry planned is 18x45 feet, and
will be the best on the river, and cost
about $3.50. Mr.. Berdan, the boat
builder, will build it if the project goes,
and there is no reason why it should
fail. To make the old road good will
require much greater outlay than will
be necessary to construct the new road,
and can not be accomplished anywhere
near as soon.
American Falls press. [volume] (American Falls, Idaho) 1907-1937, 1909-05-15

The foregoing legal notice running in
the Pocatello Tribune tells its own
story about the early beginning of con-
struction work on a railroad through
the Carey tract, connecting the towns
of American Falls, Aberdeen, SPRING
field and Blackfoot. The line will run
near Otis and Tilden, and possibly near
the new townsite of Varney. There
has been much talk of this road for two
years, but matters concerning it have
been so quiet of late that hope of its
building had been abandoned for this
year.
The survey for the line was COM
pleted last fall, and runs north from
American Falls along the south bank of
Snake river for several miles, crossing
the river at Tartar Hallow, thence
north into Aberdeen. From there the
course is northeasterly to Moreland, a
point about seven miles west of Black
foot on the Mackey branch. The line
will be about forty miles in length and
will traverse one of the richest sections
of the state.
Every Carey land owner is to be con-
graduated, and may at once mark up
the price of his land $40 an acre, and
in many instances S25. The dry farm
ers along the canal will also benefit, and
their holdings will become much more
valuable. The only regret is that the
line will not be operated at once by cleo
tricity, though it may become an cleo
tric line, so that trains would be more
frequent between the points named.
An electric line is an assured fact as
soon as the development of the country
will warrant it, but its immediate
building would hasten development as
nothing else will.
Construction work is expected to be.
gin about June l and the road will be
in operation in time to market this
years crops. About forty wheeled
scrapers were unloaded here Monday
and are probably for use in grading fol
the road.

Story From BIackfoOt.

The unexpected has happened and
the Salmon River Railroad company
will build branch road from Moreland
or a point about seven miles west of
Blackfoot to Aberdeen this year, grad
ing to begin about the first of June,
says the Blackfoot Republican. The
road will be operated from Blackfoot
just as the Salmon River road is, and a
new roundhouse will be built to accom-
modate the engines for both roads.
An agreement has just been reached
by officials of the Short Line and the
Salmon River branch and the Ameri-
can Falls Canal & Power company by
which the work can be accomplished
and the move will be made at once.
Chief Engineer William Ashton of
the Short Line, Manager W. H. Watts
of the Utah Construction company and
Locating Engineer Stradley of the
Short Line system were here last week
and went down over the line to Aber-
deem to attend to some of the prellml-
naries of actual construction.
Another branch that will be added to
the Salmon River road will be from
some place in the Snake River plains,

Are Horses Being Held for Reward?

So many horses have disappeared re-
Gently that suspicion is becoming gen.
eral that some parties are running them
off in the hope Of earning rewards Of
fered for their recovery. In the neigh
borhood of fifty animals have disap-
peared within the past month or six
weeks, and no trace of them has been
secured. They disappear like magic,
almost from under the eyes of the own
ers. Most of the animals have been
last seen in the vicinity of the big dry
farm west of town. The sheriff of
Blaine county might be able to do tie
people of this section a real service if
he should investigate the matter.

Pocatello State Summer Normal School.

The the third sessionAof the Pocatello
State Summer Normal school will be
held from June 28 to August 6, 1909.
The Summer school is intended to Of
fer an opportunity to spend six weeks
of the summer vacation in a pleasant
way that will bring returns. 1t will
enable the student and teacher to make
more adequate preparation to teach
any particular branch; will open up
new positions to them where this bet
ter preparation is required; will keep
them in touch with the latest educa-
tional developments; will give them an
opportunity, not available to them
while they are teaching to come in con-
tact with a large number of other
teachers, to exchange views with them,
and to become acquainted with the diff
ferent conditions and demands in var-
ious localities; will keep sthem gowing
in their work, and will give their we'll
wishers an added argument to use in
helping them to secure better paying
positions. The call for we'll prepared
teachers is constant and in our state
sometimes hard to answer.
To help in furnishing the teachers
and students the proper facilities to
gain these advantages, the entire plant
of the cool and beautifully located
Academy of Idaho, will be thrown open
to them, including Dormitories, Labor
atories, Library, Shop, Equipment of
the Department of music, Gymnasium,
Athletic fields, Tennis Courts and Cam
pus. They will also have the advant-
age of the Acadmey dinining hall where
board in connection with the room in
the Dormitory will be but $500 per
week

TRUTH is MIGHTY
And Although Sometimes Unpleasant
Ii Must Be Told.

There have been some sighting re-
marks made about the ability Of the
editor as a pedestrian, during the past
few days, by one W. Bennion. Taking
advantage of the editors illness Mr.
Bennion has been telling how he car
ried the editor most of the seventeen
miles between the disabled automobile
and the city limits, one fateful night
early last week, and came in fresh
enough to unload several cars of wheat
after the performance.
1t is with great reluctance that the
editor engages in personal controversy
but truth is mighty and must prevail.
The facts are that the time of arrival
was delayed about an hour on account
of Bennion's inability to keep the pace.
He travels well down hill, provided the
breaks hold, and arrives at the bottom
in good shape. Through sandy plains
and going up hill, however, he is like an
automobile-he needs help. The edi-
tors illness was brought on by pushing
Bennion up all the hills on the road,
and helping him up when he fell from
exhaustion.
After the first ten miles or so he
stumbled like a blind horse and fel
frequently. On such occasions, no.
having a derrick, he was gotten on hi!
feet with difficulty. The last time h.
fell it was possible to get him up onl,
by rolling him onto cactus, when HI
developed a surprising amount of laten
energy.
In order to settle the matter effect
ually and to the the satisfaction of tn
public, Mr.. Bennion is hereby challenge
to engage with the editor in walkin
contest from American Falls to Seattl
for purse of SIS and side bet of
meal ticket. We will make a secon
side bet of Is cents that he can't max
the sand to the Wapi water tank in tw
days if he stavs off the railways rigt
of way.

I,4OO Acres of Wheat.

G. w. Morris, who was in from the
Desert Improvement company's dry
farm Tuesday, said the 1000 acres of
fall grain was looking fine, fully as
well as the grain of year ago. The
company has 400 acres of spring seeding,
but is somewhat handicapped by the
loss of seven head of horses which
strayed away about two weeks ago.
He expects a big yield per acre this
year.
