New York's bonded Indebtedness

the total assessed value of the

| II have been connected so long

especially interested in the problems
arising in the livestock industry in
connection with irrigated lands and
believe there is a wonderful future
in this direction. 1t is my inten.
ton to give these questions special
attention.

Professor French is recognized

known as a speaker and writer on
these topics, and his connection with

MEN AND EMERGENCIES

The Idaho Leader
The chief difference between grea
hen and chumps lies mostly in theil
ability to rise to emergencies no
provided for in the regular code o.
procedure. The ordinary affairs q
life require the exercise OF but or
binary talents, alike from both grea
and small. When the occasion arises
demanding extraordinary talent the
small man fails miserably and usual
ly with disastrous results to himself
or others. A very striking example
of this occurred this week when al
Cherry Creek, ILL.,, great mine dis
aster occurred. Four hundred miners
were shut up in the blazing hell OF
a mine, a party of rescuers volunteer
ed to attempt relief to the imprisoned
men. The rescuers were lowered to
a certain level of the mine and the
cage was raised a short distance
above them. The rescuers soon dis
covered that the poisonous gases
would suffocate them If they remain
ed longer in their position. They
called to the man in the cage to
lower it and take them away. The
man refused to lower the cage, even
though he knew it meant the lives
of the four men few feet below
him. His reason for refusing was
that he had received orders to not
lower that cage except on bell sig
mails from the superintendent. He ac-
tually held that cage within few
feet of the sufficating men until they
all persisted AT the coroners inquest
he simpy reiterated his Instructions
and offered no further excuse for the
murder of four men,
The world is filled with such
chumps and it is not infrequent that
they find themselves in positions OF
great responsibility where they al
ways make good, unless some great,
emergency arises, then they fail tc
meet 1T. An army composed of that
kind of men is simply a great human
machine of terrific force SO long as
no emergency arises and everything
is done according to schedule, but in
great emergencies it is fraud. It
goes to pieces of it's own weight. At
the battle of Missionary Ridge Cen
eral Grant had given orders to his
men to charge the works at the foot
Of the mountain and after taking
that position to stop for further or
ders. Then men rushed the works and
captured them as their general had
planned. but these soldiers saw also
that a great opportunity would be
lost in case they stopped to reform
as ordered so they charged on to the
ton of the ridge capturing three diff
ferent sets of defensive works before
thew STONED. Tt is one of the most
brilliant accomplishments of record
ed history and would be impossible

RAILROAD ACTIVITY in IDAHO

Gate City News
With the announcement by thu
Hartman people that surveys will BIZ
started within short time for an
other branch line of it's rapidly grow
ing railroad system in the southern
part of the state from what is known
as the Ogden-Lucin cutoff on thu
Southern Pacific to Rupert on the
Minidoka project, it is taken as d
settled fact by railroad men in this
city.
The Hartman people are pushing
to the limit the work of building
their line from Twin Falls leading
from the Oregon Short Line to Wells
New, on the main line of the Central
Pacific and splendid progress is being
made. The first lap of this road
which extends to Salmon Dam. has
already been completed and in a
short time trains will be running
over the new road from Twin Falls to
Hollister.
The announcement that another
line is to be built from Rupert to the
Ogden-Lucin junction will do much
towards bringing south central Idaho
in touch with the outside world. In
the meantime the Southern Pacific is
slowly but surely closing the gap be-
tween Sparks, New, and Moiave.
CAL, and but short strip of it re-
mains to be built. This means better
and more adequate freight facilities
for these towns in Idaho.
Another link that is being added
to this steel chain is the road which
the Oregon Short Line is building
from Rupert on the Minidoka and
Southwestern railroad, to Bliss ion
the Short Line. The road will run
through the land which has been
placed under irrigation by the Twin
Falls North Side Development COM
pany.
The Hartman system has made
plans for the construction of branch
of its road from Burley to Oakley.
1t will run directly through the
Goose Creek project opening 1t up to
rapid settlement.
Not wishing to stop here and in
tending to link together every sec
ton of this state the Short Line now
proposes to build still another road
or one that will connect Moreland
with Aberdeen, in Bingham county.
This proposed road is also in the
Snake river valley and will connect
these two towns which are located

McCloud stood, not knowing just what
to do. She glanced at him eXpectant-
~. The sun grew intensely hot.
"You will have to show me how"
he stammered at last.
Don't you know"
He mentally cursed the technical
education that left him helpless at
such moment, but it was useless to
pretend. Frankly, l don't"
"Just give me your hand. oh, not
in that way! But never mind, III
walk she suggested, catching up her
skirt.
THE rocks will cut your boots all
to pieces Suppose you tell me what
to do this once" he said, assuming
some confidence. I'll never forget.
why, if you will just give me your
hand for my foot, can manage, you
know"
He did not know, but she lifted her
skirt graciously, and her crushed boot
rested easily for moment in his
hand. She rose in the air above him
before he could we'll comprehend. He
felt the quick spring from his sup
porting hand, and it was an instant OF
exhilaration. Then she balanced her
self with a flushed laugh in the sad
die, and he guided her ahead among
the loose rocks, the horse nosing at
his elbow as they picked their way.
Crossing the track, they gained bet
ter ground AS they reached the
switch and passed a box car, Jim
SHE'D, and Dicksie spoke sharply to
him. McCloud turned.
In the shade of the car lay the
tramp.
THAT man lying there frightened
him." explained Dicksie. "Oh," she
exclaimed, suddenly, ''he has been
hurt!" She turned away her head. us
that the man who was in the wreck?"
yes"

be suffering terribly"
"The men gave him some water
awhile ago, and when we moved him
into the shade we thought he was
dead"
HE isn't dead yeti" Dicksies face,
still averted, had grown white. Il
saw him move. Can't you do some
thing for him?"
She refined up at little distance.
McCloud bent over the man a mo-
ment and spoke to him. When he rose
he called to the men on the track.
You are right" he said, rejoining
Dicksie; "he is very much alive. His
name is Wickwire; he is cowboy"
"a cowboy!"
"a tramp cowboy"
What can you do with him?"
It'll have the men put him in the
/ caboose and send him to Barnhardt's
hospital at Medicine Bend when the
engine comes back. He may live yet.

till I had forgotten my own people,
my own name, my own face-and
Bucks came along one day with Wits
pering Smith and dragged me out or
my coffin. They had it ordered, and
It being a small size and 'onhandy,' as
the underteker said, 1 paid for it and
told him to store it for me. Well, do
you think l ever could forget either
of those men, Farrell?"
In all the group of young men then
on the mountain division, obscure and
unknown at the time, but destined
within few years to be scattered far
and wide as constructionists with
records made in the rebuilding opera
lions through the Rocky mountains,
none was less likely to attract atten-
ton than McCloud. Bucks, who, in
deed, could hardly be reckoned so
much of the company as it's head, was
a man of commanding proportions
physically. Like Glover, Bucks was
giant in stature, and the two men,
when together, could nowhere escape
notice; they looked ia word, their
part, fitted to cope with the ire
mendous undertakings that had fallen
to their lot. Callahan, the chess-play-
er on the Overland lines, the man who
could hold large combinations of traf-
flc movement constantly in his head
and by intuition reach the result of a
given problem before other men could
work it out, was, like Morris Blood,
the master of tonnage, of middle age.
But McCloud, when he went to the
mountain division, in youthfulness OF
features was boyish, and when he left
he was still a boy, bronZed, but young
of face in spite of lifetime's pressure
and worry crowded into three years.
He himself counted this physical
makeup as a disadvantage. ut has
embroiled me in no end of trouble, be-
cause l couldn't convince mon l was
in earnest until made good in some
hard way" he complained once to
Whispering Smith. Il never could &C
quire even a successful habit of swear
ing, so had to learn to fight"
When, one day in Boney street in
Medicine Bend, he threw open the
door of Marion Sinclair's shop, flung
his hat sailing along the show case
with his war cry, and called to her in
the back rooms, she thought he had
merely run in to say he vas n town.
How do you do? What do you
think? You're going to have an old
boarder back" he cried. "I'm coming
to Medicine Bend, superintendent of
the division!"
"Mr. McCloud!" Marion Sinclair
clasped her hands and dropped into a
chair "Have they made you superin-
tendent already?"
well, l like that! Do you want
them to wait till I'm gray-headed?"
Marion threw her hands to her own
head. ooh, don't say anything about
I gray hairs. My head won't bear in
spection. But 1 can't get over this
| promotion coming so soon-this whole
big division! Well, / congratulate you
