New Depot Nearly Completed.

The new depot is rapidly nearing
completion and II is expected will
be ready for occupancy within a
month. Foreman Merton has push
ed the work as fast as the limited
force of carpenters at his command
and hopes to have the building
under roof by Christmas day.
II is generally believed, however.
that the new road will not be turned
over to the operating department of
the o. 5. l.. company until next
spring, about April, when a daily
train service will be installed. II
had been hoped that regular trains
would be running by the first of the
year but 1t seems we are to be dis
appointed in this. Until next spring
the mixed train that runs on the
Mackev branch will be run on the
Aberdeen line on Sundays and an
occasional train during hte week to
take care OF the freight traffic.

number of local citizens. headed by
John r. Foulks and f. A. Sweet.

definate plans have been formulated
It Is true that the men whose names

terested and If they take hold Of the
matter in real earnest its success
is assured.
1t is proposed to build a so bar
rel flour mill with an alfalfa meal

tons of hay per day. Such a COM

farmers who have a great deal of
alfalfa hay for sale. will subscribe
Tor a sufficient amount of the stock

WOOL GROWERS TO MEET.
Idaho Sheep Men Greatly Interested
in Annual Convention.

~ AhAAAttptA [AAbAOht
When the annual convention of
the National Wool Growers Assoc
citation opens in Portland January 4,
it win be the biggest and most inn
portant gathering of sheep raisers
in America for years. Questions of
vital inheritance to the sheep indus
try are to be considered and the
future policy of the wool interests
are to be outlined.
According to those high in the
councils of the organization, little
support for the wool men may be
expected from President Taft or the
next congress. Both, it seems, are
determined to lead schedule K to
the slaughter in revising the tariff
bill. The friends of the threatened
schedule would leave the subject to
the tariff board, but it is said pres
ident Taft feels that the public ex-
poets further tinkering with the
rates on wool and woolens and he
is determined to acced to their de-
mands.
1t is felt by the wool men that
their side of the case has never been
presented TO the public fairly, while
on the other hand they charge the
agitation which has arisen against
them to the mud singing and muck
raker in the sensational magazines.
schedule K" said d. o. Lively,
chairman of the general arrange
ments committee, will be the meat
of the cocoanut as far as the on
yention is concerned. 1t is the life
OF the wool trade and when it is
threatened the existence of the wool
inductry is in danger. Wool krow-
ers all over the country are alarm
ed at the rapid advancement of the
sentiment for a change in the wool
schedules of the tariff"
The program, as now outlined
includes many speakers of national
prominence, who will speak on tariff
matters and other subjects of vital
Importance to the wool industry.

FARMERS ASSERT THAT
THEY ARE THE LOSER

Some farmers in the district af-
fected by the Poudre Valley ditch
assert that they were to have obtain
ed water from the ditch and that 1t
was with this understanding that
they purchased the lands. 1t Is fur
ther asserted by some of the bond
holders that the sale of the majority
of the stock threatens the assets of
the company which constitute their
securities.
1t is probable that the case will
consume several days. the entire
morning today being spent in pre-
liminary matters.
The sale of a majority of the stock
of the Poudre-Valley company was
concluded some weeks ago when the
North Poudre people, who composed
the majority stockholders sold out to
the Camfield interests.
