Idaho. No undertaking within her
history means so much for American
Falls. 1t will vastly increase her
power resources, and within a year
from the time work is begun will
double her population. The presence
of so large body OF water will fav
orably affect the climate, and the
benefits that will follow will be many
Remarkable as the growth of this
section has been, development has
practically only begun. Nineteen
ten bids fair to be the best year in

The great work above outlined has
been in prospect for year or more,
during which time the surveys and

that they are feasible and entirely

every acre of the great Bruneau

if good route could be laid out for
the canals, and for various other
small projects that will need Snake

This would indeed be the gratest

Assirut; nor would it be much II
any larger than some OF the irriga-
ton work in India, under taken and
carried out by the British govern
ment. But taken with the Twin
Falls projects and the Idaho Irriga-
ton projects it would be the best and
largest body of irrigated lands in the
world.

that with but slight revision the line
can be put in readiness for the con-
tractors. While initial construction
cost might be classed as heavy, the
road bed will be practically the entire
distance in rock, assuring permanent
cy and minimum cost of mainten-
ance.
According to these figures less
than 500 miles OF line will bring the
road from Salmon to Lewiston. All
prior to surveyors taking
the field, were that the line would
be much longer"
Boise is hoping for a try at this
new road, which could with little
difficulty send line down into the
Boise valley and make a formidable
rival for the Short Line system. 1t
would not be feasible to bring the
main line down so far south, as the

I best route is on down the Salmon to
the Snake Just above Lewiston. and
then on down the Snake and Colum-
bia river to the sea. But a COM
peting line through the state. with
feeders down in this section, would
do wonders for the state. Without
reasonable doubt, one of these lines
would come through this section pos
,sibly crossing the Richfield tract near
this point, or maybe little higher
up, at or near HALEY. But in either
event, it would be near enough to
put this section in touch with all the
other Hill lines, and by bringing in
competition, give a much better rail-
road service
But the building of the new road
through Richfield is the most i'm
portant event this year. This line
will be close to zee miles long, from
Owinza or Whereabouts to Boise and
Weiser. 1t will put Boise on a di-
rect east and west line; it will con-
meet Ricnfield with the main line,
giving a through service, and an easy
market for all the products of this
section; it will open up million
acres of magnificent farming, TIM
ber and mining lands that have here
tofore been practically or altogether
dormant, for the lact of transporta-
ton; and it will be a doubletrack-
ing of the Short Line system, giving
more than double the service that
single line could do. Whatever the
other road do, the Short Line is the
peoples friend in this part of the
state, and the sure coming OF this
road is worth a dozen tales Of the
coming of other roads that may never
get within telegraphing range.

For many years, the Salmon river
route has been considered as one OF
the best transcontinental routes; per-
haps the best one yet unappropriated
if indeed it is not the really best of
all the largest lines that have been
built across the Rockies to the land
OF the setting sun. The great mile
deep canyon that cuts through Ida
no, a natural railroad route, it fol-
lows steady grade clear from the
Wyoming line clear to the Pacific,
and is as direct as almost any other,
while the gradients are undoubted-
ly the very best of all
1t appears that the Pttsburg & Gill

is not as poradic, isolated effort to
do something that is not very clear
ly outlined in someone's mind, but is
a part of a carefully planned, long
headed attempt to utilize the Salmon

sufficient, without at least double
their system, to handle the
traffic that is crossing the continent
Whenever there are enough trains
'or 1T to do so. One or two, or three
more trains continental roads are
needed; the Salmon river route is
perhaps the best one yet undevelop
I'd; it will open up a magnificent
lew country for exploiation-and the

The following dispatch from Lewis

100000 Acres of Carey Land

t2,272,000 acres, applications having
been accepted by the state land board
in the belief that Idaho's land grant
amounted to 100000 acres. The
resolution passed by the last session
of congress and the amendment to
the Carey act, enacted a few days
later, were construed by Attorney
General McDougall, as separate and
distinct enactments, each conveying
to the state a grant of 100000
acres in addition to 100000 acres
provided by the original act. The
acting commissionr in his letter indi-
Gated that the department held the
resolution and the amendment to con-
vey but 100000 acres in all.

Idaho thought she was doing well
few years ago, when 81, 1000
acres of land was specified to be set
apart for development under the
Carey act. But that million acres
was taken so fast, that almost be-
fore any one realized it, there was no
more place for the new companies
under the original grouq. The state
applied for two other grants of a
million, acres each, and congress pas
sed the bills. Making three million
acres of Carey Act land for Idaho
The following interesting statement
of the present standing of these Car
ey Act grants appears n the DAILY

received a telegram recalling a re-

was to relieve anxiety of promoters

the state who had feared that their
segregatons would be held up as a

able articles. Miss Grace G. Strachan,
president of the Interborough Associa-

of their fight for equal pay with the

comment.

MARION HARLAND AND DAME
CURTSEY.

For more than half a century M arion
Harland has been writing on house
wifely themes and answering the ques-
tons of women In clear and kindly
way that has made her name beloved
from one end of the land to the other.
Many who read her CHEEKY and helpful
page every week in THE SUNDAY CHI
CAGO RECORD-HERALD have no idea
that she is u years old, for she still
writes with all the vigor and discern
ment of woman of half her years.
Huge as the task may seem, she gives
her personal attention to the vast cor
respondence that her position of expert
advisor on household topics involves,
and every question is answered direct
ly by her. No other department of
THE SUNDAY RECORD HERALD is more
universally popular than hers.
Another department that pushes it
closely, however, is Dame Curtsey's
Novelties in Entertainment" which
has been hailed with joy by thousands
of hostesses who feel the need of new
ideas. Dame Curtsey, whose real
name is Ellye Howell Glover, seems to
have genius for inventing fresh
schemes for decorations, menus, games
and all the details that lend zest to din
ners and entertainments. She also an
swers questions on etiquette and good
taste, and otherwise furnishes just the
information so often sought vainly by
women.
When it is added that the Sunday
Magazine of THE RECORD HERALD is
full of good stories and articles as in
teresting to women as men, it is easy
to see why that paper is the favorite
among women.
