RAILROAD BUILDING IN IDAHO.

The railroad situation in Idaho is
enough to please anyone who hopes
rather than fears for the future. The
Short Line has projected more than
500 miles of new track. The Pitts
burg & Gilmore system, If current
gossip is to be believed, win build as
much; part of this Is almost ready to
open for traffic. The Idaho South
ern has built and win finish building
60 miles of new track A 75-mile
road may be built into Jarbidge. An
even these may not tell all the rail-
road story of Southern Idaho.
Back of all this there are some
vital reasons. The railroad corpora

build nothing for sympathy or senti-
ment. "Reclaimine the desert"
means to them, not humanitarian
movement towards better homes and
cheaper food for a nation, but a sure
market for all the hay and hogs and
other traffic the railroad can haul.
The dreams of the jdealist who sees
better social conditions through de-
veloping new country may come
true-but for reliability the dollar

Written in the finest Spencerian

recited that the wanted man was

that he had been known as Derrick

The announcement that Mr.. Hub

held by Senator Scott, will be receiv-
ed with little surprise. The people of
West Virginia have been looking for
it for some time and in fact were get

Has Sighted Famous Visitor
Is Quite Dim.

Halleys comet has been sighted at
the Daniel scholl observatory OF
Franklin and Marshall College, Ian
caster, by Dr. A Thomas G. Appel,
of that institution. The comet was
west and south of the planet Mars
and was pale circle of hazy light.
The comet and the earth are now
travelling parallel paths in the same
direction, on opposite sides of the
sun. The distance between the VITO
will remain the same or slightly in
creasing until the latter part of April
when tahe curves in their respective
orbits will cause them to approach
one another rapidly.
The camel then can be seen in the
morning, on May 18 tahe comet will
pass between the earth and the sun
and become an evening star. This Is
the time when the earth may pass
through the comets tail. The comets
distance at this time will be less than
one-seventh of the suns distance, and
at this close approach promises to be
conspicuous object. 1t will be Wis.

GETS ANOTHER JUDGE
Bill Passed for Judge of Fourth Dis
trict-Psrts of Three States
Embraced.

Washington, Jan f9.--An addi-
tional judge for the Fourth United
States Circuit Court, comprising
North Carolina, Virginia and West
Virginia, is authorized by a bill
passed by the senate.
AS result of the action of the
senate it is expected much addi-
tional political activity will de-
velop, particularly in Virginia and
West Virginia, as to who will get the
appointment Both states will have
several aspirants and notwithstand-
has a representative on the court, a
strenuous effort will be made to get
another. While nearly all the other
circuits have three judges, and some
of them four, the Fourth district has
but two. Judge Golf, of West Vir-
ginia, and Judge Pritchard, of North
Carolina. Attorney General Wicker
sham recommended in his annual re-
port that another judge be added.
The state of Virginia already has
several aspirants for the new office.
Judge Waddill, of the Eastern district
of Virginia, would accept the honor
of promotion. but some of the polite
ians there are against him and will
make it difficult for him. The original
Taft Democrat of Richmond, William
r. Meredith, has been mentioned
but Senator Martin would likely op-
pose his appointment as Meredith is
aligned with the faction of the party
which opposes Senator Martin.
Here is West Virginia both federal
district judges are being talked Of
Judge Dayton, favorably mentioned
as possible successor to the late
Justice Peckham on the Supreme
Court of the United States before the
appointment of Judge Lurton, is ex-
pected to figure in the race, while
Judge Keller, of the Southern dis
trict, will have strong following for
the office. In the event of Judge KEEL
ler's elevation movement will likely
be started to have Charles w. Dillon,
of Fayetteville, appointed his success
sor in that district.
Two Judges of the Supreme Court
of Appeals of West Virginia, Judges
Miller and Robinson, have already
been mentioned fer the office. This
recalls rumor circulated within the
past couple of years that Judge Rob-
inson would be elevated to the fed
eral bench as soon as there is va
cancy. The fact that Judge Robinson
has been mentioned recently as a
probable candidate for governor
might lead some others interested in
the gubernatorial race to work for
Judge Robinson's promotion. Recent
ly when there was talk that Judge
Golf would probably retire soon
there was rumor that the Grafton
jurist would be appointed his success
sor.
While there is somewhat custom
in vogue of promoting judges already
holding appointments in the federal
courts, this rule is not already ad
hered to and may not be in this case
should the Hubbard bill become law
1t is also likely that Maryland and
South Carolina will have candidates
for the office.
