that it is better to be prepared in

is inevitable
One more thing the commission
ers did that is good for Richfield,
and that is the granting of public
road Immediately beside the railroad
right of way from Richfield down
to the Johnson ranches five miles
southwest of town. The road has
been much in need OF strengthening
and working, but so long as it was
not legally established the amount o
work that was not done on it would
have astonished any one who might
have investigated the matter. Now
that it is legally established, it is
expected that it will be made into
one of the best highways in this
part of the county.

The county commissioners, in ses
sion last week at Shoshone, voted
in favor of the granting of an inde-
pendent school district for Richfield,
and set the date OF november 10 for
the people to vote on the question.
AS practically every school patron OF
the district signed the petition, and
as there are many reasons for such
a move and apparently none at al
against it, there is not the slightest
doubt that the district will soon be
an established fast.
With the coming of the new rail
road next year, there will be such
an increase in school population as
will make it extremely desirable to
have the school affairs more close
ly in local hands The Richfield dis
trict will have the population, and
ithe wealth, to make it one of the

The water commissioners appoint
ed some time ago by the city to
meet with commissioners from the

year schedule of water rates have

The commissioners for the city,

that however their efforts may be
received by the public they have at
least done their level best to handle
a difficult problem. On the one side
is the need of the people for water
service just as low in price as it
can possibly be made On the 9TH
er is the fact that it cannot possibly
be made cheap, in view of the high
expense CT installing and operating
a system, and the very limited num-
ber of patrons among whom the cost
must be divided With the initial
expense practically the same as it
would be for a population five times
as great with the cost of line and
other repairs superintendent and
general maintenance practically as
heavy as for five times the popula-
tion and consequently the same pro-
portion of increased revenue---it is
no easy task to justly distribute the
burdens For burden such a plant
must always be, in a community no
larger than this The rates agreed
on have seemed just to the commits
sion, and they have been signed up
for three-year period as provided
by law There has been a raise over
the rates that prevailed from the
time the system was first opened.

Engineers Break Up Happy Fam
lily of the Wilderness.
Out at the Burke engineers camp
northwest of town there is an abun-
dant opportunity to study wild life
pretty much as it existed when the
red Indian conserved the whole ter
ritory west of the Atlantic ocean.
Whole fleets of ducks sail up and
down the canal and coulee, happy as
though they dined at the tables of
the tabled gods. Flocks of sage
hens and grouse live as they did in
the days of the primeval wilderness.
Caravans of coyotes trot across the
horizon, as hungry and unafraid as
we're their ancestors before Colum
bus weighed anchor and sailed west
ward-ho on the proceeds of Queen
Isabella's jewels. It's really quite
a primeval wilderness, if one is look
ing for wild life.
But the trustful wild things are
now wondering whether their conf
dence isn't ill-founded. The land
and water and sky are the same as
they were, but other things change
with little warning. Whereas every
buffalo, deer or other creature that
died in the olden days was the nat
ural toll of the capacious coyote,
ring of clever steel traps is alto
gether likely to surround every de-
ceased beast or bird near the Burke
place, and a horrid man with gun
and a club follows the circuit every
day or two. Fifteen coyotes have
given up their pelts to prove that
the old days were better than the
new; that their ancestors were cor
rect when they made up the proverb
that it is more comfortable to be a
live coyote than a dead overcoat for
some one else And the birds, too,
have learned that it isn't just thun-
der and lightning when they hear
sharp report, see flash of flame,
for there is a deadly sting not far
away, and the kitchen stove is in
close connection. The engineers have
had so many birds that they are be-
ginning to growawings years ahead
of time, and are beginning to sing
like larks. The primeval solitude an
life promises to soon be
over--though it is very real out ther
just now

Wedding of Well known Rich

Orville c. Burton of Richfield and
Mary McKinzie of Gooding were
married Thursday morning, October
goth, at the home of the brides
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Devanney, at
Gooding. Rev. Father Boogaers OF
Shoshone was the officiating clergy
man. Miss ella Hartman of Kansas
City was brides maid, and Clarence
Shelley of Cuba, Mo-, the best man.
Twenty guests took part in one of
the most sumptuous wedding feasts
that has ever been recorded in this
section. The bridal party went to
Shoshone during the day, coming on
up to Richfield Friday.
Mr.. urton is one OF the pioneers
of Richfield, having come here when
the town was hardly more than a
name. By diligent attention he has
been remarkably successful in busi-
ness, and he has the respect of the
whole community The bride has
been in Richfield more or less dur
ing the past year, and has many
friends here as well as whereverelse
she is known. The newly welded
couple will make their home here in

being now alost ready for occupan-

Everything Points to Richfield
Main Line Next Season.
Once more there is little of defin-
ite news that can be given cut rel
ative to the new main line from hera
to Boise Yet the gossip is more per
sistent than ever, that the road is
to be built next spring, from here to
Boise, and on to Payette or some
other point near thereto on or near
the Snake river.
The surveyors who have been
working all summer up on Camas
Prairie, are coming back this way
now, being again camped not far
from the big dam Some of the boys
have been in town this week, but no
information was given out by any OF
them. Yet there is every reason to
believe that they are the harbingers
CT great joy to this section of the
state. From other sources it has
been known for a long time that the
route is feasible; that it is a sure
enough short cut across the state
to Boise; that it opens up a vast,
productive territory that has here
tofore been little better than a will
derness so far as really utilizing it's
resources; and the first road into
that great country has a great adj
vantage over the probable, if not
certain rivals that will some day
want that fertile part of Idaho. 1t
is especially encouraging that the
Short Line road recently increased
it's capital stock s77,500, 900, for
improvement purposes. The big
bridge across the Snake river at
American Falls is being double-track
ed, at a cost of almost half million
dollars. The Northwestern road, af
filiated with the Short Line and Har
riman system, is talking strongly OF
bnilding across from northern and
central Wyoming, into Idahc; per
haps to head in about Pocatello, and
then come on west through the here
tofore exclusive Short Line territory
This would be no rivalry--but it
would surely mean the building of
every branch or cutoff line that
could strengthen and fortify the
combined system. This the new short
line through Idaho would do---and
no further argument is needed.
The one important question just
now is, When will they do it? The
r scordeT stakes It's It's reputation
prophet, and about all the money it
can collect on debts, borrows, and
past earnings on the proposition OF
actual construction work starting IN
