BENEFICIAL
TO IDAHO
Legislation Secured During Last
Session Of Congress Benefic-
ial to the State.
addison T. Smith,

The session of Congress which has
recently closed has been most bene-
ficial one to Idaho, as shown In
affirmative legislation, and more has
been accomplished for me benefit of
the State than during IN, previous
Congress- The Idaho delegation has
ing the interests of the State. Com
plete harmony and cooperation has
prevailed between and on the part Of
the delegation, otherwise such good
results could not have been secured.
One of the most important meas
ures enacted was that providing for
an appropriation of $20,000,000 for
the completion of reclamation pro-
jects in various states of which Ida
no will secure large portion, mean
ing the completion and extension of
projects now under way without de-
lay
The appropriation of 100000 for
the survey of public lands In Idaho
will be of great advantage to intend
ing settlers and will hasten the de-
velopment of the country. 1t will ac-
complish in one year in the way OF
making surveys as much or more
than would have been accomplished
in three or four years without this
appropriation.
The extension of the dry farm
homestead law to southern Idaho is
another measure Of great Importance
and will aid materially in developing
large areas of land in the arid sec
tion of the State.
Another important law enacted was
that providing that homesteaders on
reclamtion projects would assign all
OF portion of their homestead after
five year residence.
Ano r measure which became law
was that providing for leave of alb
sence for homesteaders on reclama-
ton projects during the period be-
tween filing and the time water is
ready for delivery.
In addition to this a law was pas
sed providing for the classification
and appraisement of lands within the
n ~ A lana TnIiun Rpgnpu1 inn.
for the re-appraisement of un-sold
lots in townsites on reclamation pro-
jccts; an appropriation for public
building at Pocatello to the amount
of 100000 the establishment OF a
sub port of entry at Eastport, Idaho;
providing for the purchase Of site
for a public building at Twin Falls,
Idaho; a public building at Couer d
Alene, Idaho; and a public building
at Idaho Falls, Idaho.
In addition to these number of
minor bills, all tending to serve the
industrial and material interests of
the people of the State, were intro
dGced and urged and some Of them
became a law
The Idaho delegation has disclosed
its deep interest in the welfare Of
the State and has to show for its
service the actual enactment into law
that class of measures all will con-
cede ha or their sole object and
purpose lie welfare of those who
are enga ed in building up great
common wealth.

GLENNS FERRY TO BUHL CUT
OFF.
Engineers are Rushing the Work of
Cross Sectionng the Route.

Glenns Ferry, July s, 1910.
The Oregon Short Line has prac,
tically begun active work on the con,
struction of a fifty mile cut off be.
tween Glenns Ferry and Buhl. A
large surveying corps is in the field
and the engineers are rushing the
work of cross sectioning the route.
The actual location of the line was
completed sometime ago and construc
iton work will be pushed Immediately
The road will run westward from
Bull a short distance west of Sal
mon Bridge, then swings northeastern
ly and down Blue Gulch to the Snake
River and into Glenns Ferry.
This line when completed will be
used to handle all Oregon Short Line
trains between Granger, Salt Lake
City and Portland The construction
o. this new cut off has been made nee
esSary on account of the heavy traffic
between Glenns Ferry and Pocatello
which for some time has been more
than the present system could handle
satisfactorily.
Glenns Ferry has always been an
important railroad point, but this new
line will open up very large tribu-
tary section of country and means
more for the future commercial prom
1nence and growth OF the town than
can well be estimated. In fact, Glenns
Ferry will become the largest and most
important city in Southern Idaho.
The railroad company, it is stated
through channels of absolute reliabil-
ity, will Immediately enlarge their
big shops and round houses at this
point and the erection of a big hotel
is now an assured fact
Mr.. L. G. Bradley, Manager of the
Kings Hill Extension Irrigation Com
pany stated today that had he known
the Oregon Short Line intended to
begin the construction of the road
from here to Buhl, this season, he
would never have started the special
opening town lot and acreage sale
at Glenns Ferry which is to be held
the 18th day of July. But as the
opening has been extensively adver-
tised and a large number of people
have already registered, he could not
call the sale off and would stick to
the company's offer to sell all Glenns
Ferry lots on that one day at $4,000
each, although the construction of
the new road will raise all real es-
tate values greatly and the company
will now be heavy loser by virtue
OF its unusual offer to give those par
ticipating in this sale the choice of
Glenns Ferry lots at $4,000, lot
which is a tremendous cut from exist
ing value anyway.
This opening is attracting great in
terest here and if it were not for
the registration requirements which
makes all buyers equal, every lot
would be snapped up by local people.

FIRE AT GLENNS FERRY.

The fire department at Glenns
Ferry had chance last Friday to
test the chemical engine bought last
fall. The fire started in the laundry
back of the Idaho rooms and was be-
yond control by water when the fire
men arrived When the chmeical was
few moments till the fire was smoth-
cred. The engine paid for itself in
this one instance, for, had it gained
more adway it would have been
imr lie to save the hotel or the
hou&1 next door The work of the
firemen was quick and efficient.

COMMERCIAL COLLEGE
TO BE ESTABLISHED HERE

A meeting of the board of directors
of the Commercial Club has been
called for 2 o'clock tomorrow after
noon to meet Prof. C. E. Perry, who
proposes to open commercial college
in Bryan, if necessary arrangements
can be made.
The plan is plain, easy and simple,
and it will be thoroughly discussed
and probably acted upon at the meet.
ing. Prof. Perry wants a guarantee
of fifty scholarships before he will
bring his equipment for first-elass
business college to this city. These
scholarships are to sell for $50 each,
and in order to get the institution
started here he makes an exceptional
offer of allowing transfers. If a stu
dent holding one of the fifty initial
scholarships finishes his course before
the year has. expired, it may be trans
ferred to some one else and the new
student given the course for the un-

expired term. Prof. Perry comes to
Bryan highly recommended, and he
has had years.-of experience in the
commercial college business.
This would be another step forward
for Bryan and there is no reason why
the requirements necessary for its To-
cation here should not be easily COM
piled with. There are always numbers
of young ladies and young men from
Bryan and Brazos county who attend
business colleges in other cities each
year, and We should keep them in
Bryan.

Marketing Citrus Fruits.

San Antonio, Texas, Nov. 21.-Citrus
fruits of Texas will now be sold
through an organization of the grow
ers. The Texas Citrus Growers Asso-
citation has organized business
branch which will handle the business
end, employing an agent to look after
shipping and marketing. 1t is expect
ed that the Texas orange industry in
this manner will be saved thousands
of dollars annually, as against the sys-
tenn of each puyer selling for himself.

We once heard the story of young
man who, when he had established
himself in business and was fairly
prosperous, married the daughter OF
practical parents who had taught her
to work. He was an indulgept hus-
band and tried to crafty her every
wish, but she became more and more
exacting until his strength gave way
and he died prematurely, sacrifice to
mistaken duty. She meant no harm
and never realized that she had done
any wrong. She deserved pity rather
than blame. She was fool; that was
all.

the fact that there was exactly one
week between the eclipse of the re-

But there was one difference that he
failed to note-the observation of the
moon was total, while that of the
g. o. p. was only partial. The total
eclipse of the majors party will come
in 1912.
