solved by consultation of a map of
Idaho which shows three townships of /
six miles each and a fraction between /
the capital city and Horseshoe Bend /
The direction is north. The Henry
mines lessen this distance of the sur
face, and is accurate The elevation
of Boise is 275. the elevation of the
Henry coal mines is 1854. there be-
ing but four feet difference in elev-.
alton. Direct transportation must
cross the Boise mountains at an al
titude of 400 feet above the coal
mines. In the first five miles towards
Boise traction engine builders are
ready to contract to provide a road
travel'r that will haul SO tons up
this grade of Y rer cent and make
three trips daily. total $50 tons
From the summit line can be built
without foot up grade to Boise.
The sum of $4,000 will purchase
four locomotives of three-foot gauge
and supply the rail and build the line
from the Henry mines to the sum-
nit. The amount necessary to build
this line could be saved in one month
of the present freight rates paid on
coal to Boise The line could be built
to the summit within two monthe.
The entire line from Boise to Horse
shoe Bend could be completed within
six months. Such a railway line. aside
from the traffic of the Henry coal
mines. would hold the key to an in
teresting situation Spokane has al
ready stolen the northern half Of
Sdaho and with a line up Payette
river, what is to prevent all of the
rich productive section of central
Idaho from going north instead of
south? 1t hardly seems rational that
any line is to be built along the Pay
cite valley to feed southerly, but It
does look very probable that a line
running north to the St. Paul rail-
way, instead of bringing traffic down
the river would take it up.
The interurban line may build up
to Emmett and the Bend, but it
could build a division in the direct
line and reach Horseshoe Bend in
one-third the distance. Horseshoe
Bend is in the natural center Of the
sheep and cattle grazing interests Of
middle Idaho Herds Of cattle are
now being driven dow nthe river TO
Nampa, that would come via rail
to Boise by a short connecting life.
Boise meats could be slaughtered on
the ranges and be sent in refrigera-
tor cars to Boise Such a line would
open direct trade with the towns OF
Sweet, Horseshoe Bend, Pearl

Short Line was turned down at eht
time it wished to build its main line
through Boise.
Il am aware of the fact that Mr.
Henry is now in the east negotiat-
ing for either the direct sale of his
Horseshoe Bend coal mines or the
organization of a company to oper-
ate them" declared a well known
business man. 1T would be a fatal
thing for Boise to allow this proper
ty to slip away from it, as an excel
lent opportunity to secure good coal
at cheap prices would be lost. 1t strik-
ken relative to meeting Hi Henry

if possible, to gain either an inter-
est or control in these mines. | know
of my own personal knowledge that
Mr. Henry has endeavored to inter-
est local people in his mine. The
matter went so far that a committee
of the Commercial club visited the
mines and made favOrlte report
But there the matter apparently
stopped. In the meantime Boise and
all southern Idaho has suffered and
will continue to suffer and be Grip
pied by the high price of coal the
consumer is forced to pay
IF the proper action was taken il
would seem to me that there would
be some way in which to connect the
/ Horseshoe Bend mines and Boise
with a transportation line. I Hi Hen
ry was able to state that by freight
ing the coal from the mines to Boise
by teams or by tramway delivering
the fuel here at the low price of s.
per ton, it is reasonable to believe
that the building of a steam of cleo
trio line to the mines would pay fOl

certed effort made to secure the val
liable coal deposits for the safe
guarding of the consumers in Boise

Within the grasp of Boise are coal
deposits said to be as rich as those
of the Wyoming fields and just as
good in quality, but these deposits
may pass beyond any possibility Of
this city acquiring them, due to the
fact that negotiations are said to be
under way to either dispose of the
mines to eastern capitalists or to
raise sufficient capital for the organ
ization of a company with which to
mine the fuel. The mines are locat-
ed at Horseshoe Bend, s miles north
of Boise, and are owned by Hi Hen
ny, the one-time famous Snowman,
now interested in the development of
Idaho. Mr.. Henry is in New York
where, it is reliably reported, he s
endeavoring to either sell his valuable
property or organize powerful COM
pany to take it over.
That Boise has reached a period
in its history when it should endeav-
or to break the grip of the coal COM
bination that exists in this state and
has boosted prices, is the opinion of
a number of local business men, who,
when seen today, declared that unless
some effort was made to acquire the
Hi Henry property and the Horseshoe
Bend coal mines should pass into
other hands, it would be fatal mis-
take-almost as serious as when the

be stimulated TO faithfulness by promises
OF reward claiming that virtue is its own
reward. But this Is theory. and those

the virtue. Instead of seeking human
wisdom on this subject, we should seek
the Divine Wisdom. Gods promises in

Why Is A Town Clock.

Most clocks serve double pur-
pose. They are at the same time or
nanental and useful. When they
cease to be useful, however, it de-
tracts greatly from their ornate
beauty. The clock which adorns
the native church is ornamental,
but as a practical utility it is de-
cided failure. 1t does not always
tell the truth, and has the reputa-
tion of taking numerous vacations
We need a clock which is marker
of time every day in the year. One
of the first things to be looked after
in town is the winding and regu-
lating of the town clock. We dc
not realize how much we depend OF
such things until they go wrong. A
clock which is constantly out of tim,
with the universe, and which is no
regularly wound denotes civic shift
lessness.

New Social Club.

At the home of one of our pro-

last Wednesday evening number
of young people, who, after par
taking of well prepared dinner
banded themselves together in an
organization to be known as the
"Order of Occidental Orphans" "
with the California cub bear as
ensignia and mascot.
The object of the club is the pro-
motion of social good-fellowship
among congenial good spirits who
have heretofore lived in seclusion
because of the lack of an organiza-
ton of this kind.
The membership is strictly invi-
rational and will be confined only
to those enduring a life of single

consists in the reading of fortunes
Members aspiring toward the acqui-

ROOSevelt'S
Declaration
He Wishes to See Honest Conservatives
Institute a Radical Program.

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, as
the guest of the New Haven cham
ber of commerce ut its annual
banquet, made hi first public ad-
dress since the recent elections. He
was cordially greeted by gathering
of 600 men representative of the
business and commercial interests
and the professions of the state.
1t seems that nothing could be
a better augury of the future OF this
country he said, than that a
republican president should appoint
former confederate Of opposite po-
litical faith chief justice of the
United States. and receive the unani-
NOUS applause of his countrynlcn.
Bodies like this chamber of
commerce, said the colonel, have
been industriously taught to regard
me as kind Of modified anarchist.
/ am radical, but | am a radical
who most earnestly desires to see a
radical program carried out by con-
servatives. / wish to see great in
dustrial reforms carried out, not by
the men who will profit by them,
but by men who lose by them; by
Just such men as you are around
me. / believe most emphatically
in the progress which shall be
sane."
In explaining his idea of the
square deal' Colonel Roosevelt
said:
II do not want the prize in the
race to go to the man who is not
fast enough to win. want them
to start even.'
Equal opportunity, he said, re-
presented the idea on which the
republic was founded.
Your grocer must make a profit
or he won't continue to sell grocer
ies,' he explained, but if you pay
his bills without examining them
you don't show that you have 8
soft heart. You show that you
have a soft head"
The government, he said, should
deal with corporations on the same
basis as a man deals with his grocer
in giving and exacting justice.
The colonel said there had been 6
good deal of loose talk" about
proposed changes in forms of gov
ernment. The effort to get more
complete control over the agencies
of interstate commerce for the fed
eral government represents, he said
not an innovation which was no
contemplated by the constitution
but realization Of the purposes o
the constitution.

wrestler George Hackeffschniitt,
the Russian lion, who has roamed
this country for the past few months
seeking whom he might devour,
and who would like above all to
make meal of one Frank Gotch,
seems likely to be disappointed 50
far as his principal desire is con-
cerned.
Gotch resolutely refuses to come
out in the open air and take a
chance of being swallowed alive.
Gotch's steadfastness in the mat
ter OF remaining retired must make
some of the critics feel foolish.
When Hackenschmitt arrived i'm
this country and announced that he
wanted revenge for the indignities
thrust upon him by Gotch couple
OF years ago, many of the wise
heads scented cleanup, and read
ers of various sporting pages were
posted accordingly.
Gotch, however, has allowed sew
eral psychological moments to go
by. He says, and keeps saying, he
will never wrestle again; that he is
content with his farming pursuits
and his already plethoric bank-roll,
and that he has no ambition to pose
as the hope of the white race or any
other race.
Battling Nelson isn't prepared to
admit yet that the last has been
seen OF him as factor in pugilism.
This is simply specimen of the
vanity that goes with the Queens
berry temperament, for Nelson is
no more like the Nelson of old than
a worm-hollowed walnut is like one
that is full Of sound, white meat.
Above all, Nelson hasn't even a
splinter OF peg on which to hang
an argument. There are cases where
doubt is bound to exist, as for in
stance in the matter of that foul
punch administered to Cans by
Nelson at Goldfield. Even those
who were sure they saw it land
could have their faith i'm their own
eyes shaken if they listened to other
positive fellows who saw otherwise.
So, too. in the Jeffries dope matter.
Many will say, It's silly excuse
for poor showing and l don't be-
lieve a word of it, But who is
there can say, Il know it isn't
true. 4"
In this Moran-N Nelson business
there were six or seven thousand
persons watching things, They saw
Nelson either falling or being knock
ed down until many demands arose
that the contest be stopped. They
finally saw Nelson on his knees,
steadying himself with his hands
placed against the floor. They
heard Referee Selig begin in deli
berate manner to count off the
seconds in a remarkably clear voice.
They heard the concluding words,
Eight, nine, you're out" and
they saw no attempt on Nelson's
part TO rise to his feet, it being fully
two seconds before the Battler began
to straighten up.
When asked to box Owen Moran
it is SAID that Mr.. Ad Wolgast
named high figures and declared
Y that he would not get around to the
making of a match with the English
man before next spring.
1t seems that in little while
WOlgast will recognize that he
: cuts much less of figure in pu-
e gilistic affairs than Moran does. 1t
5 is true that Wolgast is nominally
the lightweight champion of the
