Pamphlet Issued by the Eastern Roads
Show That the Employees
are Getting Large
Salaries.
MAKING COMPARISONS
Freight Rates Have Been Declining
While Everything Else Seems
To Be on The Move
Upward.

Representative of the Eastern rail-
roads have issued a pamphlet which
gives the railroads side of the wage
question. The occasion for this is the
recent action of the trainmen and CON
ductors in demanding higher pay and
shorter hours. The principal suojects
discussed IN the pamphlet are the de-
crease in freight and passenger rates,
the increase in the cost of operation,
and the wages of railroad employees
as compared with the wages paid In
other industries
The position OF the railroads is that
In the face OF a steady decline in rates
and a steady advance in the cost OF
operation, they are not able to grant
general wage increases in addition to
those already made There were gen.
eral increases in the latter part of 1906
and the early part of 1907, and there
was no subsequent decrease in the
wage rate on railroads, as there was
in other industries, at the time OF the
1907 panic.
"A
chairman Of the interstate commerce
commission, in the Annals of the
American Academy of Political and
Social Science. July, 1903, is quoted.
Mr.. Knapp said: Partly because OF
the strength of railway labor organiza-
tons. which for the most part have
been prudently managed by astute and
able leaders. the general scale OF
wages In railway service has been ma
terially higher than in corresponding
private pursuits. / congratulate ouI
railway friends and the country al
large that means have been devised
for carrying this great industry ovel
this critical period without attempting
a reduction in wages of railway EN-
ployees.'
While freight rates have declined
year by year, the price Of everythi-l;
railroad buys has gone up Thus tn
railroads have not contributed TO thu
rise in prices. but have suffered seri
ously from IT, Fuel is one example
Of how expenses have increased
While the freight traffic increased il
per cent between 1897 and 1907, on al
the railroads in the United states, an
the passenger traffic increased 1875 pc
cent, the cost Of 80 for locomotive
increased 207 per cent Rails, lumbel
pipe, cement glass-all structural m;
terials, show similar increases.
The price Of labor has moved III

made by the railroads. The averag

Stolen.

and Telescopes Which he
Claimed Came From

Frank Samec, young Bohemian,
was arrested while entering the now
unoccupied house at 2036 Payson ave-
nue. in Quincy.
The arrest was made on complaint
OF Oscar Hecox, who runs a general
store at Golden, where Samec was en-
ployed of late. Formerly Samec held
position at the Cadogan-Hatcher
printing establishment, where he lost
a part of one hand in paper cutting
machine. He employed Covert &
Lancaster to bring suit, the amount
of the damages being fixed at $4,000,
which action on his part threw the
concern into bankruptcy.
II was about this time that Attorney
Lancaster traded Quincy residence
property for the Merz general store
at Burton placing Samec, whom he be-
lieved to be an honest and competent
man, in charge. After running the
/ business for a few months, Mr.. Ian.
caster sold out TO good advantage and
Samec secured a position as clerk in
the store of Hecox, at Golden.
Missing goods from his stock, Mr..
Heeox came to Quincy and advised
with Attorney Lancaster, the latter
suggesting that his movements be
watched A few evenings ago Hecoz
discovered number OF pairs OF shoes
which had been taken from the shell
and placed in a box under the coun
ter. That night he arranged with q
friend to have him call at the Heco,
home, where Samec boarded, to in

on the box being Frank Samec. 203

$5OO,OOO IRRIGATION PROJECT

four-ineh water mains, under a 125-
foot pressure. This plant is separ-
ate from the irrigation system and a
large concrete reservoir has been
constructed on Ross hill, point 1875
feet higher than the irrigated tracts.
Plant Of Latest Design.
The entire $500. 900 project Is en-
gineered on latest irrigation designs.
Investment houses in the east are
seeking bonds on the plant, a good
evidence of the increasing popularity
Of irrigation securities In the west. II
has been only recently that the
bonding houses have taken an inter-
est In irrigation bonds, buying them
in place OF what a few years ago
were termed safer but cheaper in
vestments. The fact that Chicago
capital almost exclusively Is invested
in the project plays an important
part in the significance Of the big
system.
That the engineering feat is a
large and important one Is evidenced
in the work itself. Steam shoveIs
have been at work for more than a
week digging the bitches, making
ready for the rush work of laying
the pipes. James Stephenson, Jr.,
state engineer of Idaho and con-
sulting engineer for Trowbridge, Niv-
err & Co., Of Chicago, the largest
bonding house for irrigation seeuri-
ties in the country, designed the lat.
erals, cts, for the distribution OF
the water through the entire acreage.
Edward Hedden. an authority on
the construction of irrigation sys-
TENS, having been identified with the
government reclamation service for
years, is the man whose services
have been secured to carry out the
construction work. Mr.. Hedden will
work under the supervision Of En-
gineer Stephenson.
J. B. Ingersoll, chief electrical
engineer for the Inland Electric sys-
tenn, designed and will install the
electrical apparatus for the delivery
of water.
Where half-million dollar pro-
ject is under way there is always
some interest in the kind of soil
which will be developed According
to John ! S. Malloy, who will handle
the tracts, the soil is of as good
quality as any OF the famous soils
in the valleys of central Washing
ton. According to Mr. Malloy the

OF $500 ACRES
At Doors of Occur d'AIene and

Adjoining tho town of Post Falls,
nine miles west Of Occur d'Alene,
and extending east to within 1--WE
miles Of Occur d'Alepe. big $780,
600 irrigation project is under way,
which will be opened up this spring
and will water thousands of acres
right at the door OF these two towns.
The big irrigation scheme is being
put through by the Post Falls Irriga-
ton company, corporation OF Chi
cago capital. The details and local
management are in the hands OF
John s. Malloy G Co. of Spokane.
The water supply for the plant
which will irrigate these three or
four thousand acres will come from
Hayden lake, covering almost 1000
acres. The lake is only FIVE miles
from the tracts to be irrigated.
Perpetual Water Rights.
The state of Idaho has granted the
company permit for perpetually d.
verting the waters of Hayden lake
for irrigation purposes. A complete
double pumping plant, electrically
equipped, consisting of two motors,
two centrifugal pumps, with capa--
city of $4,000 gallons a minute, will
be installed. This plant will pump
water through a 42-inch pipe line,
underground, for little over four
miles to point where the water will
be distributed by gravity over $500
acres, all platter. The highest point
vertically along the entire pipe line
to which the water is elevated is "a
feet. This, 1t is claimed. completes
one of the quickest deliveries in any
irrigation project in Idaho.
