Dollars.

With an authorized capital O
$4,000, 900, the organization was com

CATION and Power company, and ar
ticles of Incorporation drawn up. TIL.

the Snake river at Garnet, point
Just below Mountain Home.
1T Is expected that $4,000 horse
power will be developed, which viii
be transmitted to various points i'm
the state. In addition to the power
secured about 10000 acres are to be
placed under irrigation. The cost oi
the dam is estimated at between
s4,000,000 and $5,0O0,00O. Already
about $4,000 has been expended In
making surveys for the dam.
THE organization of this company
has been under way for some time
past, and negotiations have been
steadily going forward The company
is backed by prominent New York
flnanciers, who have made arrange
ments for furnishing the necessary
capital, Work on the project will
begin without delay.
This is one of the\ largest and
strongest irrigation and power COM
panies which has ever contemplated
doing business in Idaho, and it means
great deal to the Mountain Home
section and to the state. The fiman-
cal backing is such that nothing can
prevent the completion of the dam
and irrigation works, and now that
the concern is fully launched little
delay is expected"

WILL DOUBLE
TRACK O. S. L.
Work Of Improvement VIII Begin as
Soon as Weather VIII Permit and
Rapid Progress VIII Be the Order.

Sale Lake, Feb. 5.-Among the first
work that win be done by the Har-
rlman system In the west as the re-
suit OF the executive committees ac-
tion dn New York City Tuesday in
voting $75,00O,00O for the double
tracking of the Union Pacific, the
Southern Pacific and the Oregon
Short Line will be the double-track-
Ing OF the Oregon Short Line from
Pennington to Ogden, a distance Of
little more than twenty two miles.
and the double tracking OF the Short
Line system west from Pocatello
for a distance OF about fifteen miles.
Appropriations for these improve
ments are assured, and the work will
be done during the present year, ac-
cording to statement from the head
office Of the Short Lime Wednesday
afternoon.
During the last two years the Short
Line has completed the work OF
double-tracking Its hne from this city
to Pennington where the work was
stopped several months ago, awaiting
orders from the executive committee
OF the road. The order to proceed
with the work has been received and
as soon as the weather permits the
work will be begun and will be push
ed with all possible speed.
The announcement was made from
the office of General Manager w. II.
Bancroft Wednesday afternoon that
the road expected to complete the
work before the end OF the present
year. This means that the work will
progress at far greater speed than
was the work of double-tracking the
Line from this City to Pennington.
With the doubletracluing OF the
main line for distance Of fifteen
miles west Of Pocatello, thds will give
the Short Line q stretch of q little
more than forty miles Of d0uble-rtack
from McCammon to point west Of
Pocatello. General Manager Bancroft
said Wednesday that 1t was the in
tention Of the company todonble-track
all OF Its main line as rapidly as pos
sible and that the work that would
be done during the year 1911 would
be small In comparison to that which
would be done during the next five
years.
THE announcement Of Judge Rob.
ert s. Lovett, chairman of the exec
utive committee OF theHarriman lines,
that those lines would expend SIS. 1000
900 In double-tracking the lines Of
the Union Pacific the Southern Pacdf-
lc and the Oregon Short Le," said
Mr.. Bancroft, Should be good news
TO the people OF the west, Not only
will thiss mean increasing OF the tran
portation facilities OF the west, but
much Of the money will also be spent
and circulated In the west. We
have known for a long time that 1t
was only question oftime when this
work would have to be done to
meet the growing needs OF the west.
The information from New York Is
indeed gratifying to me, as 1t must
De to every man In the west.

ton will meet with very little OPP
position. Most citizens realize the
value of these public improve
ments, aside from their practical
use, as an advertisement of our
progressive spirit and up-to. dated
ness, and when you take into con-
sideratiOn the wealth represented,
the one hundred thousand dollars
asked for with twenty years to pay
it, it is not an extravagant PROPOSE
ton.
There is doubtless some little
prejudice existing, but we need a
new building and it must have a
location. Paris is most centrally
located, and while a new court
house would look nice it would not
bring one dollar to them, and seri-
ously, they need some recOmpense
for having been burdened with the
present old eye sore as long as they
have Paris has recently spent and
is preparing to spend for public inn
provements about 100000, and
their assessed valuation is 100000,
so you will readily see, even though
you may be prejudiced that you
must admit that there is another
side to the proposition.
Lets lay aside petty differences
and make the thing unanimous fol
a building that will not only afford
safety and convenience but one
which any citizen may point out t.
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1911-09-07

Monroe county's new court house
will be just as modern as those in
Adair, Boone, Cooper and other
progressive counties. This means
that waiting rooms and toilet rooms
for women who are forced to attend
court will be provided, and that
suitable quarters for county gather
ings will be included. While the
building will stand as a monument
to the cOunty's enterprise. it should
be made to advertise the county's
resources. One large room should
be filled with choice grains. grasses
and fruits, while the walls should
be adorned with pictures of fancy
stock from Monroe county farms.
to the end that all who visit the
county seat may get some idea Of
the wonderful possibilities of Mon
roe county soil.

Your Correspondent Visited SedaIia
Telegraph School and Was Shown
Through This ELEGANT Institution
BY Its Genial Principal, Prof. B.
Dawson. Large Number of Stud
ents Enrolling. Many Placed in
Good Positions.
Everything in the way of equip
ment that will add to the students
convenience. comfort and knowl-
edge of Railway office work, is
found in this marvellous school.
The NJ X. & T. Railroad has plac-
ed its dispatcher's wire in this
school so that the pupil receives
the dispatches that pass over the
main Railroad wire. The graduate
of this school has become thorough
ly familiar with the use of the wire
in actual Railroad business, when
he has been graduated from this
school, and he, in consequence is
placed in a good position on the
road.
Mr.. Dawson is one of the most
thorough and experienced Railroad
men to be found in the U. S. He
was for ten years train dispatcher
on the Mo. P. R. R. and is a gentle
man of far more than ordinary
ability. The pupils state that he is
one of the kindest and most will
ing teachers that can be found.
When the pupil has finished his
course with MIR. Dawson as his in
structor, he is thoroughly prepared
to successfully run an Office on the
road.
Coupon ticket cases. switch boards
battery rooms and individual cabi-
nents for pupils who are placed in
charge of stations. letter presses
large golden oak tables with glass
partitions and Bunnell Keys and

one could desire. is found in this
the most practical telegraph school
in America.
Your correspondent was surpris-
ed at the large number of pupils
enrolling at this school. Many
have been placed in good positions
the past week and not all the va
GAMES have been filled for want of
graduates.

From The Madison Times of June
10th


Petitions are being circulated
over Monroe county and will be
presented to the County Court at
the regular August Term asking
that an election be ordered for the
purpose of voting bonds for a new
court house. This question has
been STAYED off from one cause or
another until it has reached a point
where it is imperative that we
take hold of it and settle it as any
progressive and prosperous COM
munity should, by building suit
able and commodious structure in
which may be housed our valuable
records and documents. The pre-
sent building is a mere wreck and
any fair minded citizen will so de-
eide after an examination. At our
present assessed valuation, only
eight cents on the hundred would
pay a one hundred thousand dollar
bond issue in twenty years and
should our assessed value increase
in the next twenty years as it has
in the past, six cents on the hund
red would be ample.
This is a matter in which every
citizen is vitality interested and nov
is the time to settle it. We meek
the building. we are able to have it
and from a general discussion
heard SO far we believe the PROPOSE

a stranger with pride. We have a
County Court peculiarly fitted to
carry out such a project, and if the
way the straws are blowing is any
indication of the direction from
which the wind comes, they are
soon going to have this to do. Put
away your little hammers, your
knockers. and come on up TO your
seat in the band wagon.
From The Memphis Democrat.
A petition has been circulated
in Monroe County for the County
court to order an election to vote
bonds for the building of a court
hourt house. The amount of bond
asked IN the petition is one humid
red thousand dollars, and the Paris
Appeal is taking the sensible view
that the county, wealthy as it is
needs a modern, safe receptacle for
its valuable records.
Monroe is one of the richest
counties in the State, and she can
well afford to spend the amount
designated in the petition for this
purpose. The bonds for the Scot
land county court house will sooI
have been all paid. Every taX
payer in the County when he goes
to sleep at nights knows that the
record of the deed of his property
is in a fire proof receptacle at the
new court house in Memphis, Mon
roe county should not be slow t
/ get in the procession.

From The Monroe City News July
18th

The News wants Monroe County
to build court house commensu-
rate with Monroe county's great
ness. One that can be pointed to
with pride by Monroe countians
100 years from now. The difference
in tax on bonds for a cheap one
will not amount to ten cents a year
to the average tax payer. What is
worth doing in this respect is worth
doing right
