RAILROAD TO CONTACT.
Salt Lake and Twin Falls Men BOOST.
ing for Line to Copper Camp.

Mining activity to a large extent
has blaZed the trail for railroad con-
struction in the west. The day has
come when no camp of great import
ance is without it's railroad. Nevada
has especially been the scene of an
immense amount of railroad building,
since Tonopah, Goldfeld, Ely and sew
eral other districts have been develop
ed extensively by mining operators
and almost inexhaustible bodies of
precious metal have been exposed. But
the end is not yet. A number of new
mineral fields are coming to the front,
prominent among which is Contact.
Salt LakerS are interested in the
Contact district to considerable ex-
tent One of the most active opera
tors in that camp is Salt Laker who
by heroic efforts has succeeded in in
teresting a large amount of outside
capital. He has determined upon plac-
ing the camp within easy access of a
railroad and has with him a number
of Twin Falls people who are anxious
to have new line that will give it
closer connection with a number of
the outlying districts. The Twin Falls
crowd has already agreed to help in
the financing of the projected line to
the extent of 100000, and others who
are interested in farming and mining
ground which will be tapped by the
road are willing to put up an equal
amount.
The line now proposed is to start
from Shafter on the Western Pacific
and Nevada Northern lines and build
through Contact and on to Twin Falls.
This would give direct connection with
this city and Ely and give mine own
ers of Contact an opportunity to ship
either to the valley smelters or the
Steptoe plant near Ely. 1t would prac-
tically mean that the Western Pacific
could enter into competition with the
Short Line in Idaho, and there is lit
tie doubt that inducements would be
offered the new railroad builders to
extend their line to Boise and other
Idaho points.
Arrangements are under way to
nave the survey made at once. The
field engineers will be able to collect
all the data that will be required to
present to the projectors of this line,
and actual construction could be start
ed by the first Of the year. The in
tention is to start construction from
Shafter, as it would be an easy mat
ter to get material and supplies de-
Hvered to that point from this market
The work has been carefully outlined
and some of the engineers are in the
field. Contact and Idaho people are
very hopeful of the line being COM
pleted within possibly a year.-Salt

The principal objects of the asso-
citation are to promote spirit of CO.
operation among those engaged in real
estate business; to economize their
own time and that of their customers
in showing property by keeping all
the members fully posted at all times
as to prices and terms of all property
on the market and avoiding duplica-
ton of effort in locating buyers; to
maintain a higher standard of busi-
ness methods; to cooperate with the
commercial organizations of the coun-
ty and with the public generally in
pushing along any good thing for the
community; to discourage "curbing"
and the Objectionable methods of So
liciting business; to avoid confusion
and possible litigation by the use of a
uniform listing card, exclusive as to
the exchange, under the terms of
which the owner deals with but one
firm and yet has the benefit of the eff
forts Of the entire membership of the
association in effecting a sale; and to
merit and hold the confidence of the
community.
The public are responding cordially
to the proposition as indicated by the
large number Of new listings receiv-
ed by Secretary Lindsey and by him
distributed to all the members List
ings may be made with either of above
named firms.
The rates for commissions have not
been changed the regular rate, as
heretofore, being 5 per cent on first
$4,000 and 2h per cent of sums in ex-
cess of that amount. Exceptions are
made in the case of Salmon River
land, for which the minimum rate is
81 per acre, and in the case of trades,
in which reduction is made.
All persons and firms in the county,
actually engaged in real estate busi-
ness and maintaining an office for
that purpose, are eligible to member
ship. With the strong lineup indicat-
ed by the foregoing list, it looks as
though it will be increasingly diff
cult for outside firms to obtain salts

BLAME PHYSICIANS FOR
GROWTH OF DOPE HABIT
Druggists Say Prescriptions and Not
Patent Medicines the
Cause.

New York.-Blame for the prev.
alence and growth OF the morphine
habit was placed on the shoulders of
physicians. who prescribed the drug,
at meeting of druggists here to-
night to protest against the recently
enacted city ordinance prohibiting the
sale at retail of any preparation con.
tanning morphine or it's salts except
upon a doctors prescription.
The ordinance is aimed primarily
at paregoric and at stomach remedies,
according to members of the board of
health who were instrumental in OBJ
tanning it's passage. Caswell Mayo,
one of the druggists, said he had
made a canvass by mail of several
sanitariums and the replies convinced
him 80 per cent. of the victims of
drugs formed the habit as result of
using prescriptions given by physi-
clans and only per cent. from using
proprietary medicines.

ECZEMA GONE, B0ILS CURED

MY son was about three weeks old
when noticed breaking-out on his
cheeks, from which a Yatery sub
stance oozed. A short time after, his
arms, shoulders and breast broke out
also, and in few days became a solid
scab. l became alarmed, and called
our family physician, who at once pro-
nounced the disease eczema The lit
tie fellow was under his treatment
for about three months. BY the end
of that time. he seemed no better. /
became discouraged, and as I had
read the advertisements of Cuticura
Remedies and testimonials of a great
many people who had used them with
wonderful success, dropped the doc
tors treatment, and commenced the
use of Cuticura Soap and Ointment,
and in few days noticed a marked
change. The eruption on his cheeks
was almost healed, ana his shoulders,
arms and breast were decidedly bet
ter. When he was about seven
months old all trace of the eczema
was gone.
During his teething period, his
head and face were broken out in
hollis which / cured with Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. Surely he must
have been great sufferer. During the
time of teething and from the time /
dropped the Doctors treatment, 1 used
the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment, nothing else, and when two
years old he was the picture of health,
His complexion was soft and. beauti-
full. and his head mass of silky curls.
I had been afraid that he would never
be well, and feel that l owe a great
deal to the Cuticura Remedies"
