WORK PROGRESSING.
Road Completed for q Miles Out of
Richfield.

The Recorder editor this week COW
cred the entire distance from the west
terminus of the Central Idaho Rail-
road to Richfield, most of it on foot,
with the sole intention of seeing the
condition of the road It's a good long
walk, If any one wants to know it
but it's far more than worth it to the
man who wants to know.
The trains are now running out TO
the Big Wood River bridge, almost 81
miles. The bridge is not finished but
will be ready to cross by the 10th of
December, or earlier. 1t is 81 feet
high, more than 400 feet long, and it's
enough to make anyone wonder how
they did it so quickly. The present
bridge is a temporary trestle struc-
ture, to be replaced next year by a
permanent truss structure. This can
be done without interruption of traf-
fic
Between the Big Wood and the Ma
lad, Is miles, there is lot of heavy
work; rock and gravel cuts and heavy
fills that fairly bury money to build
But the work is almost done: it, will
be finished, to the last shovelful of
earth, within a week. That is the
earth and rock work, the small bridges
are not quite completed, though they
should be inside of ten days.
AT the Malad crossing. there is a
vast amount of work to do. They are
hauling gravel eight miles for part of
the concrete piers and crushing some
local rock to get enough. There are
to be two piers, 34x14-2 feet and 50
teet nigh and two abutment piers The
intensely cold weather-several de-
grees below zero-has seriously de-
layed the concrete work, despite the
steam-heating plant to dry the mater
ial. Much as it is to be regretted, it
Will take several weeks to effect a
crossing.
From the Malad to Corral, the earth
work is finished; and several pile
drivers are at work on the small
bridges. In the deep soil of the Prairie
all the bridges are of piling; on this
side the Malad, they are of framed
tlmbers set on ground stills of con-
crete or timber
At Corral, there was considerable
earth work to do, but very large out
TIT was at work, and due to finish this
week. large outfit is also at work
on the terminal yards at Prairie City,
due to finish in two weeks.
And that's all, except laying the rest
of the track
The company has spent small for
tune in extra men, extra freights and
rush work to complete the Job this
season Engineer Osborne and his eff
ficient staff, backed up by the whole
o. S. l.. system, have kept faith with
the people in trying to finish it this
year; and if it is physically possible.
they'll achieve the impossible and do
it.-Richfield Recorder.

BETTER RATES.
Eastern Railway Officials Bring Good
News to Idaho.

That the Idaho tariff, making ma
terial reductions from the east to this
state, will be published by January Is
on the Hartman lines, was the an
nouncement made last night at $50
O'Clock at the Boise Commercial club.
Following fve-hour conference be-
tween the traffic committee of the
club and several high officials of the
oregon Short Line and Union Pacific
railroads.
ms announcement is of vital i'm
port to Idaho. 1t was said that this
state would thereby enjoy practically
all reductions ordered by the inter-
state commerce commission for the in
Ter mountain country in the Spokane
ana salt Lake rate cases. The com
merce court has overruled the commits
sion orders in the Spokane case. and
appeal Will be taken in that matter to
the united States supreme court
But This adjustment between local
representatives and the Hartman Of
llclals Yesterday assures lower rates TO
iuano anyway. The objection had
been made by Idaho shippers and lob
pers mat Boise was placed at a disad-
vantage following the Salt Lake case
Wnen the Idaho rates were compared
with those put in force for other west
ern and northwestern cities. Yester-
days agreement puts Boise iobbers on
an equal footing in rates with Salt
Lake.
1t was not possible to ascertain inst
when the Idaho tariff will be publish
ed, but 1t was said that Frank Plaisted
assisted by big corps of clerks is
working as. rapidly as possible in the
chicago office to get this new tariff
out, and it is hoped that it will be in
enect by January Is.

ence were J. A. Monroe. vice nrasi-

TAFT AND HIS CABINET

Washington, Dec. 18.-President
Taft and the members of his Cabinet
were given a demonstration of the
blowing up of the battleship Maine in
Havana harbor February 10, 1898.
The demonstration was under the
direction of Rear-Admiral Charles T.
Vreeland, chairman of the Maine
board, which, after studying the
wreck, made report confirming the
verdict of the Sampson court of in
quiry. He was assisted by Chief Con-
structor Watt
Business of the Cabinet was delayed
halfa II hour while these two officials
showed how the primary explosion
occurred on the outside against the
lowermost portion of the hull.
The model of the wreck recently
made on the scene by Naval Con-
structor Ferguson, was used. 1t shows
every section of the ship as it was
found by the wreckers.

]. is an interesting sight to see the
relays Of men unloading the steamers
and the cars with which they handle
the fruit between the hold and the
dray. In the water by the steamers
side are numbers Of boys eagerly on
the lookout for any fruit that may
drop from the gangway.
To bring cargoes of fruit from the
tropics in the winter season requires
the greatest attention Loaded on
cars at the port to be carried to In
land markets. they may meet a cold
storm, and this makes transportation
perilous. Should the fruit that a few
days previous was basking in the
tropical sunshine become chilled
thoroughly it would be ruined. The
ripening process would cease, and de
cay at once set in. So careful men
are sent along with the banana cars
to keep the temperature in them
equable. These men are usually
known as banana messengers.
Hundreds of these men find employ

The development OF che banana
trade 40 one of the great Industrial
surprises OF recent years Twenty I.
1--WE years ago n few hundred punches
would be brought North from the Car.
ibbean. but for these there was mo-
great demand. But the people Of the
United States gradually acquired the
banana taste. until al present the inn.
portauons are valued at more than
ti2,000.00O annually In the height
OF tho season more than twenty-five
vessels a week leave Jamaica, Central
America and Hawaii for the markets,
according to the Journal Of Education
The chief receiving ports are Boston,
New York, New Orleans and San
Francisco. The two frstnamed sup

The banana is a tropical fruit. It's
original home was i'm Southern Asia.
chiefly the Malay Archipelago But
it has been widely distributed until IL
is now grown in nearly every tropical
land. The banana (musa sapientum)
belongs to the natural order Of musa-
ceae, which has a large number Of
species Many of them. however, do
not produce edible fruit There are
two kinds that enter most largely into
the American trade. One of these is
grown in Hawaii, and is commonly
known as the Chinese banana. It has
a superior flavor, but the fruit is more
delicate to handle and transport than
some other varieties, and as a conse-
quence the trade in it is more lin
tied. The Hawaiian banana rarely
gets beyond California markets But
the trade in this variety is slowly but
constantly increasing.
100000 Bananas Per Steamer.
The Jamaica variety is the chief
banana of the American trade. By the
formation of the fruit bunch, it is pc
culiarly adapted to transport without
being wrapped for protection. Some
botanists identify this banana with
the plantain, while others stoutly OPP
pose such Identification. 1t is fine in
appearance. fair in flavor, the punches
large-some reaching to a length Of
three feet and a breadth of fifteen to
eighteen inches. 1t is the banana Of

feet
The plant is propogated by budding

will stand fairly low temperature, but
it is a tropical plant and grows mos
rapidly and luxuriantly in high tenn
peratures. The fruit bunch averages
about 125 bananas. Forty Thousand
lunches are sometimes brought tC
port by single vessel, so these would
be equal to 100000 separate fruits.
Bananas Succeeded Sugar.
Years ago Jamaica was a sugar-pro
ducing island But Industrial changes
ruined it's sugar industry. The island
was saved from bankruptcy by goinl
