Blackfoot Citizens
Want Electric Line
Interesting Meeting Held Monday
Afternoon to Discuss Plans
Of Building Line From
St. Anthony

A meeting of interested citizens
was held last Monday afternoon tt
discuss plans for building the electric
road from st. Anthony to Blackfoot
The meeting was held in the Isis the.
atre and was called to order by Mr.
Douglas, who was chairman.
Mr.. Young was called on to ad-
dress the audience as to the purpose
of the meeting and the plans to be
followed. He gave an explanation
of map which he had drawn of the
proposed line taken by the railroad
as explained to him by Division Sup
erintendent Armstrong of the o. S. L.
which line was to be built around by
st. Anthony tapping the country
around Goshen and Presto and end
ing at Firth.
The meeting was held for the pur-
pose of making arrangements to have
the road come to Blackfoot. Mayor
Capps who addressed the audience
for few minutes, stated that the O.
s. l.. contemplated making many i'm
provements on the local yards by
building round house, enlarging the
yards, the depot and moving the
stock yards, and should the railroad
decide to go only as far as Firth they
would build the round house and
make many improvements at that
point. Should this road come to
Blackfoot it would pass through a
rich agricultural and fruit country
tributary to this city that would not
only help Blackfoot, but the coun-
try surrounding.
A committee of seven consisting of
Messrs. Young, Fisher, Christy, John
son, Beithan, Douglas and Capps was
appointed to look into the matter.
They were instructed to invite Mr..
Armstrong to visit the proposed site
and accompany him there and point
out to hi mthe many advantages of
having the road come to Blackfoot.
The committe also has the power to
| another meeting of the citizens
to discuss further plans.
Every citizen of Blackfoot should
feel interested in this new road as it |
will eventually make Blackfoot the
central trading point of all this rich
section. Every inducement possible
should be offered the railroad to
)uild to Blackfoot.

To Work Group Of
Mines Near Arco
Strong Company Of Pocatello Men
Organized to Develop Rich
Group Of Mines in Lava
Mining District.
(Pocatello Tribune)

| u OCotCAlO 1liUuhOJ
| Articles of incorporation of the
Colonial Mining Co. have recently
been filed with E. G. Gallett, county
clerk and recorder. The articles OF
the new organization provide for a
capitalization of $4,000 represented
by 100000 shares, at the rate of rs
cents per share.
The property of the company is To-
Gated in the Lava creek mining dis
trict west of Arco in Blaine county.
The stockholders and incorporators
are mostly Pocatello men and the
principal office of the company is To-
Gated here.
Sam Bettens the east side employ
ment man, is the president, H. c..
Newton treasurer, and Chas. Pierce
the attorney, is secretary.
Several of the parties most heavily
interested in the new concern are
practical miners of long experience.
The Colonial is situated on a well
defined lode that can be traced dis
tinctly on the surface for several
miles. The lead is true fissure vein
twenty feet wide and shows encour-
aging values.
AS soon as the snow leaves the trail
into the district two shifts of men
will be placed at work driving tun-
mel into the main lode which it is
expected will be tapped in about two
hundred feet at depth of four hun
dred feet below the apex.
This district is showing results,
property in this district recently
shipped carload of ore that melted
over eight hundred dollars. The Of
flee of the secretary and treasurer is
located in the Dietrich block.
Six men have been engaged in de-
velopment work on the property this
winter, the tunnel already having
been run one hundred feet in the be-
ginning of the work to be continued |
this spring.
A fifty foot shaft has been sunk on |
the property in tunnel near the sur
face. Sufficient work has been done
to warrant vigorous development |
work for the purpose of demonstrat-
ing what the main lode will carry at
depth.
If the expectations of the owners
are realized even in small degree
he property will be great producer.

Idaho Southern TAX
en- Over yShortLi
Takes Up Option on Road and
Will Operate it in Connec-
ton With the Balance
OF the System.

Rupert, March 5.-Reliable infor
nation has been given to the Pho.
neer- Record to the effect that the
Oregon Short Line has taken up the
option which it has been holding fol
some time past on what is known as
the Idaho Southern railway. This
line operates now between Gcoding
and Jerome on the north side of the
Snake river and between Milner and
Oakley on the south side.
The original survey of this line ex-
tends through to point in Nevada
on the Western Pacific, and another
takes 1t further east to connect with
the Eccles line between Salt Lake
City and Ogden, Utah. 1t was the
original intention of the promoters
to make it an electric line throughout
and later to extend it further north
and west.
For some time the Oregon. Short
Line has held an option on the lines
now in operation and the projected
survey, but has been holding off wait
ing developments and contending
that the price asked was too high.
Late movements of the interests
which are putting in power stations
along the Snake river and buying up
electric lines in Boise and west, has
caused them to get busy and the deal
has been closed. Representatives of
the o. S. L. are now busy going over
the books of the Idaho Southern, as
the cost of construction, at
which price 1t Is to be taken over.
Just what effect this latest move
will have upon the future building
Of the various projected lines in this
section of the state is, of course,
problematical, but it is more than
likely that the O. s. l.. will continue
It's apparent policy to hold the terri
,ory as fully as possible.

Use Of Forage
Crops for Hogs.
BY w. .. Richards, Professor
Animal Husbandry, North
Dakota Agricultural College.

!. i. + + + i. j j !.
Experimental work has demonstrat-
ed that the use OF forage crops is an
economical way Of producing pork. II
we expect to grow hogs and prepare
them for market exclusively by the
use of grain 1t will not be found very
profitable as a rule. It is difficult to
understand why more farmers do not
take advantage OF feeding off green
crop. The chief hindrance to this,
practice, no doubt, is the fencing, but
the cost OF providing the necessary
fences to take advantage of feeding
these crops will not warrant anyone
in neglecting to use forage crops in
rearing swine. They furnish, the grow
Ing pig succulent food, which en-
ables him to assimilate better the
grain which is fed in addition. The
practice of letting pigs forage off
green crops also assures the growing
pig a sufficient quantity of protein to
enable him to thrive properly. The
crops that can be grown successfully
for this purpose in North Dakota are
clover, alfalfa, rape, peas and barley,
and oats alone or with peas and bar
ley. :=s
Trials carried on at the Wisconsin
Experiment Station by Professor
Craig to determine the value of rape
for feeding pigs show in one trial
that. an acre was equivalent to, 1886
pounds OF grain consisting Of one part
of shorts to two parts of grain. In
another trial an acre was equal to
2,217.5 pounds of grain. The results
indicate that rape is a very valuable
