CANNOT ISSUE WARRANTS FOR
ROSS FORK ROAD

The first effort to secure aid in the
completion of the building of the
Ross Fork road was unsuccessful, the
state board of examiners notifying
the committee representing the auto
mobile clubs that they could not issue
deficiency warrants. The Capital
News said:
"The state board of examiners no
titled the representative of the south
eastern counties assisting in the con-
struction of the Ross Fork road, who
are R. ]. Hays, Theodore Turner and
r. r. Jones, the latter commissioner
of Bingham county, that it would be
impossible to issue deficiency war
rants to the amount of $4,000 for
the completion of the highway and
that if the counties there have raised
SIS, 900 for that purpose and expect
to be reimbursed by the next legls-
lature.. they would have to spend
their own money and take their
chance of securing the appropriation
through legislative enactment.
.'The good roads enthusiasts OF the
southeast estimate that if the ba ance
of the Ross Fork road is completed
this spring, there will be saving OF
from $4,000 to $4,000 and for that
purpose they have combined Ban
mock, Bear Lake, Bonneville, FIRE.
mont and Bingham, counties, to raise
the SIS, 900 and have met with sue
cess. Arrangements will be made, 1T
is said, to finish the road with the
money raised and take chance with
the next legislature for reimburse
ment. II. s3
This road is five miles in length
and $4,000 is being expended omit.
Estimates made figure that $4,000
additional will be needed to place the
highway in the condition engineers
believe necessary.
"The automobile association of the
southeastern counties is standing be-
hind the good road advocates and the
prospects for the completion of the
highway with the sum of money
raised looked good, it is said.

Wants Government to Check
Grand Trunk-NeW Haven Deal.
TWO REMEDIES SUGGESTED
Suit for Restraining Order or
Prosecution for Violation
of Law Proposed.

Washington, Nov. ia suit for a re-
straining order to prevent the alleged
traffic and mileage agreements between
the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada and
the New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad becoming effective, and prosecu-
tion for violation Of the sherman anti
trust law, are declared the two remedies
TO meet the situation now agltating the
Industrial and commercial interests in
the New England States.
Officials of Massachusetts and Rhode
Island called on President Taft and At
torney General Wickersham to-day and
action, and 1t was pointed out by Mr.
Wickersham that the two steps men,
toned were proper, II the situation was
as outlined by the compliments
II Is probable that the Department Of
Justice will first seek an injunction by
fling suit i'm the federal court, either !n
Boston or Providence, provided the in
vestigation now being made shows there
is ground to warrant such action.
The conference between Mr. Wicker
sham and the New England state Of
Gcials. who declared they were powerless
I'm the matter. was held in the White
House. those present including William c..
Bliss. Samuel T.. Hudson and Robert +.
Rodman, OF the Rhode Island Public
Utilities Board, and Frederick Macleod

Railroad Commission. The New England
delegation then went 10 the Department
OF Justice and conferred further with
Mr. Wickersham and Jesse G. Adkins,
Assistant Attorney General, who has
charge of the inquiry by the department.
The burden OF the complaint Of the
state officials was that the alleged secret
traffic and mileage agreements between
the two roads meant the abandonment Of
projects for the extension Of the Grand
Trunk line through territory now monopo-
lizcd by the New Haven interests Il
was stated that the Grand Trunk had
planned 70 carry it's system into the
heart Of the New Haven territory, and
that s2,5OOOOO had been expended to this
end when the projects were abruptly
halted. and Il was learned that secret
agreement had been reached by the roads.
Some light may be shed on the legal as
pect Of the controversy by the opinion
Of the United States Supreme Court in
the Union Pacific merger case, which in
wolves the alleged violation Of the anti
trust law by a railroad combination. This
case was heard by the court during the
last term. but the decision has not yet
