keys or small islands lying at the
southern end of Florida. Now this
wonderful piece of railway construc-
ton has been completed, and on Mon
day of last week the road was formally
opened The Oversee Railway is due
to the broad vision and the financial
courage of one man---Mr. Henry M
Flagler, who now, at the age of eighty
two, sees the gigantic plan which he
conceived brought to a successful end.
A glance at the accompanying map
will show the course of this line,
which jumps, as it were, from one is
land to another over enormous bridges
and trestles. The longest of these
jumps is that crossed by the great
Flagler Viaduct, which is over seven
miles in length. In many places the
bed of the road is made of coral rock;
large scale. The road ends in Key
West, after one final leap across the
deep water. Thus Key West which is
already an important manufacturing
place, but given over almost solely to
the one industry Of cigar-making, and
is the southernmost point on our At
lantic coast, is made physically as well
as politically a part of the United
States There is good reason to ex-
pect thai the result may be to make
Key West 4 port of general import
ance, particularly after the compile
ton of the Panama canal. The other
great object accomplished by the new
| railway is to bring the capital Of Cuba
much nearer to the United States. by
the new route the time from New York
| to Havana is reduced to only six hours
| The line is about one hundred and fifty
miles in length, running from Miam
| to Key West, and it's construction has
cost over one hundred thousand dol
lars per mile. It's exposure to the sea
| has made necessary unusually strong
and heavy construction, and the cos
| has been increased by the fact that al
materials have had to be brought
great distance, including even tn
drinking water used by the laborers
The traveller by this route will hav'
the novel experience of long journey
over slender causeway which for
long distance separates the Atlanta
Ocean from the Gulf of MeXico.-Th

THE v1ND1CATIoN OF DIR. WILEY

THE V1ND1CATION OF DIR. WILEY
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley's course in en-
forcing the Pure Food Law not only
against frauds and quacks, bHt also
against the influence Of some fellow
officials in the government, has been
approved by regular committee of
the house of representatives. And the
report OF the committee is signed by
all its members, Democratic and Re-
publican alike. AS chief of the bureau
of chemistry, DR.. Wiley has borne the
brunt of the struggle to make the pure
food law effective. He has had to see
much of his effort nullified by others,
particularly by Solicitor McCabe, of
the department of agriculture. When
charges were brought against DR..
Wiley, and were Endorsed by Attorney
General Wickersham, the fight was
brought into the open. Though the
president refused to sustain the
charges, and decided in favor of DR..
Wiley, the committee on expenditures
in the department OF agriculture In
vestigated the matter. AS result the
committee finds that the adniinistra-
ton of the department has been faulty,
especially in reducing Dr.. Wiley's au-
thority and in treating administrative
questions as if they were judicial. The
! committee recognizes the services that
Mr.. Wilson the secretary OF agrieul-
ture, has rendered, but speaks plainly

According to verified statements
from business men of the cities on the
Minidoka project, the rate for electric
lighting is surprisingly cheap COM
pared with that furnished to this city.
From the government power plant at
Rosston on the Minidoka project, in
candescent sixteen candle power lights
on a minimum basis of six lights, cost
the consumer twenty-five cents per
light for a month, burning the same
day and night if they SO desire. or
this amount ten cents per light goes to
the city where the lights are used and
fifteen cents to the government. AS a
basis of comparison the citizen of Twin
Falls would pay about seven dollars
per month per sixeen candle power
lights if used all the time. The ques-
ton which is puzzling the business
men here is just what makes the diff
ference in the rates and just why this
city has to pay higher rate for
cheaper generated power than does the
citizen of the government project
town. Perhaps the lighting company
here has some explanation for the
difference. 1t certainly would be in
teresting to hear 1t try, at least.

There are several methods of COM
hating mail order business which the
Times respectfully submits to the pus-
mess men. One Is IN the use of prin-
ters' ink and advertising space OF the
newspapers. 1t has probably come to
the notice oil number right at press
emf, that Montgomery, Ward & Com
pany believe in printers ink in one
form at least, and that has caused
some disturbance in this city. Right
at present in the city of Twin Falls
some twenty per cent of the BUSINESS
houses are doing ninety per cent OF
the advertising which is bringing in
trade for the entire city. The rest OF
the business men can be said to real
ize on the other fellows energy lr
checking over the ground floor busl'
ness houses just along Main avenue
there are some ninety-eight businesses
represented. OF that number only
thirty-one firms carry any advertising
whatsoever during the year. or the
thirty-one only sixteen can be SAID tt
be CONSTANT advertisers. In TWO
solid blocks along this avenue there Il
only one advertiser. Dray your owl
conclusions as to the result, Thf
same can be said with regard to thu
other business sections. The business
men who are bringing in trade ant
keeping Twin Falls to the front arr
also the heaviest contributors Il
every fund for public benefit. Think !
over Do you wonder that the mai
order houses have easy picking off tn
tract when eighty per cent Of the bust
ness houses are continually silent a
to their wares?

BROADWAY GETS A SHOCK,

The all-pervading unrest OF JonesviIle

frame house of Judge Spotswood The
closing Of the gum plant would mean
more to the judge than to any other man
in the town. He was local counsel to the
company. The honorable dealings Of the
Jones succession had obviat ted almost all
legal business outside Of the town itself
