MELLEN VISITS TAFT
The Two Presidents Discuss Legisla-
ton Affecting Railroads.

New York, April 3-The Evening
Post, under a Washington date, pub
fishes the following.
Charles S. Mellen, president of the
New York, New Have nand Hartford
railroad, was visitor at the White
House yesterday, where he called
especially with reference to pending
legislation affecting combined rail.
road interests. The situation which
has brought Mr.. Mellen to Washing
ton arises fro mthe prohibition in the
Panama Canal bill. reported to the
House by the committee on Interstate
and foreign commerce, against rail-
whether or not engaged in the for
eign or domestic trade.
Represent ]. Harry Covington OF
Maryland introduced on March IA a
bill prohibiting after a. certain date
the ownership by any railroad COM
pany of any steamship line, which
might be operated in competition with
such railroad. No hearing was Civ.
en- upon this bill, and it was prompt
ly adopted as an amendment to the
Panama Canal bill. If enacted into
law, it is held, it would so broaden
the Panama Canal legislation as to
prohibit the operation of steamship
lines by railroad companies, whethez
the ships were to pass through the
Panama canal or not.
IAN immediate efefct of this pro.
posed legislation would be to divorce
the New Haven syste n1from its
steamship lines running between New
England and New York The rail-
road managers declare that such a
dissolution would be disastrous, not
only to themselves but to New Eng.
land business interest, which, they
say, notably, in the textile trade, use
the steamship lines in preference tc
the railroads for sending cotton and
woolens to New York because of the
superior facilities for delivery which
the steamships enjoy The rate is the
same as the railroad rate

Poison or Disease?

Westport is in the grasp of some
mysterious malady deadly to the ca
nine inhabitants Of the town, or else
some person is poisoning the dogs by
the wholesale. Within the past four
days no less than ten dogs have sue
cumbed to the disease or efforts of the
poisoner. The first symptoms of the
nlalady are the slow paralysis Of the
hind legs which finally creeps over the
animal until he dies. In some cases
the animals have died within a few
minutes of exhibiting signs of the
trouble In the opinion of a large
number of residents the actions which
the unfortunate dogs make tend much
to strengthen the theory that strych-
nine is being used to kill the dogs.

LACK OF CONFIDENCE
Relations OF Huntington With State
Highway Commissioner Well
Defined.
(Ansonia Sentinel.)

The special town meeting called for
Saturday evening. for the expressed
uurpose OF reconsidering and rescind-
fur the action taken at the town
meeting Of February Is. when it was
voted that because Of lack of conf
dencs In the judgment of State High
way Commissioner Macdonald to ex-
perd the money of the people of
Huntington, no appropriation be made
for the Improvement of highways I'M
der the so-called Good Roads" act,
Vas q dismal failure, as very large
majority OF the voters decided to stand
By their former action and not to re-
ocfnd that resolution.
A. r. Smith had read by the clerk
statement printed in Saturdays Sem
Rinel concerning the amount expend-
ed by the town of Huntington since
the year 1886 under the act mentioned
and stated that this meant that over
$500 per mile had been spent by the
town and state for these roads and at
the present time there are but mere
fragments of a half-dozen attempts In
rs many directions leading to no
where to show for the amount expend-
ed He thought this was sufficient
reason for having a lack of faith in
she Judgment of the highway commits
sioner.
o. G. Beard said that the major
part Of the roads constructed under
that act were gOOO ROADS ana ne
thought the money well spent. Mr..
Beard thought that an appropriation
should be made with a proviso at
cached that the. money so appropriat-
eed should be used on a route desig-
mated by the citizens of the town.
A. r. Smith asked how much mon
ey there was remaining from former
appropriations and S. T. Palmer and
b n Beard stated that about $500
was still unexpended. upon which Mr..
Smith said he saw no reason for max
ing any further appropriation.

WHERE SHALL The NEXT

Governor HAIL FROM.
Several requests have come
to this office desireing to-
know where we stood in the
matter of selecting the next
Governor from some certain
section of the state.
So for as this paper is able
to ascertain the people of the
south have given litti'
thought and practically no
expression to the idea of Civ
ing the north the Governor
at the next election.
We believe this proposition
sprang from some Politician
in Boise last summer ana has
been heralded over the state
considerable. Just where
the next Governor. be he Re-
publican or Democrat, should
come from matters but little;
the big thing should be who
is he. what is his character
and ability to perform the
Work in the best possible
maner for the good of the
people of the state. If the
former policy is followed it
will lead to factional or civil
strife and should be discour-
aged.
The aim of both parties
should be to get the best man
possible no matter where he
resides in the state. SO long
as he is prepared to hold the
office and has the qualific'
ations that the Office dema nds,

In order to share in the
growth and prosperity that
is sure to come to Idaho tins
year the people OF Cassia
County should make some
needed preparation to get
what is within easy reach in
the way of attracting home

successfully do what a county
organization can do.
The Commercial bodies are
the proper one to take this
work up. Some splendid
work has been done by the
state that is sure to result in
heavy immigration to the
west and this section should
join together to reap her
portion All towns in the
county should get together,
and particularly those in this
valley. With Oakley at one
end and Burley at the other

Of this section should receive
proper place among the list
In advertising this county
no sand hills and lava beds
need act as barriers for we
have none such.
Everything is of such a

strongest possible commend

the splendid things around

the matter. We need others
