ANOTHER NEVADA RAILROAD
VIII be Built According to
Caldwell, Idaho, News
paper.

Il now begins to look as though
the projected road from Cald
we'll 10 Winnemucca was to be q
reality.
In the face of setbacks that would
have long since discouraged any ten
men in the city Col. e. s. Place has
steadily pushed on in his dream OF
north-and-south railroad for Cald-
well until at last the project bids
fair to be realized and the road real
ly built.
The Colonel, who is general man
ager of the Winnemucca Northern,
Is IN the city on business OF the road.
Tuesday afternoon he met about a
hundred of the most prominent bu-
slness men of the city in the rooms
Of the Commercial club and made an
address in which he reviewed the
work done and the plans for the fu-
tafe
Il was conceded that Col. Place
viii have 10 trouble at all In being
net haif way by the business men
of Caldwell, and the small condition
he stipnlates will be disposed OF in
snort order. This being the case.
actual construction will be begun on
The road March /, 1913, and trains
viii be running by March /, 1915.
What this means TO Caldwell and
this community is hard to realize.
Countless thousands Of acres or vir-
gin land viii be opened up and peop-
led by ranchers from the east
Whole mountains of low-grade ore,
which is now worthless because Of
inadequate railroad facilities, will
be placed IN touch with markets,
and will be mined. Competition will
be established in the railroad line,
and hundreds of miles saved In the
trip TO San Francisco. This fact.
when We reeolleet that the same
year viii mark the formal opening
Of the great Panama canal, brings
home 10 the merchant and the con-
Bnmer alike, the tale OF cheaper
transportation rates--a lowering in
the cost of living.
Eight years ago Col. Place had
practically financed the proposition
and was about to begin building op-
cations when the panic swept away
all chances of success. In order to
protect the local stockholders that
had rallied to the support of the
colonels scheme, Mr.. Place felt
obliged to sell the road to the Ore
ron Short Line. All those that had
Invested In stock received dollar for
dollar for their investment, not one
losing a single cent. This record I
viii now stand Col. Place in good
stead.
Another netting between Col
Place and the business men of Cald-
well will take place Friday evening
when the matter will be gone into
more fully than was possible at the
meeting Tuesday.
From what the Tribune was able
to gather from the plans made pub
lie, the road will in all probability
be built. unless a panic similar to
that which previously played havoc
with the road Is to be duplicated. At
all events. the outlook for the road
vas never brighter.-Caldwell, Ida.

HE is WAvERINC.
Delegate Moore May Not Stay
With Roosevelt.
Admits He May Vote for An
other Candidate.

Carl Moore, of Kinsley, and J. S.
George of Hutchinson, Seventh district
delegates to the national convention at
Chicago, spent the day in Topeka en-
route to Kansas City from which point
the Kansas delegation will leave in
body tonight for the convention. Mr..
Moore, when asked if he would STAY
with Roosevelt to a finish, replied that
he was for the colonel and had been
instructed for him in the bargain, but
he did not know about staying to the
finish. However. he was sure that he
would oppose Taft to a finish. He said
he had been instructed by the Seventh
district convention to vote for Roose-
welt, but further his instructions said
not.
He was very bitter over the action
of the national committee in it's de-
cision in a half dozen contest cases
where the delegates had, in Moore's
opinion, been wrongfully taken away
from Roosevelt and Taft delegates
seated who had not a shadow of
claim to the seats.
The latest news from Chicago is tic
the effect that the Roosevelt leaders
are counting on the Kansas delegates
to go any length. The Seventh district
delegates, however, appear to be non
committal on this subject.

TAFT'S SECOND CHOICE
In Case of Defeat 1t Would Be Root
or Fairbanks.

Washington, June 14-Friends of
the president here said if he weer not
nominated he decidedly would oppose
either Senator Cummins or Senator
LaFollette, as compromise candidates.
The presidents DIGESTION. his friends
said, would be based on their attitude
toward the courts and the recall of
judges and decisions.
Some of Mr.. Tafts friends said if
he were confronted with the necessity
of naming his preference for a COM
promise candidate, they believed he
would turn to some man like Senator
Root of New York or former Vice
President Fairbanks of Indiana. 1t
has become known that Fairbanks is
the presidents choice for chairman of
the committee on resolutions.

test Won by President.
Heney Says Abe Reuf Would
Be Ashamed to Do 1T.

Chicago. June 14-The two delegates
from the Ninth Tennessee were seated
| by the national committee. Roosevelt
members voted mo" No roll call. A
| substitute motion to seat the Roose-
welt delegates was defeated. Roll call
was refused.
H. B. Lindsay declared the Roose-
| welt delegates represented the regular
| faction, that had been recognized four
years ago by the Republican national
convention. He said Congressman AUS
tin and his organization had been de-
| feated at that time and that the Re-
publicans in the state had been divided
| ever since.
L. d. Wright, appearing for Taft ad-
herents, asserted the regularity of his
faction was attested by the fact 1T mao
elected it's candidates within the last
four years. He said the Roosevelt con-
testants had been selected at MOE
convention without a chairman or any
regular convention.
In the Ninth Tennessee district an
other Taft-Roosevelt contest was rep
resented The Taft delegates were
John B. Tarrant and James w. Brown,

MARINES ENTRENCHED
Uncle Sans Men Prepare to Resist an
Attack.

Havana, June 14.-The United
States marines stationed at Ell Cobre,
ten miles west of Santiago, have
thrown up entertainments and are well
prepared to resist any attack.
The Cuban gunboat Barre has ar

Surin, noted negro leader, and ten
others. The United States transport
Caesar arrived off Santiago and trans
ferred supplies to the gunboat Pa
ducah for the marines stationed in

Sorriano reports that the conditions
there are most serious. More than
1000 persons have taken refuge in the
town where they are sleeping in the
streets and are absolutely destitute.
The conditions, according to the
mayor, recall the horrors of the recon
eentrado days when General Weyler
was endeavoring to crush the Cuban
revolution.
