NEW RAILROAD
IS TO Be BUILT
WILL TAP MINIDOKA TkACi
MAKING A SHORT CtI
hurley TO OGDEN.

According 10 the press dlspatcns
from salt Lake City to the Boise
daiIies construction work on the
Salt City and Idaho railroad VIII
be resumed as soon as the new
agreement with the board of direct
ors is approved by Che board OF
directors, the last objectionable
feature of the contract between
the government and the railroad as
affecting the right-of-way having
been approved. A disagreement
ever right-of-way through the
Minidoka reclamation project caused
the road to abandon construction
several years ago.
The Salt Lake & Idaho Railway
company is a subsidiary corporation
of the Hartman system and when
its line is completed will give to
southern Idaho a short cutoff to
Salt Lake and Ogden, by building
from Salina, Utah, TO Burnley, Idaho,
passing through the rich Raft River
irrigation project and shortening
the distance to Ogden and Salt
Lake from southern Idaho points.
The government brought action
against the Salt Lake &c Idaho TO
prevent interfering with irrigation
bitches on parts of the Minidoka
project and demanded that the road
secure a permit from the secre-
tary of the interior before traveGs-
ing that project. An injunction was
issued out of the federal court for
the jurisdiction of Idaho directed
against the railway company and
construction work was forthwith
stopped on the road. The seere-
tary Of the interior was petitioned
by the settlers along the right-of-
way to allow the building Of the
road to proceed under permit. The
agreement reached between the
secretary of the interior and the
hackers of tn road meeans that
the new southern Idaho railroad
will be pushed to completion.

TROUT FULL OF SPAWN.

Anglers in Wood River, in Spring
Creek slough and elsewhere within
IS miles of HALEY, say that the
season seems as backward with the
trout this spring as it is with vege-
tatiOn.
Wherever any fish are caught
and cleaned long strips of spawn
are rotting on the ground, unless
the eggs are brought home in any
container that can be found
Ex-Sheriff Hart and his two sons
went fishing in the Spring Greek
slough yesterday. In less than half
day they caught 80 lbs. Of trout,
which was all that they wanted.
Some of these trout were 8 or Q
inches long and averaged 212 lbs. in
weight after being dressed. Some
had spawn and it was evident that
they would not be through spawn
ing for two or three weeks.
Sidney johnson caught a rainbow
trout whose eggs filled a baking
powder can. 1t had Just begun to
spawn, as the casing did not break,
despite careless handling.
Last week Victor Floyd, Ben
Storey and two friends fished near
Spring Greek for a day or so. In
cleaning their trout they got gal
lon of spawn.
1t is therefore evident that the
close season is either too short or
70 early-Wood River Times,

BEAVER RIVER
TO INVADE MINES
HALF DOZEN ENTERPRISES Al
HALEY WOULD USE
ELECTRICITY.

According 10 the last issue OF
the Wood River Times of HALEY
the Beaver Riser Power Company
is planning a series of extensive
DEVELOPMENT in the vicinity OF
HALEY, picabo, and Bellevue. If
this be true and the plans for ex-
tension are carried out it will
mean another big link in the vast
scheme Of electrical development
which is fast making Idaho one OF
the greatest of all western states
in electrical usage. The Times
says -
w. d. Alexander, an engineer OF
the Beaver River Power Company
who came here last Monday but left
for Richmond to apply for fran
chise there, returned to Haley last
Saturday, to try to get line upon
the quantity of power that the
company could to sell to the mines
if its line extended to Haley and
Ketchum.
From a preliminary examination
Mr.. Alexander is satisfied that the
Groesus, the Idano Democrat, the
Idahoian- Eureka, the Bullion, the
Red Elephant mines, the Danaher
mill, the Independence, the Noon
day, and probably. the Golden Belt
mines, would take a minimum of
$50 to 300 kilowatt hours power
daily at the outset, with a likeli-
hood of doubling OF trebing within
a short time. The line would not
pay interest on cost if that We're
all the power to be sold; but Mr..
Alexander realizes that, in addi-
ton, many consumers will use the
electric power for energy and for
lighting and heating. Also, that
this region is on the eve of great
development and thatthe demand
for power and light Will surely ex-
pand. SO he will probably make a
favorable report. g
The line to Ketchum and to Bull
lion from Gooding will cost owe
100000 and there will have TO be
at least four sub-statiOns, viz. One
at Richfield, one at PieahO, one at
Bellevue and one at Haley.
If constructed the line will be
completed by this fall

COMMISSION WILL
INVESTIGATE ROAD.

For the purpose Of investigating
the link of road across northern
Idaho in the national highway, the
Idaho state highway commission
adjourned its meeting here Monday
and the commissioners left for the
northern part of the state. Those
in the party were Secretary of
State Clifford, Theodore Turner,
and Professor Little, State Engineer
King will leave Tuesday. A confer
enee will be held at Wallace with
delegates from the northern coun-
ties who will present TO the commits
sion a proposition TO handle $4,000
of the recent bond issue authorized
by the last legislature but which
have not as yet been sold, the
money to be used on the cOnstruc-
ton of the highway.
The commission did not take
definite action on the matter Of
electing a state highway engineer
although it has the power TO 50 do
and can pay a salary of $1,000.
There are a number of applicants
including James Stephenson. Jr.,
and G. o. Scharf. This issue may
be decided while the commission is
in session in the northern part of
the state.
Owing to the fact that the good
roads advocates of the north are
active on the state highway link
for which the recent legislature
passed a $4,000 appropriation
measure that later was vetoed by
the governor, the commission
thought it advisable TO make the
northern trip immediately.-CapitaI

JDAHO's MAMMOTH GAVE.

We have a mammoth cave right
at home. It is three miles in length
and only 20 miles southwesterly
from HALEY and it can be easily
reached by automobiles as wagon
road leads directly to it.
J. c.. Fox and his three sons, DR..
E. w, Russell and Howard and
John Gilman, Jr., visited the cave
yesterday, making the run there
and back in their car. The road
might be better but it is in such
condition that the run can be made
from HALEY in an hour.
The entrance to the cave is at
the base of lave butte and is
merely a hole about fourteen feet
deep by eight feet wide. From
this hole one has to crawl for about
twenty feet under the hanging rock.
The cave then opens into a large
dome shaped passage which ex-
tends back apparently under the
butte for three-fourths Of a mile.
Another low and narrow passage
then opens into a similar dome
shaped room. The cave runs back
southeast for about two miles and
turns abruptly TO the east and ex-
tends for about a mile. The for
nation inside the cave is mostly
lava but this is streaked with white
limestone and in some places it is
entirely of pure white limestone.
The limestone formation may be as
hard as rock, as soft as powder, or
again very brittle. The lava rock
and limestone formation leads one
TO believe that the cave has been
a crater and that all of the lime
stone did not burn out. In the
succeeding ages water, perhaps an
underground river, has made nu-
merous lodges and left a sandy de-
post on the floor. In two places
the roof has evidently fallen leaving
huge lava boulders as obstacles to
visitors.
Men and women DESTROYS OF per-
petuating their names have written
and carved in one of the limestone
grottoes until there is hardly any
space left. There are other and
similar grotOes, however, which will
serve for future generations.
About three miles from the en-
trance to the cave is a track in
the lava from which a current OF
air rushes. 1t is supposed that
this is air which passes thru the
cave for the air inside is pure.
A quarter OF a mile due west is
a smaller and less picturesque cave,
which is evidently the lair of nu-
merous wild animals during the
River Times, HALEY.

Tom Byrne was down from Rich
nond last Saturday.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-11-01

The recent excellent show of dairy
cattle at the Washington State Fair
held at North Yakima is just another
instance of the we'll known but little
appreciated fact, that breeding along
recognized dairy lines is sure to bring
results. Many of the cattle at the
fair we're fine specimens of the differ
ent breeds, and all who saw them
could not but notice that there was
a certain degree of uniformity and
that the owners had the breed type
we'll in mind.
Although the systems of advanced
registry in this country assume that
breed type is in a way associated
with large production, strict adj
herence to the scale of points is not
demanded. Since the ultimate end
of all dairy breeding is large produc-
ton, the efforts of every breeder are
bent in that direction, and this
rather than a certain type of animal
is the thing sought. 1t is a we'll
known fact that the systems of regis
try on the island of Jersey results in
a uniform lot of stock, but in this
country where production is para
mount that feature and not uniform
ity is emphasized.
A little inquiry would have assured
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-11-01
Dairy Cattle at Washington State Fair

one that many of the cattle at the
North Yakima Fair had a record Of
good producing ancestors back of
them, and we're often themselves ami
mails with records of high production.
1t is rule, with few exceptions, that
the larger producing individuals OF
the leading dairy breeds are animals
of uniform conformation, carrying
to marked degree, the breed char
acteristics. Good conformation and
production often go hand in hand.
This combination was noticeable at
the North Yakima Fair.
The breeders had the essential
points we'll in mind when they pre-
sented their stock for exhibition. AS
rule, the best dairy COWS of any of
the breeds are those which scale up
we'll. There are exceptions, but
there must be size to do good work.
A second point is constitution; there
are many good dairy COW lacking in
this respect. and it is unfortunately
feature very often transmitted.
Animals lacking in this respect can
not withstand the demands which
long production of large quantities of
milk makes on the body. Add to
size and constitution large digestive
capacity and the resultant combina-
ton is one that ought to make milk.
A large middle is one of the features
first sought in a COW and is the in
dication that the animal can dispose
of large amount of food. If the
dairy COW is a machine for convert
ing feed into edible products, then
the capacity to do this is paramount
feature. A fourth indication of a
good dairy COW and one that every
thing else hinges on is the large udder
and tortuous milk veins. From the
standpoint of production it is neces-
sary to have sufficient udder capacity
to allow for the secretion of large
amounts of milk. In the production
of large amounts of milk the milk vein
must needs be large to allow for the
transmission of large amounts of blood
from the udder to the heart.
Breeders in Washington have these
features in mind and we can look for
better and better dairy stock at our
future state fairs.

thing l can do to cure the trouble?
Would also be pleased to have few

have Babcock tester and find our
COWS run from A to So per cent. We
are going to get rid of a couple and
try to get four or five more that are

and it is the best $40 worth [ ever
bought.
We hope to build up good herd.
Where can 1 get the proper kind Of
sulphuric acid for testing? L. B. R.
Pasco. Wash.
Answer: The case of garget which
you refer to in your letter is probably
due to bruise of some kind, possibly
due to kick; in some cases this is
caused by not having the animal
properly bedded. We have had SINH
lar cases in our own herd here at the
college. Proper treatment will very
Likely relieve the animal referred to.
The general treatment in such cases
is to draw the milk frequently and give
the udder gentle but rather thorough
rubbing. Battle the affected quarter
wi th hot water, as hot as the hand
can stand it, then rub dry and apply
an ointment made by dissolving two
tablespoonsful of gum camphor in a
teacupful of melted fresh lard. Fresh
lard alone is often good; it should be
applied hot and we'll rubbed in.
In case the udder does not improve,
the disease is of more serious nature
and is due to the invasion OF bacteria
into the milk gland. II this is the
case inject a solution of carbolic acid,
one part to fifty parts of boiled water.
Inject this through the teat with an
apparatus used in the treatment of
milk fever, or with any other device
that you have at hand. Allow this to
act for few minutes and then milk
out.
The fact that you are trying TO build
up good dairy herd is of interest
to US You will find that dairying. if
properly conducted, is one of the
most profitable lines of farming. We
