SHORT LINE IMPROVEMENTS.
Work to Commence at once on the
Erection of Coalin9 Facilities
at this Point.

1t has been some time since the an
nouncement was made in these columns
that the Short Line would erect extens-
I've coaling facilities at Jerome At that
time 1t was announced by the manage
ment OF the road that a. soon a. coal and
water facilities were arranged for. we

may look for some new arrangements in
the train service in the near future.
On Tuesday, Mr.. NJ Buley, who will
have charge OF the work, arrived here
from Huntington, where he has lust fin
ished the erection OF coaling station.
He was accompanied by Mr.. Geo. Wilson
who is also an experienced man in this
work. Both gentlemen were accompa-
MED by their families and will make
their home here during the progress Of
the work.
The coal shed at this point will have a
capacity OF 25O tons, and will be built OF
steel under the latest and most improved
pattern. Perhaps the word shed is not
proper to Use in this connection. as the
station consists of large steel cylinder
10 feet in diameter towering 20 feet high.
with an excavation OF at least 20 feet
below it. The coal is unloaded from the
cars into hoppers, and is conveyed in
these 10 the top OF the cylinder, where

agent and J. A. Reeves, general

Sunday and went out to Hollister
and Rogerson on a business tour
over the branch. Information was
given out Monday by Mr.. Bancroft,
stating positively that the Oregon
Short Line will build south to con-
meet with the Southern Pacific this
year, and that work will begin in
short time.
Still further confirmation of the
intention Of the Short Line railroad
to build south to the Central Pacific
through Contact, was brought TO this
city by Willet Hance of the Lincoln
Produce & Refrigerating company,
as the result of his visit to Salt Lake
City. Information was given Mr..
Hance in the Office of General Man
ager Bancroft that the line would
be pushed through this year and
that within a short time work would
be begun. Several things have pre-

PURE DRINKING WATER.
State Board of Health Investigating
Conditions in Some OF the
Surrounding Towns.

We doubt ii the people OF Jerome, and
in fact all over the North Side tract.
fully appreciate the blessings they re-
ceive in being able TO secure the purest
drinking water obtainable. This is a
most important factor in the health OF
a community, and how often is il over
looked. Localities surrounding us are
visited with "a typhoid fever epidemic
about so often, due to great extent by
much OF it being taken from the irrigat-
ing bitches, and in some instances with
ont even being filtered.
Not only are there various wells scat
tered over the tract, pouring forth the
purest of water, but the citizens OF
Jerome and Wendell are supplied from
deep wells, free from any contaminatinl
substances whatever, which has much t,
do with the healthy condition of thcse
communities. Pure drinking water

II. +. Patterson, superintendent
of the Better Farming Association
of the Twentieth Century Farmer, is
in receipt of a letter from a farmer,
living in the homestead section of
South Dakota, in which he says
that there were fourteen carloads of
stock, household effects, together
with the owners that left his part of
the country for Canada since March
|, 1913. He stated that the news
papers were not publishing this fact
but that it was the truth, neverthe-
less. One of the reasons given for
these people leaving the country
was that the farmers were compel
led to pay a very high rate of inter-
est. He believed that two-thirds of
the people that left were forced to
leave because of the high interest
rates. In concluding his letter he
stated High rates of interest drive
more settlers out of South Dakota
than the drouth. "

GOOD ROADS DISTRICTS.

The agitation has been commence
ed in some counties of the state to
form a highway district of the entire
county, and the reasons leading up
to this agitation would apply To
Lincoln county as we'll, as the pres
ent boundary lines of this county
would permit of no consolidated
road district to good advantage. In
the arguments being presented by
an adjoining county in favor OF this
proposition, il is stated that under
a so-called good roads law passed
last winter, owners Of autos pay to
the state in lieu Of other taxes and
license a fee of S1.0O per rated
horsepower of their machines, tn,
limit being $40. The fund thus
created is administered by the stat,
highway commission.
Counties in which good roads dis
tricts are formed can secure a re
fund from the state of IS per cen
of the amount paid into the stat,
treasury as auto license, the none,
to be used only to pay interest ol
bonds issued to construct roads. II
other words the law robs the coun
ties of some of its revenue and offer
part of it back, on condition tha
the people go in debt to build GOO,
roads.
OF course there are argument
against as well rs for this PROPOSE
ton, but it is timely matter 70
discussion, and we would he glad t
see it taken up. and our column
are open to articles touching upol
this matter.

A Washington dispatch says that
every government irrigation project
in the west will be affected by the
decision Of the supreme court, in a
case recently argued, and involving
the right of the reclamation service
to make an annual charge against
settlers on account Of the mainten-
ance of their works, after water is
available. The suit in question does
not assail the constitutionality of
the reclamation law, nor does it
question the right of the govern
ment to recover from the settlers
the actual cost Of building the vari-
Gus projects, but involves simply
the one question as to the validity
of the maintenance charge.
The Baker case is important to
every western state, for upon the
decision of the supreme court will
hinge the validity or illegality OF
maintenance charges collected in
the past, and assessed this year. II
the court sustains the Baker con-
tention, the reclamation service will
be without authority in the future
u assess and collect maintenance
charges, and it is probable that
such charges collected in the past
may have to be refunded. 70 date,
the reclamation service has collected
about $500, 900 in maintenance
charges on all projects, and the col
lections have increased gradually
until now they amount To 500, ,0Ot
a year, and will he still larger as
the projects are expended and
settled.
Should the supreme court sustain
the lower courts in the Baker case
steps will have to he taken by tn,
reclamation service to annul al
maintenance charges, and tn,
moneys turned back into the recla
nation fund every year will b
diminished by the amount of half
million dollars and there will be
further depletion Of nearly milliol
dollars if a refund of previou
charges is ordered. This will hav
the effect of checking work ON man,
government projects, although
there is still on hand that specia
fund of 500, ,OOO, 600 raised unde
the Borah bond issue, which ha
never been used, though availabl
for more than two years.

the means of Mr.. Humphrey bring
ing several new families to the tract
this spring. Can our chronic kickcrs
about publicity" show any such
results?
Unlike some of our contemporar-
les it has not been the policy of the
Times to invite people here under
misapprehensions. There was too
much Of this kind of publicity at
the start, and AZ a result many set
tiers became dissatisfied after being
here a short time. BY chronicling
the achievements OF the association
from time to time, and the fact that
the settlers are receiving rghtful
recognition by the land board and
the courts, it tends to inspire conf
dence not only in the settlers now
on the tract but their friends who are
wistfully looking to this section. If
every paper in the state would adopt
the same publicity policy as pursued
by the Times it would not be long
before the irrigation companies
would find that they would have to
live up to their contracts if they eX-
pected To do business in the state
instead of relying on their influence
to control courts and land boards
The Times has probably a. much
interest in building up this section
of Idaho as has some of its censurers,
but it has no incentive to misrepre-
sent matters TO its readers in other
states, and az fast as the various
questions in dispute are settled, il
will give us pleasure to announce it
Now that our water supply has beer
ad justed, we can say 10 our eastern
friends, come in the waters fine.

Conditions on the tract this spring
are probably more encouraging
than at any time since the opening.
The final adjustment Of the water
problem has inspired confidence in
the minds of the settlers on this
point at least, as they can now feel
assured Of an abundant supply Of
water. There are still some mat
tiers that need adjustment which
would materially aid in the pros
perity of the tract, and the company
have il in their power to bring
about this condition if they are SO
disposed. We have reference par
ticularly to the extension of pay
ments which should he brought
about without forcing the settlers
into too great sacrifice. We hear
it rumored that the general manager
of the company is arranging to take
this matter up with the individual
settler, rather than to recognize the
association. No one has any objec-
ton to this, but he will find very
few individual settlers who are will
ing to sign any such agreement as
was presented to the association
some time ago. We do not feel
that the company would be making
any great concessions to the settlers
in extending these payments. As a
rule the settlers are willing to pay
a higher rate of interest on these
extensions, which under general
conditions would be an incentive to
money lenders. 1t has been gen.
orally conceded by irrigation COM
panies and others who have given
the matter any study that il is next
to impossible for n settler to come
on to this new land and expect tC
realize enough to make his pay.
ments and carry on his develop
ment work for a few years at least
Then why delay the extension O
payments. With this one matter
adjusted. every settler on the trac
would become n booster, and pros
perity would become rampant
