TWO new COUNTIES IN DILEMMA
Decision May Result In Notification Of
Act Creating Minid0ka County.

The decision handed down late yes.
terday by Judge Dietrich holding that
reclaimed lands held by settlers can
not be taxed by the state until title
passes from the government to the set
tiers, promises to be far reaching in
its effects, as the decision is under
stood and interpreted by persons con-
versant with the situation.
1t promises to nullify the creation
of Minidoka county by the state legis-
lature, and, inferentially, to nullify
the creation of Gooding county, if the
same rule applies to Carey act lands
which, it is said, should follow natur-
ally.
The case was one brought by the
government against the county asses
sor and other officials of the old Lin
coin county to restrain them from at
tempting to collect taxes upon lands
under the Minidoka project. Judge
Dietrich held that so long as title to
the land remains in the government,
which is the case of course until final
payment for water rights is made, it is
not subject to taxation by the state.
The principal part of the wealth of
M1nidoka county, one of the new coun-
''SS NiSu'Su out VI l-luIOlu ny LlS last
legislature, is said to be government
lands so taxed and that if this valua-
ton should be annulled the district
would not have a valuation sufficient
to comply with constitutional provi-
sion of this state relative to the crea-
ton of new counties.
Likewise the chief taxable valua-
ton of Gooding county is Carey act
lands, the title to which remains still
in the government, and If the same
rule laid down by Judge Dietrich in
the Minidoka case applies to these
Carey act lands, it is possible that
Gooding county, which was also Great
ed at the last session of the legisla-
ture out of Lincoln county, may be
declared invalid.
Judge Dietrich did not pass upon the
question as to whether or not i'm
placed upon lands, title to
which is in the government, may be
taxed in the name of the settler, the
record of the case not being clear as to
this point 1t is held by some that if
the court should hold that improve
ments may be taxed in the name of
the settler. sufficient values may thus
be found in both Minidoka and Good
ing counties to comply with the con-
stitutional requirement of this state
as to the minimum valuation required
for new county to have.-Capital

AUTOS IN PARK
War Department Grants Permission to
Motorists to Use Roads.

Washington, July 15.-After a ten
year contest, the government has
granted permission for automobiles to
enter Yellowstone park, and officers
now are working to widen the ap-
proaches to the loop" which consti-
tutes the main thoroughfare through
the park.
AS the work is being done under the
direction of the war department., Sec
rotary Garrison will visit the park in
connection with his forthcoming trip
OF inspection of western army posts.
The approaches, which are to be wild
ened are those leading to the 'loop"
from the south, east and west. From
the loop" the tourists will transfer to
the carriages which traverse the park.
Congress has not yet considered the
advisability of allowing automobiles
to enter the loop'-Pocatello Tri-

CAR SHORTAGE FEARED
Shippers and Railroads Should Co.
operate in Loading and Unloading.

With the usual rush of business in
cident to this period of the year, the
| railroads are seeming trouble ahead
in the form OF shortage of cars.
In anticipation of this the railroads
have repaired and added to their
equipment, but it is the fear of those
in charge of railway operation that
this alone will not suffice and to
avoid serious delays and congestion
the shippers and the railroads must
actively cooperate.
Delay on the part of shippers in
loading and unloading cars is often
the direct cause of the carriers in
ability to furnish cars whereas if the
shippers would load and unload
promptly and when consistant load
cars to their rated capacity difficulties
incident to rush of business would, it
is believed, be approximately relieved
The solution of the problem appears
to be cooperation, prompt loading and
unloading by the shipper and prompt
movement and delivery of cars by the
railroads. With this end in view last
year the California railroad commits
sion as well as the railway commits
sion of Oregon and several other
states took cognizance of conditions
and with the hearty support of many
trade and commercial organizations
developed spirit of cooperation be-
tween the shippers and the railroads
which very substantially relieved the
situation and heavy movement of
traffic resulted without serious delay
of congestion anywhere. The plan
gave such general satisfaction that in
all probability it will soon be a mu-
tual, permanent working arrangement
Present indications are that in the
near future demand for cars will be
very heavy and even with large sup
ply of equipment in serviceable condi-
ton to prevent delay and congestion
in supplying and moving cars active
cooperation between the carriers and
the shippers must obtain.

WILL LOSE ITS IDENTITY
Western Pacific to Pass Under the
Control Of the d. & r, G.,

San Francisco.-The Western Paci
Tic railway, the Gould outlet to the
Pacific coast, is to lose its identity as
managerial unit and pass under the
control of the Denver & Rio Grande
thus establishing through the Missouri
Pacific, one management for Gould
roads west of the Mississippi river. ac-
cording to announcement made here
today.
Correspondence given out at the Of
fices of the Western Pacific, together
with an official statement, shows that
e. T. Jeffrey, president of the road,
retires, and is made chairman of the
board of directors, and e. H. Schlacks,
vice president, who has been in imme-
date control, resigns from his posi-
ton and also from the directorate of
the Denver & Rio Grande. B. f. Bush,
president of the latter road, is to be-
come president of the Western Pacific,
and it is reported that he will have
charge of all the western Gould lines.
Probably E. l.. Brown, vice president
and general manager Of the Denver e.
Rio Grande, will be moved from Dem
yer to San Francisco to run the West
ern Pacific, and locally it is hoped that
President Bush's headquarters will be
here.

$S,o0o,ooo COKE PRODUCTION
Value Of Illinois Output for 1912 In.
creases by Nearly I2,OOO,OOO.

The production of coke in Illinois in
1912 amounted to 1,764,9 short tons
valued at $S,69,903, aginst 1,610,212
tons, valued at $6,390,251, in 1911. &C.
cording to e. w. Parker, of the United
States Geological Survey. The aver
age value per ton advanced from 1897
to S4.57. In spite of the increase in
production Illinois dropped from
fourth to fifth place in rank among
the states because of the much larger
increase in Indiana that followed the
putting in blast of the entire plant of
$50 Koppers ovens at the United States
Steel Corporation at Gary, which adj
vanced that state from sixth to third
place.
All the coke produced in Illinois in
1911 and 1912 was made in retort
ovens, much of the coal being drawn
from West Virginia mines; no beehive
coke was produced in the state. IN
some Of the ovens the charge consists
of mixture of West Virginia and IL
linois Goals in the proportions OF to
l. This has been found to make an
entirely satisfactory coke. There were
four retort plants, with a total of SOS
ovens in operation in 1912. One of
these plants consisted of 24O Semet-
Solvay ovens, operated by the By-pro-
ducts Coke Corporation at South Chi
caSo. The plant has been enlarged
three times, the latest addition of 40
ovens being completed in 1912.
Thirteen of the same kind of ovens
were operated by the North Shore Gas
Co., at Waukegan, having been COM
pleted in 1912 These ovens are heat
ed by producer gas made from the
coke. All the retort gas goes to the
city mains.
A plant of $50 Koppers ovens was
operated by the Illinois Steel Co., at
Joliet, built in 1908 and 1909, and an
other of 50 by the Coal Products Man
Co., also at Joliet, COM
pleted in 1912. The surplus gas from
the former is used at the steel plant
and that from the latter is furnished
to the city mains.
Forty Semet-Solvay ovens were also
under construction.

GLACIERS OF ALASKAN COAST
Some Are Retreating But Many Are
Growing Larger.

IL is very probable that more Amer
lean travellers are familiar with the
| picturesque fiords and glaciers OF
Scandinavia than have viewed the in
comparable scenery afforded by the
coast OF their own Alaska, where the
somber inlets are bounded by sheer
and towering cliffs and where the
great fields of slowmoving snow-ice
| lose themselves in some bay or inlet
or pitch Off suddenly into the ocean
itself. The stream of visitors to this
splendid American scenery is annually
increasing in numbers, and to those
who indorse the See America First
program Alaska offers a magnificent
| field.
| Alaska glaciers were probably first
known as the result of Captain Cooks
and Admiral Vancouver's explorations
in l7TS and 1894, some of the maps of
the early voyages showing that GER
tain of the bays or fiords were ended
by vertical walls of ice from which
blocks fell into the sea. In more re-
cent years discussions of these huge
glaciers have been given in the re-
ports of Dali, Gilbert Tarr, Brooks,
Grant, Mendenhall, Martin and others,
OF the United States Geological Sur
vey, and in the publications of such
organizations as the National Geogra-
phic society and the Hartman Alaska
expedition.
The most recent contribution on the
great glaciers of Alaska is Bulletin 526
of the United States Geological Sur
vey, "Coasted Glaciers of Prince Will
liam Sound and kenai Peninsula, AL
aska,' by u. S. Grant and d. f. Hig-
gins. The report is profusely illus
trated with photographs and with
maps of the individual glaciers, as
well as two comprehensive maps of
Prince William Sound and the south
western part of Kenai Peninsula,
showing the location of scores of gla-
ciers. The report is in fact a guide
and handbook to this wonderful scenic
region which must prove invaluable to |
the tourist. !
Many valuable data and important
measurements of glaciers in the Unit
ed States, Alaska, and elsewhere have
been brought together from time to
time, and it is probably the general |
impression that since the vast ice
sheet which covered the northern part
of North America began it's retreat the |
glaciers of the continent have been |
continually shrinking. 1t is therefore |
interesting to note from the illustra-
lions and descriptions in Bulletin 526
that some of these Alaskan glaciers
are progressing and growing larger

MOVE FOR GOVERNMENT AID
{. NJ. Booth Proposes Plan for Fin
ancing Bruneau Tract.

Movements are on foot to have thu
great Bruneau project revert back t
the federal government for the pur.
pose of having it worked out by the
reclamation service. If this is done
the Carey act segregation will be can.
celled and the contract with the state
set aside.
G. M. Booth of Twin Falls, while in
the city on business asserted that pc
titions were ready for circulation in
Twin Falls and the surrounding com
munities asking that this move be
made at once. These petitions" he
said, will be circulated in Boise and
in all other interested points in south
ern Idaho. The men interested in
this movement mean business. They
feel that the development of the Bru-
neau project means so much to the
state that no time should be wasted. y
This proposed Bruneau project is
considered one of the largest ever I'M
dertaken in this country. 1t en-
braces practically 100000 acres of
the finest agricultural land to be
found The cost of the project, in
Guiding complete water system, is
placed at $21,000,000. The system in
cludes a great reservoir taking in a
portion of the city of American Falls.
Kuhn brothers have already spent a
large sum of money on this enterprise.
Just how they would be REIMBURSED
and just what course would bepursued
to have the project transferred to the
federal government is not yet explain
ed.
Governor Haines, in discussing this
matter briefly on Tuesday, said that
the matter had not been presented in
any form to the state land board al
though he said he had heard it dis
cussed. He said he knew also that
the matter of the cancellation of the
segregation had been discussed in
Governor Haines is not satisfied
that there is need for the develop
ment Of the Bruneau project at this
time
1T seems to me-" he said, chat the
greatest need in this state is good set
tiers on the irrigation projects we al
ready have. / am told that there are

on the projects we have in operation
