STEEL FLUMES
ARE HERE
First CaI1nsd for Canyon Canal Ar
riyes This Week.

Ftty-four hundred feet of the
wooden fumes on the Canyon can.
al Will be replaced this winter by
steel fumes. The first carload OF
materia; for this purpose arrived
Tuesday and another carload is ex-
pected in few days. The work
of tearing out the old fumes and
building supl orts for the new ores
has beer under way for sonnet me,
ander the erection of Frank
Berry. A carload will make about
1900 feet. Only two wooden fl m S
--1500 feet-will remain when the
work is completed and tn Sc are in
good condition
In addition, every waste way
IN the canal, composed of wood,
mas been replaced by concrete.
The south side is nearly COM
pleted. This consisted of cutting
down the 1000 feet of flume to
5000 and using the material TO
double the capacity of tie re-
naming fumes. The fumes taken
out have been replaced by earth
work. The reconstruction work
will continue until spring, and
will place the system in fl st
class condition.

ap rapidly and the people there de-
sire to trade with Emmett mer-
chants, but they refuse to pull over
NE Freezeout grade. The busins SIS

without delay and put the new
road through.

AGRICULTURAL INSTITUTE EXHIBIT

oats, barley and potatoes, and
anybody having anything worth
exhibiting of this sort is invited to
bring it in.
POTATOES.
Some varieties Of potatoes seem
to succeed here better them others,
and the selection of seed potatoes
is matter of great Importance
also to anyone who means to con-
tinue the business. So if you
have any real nice potatoes, and
will have any seed for sale, please
bring in an exhibit.
FRUIT
Exhibits of boxed apples or
apples on plates or fruit of any
kind, fresh CIR in cans,or any farm
u orchard poduct will be in or
der and help to make the Institute
educational and interesting.
The exhibits will be made in
,he auditorium of the High school
where they will be safely cared for
and in no danger of freezing.

CORN
The committee appointed to gel
Ip an exhibit at the Farmers In
stitute next week suggest that
those who have raised corn this
year and expect to do so next, sell
ect several ears OF corn, each, such
as they consider best for seed,
and exhibit at the Institute 1t
will be a valuable lesson to have
the corn experts pass on these ex-
h!bits, and attach a score card
to each. giving the merits and
Iemerits of each as they decide.
The selection of seed has been
found to be a very important mat
ter and the information thus OBJ
tanned will be worth all it costs
and a great deal more.
Evidently this lesson will be
most impressive and valuable to
those who make exhibits, so please
bring them in-eyery corn raiser
and we will get some benefit
by comparing ideas on this sub
ject, as well as by having our ex
nibits scored by the College ex
perts.

SHORT LINE TAKES OVER
|. N. R. R.
Assumed Management New
Years---To Transfer
Deed Jan. 6.

The Oregon Short Line on New
Years day assumed control and
operation of the Idaho Northern. .The
deed for the transaction has been
executed and the .ormal transfer
OF the property will take place Jan
uary &, 1913. After that date the
Idaho Northern Railway company,
Ltd, VIII cease to exist and the
road will be operated wholly by
the Oregon Short Line.
| The sale of the Idaho Northern
was negotiated some time ago and
the amount paid for the read ard
al Its properties was s735,OO0.
This is exclusive of the extension
of 103 miles now nearing com
| pletion between Emmett and Paw
ette lakes, and covers the line from
Murphy to Nampa and from Nam
pa to Emmett, a total mileage q
9S miles. Including the extension
which is estimated cos $4,000. 600
the Oregon Short Line is taking owe
property TO the aggregate value of
s4, 900 and 144 miles Of rail-
road constituting a branch and
FEEDER or great Importance in the
matter of traffic.
This sale and transfer has given
rise to speculation as to the pro-
bable activity in railroad construc-
tion within the state during the
new year, and according to well
founded rumors current this morn
ing. the purchase of the Dewey
road by the Short Line is but
the forerunner of a period of ac-
tivity in construction that will
ultimately unite north and souht
Idaho by an intra-state road and
may likewise mean the beginning o,
a direct line to San Francis O.
The Oregon Short Line has al
ready graded a line from Caldwell
60 the new townsite o HomedaIe.
on the south bank of the Snake
river, where a junction will be
formed with the Buhl-Nyssa cut
off. Rumor has been current for
some time to the effect that the
Caldwell-Homedale branch was but
a small portion of the projected
line, and persons in a position
to know have declared that the
line will be continued southwest
from Homedale to Winnemucca, Ne
where connection will be made with
the Southern Pacific to Califa-nia
coast points
The purchase CT the Dewey
road is believed to be but another
step in the linking up of a nearly
direct system extending from north
Idaho through this section Of the
state to the southern Pacific coast
The linking of Butte with En-
nett by more direct route than
exists at present is also seen by
many in the purchase of the Dewey
road. 1t is pointed out that the
Idaho Northern has already been
surveyed to the Payette lakes and
all indications point TO the com
pletion Of the line to the lakes
during the present year From Pay
ette lakes water level can be prac-
tically followed all the way 10 the
Montana city.
From a railroad point of view
Emmett enters the new year with

ion it is the strategic point in

Strong Sentiment IN the Senate
Against Starting Consideration
Of the Banking Question. :

Washington, July 26.-Steps are be-
Ing taken in both houses of congress
looking to an adjournment immedi-
ately following the passage of the tar.
iff bill. i .... =.
Leaders of both parties are willing
to quit as soon as the tariff bill is out
OF the way, putting banking legisla.
ton over until the December session.
The Democrats will make no prom
1ses in this regard until they have
ascertained the wishes of President
Wilson. 80;
There is strong sentiment in the
senate against consideration of the
banking question at this time. while
the house leaders have long doubted
the wisdom of attempting such legis-
lation at this time.
Polls are being taken in the house
and the senate to determine the atti.
tude of the membership generally.
They are expected to show that SEN
ators and representatives, regardless
of party, favor an adjournment as
soon as President Wilson has ap.
proved the tariff BILL
The initiative in the negotiations
under way was taken by Republican
leaders in the senate. They suggest.

to an early adjournment, they would
cooperate with view to passing the
tariff bill the last week in August
Democrats said they were agree.
