COURAGING NEWS.
Supposedly Authentic Statement Of
Building Into Idaho Falls Without
Foundation.

The following letter written to the
Chicago, Northwestern Railway Off
Gals and the reply from the head of
traffic and maintenance of that road
do not add very much enthuiasm to
the boosting spirit of this section
which sincerely hoped that Idaho
Falls was to be benefited at least by
another railroad
March 18th, 1914
Mr.. R. H. Ashton, Vice President Chi
cago & Northwestern R. R. Com
pany, Chicago, Illinois.
Dear Sir Since my short visit with
you while in Chicago three weeks ago,
have noticed in the newspapers re-
ports as to the building by the G. & N.
w. R. r. Co, of line from Lander,
Wyoming, to Idaho Falls, Idaho, and
these reports are SO persistent and
definite in their statements that our
people believe them to be true.
Our Commercial club has been eau
tious in giving out news concerning
prospective developments of our ter
ritory and has always endeavored to
verify rumors before giving them our
endorsement and following this policy,
again bring to your notice the sub
ject of our former communications to
make inquiry whether there is truth
in the reports referred to.
Some of these publications are
shown by the clippings enclose. We
feel that If the railroad should be built
into the Snake River Valley, it will
be of great benefit to the Twin Falls
county and it would be source of
or ore f1 ho+ ho
building of such line is one of the
things of the near future.
If there is anything of encourage
ment to be added to what you have al
ready said to me by letter and In per-
son, l would be very glad to have it
made authentic by your reply.
With my personal regards, am,
Yours very truly,
M. J. Sweeley,
Pres. Twin Falls Commercial Club
March "a, 1914
My dear SIR
Acknowledging receipt of yours of
the seventeenth enclosing newspaper
reports as to the building by COM
pany of line Lander to Idaho Falls,
Idaho. There is absolutely not a
word OF truth In any of these reports.
Our Company has no present plans or
intentions regarding any extension in
that territory.
The reports were probably started
through contract recently made for
some Wyoming ties to be floated down
Wind River to a point on our line from
which point they are to be taken out
and used In our regular track main
tenance work.
With kind personal regards.
Yours truly,
R. H. Ashton.

dlately available, and considerable

Idaho, will have direct charge of the
distribution of the Idaho appropria-

Will greatly appreciate any assist
ance you can give us in securing ex-

largest producers of hogs in state, and

perimental work.
Twin Falls Commercial Club.
M. J. SWEELEY, President.
An effort was made last year to call
an extra session of the legislature to
make an appropriation of 100000 to
stamp out the hog cholera in this
state, but the proposition was turned
down because of the expense attach
ed to calling an extra session. When
the matter was taken up in congress
and the appropriation made, the diff
ficu1ty for Idaho was greatly simpli-
fled.

Among the articles in the collection
is copy OF the Star and Banner is
sued July ., 1868, at Gettysburg, Pa,
the first newspaper published at that
place after the great battle OF Gettys-
burg. The inside OF the paper bears
the date July 2. 1863. but the editor
explains that it was not issued on
that date, as the rebels were in charge
of the Office. The collection includes
bullets, military paraphernalia, hymn
books. diaries and many other things
which now are OF great value.
Mrs. Mcclellan was born and rails
ed at Gettysburg and the family res.
idence was situated between the reb-
ell and federal lines. Her sister,
Jennie Wade, was killed in the home
by bullet, while she was baking
bread for the federal soldiers.

years
He was a devoted husband and 4
kind father and ever ready to make
any sacrifice for those he loved. He
was courteous not only with his family
but the same with his neighbors and
all with whom he came in contact.
He performed his duty to his God, his
family. his country, his lodge, his
neighbors ana himself His best
monument will be the good report
that he has left behind him in the

They seem to have the railroads

have been seriously damaged during
the battles Of August and September.
Troops are being transported over

train after train OF wounded is being
taken back to Germany. In the

the men have not the protection OF

have on the Aisne the losses must be

Deloit. Oct. 19.-(Special to the Re-
yiew)-Deloit and immediate vicinity
seems to be furnishing it's share of
auto accidents and only last Saturday
evening another one occurred, which
might easily have resulted in the
death of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Barrett,
who live south OF Denison.
H. Burglund, prominent farmer
residing north of this place was leav-
ing in his auto for his home after do
ing some trading and had some trou-
bic with his lights the prestolight
tank being out of order. AS he went
over the culvert near Stanley Browns
the headlights went out leaving them
only with the two oil lamps. Mr. and
Mrs. Barrett with a team and single
buggy were just coming into town
and Mr.. Burgund not being able to
see on account of the lights being
out drove into the buggy. The acci-
dent occurred in front of where Will
liam Cook lives.
Mr.. and Mrs. Barrett We're thrown
from the buggy. Mrs. Barrett sus-
tanned number of bad bruises while
her husband was more fortunate. In
endeavcring to hold the horses he was
dragged for considerable distance
but was not hurt in the least. Mrs
Barrett was taken to the home of her
Mrs. G. S. Jordan where she
was cared for.
The buggy was more or less jamb.
ed up and was Grated up and shipped
by freight to Denison where it will
be repaired at the expense of Mr..
Burglund. Mr.. Barrett says that Mr..
Burglund stopped and assisted him
in every way possible and was GER
tainly gentleman about it and he
feels that the whole thing occurred
because OF a mishap to the lights and
not on account of any carelessness on
Mr.. Burglnud's part.
