THE RATE HEARING
Emmett Will Benefit from Whatever
Reductions Are Granted

The hearing on the logging rate on
the Pin and Idaho Northern railroads
was concluded last week. AS the
Boise contingent was given 45 days
in which to file their brief and the
railroads were given 25 days in which
to answer, this means the middle of
September before the case will be
fully presented and the order of the
commission will not likely be made
much before the first of the year.
The Capital News takes a good
deal of JUNCTION to itself in the result
of the case. 1t is entitled to none
The testimony introduced plainly
showed that that paper and Boise had
nothing but selfish purpose, in which
it was hoped that Boise would be The
gamer to the detriment of the towns
on the two railroads mentioned. The
Short Line justly contended that the
logical place to manufacture the tim
Der into lumber was at the towns a.
long the branch lines and that the
only just rate was proportionate
one, according to distance.
Emmett will undoubtedly profit by
whatever rate reductions are made,
and the outlook for the location of
one or more big sawmiils at this place
are decidedly promising. There is no
reason why Boise should me1opalize
all the lumber business of southern
Idaho, especially since the logs would
have to be hauled off the main line
and the lumber hauled back again
in order to give Boise the monopoly
she is seeking.

DAILY TRAINS TO THE
LAKES
Service viii Go Into Effect on
Sunday, July 19-Large
Tourist Travel Expected.

Station Agent Ed Shaw on Satur-
day received official notice from the
Short Line offices at Salt Lake that,
beginning Sunday, June 10, daily
train service will be inaugurated be-
tween the main line and Payette
Lakes.
The schedule is as follows: Boise
1:3O p. M, Nampa 2:20, Middleton
2:4O, Emmett $3.50, Montour 4:05,
Horseshoe Bend AIS, Smiths
Ferry GAO, Cascade 7:30, Donnelly
$40, Norwood 8:25, arrive at Lake
port p. m. Return train each day
will leave Lakeport at a. m, Donnel-
" 7:45, Cascade 8:25, Horseshoe Bend
11:2O, Montour 11:40, Emmett 1915,
Middleton 1905, Nampa 1:30, Boise
2:15 p. m.
In addition, regular train will be
operated between Nampa and Horse
shoe Bend, but no schedule has yet
been received.
The opening of this new road opens
to the public one of the most scenic
routes in the West and a summer re-
sort at the lakes of especial beauty
and desirability. The Short Line will
at once engage in an extensive adver-
tising campaign to bring tourists to
the lakes. The route passes through
a portion of Emmett's fruit section
a sight in itself worth going many
miles to see-and as the trains ascend
the grade to Black Canyon magnifi-
cent view of the entire Emmett val
ley will be spread before the trav-
elers.

emmett WOMAN IN
TRAIN ROBBERY
Mrs. Bent Witnesses Killing of
Bandit-Binds Up Wounds
of Officer

The news has just leaked out that
Mrs. c. L. Bent was passenger on
the o. w. R. & N. train that was held
up by two bandits near Pendleton,
Ore, July 2, witnessed the killing of
one of the robbers by the deputy sher-
iff, who was in turn wounded, and
with her own hands bound up the
wounds of the officer.
Mrs. Bent was ON her way to Moab,
Wash.,to visit her father when the
robbery occurred. She was occupying
the chair car, of which George Duffy,
a deputy sheriff of Heppner, Ore, was
the only male occupant, the other
passengers being women. The two rob
bers, their faces hidden by masks,
came into the chair car with drawn
revolvers, and ordered the passengers
to hand over their valuables. But up
on discovering that with one exception
all were women, they decided to pass
them up and were about to pass in
to the next car, when the deputy
sheriff drew his revolver and shot
down one of the robbers. AS he fell,
he shouted to his companion that he
was done for and to save himself. At
the same time he turned upon the
sheriff and shot. The ball struck the
officer above the heart, but was slowed
down by pocket comb in his vest
pocket.
AS soon as the excitement had died
down, the condition of the wounded
officer was discovered, and of all the
passengers, Mrs. Bent was the only
one who had presence of mind and grit
enough to go to his assistance. Stand
ing in pool of blood, she dressed his
wound and made him as comfortable
as possible until medical attention
could be secured.
