RAILROAD OUTLOOK
VERY FAVORABLE
L. L. EVANS RETURNED SUNDAY
EVENING FROM EASTERN TRIP
AND BRINGS ENCOURAGING RE-
PORT
Money Scarce for Any New Develop
ment but Prospects for ROckland
Railroad Are Brighter Than Ever
BefOre-May Go This Year.

When asked about the success of
his trip east, L. L. Evans, who has
spent the past six weeks in Chicago,
New York, st. Louis and other east
ern cities trying to interest capitalists
in the Rockland railroad project, stat
ed that he did not have any informa-
tion that is sufficiently definite to be
made public He did not care to raise
any false hopes in the minds of the
people. However, speaking in a gen.
eral way, he said that the outlook for
the project is much brighter than it
has ever been before during the two
or three years that he has worked on
it, 1t is possible that the road may
be built this year, but that will not
be definitely known til Judge Lovett,
head of the Hartman system, returns
from Egypt, which will be about the
middle of April.
All the facts and figures as to ton
mage, distance, prospective develop
ment, ETC., has been made up into a
compact transcript and is now in the
hands of the bonding house, and it is
thought to be a reasonable certainty
that if Mr. Lovett will o. X. the prop
osition, will say that the Rockland
railroad is necessary as a feeder tc
the Short Line, the money will be
forthcoming in time to permit of com
pleting the construction of the road
this year.
General business conditions in the
east, according to Mr.. Evans report
are very good and there is an abund
ance of money seeking for investment
but the investments must be absolute
ly safe and the security ample.
Idaho securities are not looked up
on with favor, a condition very large
Iy due to the fact that so many of tn
irrigation projects in this state hav
failed

CALLED TO ETERNAL REST
Prominent Young Farmer Died Sud-
denly Friday Morning.

Elmer L. Hooker one of the promin-
ent young farmers of the Igo district,
died at his home in this city Friday
night at 9:45 of heart trouble. Death
came very suddenly and without a
moment of warning.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hooker and their
two little baby girls had moved in from
the farm at Igo where they have re-
sided for some time past, in order
that Mr.. Hooker might be nearer
medical aid, he having been a suffer-
er from organic heart trouble and
during the past couple of months had
had a number of bad spells from which
it seemed harder for him to rally each
time. The family had retired for the
night and Mr.. and Mrs. Hooker we're
discussing the arrangement of their
furniture when Mrs. Hooker heard her
husband gasp and struggle. Realiz-
ing that her husband was taken with
a serious attack of heart trouble, Mrs.
Hooker hastily ran to neighbor's for
aid but before anything could be done
for him he had breathed his last.
Mr.. Hooker had been a resident of
American Falls for more than five
years and during that time had won
for himself a prominent place in the
life of the community. He was a mem
ber of the local Odd Fellows lodge and
belonged to the Pocatello Aerie of the
Fraternal Order of Eagles.
Mr. Hooker was a native son Of
Idaho, being born at Moscow. He
came here with his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. H. e. Hooker. five years ago.
About three years ago he married
Pearl Burrell, whom he now leaves
widow with two little girls.
Funeral services we're held in the
Methodist church Sunday afternoon.
G. d. Smith and d. ]. Elrod, represent
ing the Pocatello Eagles, had charge
of the first part of the service, an ora
tion being delivered by Mr.. Smith.
Rev. Cook preached the funeral ser
mon, and music was furnished by the
Methodist Church choir. Many beauti-
full floral offerings, tributes to the
respect in which the deceased was
held, we're in evidence at the church.
Interment was made in the Odd
Fellows cemetery with the ritualistiC
ceremony of that order.

THINKS WELL OF ROCKLAND
(Rockland Timesl

(Rockland Times)
CT. Miller, secretary of the West
ern Realty Company, is delighted with
dry farming. Mr.. Miller. who is
visiting Dr. Shaw and family, has
had a large experience in farm land
and new towns, and speaks as one of
authority.
Mr.. Miller says: your locality for
a coming center could not be bet
ter. You are located far enough from
a competitive town to make a great
market for the immense crops you
grow here, and my experience is that
railroads always come where they
have immense crops.
"In our experience in real estate
we have found that the railroads have
pushed in sometimes unlimited. but
welcome, wherever the farm products
have looked anything like what you
have here. Hang onto your farm, is
my advice, and you will have at your
door before long the common carriers.
THE dry farming has passed the
experimental stage, as far as l can
learn. Crops are an assured thing
as far as they can be in any part of
the country l have visited.
Dc bOdhNg oPON
when the spring and summer have
added their coloring,
What impressed me greatly was
the progressiveness of the business
houses and their up-to-date methods.
l wish to say that your harness shop
is a credit to the town and puts to
shame such places in towns of five
and six thousand population that l
/ J. srsf hn or n largo
inviting places, and the bank com
pares with banks in much larger
| towns. Your beautiful new church
is a credit to the state, let alone the
town; in fact, it is the best that l
| have ever seen in a town of this size.
Your school building? Well, it takes
time for a new town to get every
thing. However, when you want to
build you have a fine lumber yard
which is a blessing. Your postoffice
impresses me more as a country dis
tributing post than a town postoffice,
not because of the attention given to
mail matters, but on account of its
locality. For this l presume there
is a reason, there generally is rea-
son in postoffice matters. When you
shake off a few ear marks of the past
and get a railroad, Rockland will
hold a prominent place in the state
of Idaho. There is nothing to kill
your village but the men in IT, A
live Commercial Club can soon make
your village blossom like rose. Use
printers ink and lots of it. Be united
on all matters of interest to your
town; even a railroad cannot hau
you to success unless you are willing
to help"

OPPOSE TWO SYSTEMS
Citizens of POcatellO Find Dual Tele-
phone System Expensive

The people of Pocatello some few
years ago, in an effort to get away
from what they thought too high a
rate for telephone service, granted a
franchise to an Independent system to
establish an exchange and operate
there and a number of the people of
the city subscribed for stock.
Needless to say that the stock has
never paid any dividends, except the
Irish kind, and he people do not feel
kindly toward their investment. In
stead of decreasing the cost of the
telephone system is doubled for each
business house and office and many
homes found that two telephones were
necessary as part of their business
connections had only one telephone
and in order to reach them the install
lation of two instruments was neces-
sary, doubling the cost without in
creasing the service.
They are trying to get away from il
after several years trial and will see
if the Bell interests can not be in
duced to take the Independent over
A telephone system is a natural
monopoly and as long as service is
good and rates reasonable there will
never be a need for two systems.

CLASSY BILL FOR
HOME TALENT PLAY
"BILLY'S BUNGALOW TO BE PRE-
SENTED BY LOCAL PEOPLE AS
BENEFIT FOR AMERICAN FALLS
PUBLIC LIBRARY
Cast Carefully Selected and Promise
is Given of a High Glass Entertain
ment-TO Raise Funds for Most
Worthy Cause.

Something exceedingly clever in the
form of a home talent play entitled
"Billy's Bungalow" will be put on at
the Auditorium on the evening of
March 25th.
The play which is of a comic nature
is now in process of rehearsal un-
der the skillful direction of Mrs. A.
link and Miss Dora Rice, and the
cast includes the following well known
local people which insures the success
of the enterprise: Misses Bess Cron-
khite, Helena Hughes, Irene Oliver
and Dora Rice, and Messrs. Jim Sykes,
Fred Durkee, Ed Cronkhite, Jim
Foley and Jack Lawson. With the
experience of this troupe in the lime
light it is permissible to say that
the possibility of stage fright, seizing
any one of them is precluded.
There is no cause in American
Falls more deserving of public support
than is the Public Library Association,
and the fact that the association never
appealed to or accepted aid from the
Carnegie interests is certainly com
mendable.
However, the association is in debt
to some extent, as the money to buy
the lot and erect the building was
borrowed, and it is the wish of the
Board to not only pay the interest but
to also make payment on the
principal each year
The plan is to have tickets for
reserved seats on sale at the Falls
Pharmacy in plenty of time, the prices
to be 75c and soc for adults and 25C
for school children.
Let everybody boost and make the
affair a financial success.

BOARD OF TRADE
REGULAR MEETING
EIGHTEEN INQUIRIES ABOUT
TOWN AND COUNTRY RECEIVED
AND ANSWERED DURING rive
WEEKS
This Organization Can Be Made Valu-
able Asset to all Property Owner
if Properly Utilized-Aecurate In
formation Badly Needed.

That the fame of American Falls
and the vast area of farming country
which surrounds it on all sides is
spreading, is evidenced by the fact
that during the past two weeks the
secretary of the Board of Trade has
received and answered eighteen in
quiries about our town and country
Many of the inquirers wanted to
know about the value of land in this
section, and whether or not there il
any great amount for sale. Can
buy a forty-acre tract at reasonable
price in your section" wrote one mar
back in Iowa. This brought up a
discussion as to the value of irrigated
land, and, as there is no way of de
termining the value except by getting
in touch with people who want to
sell, il was suggested that it might
be a good idea to get list of farms
that are for sale in order to have defi-
mite information to pass on to people
who are looking for a place to locate
If the Board of Trade can be OF
service in converting some of the
big fields of sagebrush on the Carey
tract south and west of town into
fields of hay and grain; to make com
Portable homes where now stand only
"proving-up" shacks, it will have re-
turned value to everyone far beyond
the cost of maintaining the organiza-
tion, and special attention will be
given to that work during the next
few months. If the owners of that
land do not care to dispose of their
holdings outright, it might be that
leases might be secured for a long
enough time to be attractive to people
who want to engage in that class OF
farming.
Cleanup Day.
The question of once more trying
a cleanup day was discussed at some
length and it seemed to be the opinion
of those present that if the Board oi
Trade, the city council, the churches
and other organizations went into i
} in earnest it could be made a grea
success. In the course of the discus
2 sion attention was called to the fac
2 that complaint had been filed wit
) the state sanitary officers, and it il
expected that Mr.. Wallis will pay vi
visit in the very near future.
Last year the state health office
who made the inspection here pro
nounced American Falls the cleanes
t town. of it's size, in the state. Their
e surely ought to be enough of civil
pride in the people to make an ef
: fort to maintain that emviable stand
l ing.
The matter OF giving aid to procur
l instruments for a school band wa
taken up and from the tenor of tn
discussion it was evident that ther
would be little difficulty in securin
the necessary funds, if there coul
be any assurance that the band woul
stay together long enough to be of an
service to the community.
