WILL TAKE OVER PAY
ETTE VALLEY
Final Estimates Are Made Pre-
paratOry to Transfer to
Short Line.

Final figures have been compiled by
the board of estimates of the Oregon
Short Line and before the end of the
present year the Payette Valley rail
road, running from Payette to EN-
NETT viii probably be taken over by
the Oregon Short Line for approx
imately s1,50O,O0O, says the Herald
Republican, Salt Lake.
The road is 80 miles long. c. w.
Nibley of Salt Lake is president of
the road and H. E. Dunn, better
known in railroad circles as Hy Dunn,
is vice president and general manager.
The line taps rich country in
western Idaho, and during the sum-
mer months borrows motive power
from the Oregon Short Line to move
the large fruit and melon crops of
Payette valley.
The recent development of the En-
NETT bench, one of the best irrigated
sections in the west, has given the
Payette Valley road more traffic than
it can handle. The road has only to
be extended a few miles to tap the
timber country south of the water
shed, where there are millions of feet
of timber not touched as yet. Many
large cattle and sheep ranges are
found further inland in the Payette
valley and in the mountains, and the
road receives a large livestock ship
ment every year.
The purchase of the Payette Valley
by the Oregon Short Line marks the
absorption of the last independent
railroad in Idaho with the exception
of the Pacific & Idaho Northern,
which has connections with the Short
Line. The Idaho Northern, which
was built by Edward H. Dewey of
Nampa, Idaho, toward Payette lakes
and through the rich timber country
around Smiths Ferry, was purchased
by the Oregon Short Line Is months
ago, and the Short Line will extend
it through to Payette lakes this sum-
mer.
The Oregon Short Line in the event
of sale intends to begin operations
ever the Payette Valley road July l,
1914. E. E. Calvin, general manager
of the Oregon Short Line, admitted
that the board of estimate had finish
ed appraising the property.

FARM TEAM KILLED
BY TRAIN
Struck by Engine Near Bram-
well Owner Reed Narrow
ly Escapes

A team of work horses belonging
to E. F. Reed, the South Slope or
chardist, was struck by Short Lire
train Saturday near Bramwell sta
.tion and killed. Mr.. Reed himself, who
was driving them, barely had time to
make his escape.
NJ Reed was doing sone repair
work on the south side lateral of the
Canyon canal not far from the Cald
well road. He was crossing the track
with a scraper at the usua, place
used by those working on the ditch,
as a crossing. One of the single
trees caught on rail and as Mr. Reed
stopped over to release it tht train
hove in sight without warning
around sharp curve and not over
100 feet distant Mr.. Reed hit the
horses with the lines and jumped, but
the engine ground the life out of both
animals before they could get off of
the track, and he was lucky to get
clear OF the track himself, as was
Aso a crew of section men working
esrby, whom Mr. Reed, as an old
Ailroad man, supposed were working
nder protection, but who had to move
kst to get in the clear.
The harness on the team was torn
hto small bits. A number Of local
itizens who were on the train stated
hat no warning was given by the en-
tineer.
The loss is a serious one at this par

land; in fact, there is but very little
undeveloped land left east of the city.
c. T. Barringer is preparing 20
acres on east Main street for trees and
alfalfa.
A. Bird, the liveryman, is plant

Prof Geo. D. Knipe has had 20 acres
cleared on the Schrecongost place and

that a 10-acre tract had just been
