Every herd of swine in the county
will be %catalogued by the experts of
the government, a history will be
kept of each and a quarantine main
tanned to absolutely stamp out the
disease. Under the terms of the
appropriation, nothing will be left
undone to scientifically wage war
against the disease. which has cost
the country many millions of dollars.
The. work is to be done by the gov
eminent in fifteen counties all over
this country, one county in each
state. Brown, Sphinx and Brook

ment, the tSate college will have a
man on the ground to organize the

And to that there was certainly

Mrs. Jane Kaufman was the name
of the woman traveller who went
through this morning with her hus,
band enroute to the harvest fields
of North Dakota. Wearing a black
sunbonnet and q calico dress, she
kicked her heels against the under
meath the car door and laughed at
the interviewer who would question
her right to travel by freight.
According to her story, she and her
Husband worked in the fields In Kan

blankets, were pans and kettles with
which she proposed to do the cook
in for a harvest rew If she could
get employment In North Dakota. II
she could not work as a cook, she
declared she was ready to work IL

competent to shock a bundle of grain
as would those who wondered at her
mode of travel.

said that large number of beet cars
Will be ordered to care for the great
increase in the sugar beet industry in
Utah and Idaho during the past two
year. Last season the Oregon Short
Line borrowed sugar beet cars from
the Southern Pacific's California divi-
sion in order to handle this crop.
The asking of bids for the building
of equipment at this time is said to be
caused by the great increase in the in
termediate traffic Of the Union Pacific.
The Oregon Short Line during 1913
increased it's intermediate traffic over
1912 The influx of population to Ida
no and the new business which came
to the railroad through the opening
up of many branch lines caused
dearth of good equipment to handle
the business.
1t is understood that the Pacific
Fruit Express, the refrigerator line of
the Union Pacific system, is also in
the market for number of new re-
frigerator cars. The heavy shipment
of potatoes and fruits from the Wash
ington, Oregon and Idaho districts last
season caused a car shortage in the
refrigerator line which seriously af-
fected Idaho farmers.

Pacific system the best equipped

THE COPPERFIELD RAID.

Something new in law enforcement
was seen in Oregon few days ago
when Governor Oswald West sent a
girl of twenty-five, his private secre-
tary, to remote mining district to
direct the cleaning up of tough
town and the arrest of five officials,
including the mayor, by military au-
thority, on charges of Illegal liquor
selling. Miss Fern Hobbs is the name
of the young woman who commanded
the expedition, and the incident moves
the Nashville Tennessean to say that
cit needs only determination to en-
force the law to put every violator out
of business and into Jail" and that
Oregon has magnificent cause to
plume itself on the possession of two
such fine citizens as Governor West
and Miss Hobbs" The New York
World, on the other hand, wonders
why the governor should send his

President Wilson's message on the
trusts, eagerly awaited alike by the
people and the trusts, bears out the
same impress that has characterized
his previous utterance as the careful
conclusions of mastery mind. Not
a sign can be noted of any antagonism
toward the trusts which may come un-
der the head of illegal combines in re-
any grandstanding or playing to the
popular prejudice against the malfac-
tors of great wealth. The whole mes
sage bears the earmarks of the sincere
opinion of an honest and able states
man. Trusts have rights in our body
industrial and should not be made the
prey of demogogic rule. President Will
son starts with a fair premise of JUS
tice in his attitude toward the most
complex problem confronting this in
dustrial nation. He weighs right and
wrong with equal clearness and then
makes the declaration that conformity
to antitrust laws is the sole issue and
the protection of the general public.
The greater powers of the interstate
commerce commission over financial
operations of railroads is not a new
and startling doctrine. 1t is the in
evitable outcome of the great work
done in curbing injustice in rates on
transportation. The interstate COM
merce commission has given satisfac-
ton to both sides and the increase in
the scope of its jurisdiction strikes a
pleasant note with consumers and
gives the railroads satisfaction in the
prospects of square deal.
President Wilson is said by many
partisan papers to be playing a deep
political game with all of his moves
on every subject, but at least he is
making the game worth while to a
large number of Republicans and
Democrats alike in that it bears the
impress of right thinking for the gem
eral good of the whole nation.

ROLLING STOCK FOR @. s. |
New Cars to Handle Big Crops il
Idaho Next Season.

According to information recently
received from Salt Lake sources, the
Union Pacific railroad has asked for
bids for furnishing $4,300,000 worth of
rolling stock for this year. If this
amount, $1,260;O00 worth is for the
Oregon Short Line, the remainder to
be distributed over the Union Pacific,
Oregon Washington Railroad G. Navi-
cation company and ST. Joseph &
Grand Island roads The Union Paci-
fic system is in the market for 1000
box cars, 600 automobile cars, 500
stock cars and number of coal cars.
The new equipment will be of wood
with steel underframes.
The most interesting item in the
new equipment which is to be built
for the Union Pacific is the automo-
bile cars. According to railroad Off
Gals the automobile business has
grown so fast that the railroads have
not been able to keep pace with it in
furnishing transportation facilities
Automobile cars are especially design
ed to care for the shipping of automo-
biles. The 900 of these cars upon
which the Union Pacific has asked for
bids will be of the latest design in
steel underframe construction, and
will be used exclusively in automobile
transportation west of the Missouri
river.
Automobile cars are the most costly
of any which the Union Pacific system
intends to have built this year. They
cost about $1050 each. The box cars
which are to be built will cost $500
each. the stock cars $500, and the coal
cars $500 each. Besides these. the
Union Pacific is in the market for A
number of cars of special class. It is
