If Good Weather Continues viii Build
One Mile of Experimental Road
10 Test Construction.

The commissioners of road District
No. i will expeDd about Sc 900 for road
Improvement in the near future II
weather conditions remain favorable
There are few bad pieces of road in
the district which will take a large
part Of the expenditure.
Only one piece Of good construc-
ton is planned. This will be a one
mile section of the Rockland road, be-
ginning at the southern city limits and
extending one mile south. II is plan
ned TO put this piece of road in first
class condition, give II a good crown
and drag Il thoroughly. allowing the
storms of winter to settle II, using II
as demonstration OF the possibilities
of good road construction Such a test
will not only demonstrate the possibil-
tiles but will indicate the cost OF
construction and up-keep OF dirt roads
in this locality. The road in question
is used more than any other IN the
county receiving all the frafic for
40 miles south. An average Of 50
teams per day will pass over It the
year round During the wheat har
ing season the teams loaded and

CONSOLIDATED WAGON & MACHINE COM
PANY BECOME MANUFACTURES

The Consolidated Wagon Machine Company
has purchased the plant of the Holt Manufacturing
Company, manufacturers of the Holt and Best Com
bine Harvesters and in future will supply their own
demand for machinery of this kind, The company
has large number of branches throughout Utah
and Idaho in the best sections of the wes where the
demand for harvesters has been Increasing for sew
eral years No doubt the demands of their own
branches for this kind of machinery was the primary
cause of the purchase of the Holt Manufacturing
company, yet there is ready sale for combines
wherever grain growing is the principal industry as
in many sections of the inter-mountan west Kansas
Colorado and the Dakotas.
There are large number of these harvesters in
the immediate vicinity of American Falls.
About six years ago the first Holt combine was
purchased for use the big dry farm. The next
year two or three others were purchased by local
farmers. Every year since then from twelve to
twenty combines have been added and the demand is
yearly increasing. These machines have proven
their economy and will become almost universal
where wheat farming on large scale is the rule. Dry
farming and combines 60 together.
The Holt company also manufactured caterpillar
traction engines which taken by the C. w.
& NJ, and hereafter prices on combines and engines
may be secured upon application to W. W. Reckstead
local agent Of the company at American Falls The
acquisition of these valuable lines marks distinct
advance in the scope of usefulness of this great i'm
plement company, which, does eAgreater business
than any like company in the west

Judge Alfred Bulge has been ap-
pointed to the vacancy on the supreme
bench caused by the death of Justice
Stewart in September. The appoint
ment creates vacancy on the bench
in the Fifth Judicial District, which
must either be filled by appointment
by the present or incoming governor
The appointment OF Judge Bulge
does not come as surprise. 1t has
been talked in political circles for
several months, and doubtless would
have been made sooner had II been
possible to place another candidate on
the allot for district Judge. The ap-
pointment is locally popular, and is a
just recognition of the fitness of Judge
Bulge for the honor bestowed.
The letter of Governor fiaines TO
Secretary of State Clifford states that
the appointment Is for the full unex-
pired term of four years. Secretary
Clifford has declined to issue the certi-s
iicate pending hearing before the
Supreme court, as there is a question
whether an appointment can be made
extending beyond the next election.
The matter will probably be heard at
an early date.

RAILROAD TALK
IS RENEWED
BUILDING OF LINE INTO ROCK
LAND VALLEY AGAIN BEING
AGITATED WITH INCREASING
HOPES OF SUCCESS.
Projected to Roy, But Temporary
Terminus VIII Be at ROckland-
Committee of Twelve Selected to
Devise Ways and Means of Raising
Money 10 Secure Building Of Line.

The building of a railroad into the
Rockland Valley with a temporary
terminus at Rockland, but to be ex-
tended later to or beyond Roy, is
again claiming local public attention
and meetings in furtherance of this
purpose are being held. The first
meeting of a series of four was held
at Roy Monday evening A largely
attended and enthusiastic meeting was
held at Rockland Tuesday evening. A
we'll attended meeting was held at
Neeley last night and the fourth of
the series will be held at the X. of p.
hall here tonight.
Suggestions for the building of the
road are made at these meetings by
H, j, Slifer, of Chicago, who has been
identified with every former attempt
to secure the building OF a road, In
his presentation of the matter he
dwelis at length upon the steps taken
during the past three years in the mat
ter, showing that three contracts have
been submitted to him, all of which
received his signature, all of them be-
ing held up in New York by the head
officials of the Union Pacific system,
leaving matters as they were before
the building of the road was first
agitated.
Mr. Slifers suggestions contemplate
the raising of $4,000 for immediate
use for preliminary work, and the
subsequent raising of approximately
$150,OOO more by farmers and the
business men of American Falls and
Rockland, through stock subscriptions.
Mr.. Slifer asserted his belief that all
further sums needed for construction
and equipment could be raised by
bonding the road Most of the materi-
al he asserted, could, without doubt,
be secured in exchange for such bonds.
At the meetings held committees of
three are appointed, and the details
of working out a plan will be left to
them. The committe of twelve will
meet here tomorrow afternoon at 2:30
and begin its labors. 1t will no doubt
require a number of meetings and
much effort before things are whip
ped into shape to indicate whether
success or failure will attend the ef-
fort
The meeting at Rockland was large
" attended and enthusiastic. More
than ever the people ralize that less
expensive marketing conditions must
be secured The Rockland valley is
one of the best wheat growing sections
of the west, both as to acreage, yield
and quality of product. but the ex-
pense of getting the crop to market
makes a drain upon the producer that
must be relieved. He must either feed
his product or market IT for less mon
ey.
The committees so far appointed
are:
Roy-O. w. Pollard, Bert Stresser,
James Hartley.
Rockland-J. t. Fisher, X. ID. Houtz.

FEUD ENDS
Trapper's Son, Who Fought for
Land, Gives Up.
Old Man BsttIed Rockefeller for Twen-
ty.Two Years to Retain Cabin and
Grounds Near the Adlron.
daek Preserves.

Malone, N. Y.-Word has been TO
ceived here that the celebrated Rookie
feller-Lamora feud has been ended BY
the action Of William Lamora In sell
ing the cabin and grounds left him BY
his father, q hunter and trapper. who
refused to sell his property to make
up q section of William Rockefeller's
vast Adirondack game preserve.
II was In 1892 that William Rookie
Teller set out to acquire the game
preserve. He bought $4,000 acres
around the town Of Brandon. but could
not obtain Oliver Lamora's cabin and
clearing, which stood in the way. Out
Of this arose q legal battle between
the oil magnate's agents and the old
trapper. It was expensive work for
Lamora, but the old trapper's friends
and neighbors sympathized with him
and came to his aid financially.
Lamora was arrested for trespass-
ing, having ignored the 5000 signs
posted on the preserve. But twice
he defeated the Rockefeller agents In
the courts by showing that the fish in
the Rockefeller streams were supplied
by the state hatchery, and that the
state law forbids the setting aside Of
such waters as part Of any private es-
tate.
On the third occasion. when the
agents got Lamora into court, 1t was q
civil suit for damages. It went through
several tribunals, finally reaching the

Woman's Suffrage Movement In

Paris.-Gallantry may prove fatal
to the woman suffrage movement in
