TWIN FALLS RAILROAD
COMING TO NEVADA

Nevada, and especially Elko county.
las long looked forward to direct rail
road connection with Idaho. At last
the Twin Falls Commercial club has
taken up the matter of financing the
90 miles from Twin Falls to Cobre and
tho 100 miles from Elv to Phoebe in
order to get direct rail connection with
Los Angeles The following on the
subject is taken from the Elv Record:
The people of Twin Falls have de-
vised a plan for a direct railroad con
nection with Ely, and ON to Phoebe
where it would connect with the Clark
line into Los Angeles, which is ou.-
lined as follows by j. McMillen. see
retary of the Twin Falls Commercial
club. who is now in Los Angeles, with
the intent of interesting capital in the
proposed enterprise:
"'The proposed road will be 400 miles
shorter than the Oregon Short Line
and Clark road by wav of Salt Lake
City he said. 1t will bring 100000
acres of fertile land as close TO Los
Angeles as San Francisco or within 800
miles -
The plan fostered by the Twin Falls
Commercial club eoptemplates the con-
SitutliOn VI Dul iSV iillcN VI IIdth
through country where gradients
could be reduced to a maximum of
per cent.
"The road has been surveyed but no
estimate of its actual cost has been
made said Mr.. Mcmillan. However
il viii be low. The idea is to get the
commercial bodies working at both
ends and eventually induce capital to
take up the proposition.
''Twin Falls is the hub of wheel
that contains 100000 acres of irriga-
lie land. The things we produce are
what the southland wants, while we
have a liking for your fruit, oil and
other products.
The road as planned win start at
Phoebe. New. on a branch line of the
Salt Lake then run loo miles north
to connection with the Guggenheim
railroad at Ely, with whom traffic
agreement is assured. according to Mr.
Mcmillan. To carry the line into Twin
Falls it will be necessary TO build 90
miles of track north from the terminus
af the Guggenheim railroad at Cobre.

"T hope to have the Chamber of
Commerce send a party over the route

C. |. |. UNABLE TO
GET CONTROL OF The
WELLS PROPERTY

The members Of the Canon City
Civic Improvement league are greatly
disappointed over the futility of their
negotiations TO secure a lease on the
Wells property On Macon avenue
and Of the consequent fEilure Of
their ambition to have II converted
Into q public playground for children.
The lack Of. care given the property
by the owners during the last few
years has caused II to fall into such
q condition OF neglect and appear
ence OF abandonment as TO render ii
an eyesore to the community.
Il was with a view Of keeping down
fits rank growth Of weeds and grass
es on the place during the summer
months and cleaning up the trash and
flth about the stables and other
out buildings on the premises that
the officers Of the civic improvement
league were prompted to open q cor
respondence with the nonresident
heirs Of the estate. They had bSpes
OF being able to rent the property for
n comparatively small sum Of money
ana transform II into = pleasure
ground for the town. which ali might
enjoy. Correspondence on the sub
ject. however. was unsatisfactory As
Il elected the information that the
property could not be obtained for .
less rental than three hundred and
nfty dollars per annum. which the
league deemed exhorbitant In consid-
Grafton OF the fact that the revenue
to the owners from the rent OF the
place has not been greatly In excess
OF one-thiri that amount for . num-
Der OF years past Under the circum-
stances the league has been eompeli-
ed to abandon the proposition
Something like two hundred and
twenty-five collars was secured in
private subscriptions by the league
from people about town a couple Of
weeks ago TO be used in taking over
the Wells property and It's conversion
into a public park. but with the
abandonment OF the enterprise this
money was returned to the donors.
The league desires to express its
appreciation OF the generosity and
public spiritedness OF those who con-
tributed to this fund. although the
terms demanded by the nonresident
parties interested in the ownership
OF the Wells property preciuded its
use for the purpose for which It was
subscribed.
