invention of Former Durango Man
George w. Koob, of the general Of
ices of the Western Colorado Power
ompany at this place, has just been
sranted a patent on new invention
ghich is intended to eliminate the
Ianger, especially on railroads re-
ulting from color blindness on the
part of the engineers or other train
men.
Instead of the white and red lights
safe" and danger" signals Mr.
Koob's invention provides for the po-
iition of shaft of light as the sig
lal. This apparatus consists of two
electric light bulbs so encased in a
'rame with proper prism glasses so
Is to project clearly defined shaft
f light, giving search-light effect
projecting from each end The light
pivoted in such a way as to admit
Vt circular movement to the ex-
.ent of a quarter of a circle. The
FORMAL position of the shaft of light
will be up and down. or horizontal,
and as signal corresponds to the
white light for clear track as used
At present. When a danger signal is
wanted the operator in the tower pulls
/ lever attached to the signal which
turns the light quarter of the way
around, which places the shaft of light
in vertical position, casting streak
Of light across the track as a warn
ing that danger turks ahead.
The apparatus is so arranged that
if anything happens to the operating
device the light will automatically fall
into the position of the danger signal
which will eventually call the atten-
ton of the operator before any acci-
dent can happen by reason of the fail
ure of the apparatus to do its proper
work.-Montrose Enterprise.

CORRECT LINE Of SNAKE
Surveyor is Assigned to Twin Falls
County.

James Spofford, of Boise, United
States surveyor, has been assigned to
make a survey of the meander line
of Snake river in Twin Falls county.
He expects to leave the latter part of
this week to commence the work
His survey is to permit an adjust
ment of the property rights and iden-
tification and location of the old me-
ander line in relation to the actual
mean high water line of the river
bank.
For some time people of the affect
ed district have been clamoring for
such a survey. The old contract sur
vey was made only along the bluff. AS
result many acres of rich land in the
Snake river bottom were left out
Settlers on that land had no way of
knowing their rights, and in some
cases the old meander survey showed
them to be in different sections from
those on which they had settled
Surveyor General Utter said Tues
day that Mr.. Spofford's survey will
have the effect of providing a basis
whereby all the property rights along
the river in Twin Falls county may be
properly adjudicated- Statesman.

TRYING TO STOP FEVER
State Board Of Health Has Secured
Cooperation Of Army Surgeon.

According to word that has been re-
ceived by DR.. 0. B. Steeley, president
of the state board of health, the fed
eral government will cooperate with
Idaho in the process of eliminating
spotted fever. DR.. Ralph Falk, sec
rotary of the board, writes the presi-
dent from Boise to the effect that AS
sistant Surgeon Liston Paine of the
army medical department, has been
assigned to this state Off several
months to cooperate with the local
authorities in investigating the cause
of spotted fever, and to take means
to check its progress.
The government has been very ac-
tive in its campaign against the few
or and is seeking to eradicate it in
every portion of the country, and the
assignment of an army surgeon to
this state is the result of a resoIu-
ton that was passed by the state
board of health at Boise short time
ago and transmitted to the department,
asking for such concession The gov
eminent responded in double-quick
time and will materially aid in the
work.-Pocatello Tribune.

REFUSES TO LET DOWN BARS
Public Utilities Commission Denies Re-
quest of Rupert Company.

Believing that it would be flooded
with applications for similar changes
in the rules it has adopted for electric
service corporations, if 1t granted the
request made, the public utilities COM
mission in an order issued today de-
MED the application of the Rupert
Electric company for relief from the
operation of certain provisions of gen.
eral order No. 10. The commission
did not find enough evidence to justify
the change and for that reason and the
added reason it did not wish to let
down the bars by changing the proyi-
sions of its order it finds that it can
not grant the request.
The order involved in No. 10 is one
that. relates to overhead construction
OF power lines. In a request and pc
tition on file with the commission for
change, the power company sets
forth that convenience and necessity
demanded the relief prayed for. In it's
order the commission says:
:. This matter coming on Informally
for consideration upon the written ap-
plication of applicant for relief from
the operation of certain provisions of
general order No. 10, of this commits
sion, promulgating and establishing
rules governing the construction of
pole, wire and cable lines of tele-
phone, telegraph, signal, electric DOW
or and other circuits of similar char
acter, and for the crossings of wires
or cables of telegraph, telephone, sig
nal, electric power and other circuits
OF similar character in the state of
Idaho, and the commission having full
ly considered the matter and being full.
ly advised in the premises, finds that
showing has not been made that
public convenience and safety will not
be lnJuriously affected by the granting
of such relief, or that the welfare of
the applicant company will be sub
served to such an extent as will Justify
the granting of such relief. 1t is there
fore ordered that the application be
and the same is hereby denied Cap

MAN KILLED BY BULL
J. N. RoystOn, Prominent Resident Of
Payette Valley. Meets Tragic Death.

Fruitland. April 17-Attacked and
thrown over the head of an angry bull,
j. NJ. RoystOn was gored to death at
the Royston ranch near here at 6
O'Clock last night. He died within a
few minutes afterwards before medi-
cal assistance could reach him A ter
rible wound in the abdomen and the
severing of an artery by the horns of
the Infatuated animal brought on al
most instand death. Mr.. Royston s
last words were, ''phone for doctor"
but it was too late. The tragedy has
shocked the community. Few men
were more prominent in this part of
the state or held in higher esteem. He
was a prominent swine breeder, a
member of the state grange and iden-
titled with other organizations for the
promotion of farming interests.
Preparatory to doing the chores last
night Mr.. Royston in company with his
wife and daughter drove the stock in
to the barn. The bull was among them
He had hardly entered the barn with
Mr.. Royston following before he turn
cd and without a moments warning
attacked his unfortunate victim. Mr.
Royston was picked up bodily on the
head alighting face downward on the
barn floor. The bull then whirled on
his victim and started to continue his
attack. By this time Mr.. Royston' s
wife and daughter had rushed to his
rescue and with pitch forks managed
to keep the bull at bay until help could
be summoned. The wound in the alb
domen was in itself sufficient to cause
n hrf 80 w.
FASTENED it.
The deceased is survived by large
family including his bereayed widow,
three daughters at home, Clara, Emma
and Josephine and two married daugh-
ters at Twin Falls, Mrs. Harry Sart
and Mrs. Edward william; two sons at
home, Lase and Charles three who
are residents of Twin Falls, Edward,
Carl and Sthyler and John resident
of Prosser Neb. Mr.. Royston's other
near relatives reside at Baltimore,
Maryland. He was Sc years old at the
time of his unfortunate death.

HEARING IN RATE CASE
State Commissions of the Intermoun-
tain Territory Represented.

Washington, April 12.-Representa-
tives of Pacific coast cities and cities
some distance back In the interior pro-
tested before the interstate commerce
commission today against the proposal
of Eastern railroads to reduce the
rate making basis from Eastern points
to points in so-called back haul terri
tory in coast and intermountain
state.
Arguments in the case were heard
by Interstate Commerce Commissioner
Clark and Examiner Thirtell of the
commission.
Following a recent decision of the
commission which ordered the rates
to back haul points reduced to some
what less" than the through artes to
Pacific coast terminals plus the re-
turn rate to the destination, the rail-
roads proposed to make the terminal
rate for rate-making purposes cents
less per 100 pounds on carload lots
and 10 cents less per hundred pounds
on less than carload lots, than the real
terminal rate.
To this the rate for the haul back
would be added to make the new rate
to back haul points. Representatives
of the Pacific coast cities and cities
some distance from the coast protest
ed that the plan would discriminate
against them. Attorney Mann, for the
San Francisco chamber Of commerce
said that Sacramento, Los Angeles,
San Jose and other California towns
having rate from San Francisco less
than the proposed reduction would be
given practically the same rates as
seaport terminals, despite the water
competition at the seaboard
f. A. Jones, representing the Ari-
zona state commission, said that if the
terminal rate was to be extended to
cities 40 or so or 80 miles from the sea
coast there was no reason why similar
concessions should not be made to
points farther in the interior
f. H. Wood, for the railroads, de-
Tended the proposed plan and asserted
that it was equitable to all points af-
fected.-Capital News.

BIG PRICE FOR WOOL
Idaho Flockmasters May Get Soc Per
Pound for Clip.

Thirty-five cent wool.
That is the prediction of woolmen
now in touch with the market. They
claim there are many instances where
wool has been sold the past two weeks
for 30 cents; that the top price reach
ed will probably be 35 cents and that
the clip for Idaho, Utah and Wyoming
is better this year than it has been
for several years.
While local sheepmen claim that
the expense of growing wool is in
creasing the high prices promised for
this year means that growers in Ida
no are now clipping cleaner wool than

them are holding out for topnotch
prices which it appears they are GO
