ENGINES BACK IN THE SERVICE.
Some of the Biggest Locomotives of
the Short Line Will Be Re-
turned to Use.

The Oregon Short Line railroad has
begun preparations for the taking off
of the white lead" which is on rs
engines at Pocatello, and announces
that all of the locomotives will be put
to work moving crops. There is a
heavy business to the northwest at
this time, and the moving of crops
of Utah, Idaho and Oregon will require
additional motive power The placing
of the rs locomotives in service by
the railroad will mean that more than
400 engineers, firemen, brakemen and
conductors in Pocatello. Glenns Ferry.
Salt Lake and Huntington will be CIV
en- employment at full time. A num-
Der of the locomotives have been tied
up in the shops for almost two years.
The threshing of grain in Idaho
already has begun and the railroad OPP
Grating department has placed a
large number of box cars at all divi-
sion points for the quick handling of
the crop movement. With the rs en-
gines back in the service, the Oregon
Short Line officials are. looking for
one of the busiest seasons since 1910.
The shipment of war munitions to Pa
cific northwest ports in the last six
months has caused the railroad earn
ing to be almost up to normal, ac-
cording to the number of engines, cars
and men employed. The grain move

The young king bade them return
after three days. When he conferred
with the old men of his kingdom, they
advised, IF thou wilt be a servant
unto this people this day, and wilt
speak good words unto them, then they
will be thy servants forever" But
this advice was not fully satisfactory
to young King Rehoboam; so he in
quired of his personal friends, younger
men of his acquaintance. These gave
opposite advice. Their thought was
that to yield to the people would be
merely to start rebellious demands
which eventually would be unendura
BILE. The king agreed with them.
But the ten tribes were not intimi-
dated. They withdrew, refusing to
participate in the amounting of Reho-
boam as their king. Only two tribes.
judah and Benjamin, remained loyal
to Rehoboam. Thus the kingdom Of
Israel was divided. Thereafter the ten
tribes maintained the title Kingdom of
Israel, and the two tribes were called
the Kingdom of Judah, for over five
hundred years-until the return from
Babylonian captivity.
Since the captivity, the name Israel
has stood for the entire twelve tribes, |
as at first, being so used by Jesus and |
the Apostles; and the name Jews was
similarly used for all in covenant re-
lationship with God. The great ma
jority never returned. But others of
them, remaining loyal to God and
going to Jerusalem annually at the
feast, as directed by Gods Word. con-
inued to be known as members of
"the twelve tribes scattered abroad"

the king should observe the Golden
Rule-that he should do to them, and
for them. as he would that they should
do to him, were conditions reversed.
The Golden Rule. laid down by the
great Head of Christianity Is despised
and rejected as impracticable; but we
hold that 1t has not had a trial. Those
who have the power have always fear
ed to trust the Golden Rule In their
dealings with the people. Political
parties. clamoring for something like
the Golden Rule have time and again
climbed into power. only to refuse to
use the rule after gaining the oppo.
tunity, contending that conditions
made it impossible. Soon. however, it
will have a worldwide test. and will
demonstrate that 1t is the only rule by
which human happiness can be perma-
nently secured Messiah's Kingdom

Hon along this line for 1000 years.

There is not much doing in real
estate, and the prospects are that
there will not be much activity in
that line until there is a revival Of
return of genuine prosperity.
The weight of opinion seems to
be that this will not occur until
there is change of national admin
istration and new policy in nation
al lawmaking.
This may be the case. How
when it comes-and the sooner the
heartier.
The real estate situation in Boise
is far from active. 1t has been
slow for some time, but the general
condition of the city and of the sur
rounding territory is not nearly so
bad as real estate apathy indicates
i'll less resourceful communities
with future less bright.
If any reader does not believe
this statement he will certainly be
convinced If he attempts to pur-
chase. While real estate is lower
than it was a few years ago, it is
not on the bargain counter so far
as this community is concerned.
On the contrary, prices are reason
ably held up excepting in a few
comparatively few instances where
owners are subjected to forced sale
for any reason.
If conditions were as bad as
The Richfield recorder. (Richfield, Idaho) 1909-1931, 1915-08-05

some would lead us to believe if is
a certainty that real estate would
be offered at much lower than the
prevailing prices.
There is large measure of en-
enlargement in this situation. 1t
shows the inherent strength Of
Boise and the surrounding terri
tory.

they were but they are far from
