MONEY FOR NEW
BRANCHES VOTED
Western Pacific Directors Take
Action.
TEN MILLION SET ASIDE FOR
FEEDER BUILDING
Recent Meeting Of Gould System Of
ficials ChrODicled in the Christian
Science Monitor.

New York The Western Pacific
capital readjustment may prove unpal-
atable for first mortgage bondholders
who have put up $50,000,000 cash rep
resented by outstanding first mort
gage bonds; but Denver & Rio Grande,
which has put up $45,0OO,OOO cash of
it's own, will get nothing more out Of
the readjustment than a stock certifi-
cate.
First mortgage bondholders of West
ern Pacific can assure themselves even
if they do not receive 40 per cent in
second mortgage bonds and SO per
cent in adjustment incomes, that these
represent everything there is to the
property Of substantial character.
Denver & Rio Grande further intends
to guarantee interest on the new $780,
100000 second mortgage bonds and al
so pledge its surplus revenues to pay
interest on the new income bonds.
Western Pacific property has al
ready cost nearly twice original esti-
mates. After four years struggle for
existence the management comedies
that the property can never hope to be
profitable until at least $4,000, 900
more is expended for branch lines.
1t is proposed to provide these new
funds through sale of new first mort
gage bonds which present bondholders
will be given an opportunity of buying
so that at the price of putting up more
! money the present first-mortgage
bondholders will bes secured by all
jequities in the property, in addition tc
whatever security the Denver e Rio
Grande guarantees and pledges are
worth after the s45.000,000 drain on
the latter's resources.
Denver & Rio Grande has gone deer
into it's treasury to bring Western Pa
cific through, and the best evidence OF
| Denver's inherent strength is that il
carried so heavy load so long without
itself succumbing to the burden.
In 1910, when it became evident tina,
original estimates of $50,000000 fol
construction and equipment of West.
ern Pacific was far too low, Denver
sold $22,000,000 of it's own first ant
refunding per cent bonds and witt
proceeds purchased $25,000,000 West
ern Pacific second SIS. Cost of the
seconds to the Denver was $23,030,
952. Since that date the Denver has
paid interest on its own bonds sold fol
Western Pacific purposes, but has new
er received interest on the Western Pa
cific seconds.
In addition, the Denver advanced
interest on Western Pacific first mort
gage bonds and funds for other pur
Iposes to amount to $14.090,000 up t
June 30 1914, for which it took West
Tern Pacific notes. In addition it loan
ed Western Pacific $2,762,000 withou
security, and holds a further claim o
So, 900 for unpaid interest on sec
ond mortgage bonds. Since June 81
last Denver has advanced an additiona
$1,000000 interest on Western Pacific
first mortgage bonds to pay the Sept
coupons. so that to date the Denve
appears to have put in excess Of $46,
100000 cash or it's equivalent, TO
which it will in the readiustment ge
stock in the Western Pacific, which i
a long way from promising any divi

ASSESSOR COLLECTS LICENSE
Automobile Owners VIII Have Local
Authorities as Collectors.

Under the new law the assessor
will this year collect your automobile
tax. Assessor j. W. Beauchamp is in
receipt of letter from the State High
way commission, which announces
that it will be about ten days or two
weeks before the necessary forms, ETC.,
are ready for use.
The new law provides that no per-
son under the age of sixteen yars
shall be permitted to operate a motor
vehicle Of any kind upon the public
highways of the state, and that all
chauffeurs operating cars for rent
shall pay a fee of $500.
The fees for automobiles are as fol-
lows: Under thirty horse power,
$500; over thirty and under forty,
$1,000; over forty and under fifty,
$25.0O; over so, $4,000; motorcycles,
$500 Dealers are required to pay a
yearly fee of $500 for each make OF
auto handled.
All license fes are to be collected
by the county assessors, and dupli-
cate receipt is then sent to the State
Highway Commission, which in turn
issues the license tag which must be
placed upon each car.
The law also provides that the coun-
| ty in which the license fees are paid
gets seventyfive per cent Of the fee
and the balance goes to; the state. The
funds 80 received go into the county
treasury and are to be apportioned by
the commissioners into the various
road funds of the county.
Under the old law the county got
nothing from automobiles in any man
ner, unless there had been highway
districts duly organized within the
county in which the car paid its Ii
cense This law appears to be more
fair than the old, and will add nc
small amount to the road funds OF
Twin Falls county.

BAD OUTLOOK FOR BASEBALL
Idaho Towns Fail to Respond to Invi-
I tatiOn of B. b. b. League,

The great national game at present
has gloomy aspect in American
Falls. President Virgin, of the B. B. B.
league of last year called meeting
of managers for last Sunday and Po-
catello was the only town represented
Invitations were sent to the towns on
the Twin Falls branch and to Idaho
Falls, Blackfoot and Shelly, but no
representatives from those towns were
present at the meeting in Pocatello.
1t is probable that meeting will be
called again next Sunday in Pocatel-
10 and an attempt made to get bet
ter representation from the nearby
towns. President Virgin issued the
call several days ago with the hope
that a representative from each town
would be present at the meeting. I'm
less a keener interest is shown III the
next meeting at Pocatello the league
will probably be discontinued for the
coming summer. The fans in Ameri-
can Falls have thus far made no plans
for the season and the game OF base
ball seems to be a dead issue.-Ameri-
can Falls Press.

MILK
FACTORY HERE
Seattle Firm Pushing Project
With Citizens.

FOR PLANT W
VIII Need $500 Cows to Supply MIX
for the Daily Output of Plant to be
Installed.

Harry Nelson, of Seattle, represent
ing the Puget Sound Condensed Milk
company, was in this city for several
days trying to interest the business
men in the erection of a large
condensed milk factory for this
tract. Mr. Nelson interviewed mem
bers of the board of directors OF the
Commercial club and put up his propo-
sition which is given in brief below
The company will put up factory
somewhere in this section, preferably
Twin Falls If they can secure local
support from the business men and
dairymen. The plan of the company
is to form local stock company in
which the dairymen and business men
take the bulk of the stock and have
control OF the corporation thus form
ed. The Puget Sound Condensed Milk
company will send men into the field
TO work up the contracts with the
dairymen for the milk; supervise all
constructive work regarding building
and installing machinery and when
ready for operation send some OF its
skilled employees to operate the new
plant. The company frankly states
that 1t expects to make money togeth-
er with the local people in the pro-
| ject.
! The plant with capacity Of 500
cases daily will cost approximately
$50, 900 of which SIS 200 will go for the
equipping Of the condensary, of which
$4,000 would be used for power plant A
condensary of the size contemplated
would put practically $4,000 per
month in circulation among the ranch
ers and the business circles OF the city
where located and would pay a hand
| some profit to the Stockholders
