WANT NORTH AND
SOUTH CONNECTED

SOSu 49,
One of the things dreamed of,
and, may it be hoped, will some day
be realized, is the completion of
what is known as the north and
south railroad. This is a compile
tion of the road from Lewiston up
the Snake to connect with the rail-
road north. There is yet to build
only short link, probably a little
more than a hundred miles, and we
recall that during the campaign of
Governor Gooding some years ago
he urged the completion of this
road which would do much to unite
the north to the southern end of l.
daho. Probably no man ever has
occasion to travel from one end of
Idaho to the other without being
interested in the proposed road, and
nothing within the power of men
would do more for the state than
to build such road.
In line with this desire is reso-
luton just introduced in the legis-
lature by F. C. MCGOWAN, repre-
sentative from Latah county. Fol-
lowing is a copy:
Whereas, for years there has ex-
listed the necessity of going through
portions of the States of Washing
ton and Oregon when travelling
from north Idaho to south Inaho,
and,
Whereas, in the case of members
of the legislature the milage paid is
necessarily excessive and the trip to
all travellers is inconvenient and
wearying, and
Whereas, it is for the greater
purpose of cementing the two Sec
tions ..of Idaho into what may be-
come a more homogeneous state; to
provide more rapid facilities for
transportation of passengers and
freight between the two present
segregated sections of north and
south; the unifying of its economic
and industrial differences and the
general closer uniting of the people
of these two sections,
Now, therefore be it resolved by
the House of Representatives, the
Senate concurring, that the Honor
able Moses Alexander, the present
chief executive of the state of Ida
no, be and he is hereby requested
and authorized to appoint COM
mission of three members who shall
serve without pay and whose duties
shall be to investigate the possibili-
ty of securing an extension to the
railroad from New Meadows, Idaho,
now the terminal of the Pacific and
Idaho Northern railroad, to Lewis
ton, Idaho; also to investigate and
determine whether or not it would
be more practical to build such
North and South connections via
some other route which may be de-
termined upon by investigation or
in conference with railroad officials
controlling roads now existing with
in or without the state.
Such commission may be selected
from among men more or less fam
iliar with the railroad construction,
and a futher buty devolving upon
them shall be to ascertain whether
or not any existing railroad COM
pany would make such proposed
extension.
The commission shall be entitled
to reimbursement for actual travel
ing and other expenses incident to
the prosecution of the work. The
members of the commission shall
prepare and submit to the governor
a complete report of their conclu-
sions and findings. which shall be
transferred by the governor to the
1917 session of the Idaho. legis.
lature.

sides, with no means Of obtaining
food and munitions of war other than
those produced at home, and either
desperate retaliatory measures, such
as the activity of their submarine
craft, or positive surrender, are their
only alternatives. They have no ships
of their own afoat and at liberty in
European waters, the ships of neutral
countries are prevented from carrying
supplies to them, and all that they
can do in return is to sink as many
ships as possible engaged in trans
porting supplies to their enemies. 1t
is the opinion Of The Record, as al
ready expressed, that it would be bet
ter for the United States to stear clear
of the conflict entirely, keeping our
citizens and ships at home, so far as
possible, until the war is over.
At the present time the United
States occupies the most exalted po-
sition Of any nation on earth. We are
setting the example to the rest of the
world that will in future have won
derful bearing upon the spreading of
the gospel of universal peace, and it
would be disheartening disappoint-
ment, indeed, were we to descend from
the pedestal and engage in the gen.
eral riot that exists over the greater
part of the world today. God forbid!

A TIME TO BE BROAD.
VIZ HILE dealing with the present

WHILE dealing with the present
w delicate situation between the
United States and Germany il is the
time of all others for the president of
the United States and his cabinet to
be big, broad and deliberate. II we
have war with Germany, the part of
aggression should be all on Germany's
side, and the fact that it is already be-
set upon every hand. with no navy To
use in invading our territory, and lit
tie chance of injuring us, should not
have the slightest bearing, unless It's
effect be 10 make us more tolorent.
Nor should we permit ourselves 70
look with greedy eyes upon the two
hundred of more German ships ma
rooned in our waters, which some
people are disposed to view as valua-
BILE and legitimate prizes in the event
of war.
The United States has assumed a
great responsibility in attempting TO
SET an example 10 tire remainder Of
the world in the furthsrance and
maintenance Of peace, and it would
be to place the stamp of insincerity
and cowardice upon our past course,
to hastily and without exceptional
provication declare war upon Ger
many at this critical time. War, if
at all, should be positively the last
resort in dealing with the present sit
uation, and should be avoided even at
the sacrifice of some Of our dignity,
as cowardice could not possibly, un-
der existing conditions, be ascribed as
a motive.
Germany is in desperate plight,
gradually being hemmed in on all
Iron County record. [volume] (Cedar City, Utah) 1893-1982, 1915-05-28

GERMANY has taken ample time
it would appear in which to prepare
their answer to the United States note
concerning the sinking Of American
ships and the murder of American cit
liens. Judging from the long delay
in answering, it would appear that
Germany is much better prepared to
fight than to formulate diplomatic cor
respondence. Evidently they have
given much more thought and atten-
ton to this line of procedure, and
really did not expect that it would
ever be necessary for them to choose
words having a conciliatory tendency
in dealing with questions of state be-
tween themselves and other nations.
Germany is perhaps just beginning to
realize that 1t is possible to get too
much of "good thing" and without
interfering with their program Of war
fare, would like nevertheless to paci-
fly the United States for the loss of
it's citizens and ships. And 1t augurs
well for the future peace of the world
that such warlike nations as Germany
whose greatest ambition seems to
have been to become great military
power, are getting their thirst for
warfare quenched. We trust that
the draught will satisfy their longing
for several centuries to come.

GET OUT ON THE LAND, BOYS.

IF the boys and young men Of Iron
Il county who are depending upon
"odd jobs" for their living would get
hold of few acres of land, in a good
locality, team and few farm i'm
plements, and go to work energetically
and intelligently, they would soon be
far, far better off financially. 1t is
true, you would sometimes be out Of
money and would find IL hard squeez-
ing until you got well started; you
might even have to leave the farm &C.
casionally to earn money with which
to keep things going; but If you follow
this advice and persist, you will soon
have occasion to feel grateful.
Real estate is the safest and surest
investment there is in the world. Not
the high priced property in the pop
ulous cities, the value of which huc-
tuates with local business conditions,
and may occasionally drop materially
in price and then rise again, but the
unimproved or slightly improved
farming land out in the country dis
tricts. In this case, if the selection
is wise one, the value increases with
each turn of the plow, and it is a
safe and sure way Of building up a
competence. Of course, if you have
no capital to start with, your pro-
gress will depend solely upon your
selves, and hinges upon three things,
and three only: Your energy, your
intelligence, and your economy. Get
the land, even if it is upon a rental
basis with option of purchasing GER
tain quantity at given price, and
then start to cultivate these three at
ributes, and you will be surprised at
your own progress.
There is no need for any young
man to leave Iron county in order to
find home or make start in the
world. We have just as good oppor-
tunities here as are to be found any
where. Our land is attractive to peo-
pie of other states, it ought to be good
enough for the people born and raised
on it. Courage, energy and thrift are
all that is needed to convert the large
stretches of sage brush into product.
i've farms. Become factor in the
development of your native country
which is one of the richest to be found
anywhere. Your task is an easy one
when compared with that of the early
pioneers who built the roads an6
bridges, killed the snakes, fought the
grass-hoppers and crickets, built the
first houses and subdued the wildern.
ess. Make up your minds right now
to do your full share towards redeem
ing Iron county, and placing it in the
first ranks in attractiveness, produc-
tivity and morality.
And you, Mr.. Land Owner--givc the
young men a chance. Don't squat
down on 800 to 1000 acres of unim-
proved land and expect to merely hold
it until the surrounding land is de-
veloped and makes yours valuable
The man who does this is block in
the wheels of progress, and an "unde-
sirable citizen" Either cultivate your
land and make it produce, or give
some one chance who can and will!

THE MAN WHO ADvERTISEs.

There are but two classes of mer-
chants-those who advertise, and

worth adyertising-or he wouldn't
