SHORT Line
IMPROVING

The Short Line started construc-
tion on an extension of switch We'd
nesday, to extend from the sugar fac
tory to the water tank. They tried
operating with only one track oppo-
site the depot, but the difficulty of
handling passenger trains meeting
here at one or two in the morning
and at $3.50 in the afternoon brought
about the extension of the line so
they can pass without waiting.
Roadmaster McGonigle was in
town on Tuesday morning and In
speaking of the work said they al
ways have to build some new tracks
in Blackfoot each year. When they
think they have enough for num-
ber of years, they have to come back
soon and plan for some more. The
switches now reach from the Black
foot river to some distance above the
sugar factory.

gave a casual report as to the number
of families at Pingree, and on looking
over the territory more carefully we
find we had our figures entirely too
low. Settlers go to Pingree to buy
goods from considerable distance, and
the plains from Snake river north
ward seem to be about all taken up
to the Taber settlement on the Mac
kay branch. Going in that direction
it would be hard to tell where the
Pingree settlement ends and Taber
begins. Nobody seems to want to
sci! cut, and a good many want to
buy more land before 1t goes any
higher. An auctioneer would starve
to death at his trade, but he could
change his occupation any day at Pin
gree. We met one farmer who was
at once a knocker and a booster. He
did not look with favor upon the edi-
tor visiting the farmers and studying
up the country for publication. When
pumped" as to why he felt that way
about it, he revealed the fact that he
is trying to get some money together
to buy more land and If the word
gets out about the resources and pos
|sibilities of the Pingree country,
somebody else might get ahead Of
him in his expected purchase. We
found he had turned several sales
and cleaned up good margin on
each one.
The Crystal Springs Fish ranch,
some Ave or six miles southwest Of
Pingree, has 10000 trout now in
stock verying in sizes from about four
inches to two feet. The greatest
number are seven or eight inches In
length and are growing rapidly and
are in fine condition. 1t Is said to
be larger hatchery by a few acres
than the one in Pennsylvania that has
heretofore been rated the largest in
the world. Shipments of trout are
being made to several cities and
towns.
Settlers feel the need of steel
bridge over Snake river opposite Pin
gree, and geographically and CONNER
cially they appear to be next in line
after completing the one at Baugh's
ford opposite Springfield.

the whole state, and the sensational
trial which followed was closely
watched. The trial was before the
Judge who became notorious in the
famous Carl Machald insanity case,
and who was political enemy of
Trego. Every trick known in the
gentle art of persecution was resorted
to by the gang of shysters who for po-
litical reasons wished to accomplish
ruination of Mr. Trego, financially,
politically and in his good name. Pub
lie sentiment was assiduously worked
up against him and, of course, under
such circumstances his conviction fol-
lowed.
1.-THE state supreme court, however,
refused to become party to such
notorious mal-administration of JUS
,tice, and in decision that has be-
come as famous as the case, reversed
the trial court and severely scored
both the court and the witnesses for
the state, especially one, Rev. o. P.
Christian, formerly superintendent of
the Children's Home at Boise, from
which institution the alleged victim
was taken into the home of Mr.. Tre-
go. This man Christian, it has been
learned from reliable authority. was

PINCREE FARMERS HAR-
vest HEAVY CROPS

Peter Rogers, the blacksmith, has
been in the hospital with fever for
some time.
Settlers have been sowing as much
fall grain as they could and keep up
with their other work. There are
mo empty houses and no idle men.
Beets have been loading at the rate
of about $50 tons a day until the
beet dump was erected. The carload
of materials for it got side tracked
and delayed somewhere and construc-
.tion work did not begin until the
twenty-sixth of October. 1t was COM
pleted in about a week. and teams
unload with greater dispatch and
little labor
Erastus Young has just completed
barn on his farm.
c. A. Swope, the merchant, has
erected an engine house and installed
a feed grinder.
Teams are in demand at good
prices for fall work, and cases have
come to light where men made trips
to Blackfoot to haul out coal some
18 or 20 miles when they could Sc
cure it al the local store at Pingree
by paying 25 or so cents ton above
the price charged in Blackfoot. If
taken from the car at Pingree, the
difference in price Is only 25 cents
We suggest that the merchant ad-
vertise his coal and that the farmers
read his announcements and save
money. If Mr.. Swope had the loyal
trade of the home people in all the
lines he carries he could soon afford
to stock up with other lines. We
also observe that people are not care
full to post all the mail they can at
the Pingree post office. Mr.. Swope
consented to handle the mail on con-
dition that the settlers turn all the

That is the only pay he receives for
the carloads of mail that
come to the office for the settlers,
and when they post their outgoing
mail at the train or other places, it
simply beats Mr.. Swope out of his
pay.
Farmers who sowed their fall
wheat before the rains of the first
week in September have 1t up now,

The sugar company installed beet
dump at Virden switch, two miles
above Pingree to accommodate farmers
who were too far from either Pingree
or Rockford. That makes ten beet
dumps on the branch or one every

MAN the pumps" was the cry in
the city jail this morning, and this
afternoon prisoners were still labori-

The outlet pipe from the Jail refused
to carry off the water and, it steadily
backed up during the morning. For
the second time since the heavy rain
started, more than three feet of water
covered the floor of the Jail at one
time today, and prisoners and officers
were wading about with trousers
rolled up. The water backed into the
cells and almost touched the bottoms
of the hunks. The concrete floor and
walls, with the rain standing three
feet deep, gave the place the appear

FORT SHAFTER, Dec 28.--Since
Christmas eve Fort Shafter has been
deluged with rain and the downpour
has cut of communication between
the cantonment and the main post,
and practically marooned the garri
son.
Shortly after the rain began the dry
bed of a stream became regular
mountain torrent and the road was
flooded. The road is now three feet
under water and the big truck which
runs from the post to the street car
line has ceased to run. The only way
to reach the main post from the can
torment is to wade in three feet of
water or use vehicle pulled by army
mules. ALI bridges on the road have
been washed away and at places
where the stream crosses the road it
looks like young Niagara. The
stream is in many places more than
100 yards wide.
Roads in the cantonment are sea
of mud and water and practically i'm
passable.
Slight damage has been done at
Shafter by the storm in several ways,
damage to the roads being the prin-
cipal item.

raise the question why that govern

for the demands set forth in its note

stances of the discriminating events
upon which IL itself lays stress and
why in lieu thereof il referred to an
exchange of correspondence. which it
has conducted with another govern,
ment In other cases.

Is the less able to follow the Wash

since It by no means possesses anthem
tic knowledge of all of the pertinent
correspondence Of the government of
the United States, nor is II Of the opin-
ion that such knowledge might be suf-
ficient for 1t in the present case, which
in so far as 1t is informed, is in es-
sential points Of another nature than
the case or cases to which the gov
eminent of the United States seems
to allude. The imperial and royal
government may therefore leave it to
the Washington cabinet to formulate
the particular points Of law against
which the commanding officer Of the
submarine is alleged to have offended
on the occasion of the sinking of the
Ancona.
The government of the United
States has also seen fit to refer to
the attitude which the Berlin cabinet
assumed in the aforementioned cor.
respondence. The imperial and royal
government finds in the much esteem
ed note no indication whatever Of the
intent with which this reference was
made. Should, however, the govern.
ment of the United States thereby

to the effect that prejudice OF what.
ever nature existed for the imperial

derstandings, declare that, as mat
ter of course, il reserves to itself full
