ONLY GOVERNMENT
OWNED RAILROAD

Boise, Sept. 2.-President Woodrow
Wilson controls at least one railroad
and has the authority TO. issue passes
over it. He is by virtue OF his office.
official president of the only standard
gauge railroad in the United States
built and operated by the government.
1t is the Arrowrock line, constructed
by the Reclamation Service TO carry
supplies from Boise TO the largest If
rigation dam in the world, the Arrow
rock. located 20 miles above this city.
And it is a paying common carrier
from the earnings of which q surplus
has been turned back into the United
States treasury. This road is in oper-
alton now and has been for the past
four years, having been built in 1911.
When the gigantic task Of erecting
the Arrowrock dam across the Boise
river was conceived the problem OF
transporting the supplies to its site had
20 be solved. This resulted in the de-
cision TO build the railroad. It was
constructed with maximum grade
OF IL per cent and maximum eur =
ature Of II degrees, up the Boise river
canyon and was success from the
start II IL now In constant operation

would have been seriously handicapped
in erecting this dam, 851 feet high and
weighing over million tons.
Since its operation this road has
earned net surplus of s62, 334O9, or q
higher percentage considering the dist

ROY BAILEY's GOOD IDEA
saIina Newspaper Man Has Plan for
Safety

Kansas needs some rules Of the
road" to govern automobile traffic
over her highways, according to
Roy F. Bailey, OF the salina Jour
nal. In letter received yesterday at
the office OF Governor Capper at
Topeka, Bailey calls attention to
the fact that Salina averages one
automobile accident a week, ana
most of them result from failures
to observe the ordinary rules of the
road.
at struck me that 1t might be
possible for the state to adopt some
legislation along this line" suggests
Bailey. IF the road laws were
uniform and drivers OF cars were
required to take out a drivers IL
cense before driving, 1t would give
q chance to have them pass an ex-
animation on the road laws.
"They would then have to make
a study Of the road laws, and the
dangers from fortgetfulness Of the
ordinary laws of the road would be
minimized. believe some such
scheme that is practical can be
worked out. The auto has come to
stay, but It seems to me that we
might as we'll take a few steps to
cut down the number Of accidents"
"Mr. Bailey's suggestion seems to
be a good one" said the governor.
1--WE will try to work out some
thing of the kind by the time the
next legislature meets"
