Plans have already been started for
the county fair this fall. A week

a representative of tile last year 5
fair organization appeared and asked
that the organization take steps to-
ward boosting the fair for 1915. say
ing that the members OF the board
for last year bad completed their
work, balanced their books and wish-
ed to be released, and that the board
had found from experience that the
quicker a new hoard took hold and
began TO plan the work for the con-
ing fair the more successful would be
the outcome; as in order TO make the
fair a success work must begin i'm
mediately Mr.. Meitzlet, who was
treasurer of The organization last year
and who represented the members at
the meeting, said that the outgoing
members thought the new members
should be appointed at once and ask
ed that tile chairman of the assoela-
ton appoint them.
a fter othe plans had been discuss
ed this plan was adopted as the most
feasible and President Greene was
asked to appoint the executive
officers: President, Vice President

Larceny WAS a crime under the

the fsloueous taking, stealing, OF
carrying away OF the personal proper

many persons who converted 10 their
own use, money, or property which
had been entrusted to them escaped
punishment, because there was no
Teloneous taking. The property hay-
ing come lawfully toto their possess

FUNDS SECURED

The Engineering News, published
weekly in New YoTk, under date Of
Feb. 4, under the heading "Rail-
ways" contains the following "ida-
ho-Western Pacific Ry. B. +. Bush,
president, announces that funds for
construction of the Boise-Winnemuc-
CO branch OF the road have been se-
cured, and construction will soon be
started. L. j. Wyche, San Francis
co, Cal, is chief engineer
The above, taken from a magazine
having the standing Of the enigneer-
ing News, is regarded as a strong in-
dicatIon that Idaho Is to see some
railroad development this year and
that construction work on the long
looked-for Boise -Winnemucca line Is
soon to be started. II is known that
Mr. Wyehe recently took trip over
the proposed route and that under
certain conditions the directors Of
the road we're offered money with
which to build it.
On one OF two former occasions the
Engineering News has mentioned the
Boise. e.Winnemucca line, once relative
to survey for the line stating that
a man was In tie east seeking to In
terest capital to finance the line
Their statement In the last issue,
however, is the first positive declara.
tion that the line is to be built.
The fact that the Engineering
News will not publish anything un-
less 1t has authentic information.
would indicate that it has received
first hand information relative to the
railroad enterprise, which means the
opening of a new western territory.
The above article from the Capita
News Of last week Is strengthened by
the following clipping from the Sat
Francisco Chronicle OF Sunday, Feb
10th, under the he lding, "Is Hill
