gan & Idaho railroad is reported to be
working on plans for the extension of
the lines of the company from Preston,

HazeItOn VIII Incorporate - The
town of Hazelton in the west end of
the county, is showing a number of
permanent improvements and growing
rapidly. Two blocks of cement side
walk are now in use and a new three
room concrete business block has just
been enclosed and is being completed
as rapidly as the material arrivals will
permit. The citizens are preparing to
incorporate their prosperous little city
into a village, and on Monday of this

requiring only 200 to complete the full
list. AS soon as the incorporation is
completed and the organization per-
fected, effort will be made to secure a
water works system for the city, and
large amount of concrete sidewalks
will be added.-Rupert Record.

present car shortage, the most serious
affecting the railroads of the country
for ten years, is causing no great in

without any difficulty, it is said AS
far as has been learned, local dealers
are in no danger of experiencing a coal
famine, such as Boise papers say is
seriously threatened at the capital city
on account of shortage of cars at the
mines.-Nampa Leader-Herald.
Cold Does Damage at Burley-The
old wave that struck this section last
week caught many unawares and re-
suited in considerable damage to per-
hable farm products. The heaviest
loss is on potatoes and sugar beets, If
the latter proves a loss. Some few
farmers had not dug their potatoes,
and as a result of the cold will lose

against the early frost, and some dam
age resulted. The most serious stu

sugar beet crop, fully twenty-five per
ent of which is still in the ground.
While the frost does not injure the
