RAFT RIVER BRANCH
OPENS UP RICH LANDS

The building Of the Raft River
10. S. L. branch opens up for work
ing a rich, dry farm section that has
produced paying crops Of grain for
years. But it has been sparsely set
tied and ~undeveloped because Of lack
of transportation facilities.
We can locate a few Of the first
Corners on vacant land and have some
very cheap ACCOMPLISHMENTS. A few
tracts of decided land as cheap as $12
and SIS per acre. Some splendid
openings in the new town at the
terminus of the road. Empire Land

a plant, the cost of installation to
be paid from the profits. At one
time such a plan was suggested and
negotiations were pending when the
war In Europe interfered with the
market for raw materials used by the
company which made the overture
Tor the construction of such a plant.
Convict labor has been used by the
state highway commission and state
prison commissioners upon the Sho-
snone grade last year and at White
Dlrd this year. The distance from
the pe%nitentiary in both these cases
has been such that only the most re-
liable TRUSTEES could be sent out on
this work. In the cause of humanity
the state should have an operating
plant OF some sort inside the prison
walls as the convict road labor does
not employ a sufficient number of
convicts. not because of a lack of
work for them, but because of the
risk involved in their employment
outside the walls.
Taxation

added powers of tax commission
by constitution amendment. Present
OF equalizing state taxes in

state board Of equalization have
little time to study taxation prob /

The newest national party has

Muhse and June Pincus arrived IN
Bose last week an3 began to ID:
plans for covering the state, one to
take the north part and the other all
south of the Salmon river. They
do not expect the women voters
of the west to vote solidly in favor
of national suffrage, but hope to get
a good many. They feel that the
only way to win the ballot is thru the
federal amendment. Two representa-
tives of the women's party have gone
into every suffrage state.
