the last round of a gruelling contest
was about to vote on the tariff act Of
1894, familiarly known as the Wilson

The bill was ready for the signature Of
Grover Cleveland-a bill he refused to

Immediately upon the announcement

ELECTRIC INTERESTS IN
EARNEST ON BIG PROJECT

Do the people Of Pocatello and east
ern Idaho want through electric rail
road system from Salt Lake to Yellow
stone park via Pocatello, or is there a
disposition to permit the big electric
combinations of the inter mountain
west to adopt another route, already
considered and in contemplation
That is the question being asked
by many careful observers in this and
other centers throughout the eastern
part of the state. A few days ago the
Tribune intimated that there was some
thing extensive in the air along the line
Of electrical development. The fusing
of the great power concerns Of the inter-
mountain west during the past three
years has spelled one thing, and that is
extension and promotion of the industry
from domestic consumption to electric
railroads.
Recent Developments have shown that
some Of the most important electrical
combinations in the west are intensely
interested in advancing eastern Idaho
and every part Of it, and they have not
overlooked the fact that Pocatello has
offered inducements, at several times,
has granted franchises and has paved
the way for a thorough local traction
system. There has been some opposi-
ti0n and many stumbling blocks, but the
situation appears to be clearing to a
great extent in the statement Of promi-
