IDAf.O SOUTHERN RAILROAD
HAS QUIT BUSINESS
Eaby Road Rests Peacefully After :
Short But Very Stormy
Existance.

The Idaho Southern railroad has
lived its short and stormy life and now
is resting in peace. 1t was a railroad
built from Gooding to jerome, a dis
tance of "a miles, for the purpose of
supplying transportation facilities to
the settlers on the North Side tract
about Wendell and Jerome. The build
ing of the road excited the anger Of
the Short Line. which preceded to
parallel it through the North Side tract
with it's Rupert to Bliss cut off and
thus strangled the little road to death.
At the time the road was first pro-
posed a bonus was offered the COM
pany by permitting a charge of some
eight dollars extra per acre for water
rights for the lands lying within a mile
of the right of way The right of the
state to grant this bonus has been dis
puted and some of the settlers paid it
and some did not However, now that
the road has ceased to exist, the set
tiers who have paid the extra price
for the privilege of living near the
right of way are to be credited with
the excess on their water contracts
and their price will be reduced to
that of the other lands surrounding
them
1t is reported that the rails, ties
and other equipment of the road are
to be sold and the track torn up, and |
that the right Of way will be returned |
to its former owners.
This is one of the Kuhn enterprises
and deserves a better fate than has be-
fallen it.

THE CITY BEAUTIFUL

ShoshCne has beautiful residence
sections on both sides of the town.
The majestic shade trees and green
lawns invite to rest and comfort. There
are a few exceptionally well-kept
lawns and premises in the town but
the one that calls forth the most com
ment from strangers is the lawn and
flower decorations Of w. E. Biles, with
Mrs. Biles as chief gardner. The pro-
fusion of flowers woull make pretty
California scene and the
vegetable garden in the rear is gem.
All Of which shows what may be
done in a season to make the premises
on which one lives both useful and
ornamental.

weeks and extending through the
states of Oregon, Washington, Idaho

of mountains and across Idaho twice.
The two ladies travelled alone and did
their own repair and mechanical work

have it, their most troublesome acci-
dent was a blowout when within 10
minutes of the home end Of the jour-
ney ard during the heavy downpour
Of rain they had to get out and fix
the tire. But they both enjoyed the
trip to it's fullest limit.

SHOSRONE HAS
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
DISASTROUS FIRE ON MAIN
STREET LAST FRIDAY AF
TERNOON
Four Buildings turned and Loss VIII
Amount to Five of Six Thou
sand Dollars.

Last Friday about o'clock in th'
afternoon a fire started in, DR.. Baugh'
garage on Main street from some IN
knowncause and before it could b'
placed under control it had burned
Fred MasoH.. blacksmith shop, DR.
Baugh's garage and implement ware
house with a lot of farm machinery
stored in it,. Ed Roberts barn and
the small dwelling belonging to Mrs
Rasmussen.
The losses are about as follows;
Fren Monson $1,000, consisting of all
of his tools, as we'll as all of his books
and accounts.
Dr. Baugh about 5000 70 $4,000 worth
of implements and his building, which
was q large wareroom built of cor
ruga,ed iron.
Ed Roberts agout $500 consisting of
his barn, which was located just back
of the Baugh warehouse.
Mrs Rasmussen lost aoout. $4,000
consisting of her dwelling house and
its contents.
The onl yinsurance of any conse-
quence carried was $1,000 by Mrs.
Rasmussen.
AT the time of the fire Sam Adams,
George Sharp and George Sturgess
were at work in the Baugh garage
where the fire originated but each
states that when first seen the fire
was under such headway that it was
only by rare good luck that they sue
ceeded in getting DR.. 3aughs auto
out of the building.
Ed. Roberts had nothing in the
barn of any special value except his
auto which he managed to get out
before the fire reached it,
The building on the corner east of
the Rasmussen dwelling was saved !
by the most strenuous efforts of the
fire department. The Shoshone fire
department lacks organization and at
this fire did great deal of work /
hat could have been done to better
advantage under a ood leader with |
a drilled set of men, but it is doubtful
if any fire department. could have
stopped the fire sooner than it was
done and the work of the department,
under the circumstances, is decerv-
ing of the highest praise from citizens
of Shoshone
The fire resulted in a great activity
in the line of fire insurance the follow
ing few days and insurance agents r
port business god to better.

SHIPPING DEAD ANIMALS WITH
LIVE ONES

It has come to the attention of the
department of agricultural that in
some instances shippers of livestock
have violated the regulations of the
department prohibiting the shipment
of dead animals in the same car with
lives animals. The regulation, which
was adopted February 10, 1915, and
amended July l. 1916, Is as bellows:
mo dead animal shall be transport
ed, offered. or accepted for transpor-
ton in the same car with live animals
in any state or territor or the District
of Columbia to or through and other
state, territory or the District of Co
1umbia"
The foregoing regulation is binding
alike upon individual shippers. rail-
roads, and other carriers. Violation
of the regulation is punishable by a
fine of 800. The original regulation,
B. A. I. order 21O, and the later.
amended regulation. B. A. 1. order PAS,
were promptly made public, but that
it is possible that some individual ship
pers are not fsmiliar with the reguia-
ton. They should hereafter be careful
to observe it. Failure by several rail-
roads to observe the regulation has al
ready resulted in prosecutions of them
and the imposition of penalties.

Not "A Nool, Thriller.

Moving picture patrons have tired
of the average moving picture serial
that is being put out these days. The
Essanay company. realizing that. has
produced an entirely new sOrt-a Sc
ries of stories. each complete.
The Strange Case Of Mary Page" is
the tale and it is TO run for fifteen
weeks at the Columbia thea-er where
it will be shown every Monday and
Tuesday.
Henry Walthall and Edna Mayo are
the stars of this production. which is
not a dramatized dime novel. not a
mere stringing out of thrills on thin
story.
"The Strange Case of Mary Page" is
a real drama and Mr.. Walthali is with
out any sort of doubt, the greatest ac-
tor who ever appeared in a series.
So great an authority as Nachel
Lindsay, in his book The Art OF The
Moving Picture" says that Mr.. Walt
hall is the greatest actor in pictures.

Alfred appreciated the sacrifice of
grammatical corrections for the sake
of clearness. He Immediately placed
his fis, upon the longer line. By a
slight OF hand performance. the card
was presented in a different position
with the lines reversed. The decep-
ton was useless. Though somewhat
bored, Alfred again picked the right
line.
In the midst of another determina-
