1t requires no great largeness of
vision or depth of foresight to gauge
the great material, economic and social
advantages to be brought about by
linking the two now remote-and to
some extent, hostile--sections of the
state through the construction of this
great commercial highway The po-
tential developments of the region to
be traversed by the road are very great,
and the legislature which inaugurates
this work will hand down to posterity
the most valuable asset in the posses
sion of the state.
Under existing conditions of what is
termed hostile legislation, we cannot
expect private capital to engage in new
railroad construction, and if we are to
have railroad line to connect the two
isolated section of our state, it must
be built by the state. We cannot in
definitely stand apart. The necessity

hands. Wonderful as the growth of
the state of Idaho has been through
federal aid in promoting irrigation In
the arid belts, yet its progress has been
slow In proportion to the almost fabu-
lous resources of which the state is pos
sessed. in comparison with the growth
of neighborin" states less well endowed
with natural resources. This is chiefly
owing to the difficulty of access and
the little that is known of the resources
of the Idaho hinterland. But though
looming to Importance slowly, it is easy
to conceive what the future has in store
when the state is linked together with
rapid transportation facilities.
Necessary to Development.
The first great necessity for growth
and development is railroad communi-
cation connecting the north and south,
linking up each with the other, the
great transcontinental railroad sys-
TENS which traverse the state in the
north and in the south. Our past po-
litical history shows repeated attempts
to disintegrate the state of Idaho, and
here is no true security for future
unity and stability but in the easy and
direct communication with the differ
emit sections of the state. We must SO
live that we can see and know each
other, and the sections must be knit
and igatured by the ties of material
interest and friendship which come
from acquaintance, association and col
iective interests, thus forming triple
chain which the blows of faction can
not sever. In such a condition the feel
ings of unity and state pride form an
shield which eannaf ha

Water Power Available.

Ample water power, cheaply develop

line of the proposed railroad, suggests
the thought that these power sites should
be located by the state and developed
sufficiently for the installation of

The livestock industry, under existing
conditions, is the most important fea-
ture attending the present development
of the Salmon river country.
The acreage owned by the state on
the east side of the Salmon river drain
age basin, directly tributary to the pro-
posed road, is 26,040 acres. The land
on the west side of the river is 1880
acres. The commercial values of these
lands will be largely increased by the
construction of the proposed road.
While the bars and benches along the
river are generally narrow, they are
very. fertile and in high state of cul.
tivation, and these places comprise the
bulk of the land in cultivation along
the river. On the table lands, however,
is very large acreage of land, the
soil of which is as fertile and produc-
tive as the best of the prairie lands in
northern Idaho. We estimate that
about per cent only of the land avail
able for cultivation, contiguous to the
Salmon river, is in cultivation.
An important feature to be taken
into consideration in connection with
the construction of the proposed rail
road bed is the Nez Perez Indian re-
servation, which comprises approx
mately 1000 square miles of territory.
This land lies in Idaho, Lewis, Nez
Perez and Clearwater counties. The
total area of the Indian allotments is
135,762 acres. OF these Indian allot-
ments, about 100000 acres are agri-
cultural OF the agricultural land,
about 10000 acres are leased and
about 5000 acres are cultivated by In
dams. The trust period extending over
the majority of the Indian allotments
expires in 1920. At the expiration of
the treaty unless the same is renewed
for another period of IS years, it is a
certainty that the greater proportitn Of
these lands will pass into the hands of
actual resident white citizens, thus
materially increasing the population
and taxable property of the several
counties. Increased population will
necessarily increase the number of

Death Hovers Near Ethel.

Ever since she succeeded In in
weighing Lieutenant Baum into reveal
ing to her the secret of the fork In the
road, Ethel had waited her opportunity
to telephone the news to the French
front 1t seemed to her that the Ger
man intruders would never leave the
public room, even for five minutes.
Meanwhile she had lowered near. And
at last she was convinced that the
coast was clear.
Cautiously she opened the door and
,JeeYed inside. she saw no one. So she
stepped into the room. For just few
moments she hesitated, to assure her
self that there was a lull in the move
ments of the enemy. Apparently they
had withdrawn TO spruce themselves
up after their long march.
She nerved herself to her task.
She stole to the fireplace, glanced
over her shoulder for one last hurried
survey of the room. and reached her
hand out for the instrument She had
barely taken 1t up when she heard the
command
"Haltw
Ethel turned. To her startled eyes
the room seemed suddenly full OF sol
diers. And giving. little cry, she
dropped the telephone upon the floor.
Lieutenant Baum confronted her
sternly.
"You are a spy for the Frenchr' he
said.
mo, mol Let me explain~
He ignored her protest.
"Loadp' He snapped out the order
TO his men. And as they obeyed Ethel
cried:
"No, no, no. For Gods sake don't
shoot me like thatr' Trembling. she
stood there. while they covered her
with their rifles.
Then another cry of "HaltP' rang
out. This .ime the command came
from the doorway. 1t was Larry Red

was in devilish tight hole. And rach
his brains as he would, he could think

said another word, Ethel leaped from
behind the cigar counter with her re

Streetman wheeled about in amaze

scattered wits Captain Redmond hac
wrested the German spy's revolver
from him.

Streetman heard him with increasing
wonder.

"Then you know Captain RedmondH

for the information he only now be

He saw everything clearly at last.
