NEW ROUND HOUSE

Nampa, March 2O.-The newly con-
structed round house of the Oregon
Short Line Railroad company in this
city was put into use yesterday. The
machine shops now in course of con-
struction will be completed within the
next few days. Something like an ade-
quate idea of the import of the round
house to the city in the way of paw
roll may be had from the fact that 40
mechanics are kept busy the greater
part of the time working on the SO
engines which make the local yards
their headquarters.
In the past much of this work has
been done in Pocatello, but since the
provision of these accommodations in

shifted here.

ated by cattlemen because of the re-
cent heavy snow has caused the price

these prices will hold, but will become
normal as soon as warmer weather
comes. Top hogs reached $1s per hum

ANOTHER WEEK IN
 CITY CAMPAIGN |S
 WITHOUT INCIDENT
Reports That Weatherly Would Run for President Quieted By Positive
 Refusal

Another week opens today in the
 campaign for the presidency of the
 city commission without any devel- opments of importance. The lineup of candidates remains
 unchanged with four contestants in
 the field: President Ward c. B. Rog-
 CTS, pr. N. A. Barrett and Commis- soner Barber.
 It is known that some important
 conferences have been under way dur
 ing the past few days which may
 have an important bearing on the sit uation, but nothing of their tenor has been divulged.
 For several days there have been
 rumors that a large delegation would
 wait upon Commissioner Weatherly and insist that he run for president of
 the commission. but 1t was understood last night that this plan had been
 abandoned because of the positive dec-
 laration of MT. weatherly that under no circumstances would he be cam didate.
 It is also understood that the friends and supporters of MT. Rogers have been especially active in the at tempt to line up elements of strength which 1t is realized will be ins~ortant factors in the campaign. MT. Wards | friends have also been unusually ac- 1 tive. Several meetings were held dur 1 ing the week in his interest and his | voluntary campaign committee has | been making its plans to get the max I mum vote for their man both from | the city and from the suburbs. 1 Dr. N A. Barrett of East Lake has also developed much strength, espe- | Cio11v In inc S11burbS among all Of l which there Is feeling that it is time l for the suburban sections to have a
 man at the head of the commission. Mir. Barber is apparently conducting | his campaign quietly and in his own | way.
 1 As for the associate commissioners new names are being heard for these places every few days and between now and September 8, the date for | closing the entries, several more well 1 known men are expected to get into l the race.

Especial mention was made of the situation in Colorado several years ago which was adjusted through the eff forts of John D.
