SHORT RAILROAD LINK OPENS
NEW CROSS.COUNTRY ROUTE

Completion of the extraordinary
148-mile railroad link from San
Diego, Calf, to Yuma, Ariz., whose
final spike has just been driven at
Carriso Gorge, opens a new trans
continental route. This curious line,
whose brief course runs from 1861
feet above sea level to forty-nine
feet below it. Its cost was about
$18,OO0,0O0 or $4,000 a mile. By
reason Of its dip into Old Mexico to
avoid an impenetrable mountain
range, east Of San Diego, it assumes
an international character. 1t short
ems the route across the country
good many miles, by connecting with
a trunk line at Yuma. Mountain
passes, tunnels, viaducts and desert
all are crowded into it's abbreviated
measure.

THE IDAHO REPUBLICAN

Washington had tried to save their
necks by ordering postponements Of
execution until there had been q
Washington inquiry into the regular
ity of the proceedings.
Now the strange feature of this
remarkable episode is that Judge
Medler seems not only to have sur
vived his rash action, but even to
stand higher than before in the es-
TEEN of his constituents. Yet he had
brazenly refused to have his decisions
handed down from the thrOne-room
of the White House, and even worse
than that, he had carried his irrever-
ence to the verge of blasphemy by
speaking lightly Of watchful waiting
itself! Moreover, so far as we are
informed, he has not even been Of
ficially branded as either a pygmy
mind or contemplate gutter, al
though it is plain as pikestaff that

Upon the old question of whether

ing light is thrown by the recent ex-
periments of a French bacterilogist.
He is able to report that his bacteria

displayed unusual resistance to cold,

AS laid out on the laboratory table,
and described and illustrated in Pop

ANCIENT FALLS OF NIAGARA
FOUND BY CANAL DIGGERS

Niagara Falls. natures American
masterpiece. is merely the successor
to grander cataract that, aeons ago,
shook the forests about the present
site Of Thorold, Antario. This opin-
ion is held by several engineers who
have inspected the local excavations
for the new Welland ship canal.
Here, ten miles south of Lake On
tario and the same distance west of
the present waterfall, precipitous
lodges have been uncovered, over
which water from Lake Erie Is
thought to have poured in seeking
the lower level. In support Of this
theory is adduced the remarkable
evidence OF the rocks themselves,
these bearing unmistakable signs of
erosion thru countless years.

PICTURE SCREEN
BREAKS ALL SIZE RECORDS

Screen pictures of heroic size are
exhibited in an extraordinary outdoor
theater which has been installed at
an Ohio race track. The heavily
braced screen measures 1872 by 165
feet over all, the projection surface
being 100 by rs feet, and visible to
an audience Of 10000. The throw"
from lantern to screen is 315 feet.
An interesting experiment was the
exhibition of clear motion pictures on
the giant screen with a standard-size
machine, breaking all projection
records.

NEARLY TWO HUNDRED
SHOTS TO SINK CONCRETE SHIP

Fire attacked cargo of coal in an
American concrete ship lying at an
Choir in the harbor of Lisbon, POrtu-
gal. few weeks ago, and in half an
hour it had gained such Roadway
that other shipping was endangered,
and lie became necessary to sink the
vessel. At this seemingly simple
task, Portuguese gunboat worked
all night. firing the astonishing total
of 1S9 shells into the 300O-ton stone
hull before it finally listed and went
down in the deep water at the mouth
OF the Tagus. river. The glow of the
burning vessel, and the warship's
desperate bombardment, made a
spectacle that kept thousands of ex-
cited spectators in suspense for
hours.

AN UNWAITING COURT

On the night of the ninth of Marcel
1915 says Harvey's Monthly, a merry
band of one of the innumerable
'istas" of which our genial neighboi
on the south is so prolific, dashed
across the Rio Grande, swooped down
upon the peaceful little town of Col.
umbus, N. NJ, killed eighteen unof.
Tending American citizens at their
very thresholds, wounded nearly as
many more and INDUCED in a jolly
spree of murder, arson and robbery.
This caused a good deal of comment
thruout the country. The conduct of
the Mexicans met with general dis
approval. But, as we were watch
fully waiting at the time, why, of
course, there was nothing We could
do save to continue to wait watch
fully; which we have been doing ever
since.
But now, it appears, the incident,
in the judgment of the authorities
at Washington, really imperilled our
standing in the esteem of our Mexi-
can neighbOrs. This information
comes from Judge E L. Medler, of
New Mexico, who testified on the SUBJ
ject a few days ago before the fall
senate committee.
1t seems that seven Of the rOllick-
ing Mexican blades, who took part in
that little frolic in Columbus were so
unfortunate as to get caught in the
act. Notwithstanding our undeni-
able notwithstanding status, the
Columbus authorities ventured to de-
tain them. They even went so far as
to indict them, and in due course
they were brought to trial. The Judge
before whom they were arraigned
was- this same Judge Meder whose
has just revealed the pain
ful anxiety of the Washington auth
Drities lest these spirited visitors
from Mexico be not as tenderly and
considerably treated as the ethics of
rue watchful waiting demanded.
Judge Medler told the Fall COM

department of justice. came to him

Anderson Is Joker

Robert Anderson is one OF the
Anderson Lumber company having
lumber yards in Utah and Idaho, and
was one of the speakers at the ma
tional convention of lumbermen at
Boise recently. RE and his people
have been engaged in the lumber and
saw mill business in Cache valley
since the days when to be a saw mill
man was to be in disgrace, the same
as it was a disgrace to be a sheep
man.
Mr.. Anderson tells story of two
men who had quarrel in the old
days, and one of them abused the
other for all he could lay his tongue
to, and then said, land besides all
that. wish you owned a saw MILL
That was the worst fate he could con-
sign man to, was to own and have
to operate a saw mill under the con-
ditiOns existing in those times.
The Boise Statesman in reporting
the meeting said among other
Things: '''
OF all the speakers, Rober As,ler-
son was greeted with the most an
plause upon his appearance, and
purely by way of encouragement, It
was explained. He was presented
with an arm bouquet of carnations by
one of the ladies present, before he
began.
Speaking on Creating business by

Mr.. Anderson gave some suggestions
which might we'll be adopted by
