Launch Local Movement
for o. S. L. to Take
Over Traction Line in
Near Future.

That Caldwell will lose the Jordan
Valley trade by virtue of the con-
struction OF the proposed line from
Homedale to Claytonia, that O. S. L.
officials look with favor upon the pur-
chase of the Mcneil line of the Caid-
we'll Traction company. and that the
Traction company. under receivers
direction. has been making a fair prof
it, were high lights of discussion OF
the Traction company problem at the
Commercial club luncheon at the
Manhattan cafe Wednesday
Meeting the situation as it was pre-
sented by Henry Griffiths and VIII
liam McCluskey, steps weree immedi-
ately taken looking toward turning the
line over to the Ore gon Short Line,
its extension to the Pickle Butte
bridge and its operation as a branch
OF tn O. S. l.. 1t was pointd out that
receivership for the Mcneil line was
granted only to move this years crop
and that the ultimate disposal of the
line is problem which must be met
in the near future. According to the
present plan, when this matter comes
before the state utilities commission
this month for disposal. an attempt
will be made to crystalizc the proposal
to turn the road over to the Oregon
Short Line. Mr.. McCluskey asserted
that SO far as the residents of the
Pickle Butte district were concerned,
it didn't make much difference to them
from what point they got the railroad
but that they were out for line and
they expected to get it. He outlined
briefly the traffic possibilities of the
district from an annual incoming and
outgoing standpoint.
John Smeed, in discussing the prob
ability of having the line taken over
by the O. S. L., said that he had talked
with the officials of the steam rail-
road and that they were greatly inter
ested in the possibility. Extension OF
the line to the bridge would mean
temp orarily hating any plan to build
the Homedale extension as both
would serve the same interests and
the Mcneil branch presents cheaper
and easier proposition to tap the upper
Gem district. Either line would mean
the establishment of town in the vi
cinity of the bridge.
Mr.. Griffiths, in reporting as attor-
ney for the receivership of the Trac-
ton company, reported that assets
thus far exceeded liabilities by about
5000. In addition. rather extensive
repairs had been made, including the
purchase of a carload of ties. He
warned those present, however, of the
necessity of permanently disposing OF
the future of the line saying that the
utilities commission was waiting for
word relative to its future.

Utah College Will Send
Football Team to Mix
With G.. of l. Here Fri
day Afternoon.

Brigham Young university was Sat-
urday signed for football game with
the College of Idaho at Recreation
park next Friday afternoon. Diff
Guilty in arranging games with teams

cation had somewhat discouraged
CornelPs team. Friday night the mat
ter was presented to group of local
football fans who Immediately start
ed something with the result that this
game was put on the local teams
schedule.
Last year the Utahans fell heir to
a 44-l2 trouncing at the hands of Cor
nells team. But it was the first year
that Brigham Young had ever been
represented with football team and
lack of experince at the game is con-
sidered to have been the largest single
factor in the battle defeat that was
given them last year.
This season.. Brigham Young is said
to have one Of the strongest teams
in Utah. They have been crimmaging
regularly with the Utah Agricultural
eleven and have q clean slate of VIC
tories to date, according to dope re-
ceived here. In addition, they are
more than anxious to prove that they
have more than last seasons score
indicates.
On the other hand. the college team,
has not fully recovered from the
gruelling Whitman game. Captain
Wittiborg still has his ankle in a
plaster cast and undoubtedly will no,
be able to enter the game at his regu-
lar position at right end. Huett and
Hawkes. will also probably decorate
the bench, their places in the back
field to be taken by Braskamp and
Gardiner while Eastman and Tolle.

This lineup is somewhat lighter thar
the one which played so we'll agains
Whitman but Cornell believes tina
speed and zip will more than maxi
up for the lost poundage.
| After the splendid showing mad
by the local team against the heavie
and more experienced Whitman grid
lists, it is expected that Caldwell fan
will more than be anxious to see thei
team again in action. In spite of tn
heavy guarantee incident to putting
on the Whitman game. the attendanc
: was such that the defeat is compare
lively small. A good crowd at tn
