Where Is the Incorporated and un-

This question is answered In detail
by the annual report to congress made
by the commissioner of the gen

by counties and segregating the coun-
ties by land districts. There are five
local land offices in Idaho, located at
Blackfoot, Boise. Occur d'Alene, HALEY

plains Of Idaho adjacent to the railroad
Is that southern Idaho is almost a des-
ert, then as he sees the beautiful farms
and orchards for which this section is
so famous he marvels at the contrast.
We who live in this favored region
know that water Is the great magic
ian that makes this transformation but,
when the traveller hears that this same
section is the home Of one of the largest
lumber producing plants in the west,
he Is almost convinced Of the truth OF
the saying that "all men are liars"
and not until the eyes of the traveller
behold the huge piles Of the finished
product at the mills of the Boise Fay :
cite Lumber company at Barber and
Emmett, is he finally convinced that
this at least Is true.
WHERE IT COMES FROM
The first question generally 10.
When told that the watersheds OF the
Boise and Payette rivers and tributar-
les are covered with virgin forests OF
pine, fir and larch, he begins to realize
some of the wonderful possibilities OF
this section of the Gem state.
Almost five years ago the Boise-Pay-
cite Lumber company took over the
holdings Of the Barber Lumber com
pany which had mill at Barber. This
approximately 100000 acres Of timber
land extending from the Boise Basin
north to Payette lakes.
In former years the logs were driv-
en- to the mills but this method was
considered too uncertain to maintain
steady supply of logs and, in 1914. 81
miles of standard gauge railroad was
built into the Boise Basin. This road

increased by the addition Of an extra
band saw. This mill now has three

ming two eight-hour shifts, of 250,00t
feet. This, with the erection of eigh'
| modern dry kilns, new planning mill ma

makes a very modern lumber plant.

What are Idaho's peculiar railroad
problems from standpoint Of future
construction and extension?
With the idea of getting an answer
to this question the Capital News pro-
pounded 1t to c. e. Arney. assistant
arm Pacific railroad, Spokane, together
with TIN following additional ques-
Il. What internal and external
influences today stand in the way
OF further railroad development in
Idaho either north and south. or
east end west across the state?
3. What legislation is tody on
Jdaho'e statute books that inter-
feres with the desire of railroads
to expand? What laws could be
passed TO stimulate railroad devel-
opmenS In the state?

EXTENSIONS PLANNED
s.The Northern Pacific railroad has q
small unproductive property In the
northeastern portion of Idaho, across
the range from what is generally term
ed northern Idaho. Anyone ordinarily
familiar with southern Idaho geogra-
phy. and with southern Idaho resources
developed and undeveloped, knows In
stinctively that the Gilmore g. Pitts
burgh railroad extending from Arm
stead, Mont, to Salmon, Idaho, with
q branch from Leadore to Gilmore and
detached from the Northern Pacific
property was initially built with n view
to extension. Candidly 1t Is true that
the Northern Pacific railroad company
has spent quite a half-million dollars
in surveys over various southern Ida
no counties which tie into the Gilmore
& Pittsburgh railroad.
TT must be apparent, and frankness
requires the expression of the thought
that the difficulties preventing railroad
expansion are of a national rather
tlan state scope. and that nothing thai
.,ne state would do within itself coulo
pe sufficiently comprehensive TO en-
tible a railroad to do any considerable
amount Of expansion or development
work.

At the last general election, the Non

of the political brew mixers, invaded

move divided the Democratic party
and the Republicans, who had been
barred from the statehouse two years
previously, faced divided Democracy
