RAIL ROUTE TO
FRISCO PROJECTED
Idaho May Have New
Outlet-Buhl Raising
$125,O0O Bonus

BUHL, Idaho, Sept. 21.-A drive
for $125,000 from business men and
farmers in the Buhl section Is now
under way. The money is being
raised by the Idaho-Nevada Holding
company and in this sections share
of the half million dollars bonus for
the Idaho Central railroad which
proposes building from Rogerson,
Idaho, to Wells, New, making the
distance from Buhl to San Francisco
72S miles, 311 miles less than by
way of Ogden.
George l.. Davis of San Francisco
president Of the road, is outlining the
plans for the proposed road to men,
bers of the local chamber of COM
merce stated that thru trains would
be run from Buhl to San Francisco
making the run in SO hours, "a
hours less than at present. In time,
he continued, it is likely the road
would be extended from Rogerson to
Buhl and west into the Bruneou pro-
ject.
While passenger trains will make
the trip quicker than by the present
route, the main advantage lies in the
enormous market will be opened for
the hay and other products that are
f. Il such large quantities in this
section of southern Idaho. The
northern Nevada cattle country will
absorbe large amount of hay and
California will also be a shipping
point with the route shortened. The
contract mining area in northern
Nevada is five times as great as the
Butte, Mont, section and the pros
poets are now very bright for devel-
opment there that will mean a large
tonnage for the railroad, it is pre-
dicted.
The bonus being raised here will
not be paid the railroad until trains
are running and the interstate COM
merce commission has issued it q
tariff sheet. The roads specifica-
tions call for high grade construction
9O-pound rails being the minimum
allowed, per cent the maximum
grade, maximum curves 10 per cent,
fiji tires by inches, 2640 to the
mile and terminals, siding etc. Con-
nectiop will be made with the Oregon
Short Line at Rogerson, and with
the Southern Pacific at Wells, New.
The road must be completed within
eighteen months from beginning of
construction, which it is reported,
will be started next month, and Mr..
Davis believes 1t will be finished
within twelve months.

OUSTED OFFICIAL
LOSES ELIGIBILITY
States Attorney Gives
Important Decision
in Arco Case

An official removed from an elec-
tive office by court decree is not
eligible for reappointment to the
same office during any part of the
unexpired term, but the removal does
not affect his eligibility to any other
office, or to a subsequent term in the
same office, according to an opinion
given Tuesday by Attorney General
Black.
The opinion is given in reply to
an inquiry from Roy R. Duke, clerk
of the district court at Arco, Ida. The
inquiry relates the instances of a
sheriff and probate judge removed
from office by district Judge, for
alleged delinquincies and popular
petition for their reappointment for
the remainder of their unexpired
terms. The question as asked, is as
follows:
Where, under the provisions of
section 1884, compiled statutes, a
sheriff and probate judge are re-
moved from office, the question
arises as follows: Are these ex-
officials, one or both, eligible to
these same Offices by appointment

Lewis Robbins
: Is Candidate For
Commissioner Job

Lewis Robbins of Moreland has
been suggested by number of peo-
pie in the Moreland country as a
successor to R. G.. Bills, and when we
rang him Friday afternoon, he re-
sponded about as follows:
II have been approached by a
number of local men, and have said
that if were wanted for that service
I would respond and do my best. I
am not one of those men that thinks
his county owes him anything. They
have already favored and honored
me in the election two years ago and
l am grateful for it. l feel that
am indebted to the people of my
county for that, and if there is any
service they want me to undertake,
l will do my best and do it gladly.
''If l am selected for commissioner
| will try to make as few mistakes as
possible, and do as many things right
as I can. l am for good roads, and
l favor building them when the
ground is moist, not dry. l favor
having them built by home people If
they will do it at the right time, and
do honest work that is worth 100
cents on the dollar. I am in favor of
putting on the rock top coat in the
winter time, and spending the money
in the districts according to the tax
levy. When I was road overseer l
refused to keep men on the job who
shirked. They had to get in and
work or get off the job.

REPUBLICANS ARE
AFTER LABOR VOTE
Boring From Within -
to Offset Gompers
Appeal
BY George R. Holmes
International News Service Staff
CORRESPONDENT


MARION, Ohio.-The Republican
campaign directors are "boring
from within" to win the labor vote
of the country and to offset as far
as possible the effect of Samuel
Gompers' appeal to labor to support
the COx-Roosevelt ticket in Novem-
ber.
In the past two weeks there has
been a stream of labor leaders thru
Harding headquarters all of whom
have assured Senator Harding that
neither President Gompers nor any
other American Federation of labor
official can deliver the labor vote to
Governor Cox. N
Fighting fire with fire the Repub-
licans have lined up a number Of
labor representatives members
of the American Federation of Labor
to spread the gospel of Republi-
canism thru labor ranks.
John I. Nolan and P. H. Mccarthy
both prominently identified with the
labor movement on the Pacific coast
assured Senator Harding a few days
ago that the Pacific coast labor will
go preponderantly for him in Novem-
Der.
Today Senator Harding had con-
ference with w. j. James, national
representative of the Illinois miners
and James also told the candidate
that Gompers could not swing labor
into the Democratic fold.
HGompers' effort will fail just as it
has always failed" said James in a
statement after the conference.
I'm the last few months | have
been in the east, Illinois, Montana,
and in Colorado and I have found
that miners who are Republicans
are staying that way and that miners
who are Democrats will support
Cox"
Due to mix up in the arrange
nlents Senator Harding had free
day today and planned to spend most
Of it working on the speeches which
he will deliver at Baltimore, Wheel
ing Ashland, KY. next week.

beyond conjecture.
And it was splendid program
that the huge throng witnessed.
There was something doing every

went with smoothnes that was not
