Def ISSUED TO
RAILROAD OFFICIALS

Unless the surveying crews of
the Idaho Caldwell railroad, the
proposed road between Wells and
Rogerson, begin actual work within
the next two weeks, action will be
taken by the Twin Falls Chamber
of Commerce to secure the building
of the road with other capital, ac-
cording to a report published in
the Twin Falls Times, following a
meeting of the Idaho commercial
body with officials of the railroad
and interested mining men of the
district to be traversed by the
road.

WILL GUT RATE
ON COAL AGAIN

A further reduction in the freight
rate on coal from Utah and Wy
oming points, bringing the rate
down to $5.621z, will probably be
put into effect within the next
few weeks, according to advices
received by E. H. Walker, of the
traffic bureau of the Chamber of
Commerce, says the Reno Gazette.
The rate on coal to Reno prior
to April % of this year was ST.
IL per ton and this was reduced
to 1925 a ton under orders of the
interstate commerce commission.
Since this order was rendered the
railroads made further adjustments
in coal rates to meet water COM
petition and a maximum rate of sc
ton was fixed for San Francisco
and went into effect for Reno ship
ments.
On July 1 the general rate re-
duction of ten per cent ordered by
the interstate commerce commission
became effective but because of the
fact that the rate on coal had been
reduced to Sc a ton the railroads
did not apply it to coal rates in
Reno.
The Reno traffic bureau con.
tended that the ten per cent gen.
eral reduction should apply to the
1925 rate on coal and therefore
the rate to Reno should be cut
sixty-two and a half cents instead
of just twenty-five cents. The rail
roads, accordingg to Mr.. Walker
admitted that this was a proper con
tention and agreed to put in the
reduction.
The same reductions will apply
to the rates at other Nevada points
on the Southern Pacific and West
ern Pacific, it was said, as Mr.
Walker took up the question witt
the roads for other points as wei
as Reno.

Do You Know This Man

There is fellow just around the
corner who spoils many good deeds
by the manner in which he does
them. He can be counted upon at
all times to assist in worthy works {;
he contributes to all philanthropies
he would be insulted if he should be
passed by when any one is raising
a fund for a meritorious cause.
And yet, he is so disagreeable in
his manned that it takes the joy out
of his deeds of kindness.
Usually he insults the first per-
son who approaches him for con-
tribution for any cause. He sneers
at the cause and doubts it's SINGER

sideration of this proposition has
there been brought to your atten-
ton from any authoritative source
definite and concrete proposition
to buy this power; that is, from the
city of Los Angeles or from any
other local power market?
Secretary Hoover. Yes; there are
three or four groups interested in
this power question. 1t is one of
the most contentious parts of the
whole business, but it did not seem
to me that it is vitality necessary
to make up your minds now as to
what we should do three, FIVE, or
ten years hence. The power will
be wanted more then than now.
Mr.. Smith of Idaho. When this
matter is presented to Congress it
is very important that we have
some definite assurance as to how
the government is to be reimbursed,
because that is the problem that
cOntrontS us IN connection with
every irrigation project we suggest,
namely, when will the government
get its money back?
Mr.. Ranker. In addition to that,
the public will want some definite
assurance through legislation that
no one particular individual, if
authority is given to dispose of it,
will get hold of this power for 40 OF
80 years and monopolize it. That
phase of it must be carefully con-
sidered.
Secretary Hooevr. But you have
a double protection there because
all the power in the United States
is now distributed subject to pub
lie utility control as to rates and
everything else.
Mr.. Sinnott. If there are no
more questions to be asked Mr..
Hoover, we thank him very much.
Mr.. Secretary, your statement has
been very Illuminating.

THE PARADE

ity He will not contribute a single
penny, he says, and doesn't want to
be bothered with such things.
But, before the total amount sub
scribed is announced, he manages
to edge his way in somewhere to
send contribution, or to give it
grudgingly, to whoever has nerve
enough to call the second time
usually someone who knows him
and understands him, for no one
who did not know him would run
the risk of being insulted the
second time.
The fellow around the corner
is missing great deal in life
failing utterly to secure all to
which he is entitled.
Any man who is not cheerful is
cheating himself. No one can af-
ford to give a penny of a fortune
with snarl.
There is no bitter-sweet blending
in performing good deeds. One
must either accept the bitter or
enjoy the sweet.

The dull days of summer, the va
cation period and the general slow
ing down in business is at hand.
Winnemucca, with all other COM
munities will adjust herself to the
summer apathy. just at present
there seems to be a widespread
spirit of unrest and uncertainty,
but, through a rift in the clouds
the Sunshine of better days is
discerned by the optimist and the
fellow with courage. The big coal
strike, the railroad strike, the COM
ing weeks of summer dullness,
combine to slowing down that
gives the pessimist an opportunity
to chant his mournful tune. But
the fellow who will reap the reward
in the coming autumn is the fellow
who takes advantage of this present
period to get his machinery oiled
and ready; his shelves filled with
merchandise and plans made for
the good times coming. 1t is the
chap who keeps, hustling when
others slacken in their work that
gets ahead and achieves success.
Little old Winnemucca can stand
whatever may come in the next
two months much better than the
crowded cities can stand it, and we
who are fortunate enough to dwell
in this wonderful community will
get through this hot, dull summer,
a lot easier than the thousands who
must tread the sun-baked streets
of the cities.

LEAGUE OF AMERICAN PEN
WOMEN,

The League OF American Pen Women
Inc, holds its silver jubilee, biennial
convention and book fair at the Ward
man Park Hotel, Washington, D. c.,
April 1928.
Twenty-Five years ago a group of
II women planted the roots Of the
League of American Pen Women in the
illustrious soil Of the nations capital,
visioning at the time that the logical
place for national organization was
the capital of the United States. Wo-
men only were eligible for active mem
bership who were engaged profession
ally in the creative work Of the pen,
pencil and brush, or who, for associate
membership, could prove sustained eff
fort. From this group has grown an
organization having representation in
all parts of the United States, main
tanning a national headquarters at
Washington, d. c., with branches in
is OF the largest cities and carrying on
it's rolls over L50o writing women and
others engaged in kindred creative
work.
among these names is that of the
first lady OF the land. Mrs. Harding

MORE HEALTH WORKERS

That national prosperity must rest
first upon a basis Of sound public
health was the underlying conviction
of the meeting. It was pointed out that
one OF the reasons for the effectiveness
OF Americas suddenly raised and
quickly trained army in the war was
its unusual healthiness. Typhoid was
practically unknown, social diseases
were OF O. less percentage than Is found
