LOOKING OVER 7 SALMON VALLEY
 FOR RAILROAD

c. A. Carlson, of the contract ing firm of Stems & Carlson, who have been building railroads in the United States and Canada for the past quarter of a century, arrived Sunday morning, and yesterday made a trip with Chas. F. Cald- we'll up the Salmon valley as far as Thirteen-mile, to look into the feasibility of building railroad in this section. Mir. Caldwell and Mir. Carlson have been friends since pioneer days of the Slocan country, and it was through MT. Caldwell's influence that the rail- road builder came here. The for mer, as IS well known, has had permit for two years or more for building railroad up the Salmon river, and has steadily worked on the promotion of the project, with the confidence that if tonnage to support a railroad IS not actually in sight, developments to date gsve almost practical assurance that it will be forthcoming by the time the track can be laid.
 In conversation with the Miner MT. Carlson said that according to information he had secured, build- ing a railroad up the Salmon val- ley would be a very simple mat ter compared win most of the roads in mining territory. There are no difficult engineering prob- lens to solve.
 Mir. Carlson intends leaving on the Prince of Wales for Juneau to confer with territorial officials as to the projects undertaken by his firm in Alaska. These include the construction of four miles of wagon road on Kenai peninsula, five miles at Eyak lake near Cortova and ten miles from Juneau to Tees harbor. All told, the firm of Seims & Carl son have under way at the present time contracts for the Federal gov ernment amounting to one and one- quarter million dollars.
 Mir. Caldwell said Monday night that construction Of the Salmon valley railroad in tEe near future is close to being a certainty. This weeks issue of the Miner vas made up before he and MT. Carlson re- turned from their trip up the val ley The next issue will probably contain definite information as to the project.

FARMERS WILL
HELP SELVES
THE PLAN

Washington, Dec. ia signifi-
cant move in American agriculture
was made when, after three days
session, representatives of the 225
farmers cooperative marketing as
sociations of the country Joined to-
gether in a national association for
mutual help and exchanges of infor-
nation. The purposes Of the national
organization are economic rather
than political, as has been the case
with many Of the farm movements
of late.
The amazing development that has
come in cooperative marketing of
crops by the farmers themselves was
illustrated by the fact that at the
conferences were represented organ
izations already functioning, not
merely on paper that do an annual
business of more than a billion dol
lars year and include 800, 600 farm
ers of various kinds, Where few
years ago the citrus fruit industry
of California was the outstanding
example of cooperative effort in
marketing crops, it was far over
shadowed in the conference by other
commodities.

BOND ISSUE
CARRIES TUES,
IN vANDAL|A

A bond issue of $4,000 for the
erection of new school building was
carried Tuesday in Vandalia with a
vote Of about five to one. A special
election for the purpose of voting
on this question was held on Novemb-
er IA and carried with about the
same majority but was later found
to be illegal as the State Board of
Equalization did not adjourn until
after the election which made it inn
possible to use the 1921 Svaliation
and the 1920 valuation OF property
was not large enough to justify such
large amount.
In the first election about three
hundred more votes were cast but the
ratio remained about the same. The
vote Tuesday was 500 for to 127 a.
gainst.
R. Hawkins of Springfield, Mo-, has
been chosen to prepare plans for the
building and work will be begun early
in the spring.
Seventy thousand is a large bond
issue for city the size of Vandalia
and the residents are to be congrat-
ulated on their determination to
give their children such good eudcat-
ional opportunities.
