There can be no doubt that inves-

that low rate and will begin to turn
to industrial enterprises, and then
there will be boom in all lines OF
production. While watching for
opportunities in industry, men with
money are putting their savings into
government securities, even at a

DAVIS DEATH NOT
TO STOP RAILROAD

There is less doubt here regarding
the construction of theIdaho Central
railroad than ever before since the
developments following the death
George L. Davis have verified SO
many statements that he made rela-
tive to the organization in San
Francisco says the Twin Falls Times.
1t is now clear that Davis was tell
ing the truth regarding the condi-
-tion of the organization there, it is
argued here.
In a telegram received this MORN
ing in response to inquiry, Newell S.
Wight, secretary of the Chamber Of
Commerce is informed by Joseph l..
Stewart, secretary of the Idaho Cen
trail organization, that the directors
have been called together for May 2,
after which they will send word here
regarding the action. Assurance is
reiterated that the death of Davis
will in no way affect the construc-
ton.
Omission of some words in the
Southern Pacific story of yesterday
made E. E. Calvin and his party ap-
pear as Southern Pacific rather than
Union Pacific. The Boise party Of
S. P. officials awaited the return Of
General Freight Agent Owen and
while they were SO doing, the Union
Pacific officials made the trip to
the west-end city. Utterances at
tributed to some Of this party at
Bull in regard to a short line be-
tween Rogerson and Wells were
similar to those uttered by Owen to
business men here. This is taken
to mean that both roads have SIM
liar ambitions and that there is a
battle between them to control the
line from Rogerson to Wells.
Others believe that the visit of the
Union Pacific men may mean that
they have decided to extend their
line westward speedily to anticipate
invasion of territory by the South
ern Pacific.
The visit of the division superin-
tendent of the Oregon Short Line to
Bull last night in a special car which
went down on the last afternoon
train and returned in the morning,
was made the basis of report today
to the effect that the Southern Paci-
fic party had arrived in Bull for a
long inspection. Another car went
down this afternoon bringing r. A.
Smith, Farmer" Smith and j. G.
Gigneaux. These will speak at
Roseworth tonight and will, it is
thought, come here in the morning
in Connection with the beet drive to
meet the committees that start from
the o. L. Swim office at 9 o'clock.
This special car also created some
talk and surmising.
A Southern Pacific party is never
the less expected soon as General
Freight Agent w. R. Owen stated
that the head officials would visit
here shortly.

THOSE WHO
HIDE

The average citizen, sometime in
life asks a favor of an editor. 1t
is either to have something left out
of the paper or something put in.
When we go to copy the marriage
licenses we frequently run across
a request not to publish some par
ticular one. We always respect
such requests, although such things
are public property. Things happen
in all communities the size of
Winnemucca that would make SEN
sational reading matter if published
and the editor could make a new
crop of enemies every week if he
would chronicle such things. When
criticised for not printing certain
things we have this answer: Write
it yourself, stating the facts, and
sign your name for publication sc
that we can share the blame with
you for having it appear in print
Or, as is sometimes the case, We
have offered to print certain things
if the party wanting them printed
would sign up an indemnifyinl
bond to fully reimburse US if dam
age suit is instituted. Besides, 8
number of people in every com
munity have things said about then
that would not look well in print
But as a rule they are usually the
very people who criticize an editor
for not publishing something that
the editor has sense enough tt
know owuld only get him into
trouble.
