hilated by modern methods of travel
so 100 miles, once a long distance,
IS now a mere jaunt.
But 100 miles can mean a lot,
even today, depending on the terri
tory traversed and the objective OF
the mileage. We know of less than
100 miles that menas so much to
southern Idaho, one can hardly COM
pute it in dollars and cents-the
stretch of railroad to be built by the
Union Pacific from Rogerson to
Wells, Nevada. This road will con-
meet southern Idaho more directly
with the California markets and the
Panama canal by junction at Wells
with both the Southern Pacific and
the Western Pacific.
One trouble with our production
is that it is forced to seek far away
markets. The executives of the only
railroad in south Idaho, the Union
Pacific, have succeeded in creating far
away markets for a lot of produce,
but the distance is so great as to in
yolve heavy transportation charges
under the most favorable possible
conditions.
The west, and particularly Cali
fornia, is our most natural market.
California is growing so fast that
its markets should consume such a
large proportion of Idaho produce
as to clean up much of our surplus
every year. The Rogerson-Wells line
is the magic connection that will
make access to that big consuming
territory possible-this 100 miles of
railroad.
There is a disposition in some
minds to damn the raiload - after
we get it. We are mighty glad to
get it, though. Without transporta-
tion there can be no production
worth while. South Idaho is IA
vored in having a splendidly built up,
equipped and operated railroad. 1t
is a profitable enterprise. If it were
not it would not be a credit to us.
And it could give us no such service
as we demand. This territory will
need more railroad transportation.
1t will come as business here justifies
the construction-and business wild
grow in harmony with the enterprise
and spirit of our people. The growl-
ing, fault-finding, trouble making
kind do not produce business. The
other kind do, Why not be the
"other kind" and get more of these
desirable facilities?

tract, someone who does not live
there, someone who does not now
own any land or interest there,
someone who is not working for the
best interest of the people of Idaho,
will be instrumental in its consum-
nation; and be as charitable as
can, it will be hard to convince me
there is not some Interior motive be-
hind such propaganda, provided wa
ter can be brought to the Mountain
Home-Sunnyside tract at a reason
able cost.

FINE GIFT FOR
L. A. LOWRY

L. A. Lowry, who left this week
for Pasadena, Cal, where he expects
to make his home in the future, was
the recipient of a beautiful gift from
his co-workers in the Golden Rule
Store last Saturday. The testimonial
was a beautiful leather suitcase,
which was handed over to the sur
prised gentleman with few words
of heartfelt regret that he was taking
his departure.
Mr.. Lowry was greatly affected by
the gift, and says he will treasure it
greatly in the years to come.

CaIexicO Worried
Over New Ruling
on Crossing Line

CALEXICQ, April 12.-The rul-
ing made by the treasury depart
ment requiring individual registra
ton certificates for each vehicle
crossing the international line is ex-
pected to play havoc with business
men in this city.
Copies Of the new order were re-
ceived here yesterday and the order
becomes effective Immediately.
Th new system requires filling
out of card for every trip across
the line by any vehicle, and bust
ness men who find it necessary to
cross the line many times daily
complain that practically two or
three hours Will be consumed every
day in red tape attendant upon the
new ruling.
The customs office is worried be-
cause it means that unless at least
20 new deputies are furnished, there
will be a continual congestion of
traffic at the international cross
ing, with "jam' extending down
the street in CalcXico s main busi-
ness arteries.
President H. H. Clark of the Ca
leXico Chamber of Commerce is urg-
ing every civic organization to
join in a telegraphic bombardment
N6f Washington in an effort to have
the ruling modified.

PLANS
5O-MXLE DRY
BORDER ZONE

MEXICO CITY, Mexico, April
12.-The Mexican border is going
to lose part of its population know
as thirsty, if plans of the ObregoL
government are carried out.
A draft of a law is being pre-
pared which will make dry zone
along the border so miles deep.
President Obregon has taken
strong stand against booze and
dope along the border and is person
ally advocating the "dry zone.
The establishment of ''dry
zone" at the border was agitated
at the time of President Carranza
but not much progress made.
President Oregon is of the opln-
ion that such Il zone is now neces-
sary alng the border, because of the
vices imported from the United
Safes and because, as he expresses
it, "the frontier cities are rapidly
becoming cesspools for American
vices.
The government takes the stand
that the practices along the border
are not only hurting the dignit.
of the Mexican nation, but are al
so teaching MeXieans vices whicl
in time would end in ruination fol
the border cities.
The establishment of the "drl
zone," it is believed here, woui'
make agreat difference in affair
