TINE Is SPECIFIED
FOR CONSTRUCTION
OF new RAIL Line
Commission Says Work Must BE
Started by Next January and
Ended by July, 1928.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., July 26.-
While the Oregon Short Line de
clared in its application TO the Inter
state Commerce Commission that II
intended TO commence construction
OF the Rogerson-Wells extension by
September first and have the road
completed by December 81, 1924. the
commission today formally issued
the certificate of public convenience
and necessity and Incorporated this
proyiso:
provided, however, this GER
tificafe Is issued upon express
condition that construction OF
said line of railroad shall be
commenced on or before JAN
uary 4, 1924, and be completed
ON or before June 80, 1925"
This grants six months more time
than the railroad company indicated
IL would require, extension of time
being In accord with the COMMISSIONS
practice. In issuing the certificate
authorizing the building of the Rog
erson-Wells road, the commission
made an unusually brief recital of
facts. 1t stated that public utilities
commissioners OF Idaho and Nevada
both recommended this authority TO
be given, and recited that stockhold-
ers of the Idaho Central Railroad
company had asked cancellation OF
certificates previously issued TO their
company and advocated granting
authority now TO the Oregon Short
Line.
Favored Short Line.
Failure OF the Idaho Central TO
actually build. says the commission,
raised doubts as TO the ability of an
Independent line from Rogerson to !
Wells to sustain itself, but in con-
the application of the Short |
Line the commission holds that it /
IL an advantage to the communities 1
and a large saving in distance be-
tween Southern Idaho points and San
and IL finds even more
reason for authorizing the Oregon
Short Line TO build, than existed in

THEY ARE STILL HERE

Perhaps the reason why some people
seem stolidly Indifferent to the fu-
ture life beyond. is due to the fact
that shelter, food and clothing for to-
day is such an engrossing task. Hon
estly providing for ones own family
is not a bad recommendation to fol-
low you out OF this life into the next.
We once knew fellow who was con-
tinually worrying about the end of
the world which was predicted by
some fanatic that would come on a
certain date in the future. The fell
low sold all his goods and chattels to
his neighbors and stood around jing-
ling his money waiting to wallow in
the sea Of fire on the appointed day.
and we really believe that he would
rather have had the fake prophesy
fulfilled than go back to work again.

The Chinese are very much like the
rest Of the peoples Of this none too
merclful world. That their national
progress ceased long ago after brill
liant civilization does not mean that
their potentialitles were lost or their
capacities for knowledge destroyed.
To the Chinese time has meant little.
They had golden age 40 centuries
ago. They flourished nightly again

years sweep over them and threaten
them now and then with destruction.
but they emerge and grow. They have
their own philosophy and are content.
Only when the outer world sees the
wisdom Of their statesmen or a DEM

school children have given does 1t ap-
preciate that the brain Of the Chinese
is very much like the brain of West
