UNION PACIFIC
TO SPEND MONEY

Omaha, May 29-Forty-two mil
lion dollars will be spent by the
Union Pacific this year for new
equipment and improvements, ac-
cording to c.. r. Gray, president of
the Union Pacific System, in addition
to the regular routine expenses for
maintenance. The improvements
will be financed from new capital and
not from earnings, Mr.. Gray says.
The additional double-tracking
will give the Union Pacific virtually
a two-track line all the way from
Omaha to Ogden and Salt Lake City,
and considered in connection with
the double-track roads east of Oma-
ha, will make a double track from
Chicago to Salt Lake City, 1,515-
miles, the longest stretch of double
track in the United States over
which solid through trains are run.
New construction in Utah opens up
territories rich in iron, agriculture
and scenic attractions. A line has
Just been completed from Delta to
Fillmore, Utah, and the line from
Lund to- Cedar City, Utah, is in proc
ess of construction. The 1923 pro-
gram of the Union Pacific contem-
plates an alternate main line through
Boise, Idaho, and a branch in the
Idaho Falls district.
When the 81 all-steel passenger
cars, covered by the 1928 program,
are received, this will provide all
steel equipment for all main line
through passenger trains. Seventy
eight freight locomotives, and nearly
5000 freight cars, have been ordered
for delivery in time for the next har-
vest, in addition TO $500 new refrig-
orator ears of the Pacific Fruit Ex-
press, a company owned jointly by
the Union Pacific and Southern Pa
cific.
This program is entered upon,
says Mr.. Gray, with firm belief in
the prosperity of the western states
and confidence that the people in
the territory served by the Union
Pacific will cooperate in maintaining
the railroad at point of greatest

BRUNEAU RIVER
rs RUNNING FULL

Tom and Fred took a little trip
Saturday over into the Bruneau
country on a tour of observation, and
incidentally to try and catch a stur-
geon. While we were unsuccessful
in our endeavors to replenish the
larder, we did get our moneys worth
of rubber-necking.
A great deal of water is now COM
ing down the Bruneau river, and the
spillway of the dam is now running
over thirty-three inches deep, with
the water rising.
Owing to the heavy rains in that
section of the country last week,
full head of water is not being used
in the Grandview ditch.
The eurrant bushes along the
Snake river are heavily loaded, and
il appears that the berries will be
ripe in about ten days to two weeks.

GRIEF BOWED TOWN BURIES
FIRE VICTIMS

Camden, South Carolina, is grie
stricken over the death of seventy.
six children, parents and friends in
a school house fire. 1t is useless tc
elaborate on the details of the fire
which resulted from rickety fast
ening causing an oil lamp to fall to
the floor during an entertainment
being given by the children.
The suffering caused by such fires
as this is beyond understanding and
yet almost weekly we read of such
school house tragedies where one or
more children meet death.
The only difference between this
fire and others is in the number
killed, and this will bring it forcibly
to the attention of the whole nation.
The National Board of Fire I'm
derwriters has been doing every
thing in its power to show the Amer
lean people the criminal waste
which they permit each year when
they allow $4,000 persons and some
$500, 900 in property to be wiped
out by fire, when about 80 per cent
of such death and loss is preventable.
The Underwriters Laboratories in
Chicago has been testing every kind
of building and household equipment
as to it's fire proof or fire resisting
qualities and its advice on these mat
tiers is free to the public.
Carelessness with fire is equally
dangerous in a little town like Cam
den or in a great city like New York.
Let this awful disaster be warn
ing to every household in the land
to be careful with fire and let par
ents demand that public officials see
that school houses and public build
ings are properly safeguarded so
that another Camden catastrophe |
cannot occur

Norris King told the writer that
he had sold his wool clip at Noun

who also said that at the time he
sold to Mr.. Eaton, number of east

in his case an act of safety first |

section. He at first thought it a
horse, but upon closer investigation
learned that the animal was inside
his fence, and yet little nearer view
disclosed the wanderer to be bear.
The brute carefully took note of his
surroundings, sitting up and peering
about him deliberately before MAX
ing a choice of direction, which he
finally did and made off. Will could
easily have shot the bear, but hadn't
a gun on the place. His opinion is
that this specimen wandered in from
Nevada's bear-infested zone, as this
region is by no mans bear country.

TO a close with the service at 7:45
tonight.
Those who have taken advantage
of the opportunity Of hearing the
Rev. George E. Guile have been
wonderfully blessed by the ministry
of Gods word under his leadership.
However, the men and women inter
asted in the conference have mark
ed with deep regret that only q
small proportion of the Christian
people of Americas have attended
the services. It has been said that
the comparatively small attendance
has been due to ignorance Of the
Bible conference idea and OF the rch
blessing awaiting a study OF the
scriptures. UnQuestionably Mr.
Guile is one Of the most charming
and forecful ministers who has ever
~poken in Americus and many have
expressed deep appreciation to the

 That the Superntendents and teachers in the public schccs will cooperate in this matter with the officials of the Fair Association may be taken for granted They have always shown an interest in any thing initiative and interest of the pupils in worthwhile activities

Our Treaty with Canada.
lSeatfle Post-IntelliIgencer.


 Canadas recent independently handled fishing treaty with the United States to have induced feeling of uneasness across the water The treaty fixes closed season for habut fish ing in the North Pacific Ocean The subject itself is of grave international importance. But the action historic. It sets precedent for the in dependence the Dominion that promises be far reaching
 The envoy who represented Canada sent to Washington directly from Ottawa. He had ere dontals from London. He did not deal with Sir Auckland Geddos, the British Ambassador at Washing tcn and negotiated alone with Secretary Hughes
 The treaty was ratified by the United States Sem ate and the Dominion Parliament It reposes in the archives of Ottawa-not of London.
 We like to feel that this action is more truly representative of the Canadian people than the Buy British Goods campaign which a few Canadian newspapers fostering. The neghbory rela- tions between the countries should make that campaign of small moment. We bought more goods from Canada last year than did the United Kingdom. We sold Canada four and one-half times Many of the most important Canadian industries owned in the United States. Much of Canadas enter prisng population has come from the United States.
 Economically, relations of the two countries are bound to stronger instead of weaker. Pot- cally, it probably is only question of short time now befor Ceanada will have a resident minister at Washington.
 And both countries will profit by the growing intimacy

HOOVERS LIMITING PLAN NOT NEW.

The plan adopted by Secretary Hoover of dyid- ing fishing in Alaska into and limiting the catch and pack in each of them is in it's conception. It has generally been agreed upon among those who have made study of the question ono of the principal things that must eventually bt adopted if the fish supply is to be preserved The Britt memorial that passed the Territorial Senate in 1921 proposed q plan that would the power assumed by the Department of Commerce in a com mission. It went further, however, and asked for legislation that would enable the Territorial Leg islature to exercise Jurisdiction in the premises White Bill favorably acted upon by the House Com mitee on Marine and Fisheries of the 67th Congress gave all the power to the Secretary of Commerce that he has assumed through the creation by the President of the fish reserves except insofar as the Sutherland amendment would limit fish traps.
 The creation of the fish was therefore device through which the Secretary of Commerce was given jurisdiction 10 make regulations that it is generally believed that some authority should have the power to mako. Secretary said that the reserves would be abandoned at any time legislation was enacted for tho purpose of conserving the fish cupply He has said further that they would be abandoned anyhow if after trial. they proved un workable and unsatisfactory He said that a years trial ought to determine this point

THE ENLARGEMENT OF STAR B.

The discovery announecu to the world by M Flamarion, observing from clear Greeean skies that the Beta Ceti--Gtar of the Constellation Cetus
 has been enlarged to fifteen times it's former size, probably the result of other satellites falling into it, has caused something of sensation through cut the world.
 However when considers that the event, whatever it was, that caused the enlargement of this star B. occurred eighty years ago7in s43 when John Tyler President Of tho United States, when then Ex-Prcsident Andrew Jackson urging his followers who called at The Hermitage to annex Texas and Henry Clay fixing up his fences for the Presidential election which occurred the following year-it does not alarming. The time is arrived at by the fact that it would take four of years for the rays of light conveying the fact of the enlargement to reach the world.
 Yet one wonders what would to own solar syG.em if something should fall into our sun end its enlargement intensity it's brillianey to the same extent that which has happened to Beta Ceti. It is certain, at least, that the little old earth would become too hot for human kind We would very quickly forget quarrels the fish cries eraey fer voters, the offices, paries blocs oques and other matters.
