 l The Orient railroad runs from Wichita. Kas., to Alpine, Texas, and the Mexican section runs from Falo- mir through Chihuahua, Sanchez and Fuerte. the Pacific terminal being at the port of Topolobampo. There is a gap of unfinished road between Alpine and Falomir and between Sanchez and Fuerte. Between Wichita and Alpine are 737 miles of track. while the sec tions operated in Mexico total $50 miles. The length of the. entire line from Kansas City to Topoobampo is about 1,s00 miles. Mir. Stilweli never abandoned his dream of the Orient's importance as a short route to the Pacific. Shortly after work on the project was started the Madero revolution in Mexico stop ped operations on the southern sec- ton. Later financial difficulties cur tailed work on the northern section. Later financial difficulties curtailed Noih ou tHt uOTtUeTO SSCI1OH. 1en came war conditions which prevented European capitol from being invested In the line. Since the receivership was declared in 1917. efforts to inter- est private capital in the road have failed.
 Last year series of setbacks led to the order for sale of the road. An other government loan to enable the road to continue operation was re- jected by congress; other railroads en- joined the granting of preferential rates for the Orient; and the state of Kansas refused to remit taxes on the roads property in that state. At the end of 1923 the road faced deficit of approximately s20.o00, with the governments debt due.
 Despite the roads difficulties, the operators have remained optimistic, declaring the line could never be abandoned without great injury to the southwest.

Proposed increase ia freight
rates on grain and grain products
from north Idaho points has been
suspended until March II, the

points. The carriers proceeded
then to raise all other rates to the
level Of the Rathdrum rate, SO
there would be no discrimination,
and shippers protested.

TO SAVE FORESTS
Moore Wants Legislature to
Adopt Policy.

BOISE, 1uduOs AZ A0nS :"
tree grow for every one cut, is the
slogan adopted by Governor c. G..
Moore to put an Idaho forest
policy into effect.
A state forest policy is one Of
,he things that Governor Moore
has set his heart upon and he feels
that the time is now ripe Tor the
initiation OF a movement to keep
Idaho's mountains perpetually
wooded. Enactment Of forestry
bill by the 1925 legislature is part
Of the plan.
"North Idaho has two resourc-
es," he says, "they are timber and
minerals. Some day the tim Der
will be gone unless something is
done to cover those nude hills that
are not useful for anything but pro
ducing timber"
But the governor is not only
thinking OF covering the hills with
trees. Timber makes cover for
snow and holds it there when the
warm spring days come. This
protection is needed to keep
Idaho's streams running with water.
II there is no protection the snow
melts quickly and is gone.
"And what is the use," the gov
ernor says, fsto build American
Falls reservoirs if we are going to
let the water that we hope to store
in these reservoirs run away and
be lost"
Governor Moore feels that the
time has come when the private
timber owners of north Idaho will
begin to reap their harvest; "and
| don't blame them," he added.
"For more than 20 years." he
says, 'they have held their timber,
paying t-xes on it and protecting
it against FIRE, waiting for the time
when the south and east had ex-
hausted their best. That time has
come and it will not be long before
the sound of many falling trees
will echo and re- -echo through
north Idaho forests"
Idaho land and timber officials
in administering state lands have
recognized the danger of deforesta-
Iion for some years past and now
whenever tract of state timber is
sold the purchaser is required to
sign contract that prohibits him
rom removing trees IL inches in
diameter or under. He is also re-
lulred to dispose of all slashings
n order to protect the remaining
growth from fire.
81 very much approve OF this
'estriction," the governor says,
''and want to see it incorporated
nto ldaho's forest policy" S
Governor Moore is carrying his
deas to the deans of the school of !
orestry and agriculture of the /,
University Of Idaho and to all ! s
owners of large tracts of timber
ma feels sure that he will have g
heir support in his project. a

Twin Wicked Cities
Under Red Sea Now

st. Louis. May 1-(By A. Pr
Evidence of the existence Of u Ca
mantle civilization of the early
bronze age, dating about the TWEEN
tieth century b. c., has been found
by the Xenia expedition in a tour of
the Dead Sea region of Palestine,
DR.. Melvin G. Kyle, head Of the party,
said in letter received here.
DIR. Kyle, who is president of
iAenia Seminary here, declared his
Explorations also had tended to con-
firm the judgment of earlier investi-
gators that the two cities of Sodom
and Gomorrah. which, according to
Biblical accounts were destroyed by
fire and birthstone. are buried be-
meath the Dead Sea beyond the
Pottery found in the graves opened
by Arab treasure hunters in the6 re-
gion. DR.. Kyle's letter said, shows
conclusively the existence of the
early Canaanite civilization. He
characterized it as a pre- Moabite
civilization" pointing out that Lot
was the father of Moab"
This is a necessary first link in
the evidence we desire" the letter
continued, "for the Bible represents
in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Moreover, there follows just here one
of those expressive silences in Bible
history.
"The destruction Of the Cities of
the Plain put but that civilization as
suddenly and complete as one snuffs
out a candle. Never again is any
mention made or hint given or i'm.
piled of a civilization in this plain
after the Lord destroyed Sodom and
Gomorrah. This is exactly what our
researches have revealed. Thus,
what seemed only negative evidence
becomes a positive evidence on the
subject. The next civilization that
appears is Byzantine, which comes
more than 1000 years later"
Although suggestions have been
made that divers be sent down into
the Dead Sea to recover something
from the two cities beneath its sur
face. DR.. Kyle scouts the idea, de-
claring the rushing waters Of small
rivers have brought down alluviai
deposits that have been filing the
bottom Of the sea, making the work
Of divers exceedingly difficult, If not
impossible.
