Denies Theory That
 Sky Hasn't Any Limit

Cincinnati. ti.-Confiictin theories on what would become of an aeroplane if it could travel straight up for an in- definite nunber of years were cham pioned by master theorists in tbe Amer ican Association for the Advancement of Science.
 pr. Horace Levison. diseiple,oi Pro- lessor Elnstein. declared all space is fnite; that Shere is s2 limit to the sky, and that the popular conception of the intinity of space is incorrect.
 "If one could but travel far though from the earth,' said Dr. Levinson, ''one would eventually find oneself back at the starting point"
 Such trip, according to the theory of EinsIein, would cover a distance of 558, GOO, 900 trillions of miles, but at the end there would be Cincinnati, Ohio, or Winfield. Kan, or whatever point at which the long journey began.
 Briefly. the theory of fnity is that space is curved-that insofar as space is concerned "geal'' is written on the back of the guide post labeled start ing point"

misappropriation OF Approximately
5000 OF Pioneer Irrigation funds dis
trict came to an end Tuesday morning
with a disagreed jury. will b tried
again. according to an announcement
made "Wednesday by Logan Hyslop.
prosecuting attorney.
Jurors reported Tuesday morning
that they could not agree and were
discharged by Judged Ed. l.. Bryan
The vote from the first ballot stood
four for acquittal and eight for con
viction.
1t is understood that the case will
come up again this autumn at the
fall term OF court. All records in
the history OF Canyon county, so far
as duration OF criminal cases in con
cerned, were broken by the Jester
trial which took eight days for the
introduction OF evidence and OF argu-
ment Monday being devoted entirely
10 that phase of the case.
Motion day. observed Monday here,
was directed by Judge B. S. Varian
OF Weiscr who came to Caldwell for
that purpose because Judge Bryan
was tied up with the Jester ease.
Judge Varian held court in the COM
missioner's room.
Thirteen men sat in the jury box
during the trial, the extra man being
qualified to prevent delays due to i'll
ness among jurors. This juror said
that he would have voted not guilty
because he felt that the prosecution
had not definitely affixed the respon-
sibility for Pioneer district fund short
ags upon Mr. Jester.

The outstanding feature OF las.

SET SALE DATE
FOR |NTERUBAN
Caldwell Traction Lines
Cease Operations
Monday

July IS has been Sc. by Judge Ed.
l.. Bryan as the date OF sale for prop
erty controlled by the Caldwell Trac-
ton company, operating an electric
interurban line into the Deer Flat
territory. This sale Will be held to
satisfy bondholders 10 whom the con-
Germ is indebted in the sum Of approx
imaiely Sl45,0O0, bonds and interest.
All service on the Traction line
ceased Monday evening of this week
Weather il is resumed will depend en-
iriely upon the disposition to be made
OF the property OF the bond holders.
According to c. d. Purkhiser,
manager and receiver, the company
cannot resume service without varied
improvements. As the roadbed exists
today i, would be unsafe and virtually
impossible to move this seasons crop
from the Deer Flat territory, Mr..
Purkhiser says.
Reports are being freely circulated
10 the effect that the road will be re-
financed, extended to the Riverside
district and operated again. Whether
this course is pursued will probably
not be determined until the bond
holders are in position TO dictate the
future Of the road.
One complication that is worrying
farmers on the right-ofway is the
matter Of delinquent taxes against the
company. Property now used by the
company for right-of-way revcr's
to former owners il the line IS dis
mantlcd Taxes have not been paid
and individual owners fear that they
will be called upon 10 meet tax asses
mcnts levied against this property IN
past years as a charge against The
Caldwell Traction company.
Failure Of the company to pay
operating overhead expenses. accord
ing TO Mr.. Purkhiser, has been due
in large measure TO delay in obtain
ing absorption OF freight diiferent'als
on traffic originating on this line by
The Union Pacific and other railroads.
Formal complaint was recently hled
with the interstate commerce COM
,ission to obtain this concession which
Mr. Purkhiser believes. would permit
continued operation OF the road on
a basis that would insure meeting al
Obligations.
