I I In ofllco mako It bigger but when a
U I big man gets it Into his bead that ho
BBj-H i '8 bigger than his country that big
BBJi man becomes n llttlo man, pretty
BBJ; 1 g . darn quick, and to his surprise ho
BT VI , ""(Is tho big country slipping right
BBJ I j ' along, without him.
J lit I j 2. In free America there Is a chanco
BBJ for a politician to becomo a states-
BBS man, but when a statesman descends
BBJ' - to a politician, ho's gone at least
BBb- . , i that seems to bo tho record doesn't
H '' it, Teddy?
BBB ' 3. Tho grcatpower In American civ
BBB ' II government. Is the franchlso of Its
BBB J people and our growth or decay Jo-
BBJ i pends upon how well our pcoplo pro-
BBB tect and preservo that power or how
B I much thoy abuse it. Wo fear tho rot-
BBB h tenness that comes from tho pcoplo's
BBB abuso of tho franchise far more
BBp. than wo fear oppression, that may
BHJ como from tho monopoly of money.
BBS Coming down to local topics, good
B roads, road bonds, etc., In splto of
BBJ our progrcsslvo Instinct, our dcslro
BBS ' for good roads, and public Inmprov-
BBJ j incuts, o can't get out of our mind
BBJ j & ; that desire to know what Is tho pros-
BBJ h 1 rnt labor cost, material cost, and civ-
BBJ ' 11 cr.Bt, or recording a deed or mort-
BBJ j i mco, of trying a civil caso In a pro-
BBJ , 'j ' clnct court, nn ordlnnry criminal case
BBJ I' ) i In tlio district court, nnd keeping the
BBB I records of same, or building ten rods
BBB f. j of poor road. IfVvo had these facts
BBB ii I maybo wo could figure out, by the
BBB ' I rules of proportion, how much ten
BBB I i rods of good road would cost, and
BBB V knowing fairly woll the cost or ten
BBB i 1 V rods of good roads, wo would know
BBB I ' how to vote nt tho coming road bond
BBB j election. Otherwise wc wilt bo in
BBB doubt, nnd wo are liable to glvo tho
BBB I. benefit of the doubt to self instead ot
BBB tho public.
BBB In Cache tho question, "Do wo want
BBB I good roadB?" Is settled. Everybody
BBB says yes; but tho real question Is,
BBB 1 will wo get good roads, It we bond?
BBB I In asking this question wo feel sure
BBB i wo reflect tho sentiment of a large
BBB majority ot tho tax payers of this dls-

Wo aro a llttlo lato with some of
these Juno weddings, but wo bellove
that thoy will bear repeating as there
has been no news from nichmond for
sometime.
On Juno Cth ono ot our Shopards,
became weary of continually round
ing up her lonely flock so sho crossed
the Richmond and Lewlston 'Tlubl
con" where her romantic spirit has
so expanded that It now onclrcles a
whole pond.
Mr. Dert Pond Is a son of Mr. nnd
Mrs. H. Pond and is assistant mnn
ager of the Lewlston Supply Co. Miss
Myrtle Shepard Is tho oldest daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. I. Shepard or this
city. They will mako their homo In

n ptpular teacher In our High school.
Hen says single Plants nrc not a
success and bolloves It would be bet
ter to raise Plants with Webb rcet,
a Tact his school rrlneds will bo glad
to learn.

daughter ot Mr. and Mrs. 0. M. Thom
son nnd Mr. Jcsso Webb, son ot SI
mon and II. II. Webb wero married In
(lie Logan Temple. Mr. Webb has
Just finished and furnished a neat
pnven room brick cottage on Fourth
Vst street, nnd tho young couplo

On Juno 5th Mr. John Jonas nnd

rnrm at Murray, Utah. Atter a family
-cpution nt tho homo ot tho bride's
mother, Mrs. Armlna Anderson, tho
couplo departed tor Murray whero
they will make their tuturo home.
Thus the "Juno" rover struck our
town nnd rumor has it tho end Is not
yet. Ono of our homo grown Olives
Is on the evo of being transferred
from tho "testing battle" to a "flour"
pitcher it is said.
At a meeting of the Fourth of July
""inmlitee It was decided not to cele
brate the Fourth Inasmuch oa our ball
toArrr, had been engaged to play "
Preston, and all brass bands within
our reach have been engaged. We will
celebrate the "Twenty-fourth."

Crooks And Grafters
Learn Police Plans
Continued from paJ 1
llco department that former members
or tho department hnve been deliber
ately trying to counteract the work
ot plain clothefl men In many cases,
and that In some Instances they have
been successful In their underhanded
work.
"Wo know that men who wore en
tho dopartment but who wore dis
charged for the good of tho service,
and a certain stool pigeon who was
In tho employ of these men have glv,
en Information to crooks and gratters
or our plans to catch them, nnd havr
advised them to keep tinder cover,'
said Inspector Carlson tills morning.
It Is known nt police headquarters
that. In nil probability the two con
ridenco men who nttempted to rob W
W. Kent ot Moore, Idaho, of ?3000
Wcdnesdny, would have been nppre
bended yesterday morning when thoy
had an nppolntmcnt with the sup
posed "easy mark" had It not been
tor tho spying ot two former mem
bers or the plain clothes torco nnd u
mnn who had long ncted In tho ca
pacity ot a stool pigeon.
Thcso men knew or Mr. Kent's visit
to police headquarters and also know
that Detectives Cleveland and Seagor
wero working on tho caso nnd
prepared a plan to catch the crooks
but tho gratters wero warned In time
nnd failed to keep tho appointment.
It Is nlso known that former de
tectives were responsible for the fail
ure ot ono or tho gratters who tried
to rob David Harney ot $5,500, to" ttee
his appointment with Mr. Barney nt
the Hotel Utah, when detectives wore
waiting to capture him.
It is claimed by officers in the de
partment that certain ex-members oi
tho torco have taken great pains to
keep contldence men informed nnd to
point out to them plain clothes men
of the rorce so the crooks can bo on
tr-c r guard against officers or the
law.
Officers aro at work on nt least twfi
cases ot this character, and they hope
to gather sufficient evidence ot an tin
Impeachable- naturo to warrant tho Is
suance ot complaints against tho In
formers, charging them with Interfer
ing with nn officer in tho discharge
ot his duty.
RIO GRANDE WILL
i.h" 1 J-8PEND 10,00,00d

Denver, June to. The early pur
chase of forty passenger and freight
locomatives and sufficient eighty-five
pound stcol rails to lay firty-mlles or
track and build twenty miles ot sec
ond track costing In all $10,000,000,
-was announced hero by President B.
F. Bush or tho Missouri Pacific and
.Denver & Rio Grande. He nlso an
nounced that certain ot tho heavy
grades of the road Including Soldier
Summit In Utah, would bo reduced
at once. A proposition to electrify
the operation over Soldier Summit Is
under consideration. '
Outcome Of Promise.
Tho news that tho Dpnver & Bio
Grando railway will spend nbout $10,
000,000 In Improvements in this stnte
during the year was announced yes
terday In n telegram received from
headquarters at Denver by General
Superintendent A. B. Apporson, Presi
dent B. F. Bush advised Vice Presi
dent K. L. Brown yesterday of hip
approval or tho purchase ot irom thlr-ty-tlve
to torty locomotives nnd pro
posed Improvement work nlong the
lino In Utah. The estimate that $10,
000,000 will be spent by the company
is considered low, ns the engines
nlono will cost npproxlmntoly $2,210,
000. Tho announcement ot President
Bush or these Improvements Is tho
outcome ot a promise ho mndo sever
al' weeks ago while In Sal'
Three big surveying outfits nro now
In the field. During the week sever
al large contracting nnd construction
companies havo looked over the
.ground preparatory to bidding for the
big contracts.
Tho Improvements that have been
definitely decided upon are twenty
miles of second track between Castle
Gate and Kyunc, double track from
Tucker to Thistle nnd n complete new
low grade from Soldier Summit to
Tucker. In order to cllmlnte the pres
ent fdur per cent grade at present
between the two latter towns, the
route will be changed so that the
grade will be reduced to 'only two per
cent. Elghty-rive-pound steel will bo
used in the now twenty miles of track
between Castle Onto and Kyune. Much
or this will be heavy rock work, as
the line will pass through a mountain
ous country.
The now engines will bo for both
passenger nnd freight service nnd will
be largo compounds ot tho Mlllett nnd
Mlkndo type. Tho proposed purchase
of 1,100 freight cars has also been an

In regard to tne electrifying of Sol

"The engineering work of reducing

already been made to convert Soldier
Summit road from steam to electric.
"Final calculation? - "' he complet
; ed In the course of a fortnight nnd If
the apparent advantages of electrifi
cation can pe secured and demonstrat
ed, probably that portion of the road
botween Helper and Thistle will be
placed under electric operation. The J

power for coal and ore mining opera- J
tions and for perhaps other commer- I
clal purposes." B
