Between New Plymouth and Boise. ; - Fruitland on Main Line—Surveying Crew Now Busy Cross Sectioning ■ - Boise and other Idaho towns in the I filing of articles of incorporation yes terday of the Central Idaho Railroad j Another railroad line is assred for : of the Oregon Short Line Railroad! company, and with W. H. Bnacroftl as! president. The railroad will be about 220 miles In length and is capitalized for $220,000, the shares valued at $100 each. Officers of the Central Idaho Rail road companv are: W. H. Bancroft, president and director; J. A. Reeves, company, officered by local officials ; vice president and director; C. H. Jenkinson, treasurer; G. K. Smith, secretary. The directors, besides Mr. Bancroft and Mr. Reeves, are Wil liam Ashton, P. L. Williams and F. H. Knickerbocker. Headquarters in Utah will be maintained in Salt Lake, and Pocatello will be headquarters for the road in Idaho. The company will start its line from the Oregon Short Line at a station known as Owinza. It will, run through Lincoln county, northwest through the Big Wood River Valley to the divide between the Boise and Big Wood rivers, then passing through the city of Boise tq the town of Middleton on the Boise river, and then on to Payette, Canyon county, where the branch line will again con nect with the Short Line. That the Central Idaho company will be but a branch line of the Short Line, and controlled by the general policies ofthiscompany.isbelievedfrom the fact that all of the officers and directors are prominent officers of the Short Line in Salt Lake, and that W. H. Bancroft, as trustee, holds 2, 195 shares of the stock of the new railroad company, representing $219, 500 of the total capitalization of $220, 0001 1 In the 220 miles of the new line, Lincoln, Blaine, Elmore. Ada and Can. yon counties will be traversed. It ley shortly above New Plymouth and places New Plymouth and Fruitland on the main line joining the present main line of the Oregon Short Line at Payette making of Payette a June has been known for some time that the new road would be a matter of the very near future, but the filing| of the articles of incorporation as sures its construction during 1910 and 1911. The new road comes into the val station perhaps a point. It has long been known that there has been dissatisfaction with the present division at Huntington on account of the available space for track and storage room. Many times j there have been rumors of the divis- j ion point being moved hack to Pay- ;, ette. With Payette a junction point for two main lines considerable busi ness would naturally accrue In the yard? here and it would be no par ticularly surprising fact if when con - struction work on the new road be- j p ginsP ayette would be announced as a division station. M hile the road 18 undoubtedly a part of the Short Line et being but a part of the same sys tem It will be operated as are all the great railroad systems by itself. Noj its own rolling stock doubt having and own engines which will operate . only on the lines of the Idaho Cen tral. In that event Payette is a fer beyond doubt have a round house) and be in fact a division station. In any event the coming of the new road mlnal of the Idaho Central and will. which it is stated will be built dur ing 1910 and 1911 means much to New Plymouth. Fruitland and Pay ette. It means the tapping of the richest part of the best fruit growing ■ection ln the northwest by a trunk ; line. The new proposed line will have a maximum grade of one per cent as against a grade of two to two and four hundredths per cent on the pres ent main line of the Short Line. Tht 'means that a great per cent of the freight business will be handled on the new line. The country through which the new line will pass is among the richest from an agricultural standpoint iq the 1 entire state and the line is assured of heavy tonnage ln the way of outgo ing freight from the opening day. On account of Boise being a city of ' TRAINING IN EXPRESSION IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS Superintendent Turner has secured the services of Miss Leonora E. Shaw to present a course of training in Ex pression to the students of the High 3cho ol and upper grades.

The pupils and Wyoming and comes to us with a training and experience that enables her to present a splendid opportunity the State Universities of Ohio She will also give a couple of talks to the teachers on the art of good reading. Much good is expected to result from even this brief course. Miss 6haw is at the head of a movement to introduce short courses of expression in the various schools where a regular teacher is not em ployed. At the end of her term here the an nual school play will be given under to cur young people. her direction.

A double bill will be given with over 100 young people participating. The first number is a pantomime entitled "Belshazzar's Doom". This is a spec tacular reproduction of Belshazzar's Feast and Fall, as recorded in the Book of Daniel, and introduces an Oriental Fantasy of surprising grace and beauty. This will be followed by the play "Valley Farm ", a charming little rural comedy in four acts. Val ley Farm just bubbles over with fun and frolic, yet has a tender vein of pathos that touches the heart and makes the eye grow dim. Miss Shaw assures ns that she finds an u* usual amount of ability among our young people and that the production bids fair to become a record break er. General admission will be 25 and 30 cents.

McOmie who for the past four years has been Agricultural Superin tendent for the Utah-Idaho Sugar will have charge of the company's work in this vicinity under Mr. Horn of Nampa. In tendering his resigna tion of Mr. McOmie was not actuated , , , , . . , . . . J by any; loss of faith in the sugar beet | industry but from the fact that he was offered a much more lucrative position with Campbell's Automatic Safety Gas Burner Company, of Port land. Oregon, a concern which is the ^- to 7 nd -«*"2" of an au otmatic device for closing off « as when extinguished from any cause. there5y providing a safeguard for accidents usually due' to explosions of and leakage of gas. Mr. McOmie will in his work with the new eompa uy travel to a considerable extent or ganizing companies and erecting fac tories, in various parts or the United States. The people of Payette in gei> eral will feel that in losing Mr. Me Omie the Utth-Idaho Sugar Company has lost a conscientious painstaking employe who since his residence in p a yette has not only been identified with the sugar company but with ev ery movement looking toward the progress of the community in which he lives. He has a host of. friends in this community who will wish for him that prosperity to which he is surely entitled In his new field of work. Laundry Changes Hands. The first of this week J. W.

The alarm is one of the mo« perfect contrivances of the kind one could imagine. Should a burglar gain admission to the bank and attack the vault either at the door, walls, celling or floor, both in side and outside alarms are at once given, and a set of bells ring continu ally until disconnected by some on*-: who undertansds the alarm and can reach the proper place inside of the vault to make the disconnection. Should a burglar make an attack on the vault and the alarm be given a little disc fails down and tells whoev er comes to the relief just where the er comes to the relief just where the attack occured. that is whether on the outside or inside. Another good feature of the alarm is that should the bank officials from any cause whatever fail to close and )ock the vaultdoor at a certain hour lhe a!ann go ^ oft and nollfie , them of the error. Should the vault door ibe closed and the bolts not thrown { » g 6lgrm at a wrtain t**,,. warns rue Text. The midister bad pread text.
