Early action expected on Wells Rogerson railroad line
The Interstate Commerce Commission received Oregon Short Line data on a Wells to Rogerson route. Construction could start September 1 with completion by December 31, 1924, at an estimated cost of 5.094 million dollars. The line, about 97.7 miles with 20 miles of sidings, would run a deficit for five years but is seen as benefiting the Union Pacific system overall. Chambers to assist notes Twin Falls and Wells chambers will provide right of way worth about 30 thousand dollars and secure land for stations and sidings. no protest is on record and final consideration awaits.

Claims $15 800 Due Him From Rail Company
Earl J. Ahern sues Idaho Central Railroad for 15800 in district court alleging payment for engineering and related services tied to the Rogerson Wells line. Service aimed at Judge EB A Walters from a directorate formed after Idaho Central’s takeover by Twin Falls men. Purchase of company assets by Twin Falls interests from James L. Stewart, San Francisco, for 25000 raised by public subscription, held in escrow at Twin Falls National Bank. Conrad Wolfle has sued Stewart for damages, money in escrow garnished. Ahern and his attorney E V Larson stated no aim to block Short Line road construction and that such effect would be unlikely.
