Preliminary Survey We had call this
morning from Col. w. w. Dc Lacy, recent
ly returned from the Salmon River surveys.
He says the word ''impracticablc" is not
a proper one to apply to the route, but that
it is unfavorable, expensive, and would be
liable to frequent brcakages from the snow
and rock slides, to which the route is sub
ject. Col. De Lacy says he did not state
that it would take bridge $50 miles long,
but merely related that, as humorous sug-
gestion of an old miner on the route, who
advised the engineers to build bridge all
the way down tho river. Mr.. Newell Of tho
Walla Walla Slatesmon, evidently under
stood that to be Col. De Lacy's idea. Com
ing back they found Mr.. North's party
about descending the Clearwater to Lewis
ton, whence Mr.. North will probably 20 to
New York. Col. De Lacy having rc.adjust.
ed his instruments met bis party of five
here yesterday. and tomorrow begins tho
survey of the Deer Lodge Pass; thence to
Rochester, Fish Greek, Pipestone and tho

receive them outside the gates of the City,
but the commcndsble intention was un-
tremendously knocked in the head by the
arrival of tho coach an hour ahead Of time
Designing to stop day or two on return.
ing, the party except Secretary Sanders
only halted few hours, the Governor
meanwhile inspecting tho Penitentiary
building, and proceeded toward Missoula.
Then business visit will be made to the
Jocko Agency, and thence the party will
probably go to Cedar Greek, returning here
about the last Of the week. No formal re.
ception was given the now Executive, or
speeches made by him, but he certainly was
heartily welcomed. and we think the receD.
ton would bc in good taste on their return.
The impression formed of tho Governor
from appearance and manners Is highly fav.
orablc, and our worthy burghers would like
to hear from him.
Secretary Sanders concluded to halt here
until their return, preferring the certainty
and comfort of our village to night rides
and valley dust. We hope he will bc agree.
