TIL NEW bNCOKPONAllONs
We publish to-day the certificate Of
incorporation IF the Idaho Clear "a
ter and Mon'ana Transportation com
pany." The ohjec's Of the incorpora
on are set forth with some minute
moss in this certificate and no mai
neel gainsay them. We have heard
some cavil as to the effect that the incor-
porators have not the means to carry
forward their work and therefore tn y
are only playing little bluff Such
caviling is cheap talk. These incor.
porators knew what they were doing
when they projected and entered upon
this new enterprise, and if they re
q.ired help t. en.bl, them to carry
it out to its full extern. they know
where to look for their aid. In fac,
It cannot bc reasonably supposed that
seventeen men Of the prominence
which these incorporators occupy here
in North Idlho, would seek to make n
faroical ors.nz,tion Ct this kind
They are MT tn. m,n VII, seek to
gull the public into false belief or ex
pc :tation. They are mostly old citi
sens Of this country aud some of them
are a. well hxel financially as any
men in the country, and what is Of
great importance they know more Of
the resources of the country and the
advantages Of the routes they have Sc
lscted than any class Of men in New
York, Boston. San Francisco, Portland
or Walla W lila, az hAv, mora

and improving them than have oil
others combined. They have waited
long for some other company to take
hold Of these routes. But have held
out the friendly hand to them all and
urged them to take the Clearwate,
pas Of the Bitter Rot mountains fol
4 transcontinentai route az the shortes,
by 80 niles and tho hest in almos,
every particular, hut have been told
that it was impracticable and moi
worthy Of a thorough examination and
thus their good will and profFers have
been ignored. But about . month age
certain assurances ":ere gi"en, which
prompted meeting Of few cit.zen'

Of July last, where matters were set
forth and the present organization was
rlanned. and committee Apo nted to

their guide who knows the passes. and
competent men tn determine the rela.

probably le met by a party from Alcn
tana and conference will l,e held up.
on the character Of the route east from,
thu p.ss Of :ha Bitter RIOT. The lin.

Utah Northern south Of Butte city,
some City miles. The whole distance
