A meeting of the Board Of Trustees
was held at 5 pm. Sunday and plans

securing the right Of way for the COM
pany's railroad from The bank cf Snake

up said river aud around south of the
corporate limits and down the gulch
opening out near the Lindsay bridge;
thence up near the south portion of the
fat to near the boom; thence up the
margin of Clearwater to the Reserva-
ton line. This report showed that the
citizens with two or three exceptions
had signed the right Of way for the
whole distance and that others had Of
fered to grant sufficient land for depot
grounds, and other necessary buildings
and side tracks:and working ground, so
soon ss said grounds have been selected
by the board Of Trustees. The report
further showed that steps had been
taken TO secure the right Of way up
the Clearwater through the entire in.
dian Reservation, and that the strong
est assurances had been given that said
right Of way would te grated, both
by the Iadians and the Department.
Sufficient has Teen disclosed to make
it quite probable that the road between
Lewiston and Lapwai will not only be
surveyed but graded during the present
year. Arrangements have already been
made for the rails and other iron and
rolling stock to he furnished for each
and every section of the road as soon
~ graded end tied. The company as
now organized mean business and they
will hope for and have reason to expect
such encouragement ard aid in the
work from farmers in the Genesee and
Potlatch sections and from Camas
Prairie and other sections to become
tributary to the road and who are to
no greatly benefited by it, as their in.
tcrest and ability will warrant. Men
who are willing to help themselves are
deserving Of help from others when
emergencies and needs require. We
cannot expect capitalists of the East OF
elsewhere to lend much aid to people
who will not mate the effort to helE
themselves IN a. enterprise like thi,
which requires the confidence, good
will, moral support and as far as prac
tieable the pecuniary support of tn,
people. As wo learn it is the purpos.
Of tho managers OF this enterprise t.
visit different sections of the countr,
during the ensuing five weeks and LAY
before the people such plans - may b,
conducive to the full and complete sue
oeas Of the enterprise, duo notice O
which visits win be given. Meantim,
the surveys will be commenced aud pro
Creased as rapidly as possible. Thu
company's enterprise, we are satisfied i
no longer myth, but will DO success
and these remote districts will be re
deemed in spite Of all croakiug. W.
understand that the work and manage
ment Of the road has been placed in tn,
hands of the President, Mr.. Brown
