Railroad Movements.
Bellevue Chronicle,

A gentleman came up from Shosho-
ne tuesday evening with the impor-
tant news that corps of railroad sur
veyors had just arrived at the juno
ton, and started out in the direction
of Boise City. The surveyors are sup
posed to be out in the interests OF the
Denver and Rio Grande and Central
Pacific companies for the purpose OF
looking the ground over preparatory
to building narrow guage into the
interior of Idaho. BY laying third
rail on the Central Pacific from Ogden
to Corinne, the Denver and Rio Grande
could run its trains to within about
one hundred and sixty miles OF Wood
river. The road could then be run to
Boise City on whatever course that
may be chosen; and could run through
rich country all the way. The gen.
tIeman who brought the report says
the surveyors paid their way from
Ogden, and no passes would accept
from the Tnion Pacific There is no
question that the advent of this crops
of surveyors and engineers into this
part of the territory means something,
and it is although probable that next
season will witness the construction
of a rival to the 0. S. Line. 1t is GER
tainly welcome news to Idaho, partc-
ularly to Wood river, where competi.
ton of some kind is needed to lessen
freight rates.

The yellow fir is known in the east
as Oregon pine or Puget Sound pine.
1t is wood of great value, owing to
its toughness and strength. The first
cargoes of it were sent to San Fran
cisco about 25 years ago. The length
and beauty of the timber attracted the
attention of Admiral Farragut, who
caused tests of it to be made at the
Mare Island Navy yard. Still other
tests were made at the navy yard in
1870 by constructor Much, for the pur.
pose of discovering the sizes of scant-
ling required for building the United
States screw-steamer Manzanita with
Pacific Coast woods instead of white
oak. Tests have also been made re-
Gently in the oak. 1t is proved that
the yellow fir is fully the equal of cas-
tern white oak in tenacity, strength
and toughness. There is no doubt left
upon the point, and yellow fir is now
the universal building wood on the
Pacific coast.
