The beggarly salary Of $4,000 a year

they had gut possession Of the Snake iv.

they offered 70 lease the Baker City line,

companies, which bait readily seized both

ate the best part Of the northwest with

the country. They will have when their

extending east two hundred miles from
Wslla Walla, and converging into one
on the Clearwater, and then crossing the
Bitter Root mouutaiss into Montana,

With their system completed they can
