has already built and equipped many

completion across the Cascade noun

jected, and will no doubt be speedily
consummsted. 1t is already reported
that the route over the Cascade range
has been selected, and that great pro.
gress will be made in the work of con-
struction this summer, but it is hardly
probable that the tract will be laid east
of the Columbia river this year, which
will leave the building of the road up
the north side of Snake river to Lew.

their desire to rapidly extend their sys.

that their surveyors will be in the field
as soon as spring opens.
