western racing firm of English & Lar

electric saddle, which he sought to have
Hennessey. who is lightweight Jockey
of little merit, use upon his mounts.
Negotiations were conducted through
Nat Hill. and the saddle, which is far
ahead of anything in its line seen on
Southern courses, was delivered TO
Hennessey. Tichener demanded its re-
turn. Hcnnessey failed to produce II,
claiming that it had been mislaid by
his valet, and Tichcner caused his ar
rest on the charge of grand larceny.
The proceedings i'm the police court ven
tilated the whole matter and the Cres-
cent City Jockey club TepleVined the
saddle and had the case continued to
enable its officials To investigate the
matter thoroughly at the track. Track
followers say that the saddle was used
twice on Francis Hennessey, who, with
ID. Hennessey up, won easily at six
furlongs i'm 1:21i2, on Jan. so, and on
Salvador. with y. Hill up, who won
handily at six furlongs in lis. on Feb.

ism ever seen.

~ WAGON road which runs between

The wagon road which runs between
Bonita and Clinton is lately receiving
some attention. At many points be-
tween those places, the Hell Gate river
on one side and the high bluffs on the
other, barely permit of the passage
of trains over the Northern Pacific
tracks. In many instances the wagon
road crosses and recrOsses the Compa-
ny's tracks I'm order to get past some
rocky point or blum. one of the worst
of these places has been removed by
the construction of a new road across
the ohstructing point, so that the dan
gers Of that portion of the highway
have been removed and its conditions
generally improved. Similar changes
are also being made at other points.
The change will be welcomed by people
who are compelled to pass over that
road.

BUSINESS ON THE INCREASE

BUSINESS ON THE INCREASE

Missoula. Feb. 9-The past week has
witnessed an increase in the bulk of
business in both the freight and pas
senger departments of the Rocky Noun
tain div ision. There is quite a move
mcnt in wheat from the west The in
creased quotations on the product have
caused many farmers in the Palouse
country to loosen up their grip and in
consequence the shipping facilities Of
both the o. r. az y. and Northern Pa
cilic have been taxed to the utmost.
Some of the wheat now en- route for
eastern points had been held over from
preceding years by parties who had
hoped to get 81 a bushel for il. But ii
is evident that the low prices of the
past have created a weakness in the
backbone of the producer and that the
smallest advance in prices is now &C
ceptable. Everybody is unloading his
wheat supply, and next seasons crop
will probably find empty granaries.
Meanwhile business is booming on this
division, and the railroad boys are fat
tening up their monthly pay checks.
Work is progressing satisfactorily on
the new steel bridge now in course of
construction at Perma. The east and
west abutments, which are of solid con-
crct" with heavy granite trimmings,
are completed, and now that the forms
have been removed so that the charac-
ter of the masonry is exhibited. il is
apparent that the structure Will be
substantial one. The piles for the two
piers. which are located in the deep
channel of the Clark's Fork, have been
driven from 20 to 25 feet in the solid
bottom and have been cut off by a cir
cular saw on a perpendicular shaft that
runs under water, close to the bed of
the river The ciassOns, which are con-
struCtod of heavy timbers, have been
fioat,d TO n place over these piles and
settled on them by filing in with con-
crete and rock TO overcome their buoy
ancy. The concrete and granite ma
sorry OF the pier is now being con-
structcd on the found.tion. The third
pier. which is located in a gravel bar,
required different method of construc-
ton. 1t is being built by driving heavy
sheet piling and excavating the inside
of the area thus formed. When the
level of the excavation got below the
level of the water i'm the river, 1t soaked
through the intervening ground into
the bottom Of the pit. But three large
centrifugal pumps were set up, by
which the water is pumped out, so that
excavation. pile driving knd the cutting
off of piles can be prosecuted. Another
four weeks will see the completion of
the foundation, which is one of the
most difficult Of its kind ever handled
in this section of the country. The
erection of the permanent superstruct-
ure will follow closely after the finish
ing touches have been placed upon the
foundation.

Growth mi Development,
The fact that Olympia. the Oldest town

growth OF some Of her younger neigh bors
must not necessarily convey the impress
sion that this is due 10 any insurmount-
able difficulty that will forever retard the
development OF prosperous city. for II

TO this seeming Inconsistency Is found In
the history OF railroad building In this

began, many of the newer towns were so
fortunate as 10 be placed upon the line or

them temporary advantage. However,
