Seven Devils Railroad.
/ Boise Statesman,1

Boise statesman.
The contract for the first As miles
of grading on the Seven Devils rail-
road has been signed. Wilkerson,
Reaugh & Co. of Salt Lake have
secured the contract and as soon as
the road is cross-sectioned work will
be begun. An actual survey has
been made as far as the Weiser can
yon, which is 13 miles from Payette.
This route is four and one-half miles
further than the route first laid out
from Weiser, making the length of
the road to the Seven Devils coun-
try 1861 miles.
The grade from Payette over the
divide to the canyon is about per
cent. or 81 s feet to the mile. The
contractors were much surprised
when it was found 70 be no more,
as they supposed it would run up to
nearly $50 feet, which is the grade
on part of the Owyhee road.
Payette is a very busy place.
There are not sufficient rooms to
accommodate the people who are
crowding to that little town.
Mr.. Clark, who located the Short
Line, is said to be in charge of the
engineering corps now at work on
the Seven Devils road. There are
20 men divided in two sections, at
work cross-sectioning the first Is
miles of the road. They have estab-
lished two camps along the route
and several loads of supplies have
been sent out to them.
The expectation now is that the
road will be completed by December
of the present year.
Word has been received from men
in New York who are backing the
enterprise that they will be here On
the goth inst. The general impress
sion seems to be that active work on
the grading and other construction
work will not begin until their ar.
rival.
In connection with the opening up
Of the Seven Devils country, the
Caldwell Tribune has the following:
Captain Z W. Baughman of Lew
ston, Idaho, is said to have been
to examine the Snake river
rom Huntington to Seven Devils
With a view of ascertaining how far
he river is navigable. A line of

'oad, Capt. Baughman is reported

mas been a great deal said by the
newspapers, but all that has been

which it is desired that the road
should run. 1t is my opinion that
