Idaho at Salt Lake.

Hon. James Graham, Register
of the U. S. Land Office at Occur d
Alene, took a prominent part in
the Trans-Mississippi Congress az
Salt Lake. Our Jim delivered an
address upon the subject of "Our
Trade Relations with Canada" and
the Salt Lake papers say that lie
acquitted himself with credit.
The Salt Lake Tribune illustrates
Mr.. Graham in the attitude of
speaking on his favorite theme, and
while the artist no doubt meant
well, we infer that he must have
been looking at the wrong man.
The congress had very interest

QUIET WEEK
Our People Trying to Get Roads and
Trails Built So That They Can Take
Advantage of the Improvement that
Seems tie be Setting In.

Mr.. w. l.. Kinnear visited the |
county seat last week to impress
upon the county commissioners the
necessity Of building bridge across
the Moyea, on the county road to
the Moyea mines. This road has
been constructed at an expense of
$500, $1,000 of which was paid
by the county. The road is worth
less as wagon road without the
bridge, as the Moyea can not be
forded, nor is it possible to use a
ferry. The miners propose to
build ten miles more of road as an
extension, and will trim up the
fourteen miles already constructed,
if the commissioners will only con-
struct the bridge. The cost will be
only $4OO or 5000, and it looks to
us that the county should step in
and build it without any further
quibbling.
The Sunday school picnic on
the Northside last Thursday was
participated in by about forty or
fifty. After the 81 Set lunch had
been partaken OF the picnicers
enjoyed themselves in swings and in
walking through the shady groves
of the Northside. BY some mistake
the picnic was not held at the
grounds originally picked out, hut
there are plenty of places suitable
for picnics on the NoIthside, and
the mistake cut no figure, except
that a few of the picnicers got lost
and had quite a time finding the
crowd.
Capt. Smith, the eccentric Spo.
kane character, whose popularity of
speech has given him a wide repu-
tation, was in town this week,
accompanied by his 15-year-old
wife, The Captain is rs. They
left on foot for Columbia Falls.
They are walking the entire dis
lance from Spokane, although he is
said to have plenty Of money.
Mr.. S. B. Wright informs the
HERALD that Northside citizens
propose to cut out wagon road
through to the Moyea, on the
bench, this fall. In fact the road
is nearly cut out now and teams
have been over it, 1t is almost a
natural roadway and is where the
county road should have been
built.
The United Silver ticket car
ried the day in Boise and that city

Galveston. Texas, April 2.-General STU
perintendent Rosslguio of the Santa Fe
railroad has returned from his work of re-
pairing the damage done to the road by
last Sundays storm. In talking of the mat
ter he said:
THE thing came on us Unexpectedly
Sunday night. and we had to gather up our
men to get to the breaks in the line. We
at once started out two gangs, one work
ing south from the north division and the
other started from here and working north.
In all. we had $50 men employed. We lett
here with the south end gang Sunday
night, and were at work all that night
picking up men and material for the Job.
The men had no sleep at all that night.
but they went at 1t Monday morning and
hustled in the mud and water all day.
Monday night the gang got about two
hours sleep. They worked all next day
aud that night they got only three hours
sleep. They kept at II, and by "Wednesday
noon the line was open and trains We're
running through on schedule time all along
tho line. In one place the men had 10

position. They did this without a murmur
and got through with a mighty tough Job.
"1n all we had eighty-four bcIts washed
away. affecting twenty-one bridges. These
washouts were between Valley Mills and
Blum, and between Cleburne and Dallas.
In all, 1900 feet Of track was washed OF the
dump and into the mud. These washouts
were between Valley Mills and Clifton,
Meridian and Morgan and Blum and kop-
perl. Tho longest washout was south OF
| Morgan, where twenty-threc bents OF
bridge and track were carried away. The
next longest break was the south approach
to tho Steel creek iron bridge, south of
Morgan. The approach was thirty feet
high, and eight bcnts were washed out,
leaving the deck hanging. 1t had to be
lacked up seven feet. The next break was
between valley Mills and Clifton, where
fourteen bcnts were washed away, and the
track was carried 800 feet from the dump
"Those are the most serious breaks, the
Others being smaller ~trestles. which were
readily repaired. SO far we have made no
estimate Of the money luss, as that is a
big lob. and SO many things have to be
taken into consideration in making such o
calculation. But We are In fine fix now, and
trains are moving all over the line without
