The Northern Pacific surveyors are
still encamped near the Saints home,
on Union fiat, and are making numer-
Gus surveys, and re-suryeys to find the
most available route for the line. Four

probable that as soon as the Lewiston
extension is completed, which will be
about the middle OF July, that the con-
struction gangs will be sent to Pullman,
and the new line built is Union flat in
short order. The grade is an easy one,
requiring but little work, and no rock
work at all.

held in Pullman in 1900, meetings being
held but once in two years.
