corning that company's move,

they now are since the O. K.
Il N. Co. have released them
selves from the grasp of those
who had them handicapped,
and they are proving that they
mean to get a slice of the pud-
ding while it is going around.
1t is the intention of the II. p.
to extend, as soon as possible
to Denver, the Lapwai branch
in order to cut off the traffic of

DENVER, August Z. 1899.
Chief Engineer McHenry
and assistant chief, Mr.. Bieh.
Ter, of Tacoma, have been here
the past few days making a
thorough examination of the
present survey. They return
ed to Lewiston Saturday after
noon. In an interview they
stated that owing to the great
expense and difficult engineer
ing at Red Rock canyon they
concluded to make a personal
inspection and they have as a
result made some changes in
the grade at these points and
have sent Mr.. Russell and his
party down there this morning
to make the necessary changes.
He also emphasized the fact
that this branch would be con.
structed at once, but owing to
heavy work in the canyon it
would not be completed for at
least six months, and that &C.
tive work would be prosecuted
this winter. In reply to a ques.
ton as to a possible compro.
mise of the railroads now con.
tending for this field, he said
that he did not believe it, but
that both roads would un.
doubtedly build, as the coun-
try was big enough and pro
life enough for three or four
roads. He said the whole ge-
ography Of this county would
be changed inside of year.
A preliminary survey will be
made up Three Mile creek this
coming week, by Engineer
Nutting, and this route, if prac.
teal, may eventually result in
its adoption and the abandon,
ment of the Cottonwood route

discovered that a body of hot
water was being belched up in

let down a rope oyer $50 feet

area the depth of the lake is
only about twenty-five feet,
