sent to Charles Francis Adams at Boston
The o. r. < n. company has been bar

venerable Indian widow expressed pro-
gressive spirit and said she would be

Condemnation suits will be filed itnme-
diately against all who refuse the offers

bridge and wagon bridge will be built at
the same time whether from the Point or
at some other location on the east side

The Clearwater division will begin at

mand comes for them This road will
be pushed up Clearwater as fast as pos
sible to place the company in position to
begin the construction of the Clearwater
bridge during the favorable summer
stage of water. This work has been de-
layed by the ice blockade in the Snake

struction outfits and material.
