The Clearwater Cutoff

Engineer II. "A. clark has COM
pleted his preliminary survey of
the Clearwater cutoff line to the
summit Of the Bitter Roots from
the east. He reports a better
grade than the one now used by
the Northern Pacific. This fact
is of first importance to the res
idents Of the Clearwater district.
1t has always been a question
whether an available pass could be
found for this cutoff, till this vet
eran engineer determined the mat
ter beyond doubt.
The Clearwater cutoff. with an
improved grade, means good deal
to the Northern Pacific system.
The distance from the Pacific to
the great lakes Is shortened 100
miles by this route. This item
alone, without the consideration of
the question Of reduced grades.
means a saving of ten per cent
in the operating expenses Of the
great road. One engine in ten, one
man in ten can be dispensed with
in the handling of transcontinental
traffic over this new route. This
means increased profits and saw
ings. This ten per cent saving will
surely hasten the construction Of
this cutoff. Well-informed railroad
men say the discovery of this pass
has aroused interest in railroad cir.
cles along the line. All transcon-
tinental connections are being i'm.
proved in sympathy with I'M
proved prospects for expeditions
and economical through traffic
The O. r. & N. system is straight
ening curves and reducing grade:
at all points on the Pacific slope
and the Great Northern is sparine
no pains to reduce distances ant
expenses of operation by the com
pletion OF tunnels and reducing
grades and curves. The economy
Of reduced distances and grades
has taken a new hold on all thu
railroad managers.
The Northern Pacific, however
holds the key to the greatest OF al
economic strokes. The Northern
Is forcing all the other roads t
strenuous efforts to meet the i'm
perious demand for low grades
long curves and short hails. In
time is known to be at hand TO
this great railroad stroke Of polio
to be executed.

one as the trains can neither be seen

but they pay no attention TO 1t. By
the time they have a few bills to pay,
and some one is killed they may
awaken TO the matter. 1t is a perfect
shame! and we only echo the senti-
ments OF nearly every one, that the
Pere Marquette railroad through here
is only curse TO us. They have not
dealt fairly with us. First, we must
give to them the right of way and
every thing else they see fit to demand g,
and even TO board and labor free of
charge. Then we must change the
name OF our village, next buy and deed
to them place for the depot and then
they must need build il mile farther

called Vergennes. neither will the viii
lage of Grattan allow it called after

it is and many will not patronize them,
