the Salmon River Railroad, who
are surveying in this valley,
spent the 4th in Challis, and
were highly pleased with the
celebration. While here they
said that the survey would strike
Salmon near Barr's bridge, and
we are informed, they claimed
the survey would then follow up
Salmon river on the east side, as
far as Crystal or Clayton.
People are dying by the scores
in the East from the excessive
hot weather. In New York City
one day last week it registered
los degrees. Better come to this
section of Idaho where we have
frost nearly every night.
