The transportation committe
have endeavored to secure a specia
train for the purpose of rushin
the delegates through to Lewiston
but it is found that this cannot b
done at any reasonable cost bt
cause the Clearwater Short Lin
has but the one jerkwater equiv
ment which is in daily use, and
special train would have to t
brought down from Spokane at
prohibitive cost. 1t is expects
that the regular daily train servie
will be expedited for this occasio
by one hour, which will enable tt
delegates to be brought up on MOI
day evening without the necessit
of laying over all night at Site
SO that they can spend the night
Grangeville for refreshment an
sleep before engaging in the acti,
work of the session on Tuesda
morning. 1t is expected that tn
arrangement will be consummate'
intellectually, we may remark th
this arrangement could be MAJ
permanent with great benefit to Il
business interests of this town al
prairie.
