BUILD ALONG SNAKE.
lewiston III I'm tingtOn Road Seems
to be Assured.

!
Spokane, Wash, Nov. I'm. O.
Reed, the Colfax attorney, who bas
been East financing the Lewiston and
Owyhee Railroad, gives assurance that
the enterprise 70 open Eastern Oregon
and the Western border is 90. Mr.
Reed returned yesterday from New
York where he has been for the past te
weeks in the interest of the enterprise.
He said today:
"We receiving bids now, and viii
start actual work about next March
We have sufficient money now to run us
for whole year, the names of the
people who are back of us, I cannot
give out, but they are men whose
standing is such as to assure the success
of the road,
"The New York Security & Trust
Company is to act as trustee, and the
bonds will be issued a. the road is com
pleted in sections of ten miles each.
The bonds, which are to be 3O.year 5
per cent bonds, will be issued about the
first of the year, but, of course, will not
be delivered at that time.
"For the present we will give our at
tentlon to the line between Huntington
and Lewiston, distance of 1S1 miles.
The line from Huntington to Alturas,
Cal, distance of 47O miles, and the
one from Lewiston to Wenatchee, a
distance of It's miles. will be after con-
siderations.
"We will build the lewiston Hunt
lngton line first. This will take about
two years. The route between Hunt.
ington and Lewiston, will be along the
Snake River. We will follow the river
all the way, 1t was estimated by our
engineer that there were 700 tons of ore
per day tributary to this route.
eve will follow the west side of the
Snake River, and 50 will be lust across
the river from the Seven Devils country.
The longest haul from any part of the
Seven Devils country will be five or six
miles. 1t will put all the mines in that
country on paying basis.
In addition to this, we pass right by
the Cornucopla, Iron Dyke and nnaha
districts, opening up many valuable
8 'ctons of the country. The lumber
industry along the route will be another
source of revenue.
"We will have fine road. the great. !
est grade being not more than half of |
per cent. The road will be a standard
gauge steam road"

La Grande, Or Nov. II A letter or

A Mhistling Oyster.

The proprietor of a London chop
house some years ago made fame and
fortune by the discovery of musical
oyster. y distinct whistling sound
came from newly opened barrel of
oysters. With eagerness he hunted

which seemed to amuse itself by
whistling. The innkeeper advertised
it, and hundreds came daily to his
hostelry to listen to the musical oyster
In due time the oyster died. and its
secret died with it. 1t is supposed
that the sound was caused by the in
