the motive strong enough to incite
a desperate mind, already steeped
in wrong doing, to so foul and cruel a
murder. Did he do it? Was he re-

from meeting the dead mans wife the

that night. He was very much ex-
cited the next morning and went and
purchased a revolver. The clerks
present at the sale state that at that

Railroad.
hundred

! Spokane, Wash.-One hundred
miles of railroad that will tap one O
the richest districts of its size in TIL,
west.
The construction of the road ovel
the old lines mapped out long ago
carrying out one of the plans for the
! development of the country fOrmu
lated in the minds of railroad officials
many years ago.
The long looked for railroad into
! the famous Nez Perez country.
These are some of the things plan
| ned for the future it is stated by the
! O. R. & N. road. Rumor is current
among the O. R. & n officials to the
effect that such a move is contem-
plated by that company And it is
also stated that the work may be
commenced on the new line within
the year
Many years ago the company start
ed to run a road from Riparia, Wash,
to Lewiston, Idaho. The move was
started to the extent that the grad
ing between these points was begun.
For some reason the company
ceased operations on the railroad and
started boat line up the Snake
river At the time the work ceased
it appeared that the Northern Pacific,
in conjunction with the O. R. & n.
were putting a joint road. The right
of way being owned by the latter COM
pany, while the Northern Pacific was
to do the construction work A mis-
understanding arose and work ceased
abruptly. Now the plan seems to be
for the o. R. & N. to alone put the
road in, using their right of way and !
the old grade.
The distance from Riparia to Lew
iston is estimated close on to 100
miles, and it is stated on good auth
Ority that the company have survey
Ors in the field now running the pre-
Urinary survey again. d
It is also stated that the company
tp35 not pIdu TO stop at son, |
Juo push the new road far into the
Nez Perez country. Several years
go an old ssuryey was made on the
opposite side Of the Clearwater river
rom the present Northern Pacific
Dad and it is likely that the new line
VIII take that course.
From the present indications the
cad is likely to be a go. The Nez
oerce territory is one of the richest
ruit regions in the west. and the dis
lays at the Spokane Interstate Fair
rom year to year have carried away
large share of the premiums offered.
A rich country is tributary to the
lOrth and east Of the Clearwater
