He was first married at Bryan Ohio
His second marriage was at Brooklyn, N.

Ready to Carry this Years Crop.

A contract was let week ago for the
construction of the proposed grain tram
way from the prairie down the KIOSK a
hill The contract goes to the San
Francisco Tramway Company, at a price
of $4,000, $500 of which is payable
when the order is placed for the machin-
cry, 1000 when the machinery is de-
livered at Kooskia, s., 100 when the tram
way is completed and s., 200 at the ex-
piration of 80 days trial. 1t is expected
to have the tramway in operation not
later than August Ist. and possibly some
time in July. 1t will be ready to move
OF this years crop OF grain. Not quit all
the stock has been subscribed, but the
prospect OF good profit will make the
stock easily salable. The tramwav is to
be of sufficient capacity to handle large
goods-groceries, machinery, and almost
anything that may be shipped in or out.
For this reason, it should be much more
profitable to operate than one for grain
interchangeable Standard.

That Jim Hill Roed.

The belief that Jim Hill will construct
a. north and south line as outlined in the
News several days ago will not down, but
on the contrary becomes stronger as new
developments appear. A story comes by
way of Portland that Hills emssaries
are studying the conditions for road
from Seattle to San Francisco, but those
conversant with the route say such one
would be impracticable, as such road
could be built cheaper from Spokane
down the Snake river valley and would
traverse country not now occupied and
one which in rich in resources.
1t is settled fact among railroad men
that Mr.. Hill is going south, it being
only question of routes, with the latter
decidedly in favor. With this road COM
ing down the western section OF the state
and the Gould road striking the southern
mart of the state. it will mean much to
Boise. as both roads would be easily ac-
cessible for either a steam or electric
road.

from Pluma county to the effect thai
