At present the camp is in the i'm

slowly working their way eastward.
MIR. Mcclellan is the representative
of Fl. B. Carpenter, the engineer
commissioned by the United States

His trip to Missoula Is for the pur,
pose OF ordering supplies for the
camp.
There are twety-two men in the
party and they have thirty seven
pack horses and niue saddle horses.
The party began work the first of June
at Heron and will stay in the
mountains until the snow drives them
out. They expect to reach a point
near the head Of the Bitter Root
valley beore the work Il suspended

needed by the camp during the

railroad accidents, that during 1903
there we're 9, $40 fatalities In America
from this cause Ii ID shown that
deaths from railroad accidents Ia
this country average one person TO

in Great Britain the rate Is one

American railroads carried only 694, !

there were $50 killed and s,23l
