D. r. E. N. AND NJ. p. ENGINEERS
AT WORK AGAIN IN THE LEW
ISTON COUNTRY
Lewiston People Believe Attempt Is
Being Made to Block Lewiston
GrangeviIIe Electric Line

The developments Of yesterday very
strongly indicate that Lewiston is
again to be the center of activities in
revival of the celebrated Clearwater
railroad war of six years ago. The ar
rival of the N. p. surveyors at Lewis
ton and Culdesac yesterday closely fol-
lowing the closing of the contract on
the o. R. & N. to rush surveying
crews here, was chronicled yesterday
morning, says yesterdays Lewiston
Tribune.
The further information was pub
lished yesterday that the N. P. party
on reaching Lewiston had planned to
establish a camp on the electric line
right of way south of the city. The
developments of yesterday morning
proved such to be the case and visit
made by a Tribune reporter to Dill
Bros. tract of land a mile south of
manently established there with all the
men busy. The tent of Engineer Es-
tep is located not more than ten feet
distant from the old grade of the N.
P, which now embraces right of way
decided to the electric line by Dill Bros.
In the afternoon Engineer Estep
brought his force Of men to the head
of Fifth street grade in the city AMI
started running a line south. The step
taken seems to leave no doubt that
the electric survey is to be paralleled.
From Culdesac, the Tribune secured
under Engineer Pollard departed early
yesterday morning, going in oppo-
site directions. Last night one party
had reached a point near the Golden
Rule mill, and the other was near Dub
lin Their definite destination will not
be known until today. 1t is apparent,
however, that the party at the Golden
Rule mill are to work in the territory
now covered by the electric line sur
veys, and it is probable that they will
work west to connect with the line be-
ing run out of Lewiston by Engineer
work towards Grangeville.
o. r. e. N. in the Field
AS announced yesterday morning the
steamer Spokane made a special run to
Riparia, leaving here at 4 o'clock in
the morning and the surmise, as to the
object of the trip, was correct. When
the boat reached Riparia yesterday
morning a party of o. r. & N sur
veyors, who had been fastened out of
Portland last night, was on the ground.
A telephone message received by the
Tribune last night stated that the boat
by telegraph from Portland to remain
there until more surveying crews could
reach that point from Portland. The
message stated that the additional
crews would arrive at Riparia last
night, and the boat was scheduled to
depart from Riparia at 8: 80 this morn
ing. The surveyors who arrived at
Riparia yesterday declined to talk, but
it is the view that the men are to come
direct to Lewiston, and then enter the
prairie country.
DEVELOPMENTS seem to assure that
N P and the o. r. & N are not work.
ing in harmony, as the latter did not
attempt to move men mere until the
N. P. crews had reached this field.
Then, as suggested by the use OF the
steamer for a special run, the Oregon
road proceeded to do things with
rush.

ASKS FOR RIGHT OF way
COLUMBIA RIVER RAILWAY &
NAVIGATION COMPANY NOW
IN THE FIELD
Representatives in WaIa Walla Seek
ing Rights of Way of WaIIa WAL
Ians Owning Land

A Representative of the Columbia
River Railway & Navigation company
is now in Walla Walla endeavoring to
secure from Walla Walla parties own
ing lands along the north bank of the
Columbia river, options for a right of
way through their lands for railroad.
Options for a right of way along the
Columbia from Kennewick to Kalama
are being asked for, and it is believed
that the promise of the Northern Pa
cific made years ago, that it would
build line down the north bank of the
Columbia is now about to be fulfilled,
as there is little question that the
Columbia River & Navigation company
ests. The appearance of a represen-
tative of the Hill crowd at this time is
significant in view of the fact that
Northern Pacific and Oregon Railway
& Navigation parties are displaying
unusual activity in the Lewiston coun-
try, lending strong probabilities to ru-
mors that the railroad war which
threatened to involve the Hill and Har-
riman interests in a fierce struggle for
business in the northwest territory
three years ago, is about to be reenact-
ed, and that the coming year will see
tracks laid in territory that heretofore
has remained undeveloped through the
lack of railway facilities. Before the
present struggle is over, if there is
one between the two powerful railroad
interests, those who are in a position
two years the Northern Pacific will
continue its w. & G.. r. branch line
either from Walla Walla or Athena
into the Wallowa country, build the
proposed line down the north bank of
the Columbia from Kennewick to a sea
terminal, and also start work On the
line from Lewiston into tine Grange
vile country, while the o. R. & N. will
construct the Lewiston Riparia branch
and may continue it's Elgin branch on
further into the Wallowa country.
Must Buy Right Of Way
Several Walla Wallans who have
been approached for right of way
through their lands have intimated to
the representative now in Walla Walla
that it will be necessary for the COM
pany to purchase outright any right of
way secured. These Walla Wallans
who own lands directly on or near the
Columbia have great faith in the port
age railway proving a success, and
that a railroad through their lands
would not enhance them in value to
any great exent or that they would be
able to secure any cheaper rates on
their freight than the portage railway
will be able to give.

Discourage Electric Line

However, there are mony who be-
1ieve the roads are entering the field
to discourage the electric line, but the
promoters of the latter road are not
dismayed, and predictions were freely
made that the electric line would be
the first to throw dirt. Out of the
conflicting speculation it can at least
be said that the people of the region
that is benefited were never more so
confident and cheerful that transporta-
ton is to be provided. The Tribune
has used every avenue of inquiry
which might throw some light on the
meaning of it all, but the results leave
a blank doubt as to any detail plans of
the roads, but the Tribune firmly be-
lieveS that e. least once railroad is to
be built this year, with the electric

pect good for one of the old lines
breaking through the mountains and
placing the Lewiston region on the
main line.

DIRECTORS JOB NO SiNECURE.
RidgeIey Tells How Directories May
Prevent Oscillations

BOSTON,, May 16.-William Barrett
Ridgely, controller of currency, recent
ly delivered an address before the Bank
Cashiers Association of Massachusetts
His subject was bank defalcations and
means of avoiding them, and is of spe-
cial interest just now. He said, in
part:
The ruin of bank is practically al
ways the result of fraud or the use of
it's funds in undue and unlawful sums
by it's officers and directors This
money is sometimes lost in legitimate
enterprises, through bad judgment and
mismanagement, but far the most fire.
quent cause for actual stealing or de-
falcations in banks is speculation. No
one knows, until ne tries it, how great
that temptation is or can be sure he
can resist it. The only safe way is to
avoid it.
IF customers and depositors would
discriminate more closely between
banks and take their deposits to those
run only on conservative principles by
careful prudent men, who devote
themselves to the interest and welfare
of the bank rather than large enter
prises out of it, whose directors are
substantial rather than spectacular,
and if shareholders were more care
full of the character of the men whom
they elect to represent them on boards
of directors, it would accomplish much
more than can be done by any law to
prevent speculation.
In many cases of failure, the direc-
tors are as much surprised as any one,
simply because they have not exercis-
ed their rights and performed their
duties as they have sworn to do. In
such cases, they are more to blame
than anyone.
THE duty of bank director requir-
es that ne should know positively that
me affairs of the bank are being prop
erly managed. Meetings of the direc-
tors should be held regularly and fire.
quently, and be we'll attended by all
the members of the board. At these
meetings the officers should be requir-
ed to make full, complete and intelli-
gent reports in such form and detail
as to be easily understood by the di-
transactions should be reported and
passed upon, and especially all notes
and securities should be submitted for
the personal inspection of the members
of the board who are not active Off
GERS. All loans to officers and direc-
tors should be more closely scrutinized
and examined than any others, and the
amount of their total liabilities clearly
understood. In addition to such ex-
hibitions as are made at regular meet
ings, the directors should have fire.
quent thorough examinations made by
committees of the board, or experts
employed for that purpose. These
should be made independently of the
active officers of the bank and with all
the incredulity of the proverbia1 Mis-
sourian, everything should be shown
and no mans word taken for anything
Every clerk and every officer of the
bank should be examined and checked
up as thoroughly as possible. and re-

A Great Mystery

Of course, with the mystery the rail-
road situation has assumed, there is
wide variety of opinion as to what the
old roads really mean to do, but on
its face the logical view appears to be
that the old war has been revived
that the rivals are to fight it out for
the water grade short route to the sea.
A word of explanation here as to the
issues involved five years ago might
make clear the possibilities of the con-
hict which now seems to be in prog
ress. When the n. P. built into Lew
iston and captured the o. R. & n. bus
mess the latter road started to build

Lewiston to Grangeville, with the fur

and thence down the north bank of
that stream to Portland, also that a
