Excursion to Portage.

The trip to the portage road by
steamer Mountain Gem on june 2
is now being advertised in all Of
the larger cities OF the inland en-
pire, and it is believed that the
full passenger quota will be sold
out. The Mountain Gem will
carry those who desire to make
the river trip and be present to
participate in the formal opening
Of the portage road to the public.
The steamer will leave Lewiston
ON the morning Of June 2 and will
give q rate OF "a TO the portage
road and from Walla Walla the
rate will be So. An effort is now
being made to secure q satisfactory
rate from Portland to Lewiston
over the Northern Pacific or o. r
& N. by which the excursionist
can go to Portland by the rive
route and after spending few day
at the fair, return home by raj
transportation. The steamer
Mountain Gem will return t.
Lewiston the day following thu
opening exercises, but it is expect
ed the trip up river will requir
about three days and few Of tn
excursionists will care to return b,
boat.
| It is planned to make the trip t,
the portage one long to be remem
bered rs the era of the new devel
opment for the inland empire
Special souvenir tickets will b
prepared for the occasion and vii

Base Ball Sunday.

The first game Of base ball to
be played here this season will take
place Sunday between the Grange
Vile and Nez Perce teams. Both
are good teams, in fact, the best on
the country and the game will be
watched with unusual interest.
The great distance between towns
in this part Of the state and the
heavy expense OF maintaining q
club has been q serious drawback
to successful base ball, but this
year, it is believed, some good
games will be played. Several of
the towns have strong teams, and
under a strictly business manage
ment there. is no reason why they
will not succeed. The game was
never more popular than now and
the people are willing to pay for
good entertainment.

THE RAILROADS

WILL Be GRADING IN SIXTY DAYS
Electric Road now has Right
of-way Complete.

The railroad situation continues
to be the all absorbing topic in
this county and the outlook APP
parently grows brighter every day.
The electric people are going
right ahead with their grading
with increased forces and during
the past week have practically
completed the work OF securing
righ + of-way over the entire line
from Lewiston to -Grangeville.
The matter Of securing the re-
mainder Of the subscriptions neces-
sary, has been pushed with vigor
and will be ready to turn over to
the board in . very few days.
An application for franchise to
build through the streets Of Lewis
ton has been made and will be
passed at the next meeting of the
council. When these preliminar-
Il les are completed, the board will
be ready to meet with Mr.. Cowper'
Thwait and close the contract
after which the contract for con.
struction will be awarded. Chic
Engineer Hill arrived here yester
day to look after terminal ground'
and will at once take the necess'
ary steps to secure desirable prop
erty. The Northern Pacific ha'
also been busy and Engineer Poll
lard, right-of way agents, Payne
and Mitchell, have spent severa
days here securing options OF
grounds needed for terminal pur
poses. They have secured an op
tion on 1S acres Of the Geo. Selma
deka property in the northwes
part Of town. The ground selecte
is nearly level and for yard pun
poses is perhaps the most snitabl
that could have been secured.
John P. Vollmer who is closel
connected with the Northern Pac
ffc, in an interview in the Lewi'
} ton Tribune, predicts that actu.
: construction will be commenced b
} that company within 60 days. A
, together the outlook is most favo
7 able and the future for Idaho an
Nez Perce counties was nevs
brighter. ~

WASHINGTON. d. c., June So
Four and possibly six OF the nine
great departments of the government
which are represented In the Presi.
dents Cabinet will have new execu.
tive heads by this time next year and
possibly sooner. This does not sig
nifty that there win DE that number
of designations within the ensuing
year. but when such designations as
are certain to come take effect there
will be a shifting about of other Cabi.
net officers.
Authoritative announcements have
been made that Secretary Shaw, OF
the treasury. and Attorney General
Moody will retire next year. Mr..
Shaw will relinquish his Office in
January or February.
Before he LETT Washington for his
summer sojourn at Oyster Bay. the
President gave out some tips. and
it is now possible to announce that
George B. Cortelyou, at present the
Postmaster General, will be the next
Secretary of the Treasury, The trans
fer of Mr.. Cortelyou to the Treasury
will necessitate, of course. the APP
pointment of new Postmaster Cen
eral.
Unless the President has reason
to change his mind. Charles ]. Bona.
parte, of Maryland, who becomes Sec
rotary of the Navy next Saturday,
will succeed Attorney General Moody
when the latter retires year hence.
1t was Mr.. Roosevelt's original plan
to place Secretary of War William
II. Taft at the head of the Depart
ment of Justice, but he has another
Office in mind for him IL Secretary
Hay should retire-that is, the State
portfolio.
Although reassur!ng reports are
coming from Secretary Hays sum-
mer home in New Hampshire and
there is no reason to anticipate he
will not be well again soon, his latest
illness has led to general belief
that he will not care to undertake his
official duties again for a long period.
Mr.. Hay is very solicltous of his own
nedLtls anu tue lcdL III Iue WulJe
House circle is that he will soon go
into retirement.
There is indisputable authority for
the statement that the President has
thought OF asking Elihu Root. former
Secretary of War, to return to the
Cabinet as Secretary of State. But
from what was learned to-day he has
about concluded not TO do SO. wheth-
err or not this decision is due to Mr..
Roots determination to re-enter pub
lie life remains to be disclosed.
The President. therefore, is turn
ing to his versatile Secretary of War.
and the indications now are that Mr..
Taft will be the next Secretary of
State. With Bonaparte going to the
Department of Justice and Taft to
the State Department. the President
will have to name new Secretary of
