The Snake river and Clearwater
country is teeming with the periodical
dream of railroad construction and
with each visit of high officials of the
Northern Pacific or o. r. & N. specula-
ton runs rife with thoughts upper
most in the mind of the average Lew
istonian that THE time has come.
President Elliott of the Northern Pa
cific, together with n party of ofncials
and friends arrived in the city today
from Sites on special train. leaving
again for Spokane within an hour. The
visitors were met at the train by rep
resentative business men of Lewiston
and Charleston. Very little information
was elected from any of the party reia-
| tive to construction in this territory
and in answer to the questions pro-
bounded the usual sterotypcd reply,
"out on inspection and pleasure was
brought forth.
Mr.. Elliott appeared in excellent
spirits when accosted by The Teller re-
porter and expressed himself as per-
fectly delighted with the climate here
When asked as to the object OF his
visit at this time. he said:
| "Our visit has no special signif
canoe. We have party of friends
with us from New York and Chicago
and had intended visiting at Yellow
stone Park for day but owing to TIT
heavy snowfall there We concluded Il
cut the visit out. Having an extra
day we concluded to allow our friend
to see the Palouse country and tn

Mr.. Hogan. an average of about $3 a
ton, and 1t can be mined and milled
for less than 81 a ton. Mr.. Hogan has
made a elaborate study Of mining and
milling methods. having spent six years
figuring out this one proposition. There
is hardly possibility of the figures
going wrong. Mr.. Hogan is one OF the
few men who is willing to impart his
information to others, and says that he
will cheerfully tell all he can to any
other man who wants to develop this
country. This is one reason for the To-
cal interest in the mill. for there ART
many other properties OF the same
character in this section, and all will
profit largely by Mr.. Hogan's researcf
and experience.

ENGINEERS ARE IN THE FIELD
SAID TO Be 0. R. & n. men
Believed that Result Of Merger Case Will Re.
new Railroad War in This Section
of the Country

in view of the recent decision in the
Northern Securities merger case it is
believed that the o. r. & N. Co. is pre-
pairing for the possibility of a railroad
war in the Pacific Northwest in which
event Lewiston will be one of tn piv-
otAl points Of operation. With the dis
tribution of stock of the Securities
company the Hill combine would Sc
cure possession of the Northern Pa
cific leaving Hartman with the O. r.
& N. in his hands. In the event Of a
railroad struggle for supremacy in this
territory it is reasonable to presume
that the Missoula CUTOFF would be the
first piece Of work to be taken up by
the Hill interests thus securing a water
grade and a shorter line to the coast
The o. r. & N. would of necessity rush
to completion the Riparia branch and
the Elgin- Lewiston line and also ex-
| tend it's lines to the Camas Prairie
country and possibly reaching the Buff
falo Hump country. There is much
chance to elaborate on the various
plans that might be carried out should
the old fight of few years ago be
resumed, but as yet no word has beer
given out by either OF the combined in.
terests that fight is really on ani
anything said on the subject is largely
speculation. Taking all things into
consideration the Lewiston public !!
perfectly willing that the war shoult
be resumed at once which can only re
suit to the decided benefit of the entir,
section known as Central Idaho.

WAS THRILLING
EXPERIENCE
Idaho Couple Met With Peculiar
Experience at Twin
Falls

The closing of the big dam on the
Snake river at Twin Falls recently in
order to fill the irrigation bitches is
said to have resulted disastrously to
one couple who went to see the opera
ton. A man and his wife from Oakley,
Idaho, were among the hundreds who
were drawn thither, and on their ar
rival they were unable to find sleeping
apartments. every available spot hav-
ing been taken by the sightseers. When
night came and they could find no
place. the man and his wife, whose
names no one appears to have learned.
are said to have decided to go over to
the middle of the river and spend the
night on the little rocky island i'm the
middle of the stream. There was an
inviting cedar tree ~svhich had taken
root in some loose dirt. standing all
alone on top Of the rock" says the re-
port, land altogether the place seemed

The water had been turned from the
river into the big reservoir on Wednes-
day morning, and the sightseers had
spent much of their time during the
afternoon walking about in the bed OF
the stream. below the dam. exploring
many a hitherto unsupported nook and
finding many a peculiar stone. There
was no trouble. therefore. in reaching
the island whose rock foundn tion had
enabled it to withstand the ravages OF
the river for centuries past. There
was no fear of being cut off before

engineers had estimated the filling OF
the big reservoir. even with the mighty
volume of the Snake, would require al
least three days.
