TWO ENGINEERING PARTIES
REPRESENTING RIVAL INTER-
ESTS, ARE AT WORK.
Much Comment in Railroad Circles
N. P. and Chicago G. Milwaukee
After Rights of Way.

Considerable comment in railroad
circles has arisen over the report that
two engineering parties, representing
widely different interests, are working
west down Snake river from Riparia.
One party is in charge of Engineer
Nickerson, formerly employed in the
office of the division superintendent of
the Northern Pacific at Lewiston. 1t
is pretty certain that Nickerson is still
in the employ of the Northern Pacific.
Nickerson's party is running a survey
down the north bank of the Snake.
The other party of surveyors is un-
der Engineer George Leebrick and they
are also on the north bank, but run
ming a line above that of the otner
party going in the same direction. In
Riparia the opinion prevails that the
Leebrick party is either employed by
the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul
road or the 0. r. & n. and in the
event of the latter being true the story
is that there has been a breach in the
truce between the Pacific and the o
r. & n.
Neither Division Engineer T. H
Croswell. of the Northern Pacific. mol
Chief Engineer G. w. Boeschke, of the
To- r. & N. would discuss the presence
of the new surveying parties at Ri
| paria.

rial department. were here a few days
ago for the purpose of investigating
the antecedents of the Swedish divine.
They gathered the information and left
last night for Denver, where the widow
of the deceased minister resides with
her son.
The members of Rev. Mr.. Carlson's
church are deeply interested in the
confirmation of rumors that were cur
rent even before the ENJOYS arrived in
the city.
To a few Of his personal friends it
is claimed that Mr.. Carlson con f1ded

forestry inspector in the Yellowstone

Mr.. Anderson owns a ranch near
Meeteetsie. Wyo., and spends the sum-
mers in the west. He took up forest
r. for love of the work and Chief
Pinchot appointed him superintendent
He brought an array of accessories to
hear in his official duties that dazzled
the common people. He was the presi-
dents friend, but his pull did not
avail him against the charge of being
a dude He rode the reserve like
soma feudal lord and among the sew
eral charges filed against him was that
he had valet and a private secretary.
The president laughed at these, but
circumscribed the sphere OF his infiu-
ence by reducing him to be an lnspec-
tor.
The complaints continued. The old
grizzled frontiersmen called him Rob
in Hood Anderson. They did not
like his riding boots his green costume
that blended wit the color of the for
est leaves, or his valet. The Wyo-
ming delegation in congress took i, up.
The president yielded finally.
