CHEAP STAGE FARE.

According to those going and
coming between Redroek and
Salmon, the war between the
Montana & Idaho Stage Line
company and the Redrock s
Salmon River company running
between Redrock and Salmon, IS
still on and hotter than ever
The round trip fare just at the
present time runs from 'fonr
bits to $3.50, so we are told.
F. W. yogler, manager of the
Redrock & Salmon River CON
pany. is getting the bulk of the
passenger travel owing to the
fact that his stages make the
trip either way in one day, while
the competing line takes two
days to go through
1t is reported that a change
will probably be made shortly in
which one line viii go out of
business. Negotiations are on
and off at different times between

ment may be reached any day.
