RAILROAD WORK

About Plans of the
Northern Pacific

There will be a large amount Of
work done in Lewiston by the railroad
companies during the coming spring,
and they are making every perepara-
ton to rush their construction and
employ~large crews of men.
Such is the inference gathered from
a conversation with c. M. Levy, third
vice president Of the Northern Pa
cifiic railroad company, who is spend
ing the day in Lewiston.
Il am only here on business" said
Mr.. Levy. There is nothing special
that brings me here at this time.

4 gineer who has charge of the con

Mr.. Levy. however, would give M
information as to his plans for tn
depot. He stated that he had Wis
lited the proposed site on the Bostol
property during the morning ant
that he would be in the city durinl
the day, and would look over tn

in connecting up the two lines.
Regarding the work on the o. r

that his own opinion that the Allison
amendment in no way changed the
court review as provided in the origi-

of Attorney General Moody and Sec

generals letter gives an account at

Tillman and Bailey eyregarding the court
review feature. He says he advised
the president that he should not at
any stage become finally computed
beyond recall to any form OF Ian
guage in any part of the bill and the
president affirmed the wisdom of thae
course. He reviews the discussions

and himself which bound the presi-

IN Open MARKET
THAT'S THE WAY TO GET CANAL
SUPPLIES.
President Roosevelt Approves the
Recommendation of Secretary of
War Taft to Purchase Material for
the Canal in the Open Market.

Washington, May 15.-President
Roosevelt today transmitted to con-
gress a letter from Secretary Taft
accompanied by numerous appendices,
bearing on the controverted question
of the right of the isthmian canal
commission to purchase supplies
abroad If they can be secured cheap
er than In America. The president
simply states that the views expressed
by Secretary Taft in the affirmative
have his full approval. The letter OF
Secretary Taft to the president relates
to the purchase of dredges for use i'm
the construction of the Panama canal
Secretary Taft also refers to a small
quantity of cement which was bought
in foreign market and says the invest
igation shows that the cement waS
bought cheaper in the foreign market
than 1t could be bought at home. He
says an enormous amount OF cement
will have to be bought for the canat
and i'm view Of the lack of specific i'm.
structions from congress as To where
supplies shall be bought and in View
of the fact that Panama is outside the
tariff wall surrounding The United
States, all other conditions as to quail
ity being equal, 1t is the duty of the
commission to buy where It can buy
the cheapest.
