Contract For the Prairie Line is to be
Let This Week
THIS STATEMENT IS FINAL
Work Probably Begin at Once and Road
be Completed by Next Fall

At last definite word of the a.
warding of the contract for the
construction of the Northern
Pacific line across the prairie has
been given out and it is expected
the full statement will be made
public this week. The first news
came to Grangeville Tuesday in
a special telegram and this was
followed up Wednesday by a
telegram from j. P. Vollmer at
Tacoma to the Lewiston Trib-
une which read as follows: "You
may announce contract for build
ing Grangeville line will be
made public when President Ell
lott returns to St. Paul, which is
expected within a week" !"
The telegram sent to Grange
vile stated that the contract
would call for the completion of
the road to Grangeville by July
1st and that the road would be
here to carry out this years crop
without fail.
That this will be pleasing news
to the many residents of central
Idaho goes without saying. It
was expected that the contract
would be awarded last fall and
the delay caused many to be-
lieve it was just another bluff
and the road would never be
built for years to come. Others,
however, have had faith and felt
sure the contract would be a.
warded as soon as the necessary
arrangements could be made.
The news now given out shows
their belief was not misplaced
and the prairie country is at last
to be provided with proper trans
portation facilities. 1t is expect
ed that with the news of the a.
warding of the contract made
public work will be commenced
on the line at once and big crews
will be placed at work on the
tunnels to be driven near Guide
sac. Work on the prairie will
hardly begin before spring opens
up but then in all probability
forces of men will be put at
work all along the line to grade
up the road bed and erect the
various bridges and it is safe to
predict that most of the road
will be in shape for track laying
by the time the tunnels near
Culdesac are completed.
When work on the road is
really commenced all business in
this country will take on an add
ed impetus and great changes
and improvements will be made
by the time the road reaches
us.

Mr.. and Mrs. \. T Davis were very
pleasantly surprised several days ago
by a visit from their old friends, Mr.
and Mrs. b. Pascal Dixon, Of Della
ware. A period Of eighteen years had
elapsed since Mr.. Dixon last visited
his old friends, but the memory Of his
smiling face was still fresh in the
minds Of many who greeted him and
his charming wife with hearty
bandshake, and II was with many
mumurs Of regret at their short stay
that their friends bid them farewell
cautioning them not to let another
eighteen years pass before they come
again, and they left them with aprOm-
Use that one year should not elapse be-
fore they would again roam the green
fields Of old Virginia.

Teachers Meeting at Hampden-Sidnsy

4 small, but interested group of
teachers assembled in the chapel of
the old Seminary last Saturday morn
ing.
A very interesting and informing
paper was read by Miss Sally Dick
insOn on the religious history Of
Prince Edward county, giving much
important information a. to the found
ing Of the oldest churches in the
county, and as to the prominent fami-
lies Of Eye olden time" who were ac-
tive in the church life Of that day. AT
the close Of this paper all informal
conference was held aud many facts
Of interest bearing upon the early his
tory Of the county were contributed by
Major A. r. Venable. The next feat
ure Of the program was talk by Dr.
J. +. Messenger, Of the Normal School,
on Moral Training.
DR.. Messenger very ably presented
the relation Of the will and the con-
science towards moral conduct and
character and showed in most prac-
tical and convincing way the vital
importance Of early moral training in
the home and school. Many Of the
College boys and some Of the profess
ors were present to hear Dr. Messen-
ger, and spoke in high praise Of his
informal but informing talk.
As very few citizens were present in
the afternoon, the public meeting was
postponed, and will be held at Wor-
sham on Saturday, May 18th, at 10 a.
m. At that time the matters Of con-
solidating schools and raising the
school levy will be considered, and II
is highly important that all citizens
concerned will be present to give their
voice and vote. J. II. DAVIS, Supt.

Robert Booker the condemned muir
derer Of Charley Brown, both colored,
will expiate his crime upon the gallows
this morning.
a telegram received yesterday after
noon by the Sheriff from Governor
Swanson advised that there would be
no further interference.

after o'clock as the few remaining de-
tails are over. Rev. +. A. p. Cheek
and Rev. Nelson Jordan will conduct
brief religious services, and Sheriff
Dickinson will be assisted I'm this
grusome work by Chief FOCUS and
Deputy-Sherih Bliss. The witnesses
will be few in number

trap were thoroughly tested and ii is
believed the execution Of the Courts
sentence will be without an embarrass-
ing hitch. The rope TO be used was
loaned the Sheriff by the Amherst
authorities.
Booker is perfectly resigned, ex-
pressing himself as ready and willing
to face the terrible ordeal.
