James J. Hill Expected to Push Line
from Gulf to Coast with
Fresh Vigor.

According TO Boston dispatches it has
finally been decided that the Chicago.
Burlington & Quincy road will pass
into the control of the Great Northern
railroad, and the price has been fixed
in the neighborhoOd of s30,OO0,O00
The transfer will be made as soon as
the time is propitiOus. The problem
of means is now being worked out by
the parties at interest. the Great North
ern and the Northern Pacific.
End of Year May See Transfer
Much depends upon the financial sit
uation. but the matter is likely to be
cleared up by the close of the year.
The property is owned Jointly by the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern.
but the statutes precluded the Northern
Pacific acquiring it. as the two roads
are parallel in places. and the Great
Northern was the only logical ultimate
owner
The price of $30.000.00 amounts TO
about 500 per share on Northern Pa
cilics $50. 100000 stock, which will go
into the treasury for the benefit of
stockholders.

Nezperce. Idaho, July 1s.-(By Neg

commenced ON the prairie, and a num-
Der Of the farmers are now at work.
There is an exceptionally large crop
Of hay this year. as the straw is very
rank everywhere on account Of the
late rains.
The hot weather has brought haying
on few days earlier than was ex-
pected. but the weather has moderated
some IN the past few days and 1t is
not thought that harvest will be much
earlier than usual. 1t is thought from
present Indications that the harvest
will commence In about one month.
An exhaustive investigation Of the
country Immediately surrounding
Nezperce made by some Of the people
in the city shows that nowhere has
the grain been the least bit damaged
by the hot weather, and this win be
banner year for crops in this part
Of the country.
