The officers of Custer Lodge
No. 21, l. o. o. F. were duly in
stalled last Saturday uight.
1t looks as though the Reichs
and the Senate were both wait
ing for someone else to step on
the fuse.
1t is now stated that the Car
was not figuring on an American
built fleet after all. He was get
ting plans drawn for a cyclone
cellar.
A contemporary warns us that
the Capitalization bug has now
attacked the body politics. What
with the red tape worm, the graft
bacillus and the boil weevil, this
country is having an awful hard
time.
Probably the most important
single piece of business ever
transacted in this city, so far as
central Idaho and Boise is CON
cerned, was the meeting this
week at the Office of the Western
Surety & Adjustment company
in the Soma block, of the stock
holders of the SanFrancisco, Ida
no & Montana Railway company.
After electing a board of five di-
rectors, the executive officers,
all of whom are directors, were
elected as follows:
President-W VIM. Peyton Mason
Minneapolis.
First vice president @. III.
Fleming, Minneapolis.
Second vice PRESIDENT. A.
McGinty, Boise.
Sec. &C. T. Proper, Roise.
Treas. w E. Foran, Boise.
The important feature of the
meeting was the authorization of
the issue of bonds in the sum of
s., 100000, and the entering into
a contract with the Pacific De-
velopment company for the i'm
mediate construction of 13O miles
of road, extending from the
Snake river valley to Winnemuc-
ca, Nevada. The bonds are gold,
bearing 5 per cent interest, pay
able IN 5 to 20 years. The bonds
we're sold some time ago, and
will be cashed as soon as they
are made ready. Ofthe amount,
So, 100000 provided for, the sum
of 81, 100000 will be used to pay
for terminals in SanFrancisco
under option for several months.
Steel rails for 1870 miles of the
road have been purchased and
ties for 40 miles have been secur-
ed by the construction company.
Two locomotives to be used in
construction work have been
purchased, together with a guam
tity of other materials. Active
work on grade and bridge across
Snake river will begin as soon as
the weather will permit.
The line projected as hereto
fore described, will be built from
SanFrancisco to Butte by way of
Boise. 1t is given out that 9TH
er contracts will be let as soon
as the company securing today's
contract is well started. The
idea is to have work in progress
early in the summer along the
entire line between Boise and
SanFrancisco. Work on the
Butte end of the line will not
start unuil later in the summer.
