MILWAUKEE, Wis, January 25.-
Within four weeks the entire route of
the Chicago, Milwaukee s. St. Paul
railroad to the Pacific coast will be
determined, in the opinion of the Of
ficers high in the company. Survey
ors are now working on the route In
many places. Butte, Montana, is to
be one of the lain division points on

parties OF surveyors are now working
east and west from there. Seven par.
ties OF surveyors are laying out the
route from Seattle to the Montana
line. Extraordinary speed must be
made II the whole line is completed as
planned within three years, say the
officials. Present arrangements are
to build east from Seattle under the
name of the Pacific company and west
from the Missouri river in South Da.
kota, also east and west from Butte,
Montana. Building from Butte will
require the renting or owning of large
yards there and the establishment
there of a complete small railroad
before connection Is made with the
eastern or western divisions.

WashOuts In WashiustOn.

PORTLAND, Oregon, Jan. 26.-The
Northern Pacific Railroad company
Is battling with one of the worst wash.
outs ever experienced In the northwest
on its line between Pasco and Spo-
kane.
Between 25 and 30 miles Of the
tracks have been washed away by the
sudden thawing of the SHOWS that were
piled high along the tracks, aud the
company has been forced to use the
Oregon Railroad & Navig alton tracks
from Spokane to Wallula. All pas
senger trains Of the Northern Pacific
company between these points have
been handled by the o. r. Il N. for
two days, and the freight traffic OF
the Hill road has been practically at

Stickney Praises Roosevelt.

CHICAGO, Jan. 26.-President A. B.
Stickney, of the Chicago Great West
ern spoke last night at the banquet OF
the real estate board on 1.-THE Rail.
ways and the People," He said:
1.-THE country is indebted to Theo-
dore Roosevelt as president for the
courageous course he has taken in re.
gard to legislative control OF the rail-
road rates. If this principle is incor-
porated in the bill which shall become
the law it will be an assertion on the
part Of congress of its rights to fix all
railway rates. For this purpose the
enactment of such a law will be i'm
mensely valuable, because it will be a
precedent in future legislation when
the whole problem shall come intelli-
gently before congress in the final
contest, which will sooner or later
come"

See America First.

SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 25.-The
"See America First convention,
which convened here today in response
to call sent out by the Commercial
club OF this city, is the first one of its
kind ever held In this country. II the
plans of the promoters Of the move
ment are realized. the convention will
mean the first step toward diverting q
large part Of the travelling in this
country toward the west, and thus
greatly benedting this part OF the
country.
The object of the movement is to at.
tract the travelling public of this coun.
try to the west, which, in the opinion
of the friends of the movement, offers
many highly attractive and interesting
features. 1t is not yet decided by VIII at
means the convention will try to &C.
complish it's ends, but it is probable
that it will favor the starting of local
and state booms throughout the west,
the arranging Of excursions to the
various states and to particularly in.
teresting points, the advertising of the
important features of interest in each
one of the western states, etc. The
state governments and western rail.
roads will be asked for their support
of the movement. which would be OF
enormous benefit to the entire west.

becomes necessary will involve the
taking of large volume of testimony,
and will last for perhaps three weeks.

Neither made an advance, however,
