In the matter Of letting the con-

nishing Of the county jail, the follow
ing bids for to furnish all steel, in
Guiding cells, window grating, doors,
etc. were found on file with the COun-
" clerk, which were opened and ex-
amined:

Bid Of z. T Barnum Iron Works Of
Detroit, Mich, for S2,55O.
Bid Of the Pauly Jail Building Co
Of St Louis. No, for S3,17S.
And on the two first bids were a
tie, the contract was let to E T Bar
mum Iron Works OF Detroit, Mich, for
the reason the Stewart Jail Works Co.
had no certified check Of $500 on file
as the publication notice for bids re-
quired. There was only one bid on the
construction Of said jail furnished by
Williams & Shaw Of GOOdland, Kan,
which was rejected, amount Of said
bid being STATS.
The board considered the prOpOsi-
ton and concluded il would be cheap
er for the county to furnish material
and hire labor and build said jail
themselves, and probably get more
satisfactory building.
There being no further business in
order the board adjourned TO meet

AS to Lolo Pass.
For many a day after the boot of the
first surveyor leaped over the skyline
in Lolo pass and trod the route down

Office of the Northern Pacific in ST
Paul, while the engineers ran other
lines, and built other routes to the
Pacific beyond. Other roads cast long.
ing eyes upon the Lolo pass and the
Clearwater valley, but the heel of the
Northern Pacific engineer had left a
deep and plainly visible mark, SO they
must perforce pass it by. To the North
ern Pacific it meant the cutting OFF of
two hundred miles between St Paul
and tho coast, some one who could see
that the times would change kept
watchful eye upon the route. Many
years ago, nine in fact, the Northern
Pacific and the Oregon Railroad & Nav
Pacifc) entered into gentlemen S
agreement whereby neither should
enter the Clearwater valley with
view to making IT the means of egress
from over the Rockies to the sea, Both
realized the Importance of the field,
that line through the valley would
have, both knew of the great cost, and
both were aware that sooner or later
some one would build it.
The Northern Pacific had, previous to
the consumation of this agreement, al
ready constituted line from Marshall
Junction, in Washington, TO Moscow,
Idaho, and then to Lewiston. A few
years suficed to show traffic officials
of the Northern Pacific that this coun-
try was of such value to the road, both
as regards tonnage and as regards it's
strategic position, that its lines in the
vicinity Of Lewiston and in the upper
Clearwater were extended we'll up to-
ward Lolo pass. With its line already
extended from Lewiston to Stiles, and
from Lewiston to Grangeville and Cul-
desac, with the steel striding ever TO-
ward the divide in the Lolo pass, the
Northern Pacific is ready at any mo-
ment to build the miles between, and to
shorten the transcontipental haul by
two hundred miles.

Once upon n time, the president of

Senator, sat upon the observation plat

the view was unsurpassed, so that they

estly and 20 the point The president
was an old man and very wise, who had
been at the head OF the railroad for
great many years, SO that he knew
quite little about railroadingr about
Idaho and Senators-not 70 mention
other less important things. The Sena,
tor was neither old nor very young,
but he knew a great deal about the
Northwest, considerable amount
about Idaho, and he knew the Presi-
dent very well. AT last, as he lit
another cigar Che couldn't begin to
drink with railroad president, even
il he was a Senator), he launched out
into the subject that just at that mo-
ment appealed to him.

matter, Just so it is built. Here is
road that cost twenty million dollars.
Twenty million dollars for forty miles.
The engineers found that they must
cross the Panhandle, the southwestern
branch of the Pennsylvania system,
dozen times in the forty miles. Every
crossing must be made at height OF
over twenty feet above the rival road,
This precluded any possibility Of using
natural watercourses (tbe Panhandle
had all these pre-empted), so they must
necessarily go over. Yet there is no
grade on the whole division Of more
than four~tenths per cent, Qess than
curve Of more than three degrees. So
the Wabash entered Pittsburg, the
greatest city for originating tonnage
in the world, greater than the three
largest cities in the country put to-
getber The principle then, that rail
road can go most anywhere that it's
engineers can 90, was we'll tried out.
and found true.
Great Inland Empire.
In the three States of the Northwest,
in Oregon, Washington and Idaho,
there is country vaster than three

iron and gold and other precious metals.
that must be hauled some place. Here
is country that will develop more big
traffic producing towns in a decade,
than will spring up in Pennsylvania IN
O century. 1t is possible that even IN
the Northwest, the Salmon river is
practically unknown, Still it is large
stream, only inferior to the Snake and
Columbia in SIZE in the whole North
west. IT is not navigable for any por-
ton, but down its canyon railroad
with an eye to an easy grade could
build with but little more difficulty
than it could build through the rolling
Palouse country. Its course, while not
straight, is generally Just little north
of west Think then of the Union Pa
cifc with It's gradual trend of north of
west, coming from Omaha to Portland,
for Portland is the terminus Of the
Union Pacific, the city upon whose flu
ture it banks its faith. To climb the
Blue Mountains of Oregon, it is neces.
sary that the Union Pacific expend
countless tons of coal per mile The
cost Of maintenance on this mountain
division, as with the Northern Pacific
on its mountain divisions, is enormous,
and the wear on rolling stock is great.
Already the Oregon Railroad & Nav
igation company has built the line, now
almost complete, from Riparia, Wash,
up the bank of tine Snake river, and
across the Clearwater TO Lewiston.
From Huntington, Wash, another
line, surveyed and asserted by engineers
