Benson informs us work on the
Florence wire bridge wagon road,
which opens up the Bear Creek
country SO Grangeville is more ac-
cessable, is being pushed right

already completed. Ton after ton
of supplies have gone down in that
district this fall, due to the fact
that lower prices prevail here than
at Wesier, and with the completion
of the wagon road another great

cheaper freight rate than can be
procured by the southern route.

War In the Camp.

There was war in the railroad
camp west of town Monday and
after the smoke Of tie battle had
cleared away it was found one
member of the gang had his right
arm broken. As all the employees

were unable to speak English, it
was impossible to draw from them
the story of the trouble. But from
the information obtainable it seems

should educate the hands as well
az the head. Last month about six
million children entered our public
schools, of this number about one
in sixty will some day enter a col
lege or university and about one
in twenty-five will complete the
high school. The great majority
will be obliged to leave in the
grades and will have had no

the smaller cities might receive

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 27.-There was
greater confidence in the financial situation
this morning than there has been for some
weeks, and 1t was generally acknowledged
that large part Of the buying yesterday
represented q concerted movement to sup
port the stock market. Much importance
was attached to this class of buying because
heretofore the large interests have not been
inclined to check the downward movement
in prices. It was also believed that we are
now well started on the right road as to the
money market and that after the LIST OF
April monetary conditions will gradually
but steadily improve. particularly II there Is
a falling OF in business that Is now 50 gen
orally predicted. On any rl ,ession of I'M
portance from yesterdays sharp advance or
from tho further gains that were likely to
be recorded in the early trading today It
was thought that there would be at least
moderate amount Of buying Of the standard
issues for a long pull. fair proportion OF
the stocks bought yesterday for support
was likely to come upon the market and II
was also expected that when the market

stocks, for which there has been practically
no market for several weeks. would be Of
fered for sale in order to clear up accounts

some complication in the railroad situation
1t Is now believed that 1t will gradually i'm
prove for q time and then enter upon Pc
riod Of at least comparative dufiness

Western railroad officials freely admit
that the labor situation In Chicago at the
moment has a serious aspect, but so far
they are not apprehensive of its resulting
in a strike. Several of them who are will
ing to express an opinion apparently are
confident that the present differences will
be amlcably adjusted.
1t Is generally acknowledged that the
most important problem affecting the gen
eral financial situation which has yet to be
solved Is that of the attitude and policy OF
both the federal and state governments re-
garding the matter of supervision OF the
railroads. 1t is intimated by interests who
are in close touch with Washington that
the plan for the appointment of an official
who should represent all the railroads In
their dealings with the interstate commerce
commission. which was suggested several
years ago by Paul Morton and more recent
ly by B. F. Yoakum, is the idea most In
favor thus far with President Roosevelt
and the interstate commerce commission.
According to limitations made this morn
ing this is the plan most likely to be
adopted, unless die leading railroad Off
Gals and the President change their Ideas
