Special to Evening Teller.
KAMIAH, Idaho, June 24.-The
party of o. r. & N. surveyors are still
engaged on the work between Tram
way and Kamiah, but ii is expected
the connection win be made this week
and the camp De moved to the Middle
Fork, where the work will be carried
on during ths entire summer.
Parties who have watched the work
now being performed state it is of the
most permanent character, abe party
proceeding very slowly and going over
the same ground a number of times
until all of the details of a permanent
survey have been set and the stakes
in place.
1t is learned from Kamiah that the
services OF William Parry, the we'll
known packer, nave reen secured and
a pack train is already engaged in
carrying supplies to the Lochsa branch.
The rumor is current in the upper river
country that the survey now being
made is not only for a connection with
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul,
but also to provide a direct route to
the coast for the Harr man business
from Butte and simultaneously enter
one of the greatest tonnage porducing
territories Of the Northern Pacific.
The plan Is believed to be in accord
with the Hartman policy to shorten
the routes and reduce grades, and
while it is not expected construction
work will be commenced on the Mid
die Fork road within the next year, 1t
is believed such work will immedi-
ately follow the completion of the cut
off road from Huntington Lewiston
and perhaps before that time in the
event the labor situation is relieved.
The men engaged in the survey work
have been very communicative con-
Germ ng their work, although it has
been learned that struggle is now on
between the Hartman and Hill inter-
ests for stategic routes to the North
west, and while the Hartman people
are quietly planning the construction

City and follow the Salmon river to

tracks will follow the hillside and
reach Camas prairie plateau without

Snake river country by the road now
being constructed from Culdesac to
Grangeville.
1t is stated that while no plans have
been announced by the Hi interests
relative to this construction, the in
formation has been definitely learned
in the Hartman camp that such a
route is now being promoted under
the name of the Midland Pacific, but
is backed by the HUI people and win
have connection with the Great
Northern at Sioux Falls.

NEW ORLEANS, La, June 24.-Two
miles in the interior of big swamp
near this city the headless body of
Walter Lamana, an Italian child be-
tween seven and eight years of age,
who was kidnapped and held for $4,000
ransom two weeks ago, was found by
the police and vigilantes just before
daybreak yesterday. He had been
strongled to death, according to the
confession of several Italians held by
the police.
The boys neck is supposed to have
been broken when he was strangled,
causing the head to become separated
from the body, when decomposition
set in. The head was found a short
distance from the body.
Five Italians, two Of them women,
are under arrest, charged with being
accomplices to the murder and extra
details of police and deputies are
maintaining order in the excited Ital-
ian quarter. All day long, small
crowds have been dispersed promptly
by the police despite whose precautions
a report has gotten out summoning
mass meeting at Elk Place. Seventy
armed deputies have been placed on
guard at the Orleans parish prison,
the strongest in the state, where three
Of the prisoners are held, and some APP
prehension has been felt over the safe
ty of two other prisoners who were last
night taken to an adjoining parish.

least shaken the mental poise of this

cause of the vagaries the newly-rich

She is tall, graceful brown-haired,
brown-eyed and gentle-voiced. Just
before her departure she said:
Our plans are by no means certain,
but we shall probably go from Green

winter in California, where I am anx-

OF the possibility of entering New

a laugh:
