.5O-BU. WHEAT
IN lilo COUNTRY
Special to Evening Teller.

Special to Evening Teller.
ILO, Idaho, Aug. 16.-The farmers
have just started in to harvest what
is conceded to be the best crop ever
grown in the country. 1t is estimated
that the wheat will average from 40 to
so bushels to the acre and that the
barley will run from so to rs bushels.
There are a few fields of barley where
the estimate is placed as high as 90
bushels.
The first threshers began this week
and the actual measurement from the
machines corroborates the estimates
that have previously been made. There
is a great need for harvest hands and
for additional harvest machinery, but
every effort will be made to get the
work done and crews wiK probably
know neither nights nor Sundays until
the harvest is saved.
The buildings If the town Of 1lo are
still en- route to the railroad, where
already some of the firms have opened
up stocks Of goods. 1t is probable that
hv the list Of September the complete
transfer will be made.

Special to Evening Teller.

Speclal to Evening Teller.
COTTONWOOD, Idaho, Aug. 1l-
The demand for men in the har vest
fields and the high wages paid by
farmers for such work has depleted
the camps Of the railroad contractors
until at this time not more than lOe
men are engaged In the work between
Cottonwood and Grangeville.
The railroad contractors are still
shipping men into the country, but
only the foreign element can Ae In
duced to stay with the camps. The
grade work, however, is we'll advanced
and the greater part Of the road will
be ready for the track laying by early
winter. A number Of subcontractors
have completed their work and moved
their outfits into Montana.
The harvest is on in all parts of
the Camas prairie, but no threshing
has been reported in this section. II
Is expected number Of machines win
be working in the vicinity Of Cotton
wood within the next ten days ana
farmers are ordering sacks and making
other preparations looking toward f.ar-
vesting the largest crop ever produced
on the prairie.

AIRING FOR
CONSTRUCTION
Contractors Hampered By
Lack Of Men on Bridge
and Track Work

The pile driver for the o, r. & N
bridge across the Clearwater river is
now engaged in driving the piling that
will be used to support the cofferdam
and the work of installing this feature
of the construction will be commenced
within a short time.
The elevated dump for the grav@
that will be used in the concrete work
Is being erected and will be ready for
use by the time the necessary machin-
cry is installed.
All features of the bridge work are
being carried on in a most satisfactory
manner and 1t Is expected the excava-
tions for the pier will be commenced
within two weeks.
The work has been inspected today
by Engineer Perkins. who reached the
city last night from the construction
camps on the lower river. Mr. Perkins
reports the track laid to a point about
25 miles below Lewiston and states
the track could be laid to North Lew
iston within 80 days providing a srffl-
cient force Of men could De secured.
The scarcity Of labor. however has
greatly embarrassed the work and at
the present time the laying of track
is being carried on by hand on account
of the inability of the contractors to
secure a sufficient force to man the
track laying machine.
The company is now shipping from
Portland an average of a carload of
men each evening, but the camps are
soon deserted and it is My by the reg
ular shipments that 1t is possible to
continue rhe work during the season
when farmers are in need of so many
laborers and are offering the top wages
for harvest hands. II
1t is expected, however, that the
situation will be improved within the
next two weeks. when harvest will be
nearly completed in the districts trib-
utary to the lower river and work on
the road will then be rushed.

NORTH COAST
SURVEY PARTIES
Connecting Lines Pushing
Toward Cities ON
Puget Sound

TACOMA, Aug. 15.-Last week sew
eral parties of engineers left road, 60
ing out to Ashford, in the Succotash
valley in the Lewis county bottoms.
When questioned, the men claimed not
to know their destination or what they
intended to do, declaring they would
receive orders in the field.
News received here today from the
Nisqually river valley is to the effect
that the party of 20 of the surveyors
are camped at Bear Prairie, between
two and three miles from Longmire
Springs, and have begun running a
line from that point towards Cowlitz
Pass. southeast of the springs. 1t is
believed by officials of the Tacoma
Eastern road that the men are in the
employ of the North Coast railroad
The camp has a pack train operating
between Bear Prairie and Ashford,
and, as It surveys, cuts a pony trail
and moves camp along through the
foothills.
The significant fact in connection
with this work is that a large survey
ing party during the latter part of last
spring began at Bear Prairie and ran a
line down the south bank of the Mis-
qually river to a point near Indian
Henry's ranch, southwest of Eatonville
and thence across the rive&, running
northward towards the sound. The
line now being surveyed from Bear
Prairie southeastward makes the con-
meeting link between the east end Of
this survey of last spring and Cowlitz
Pass.
Another party Of surveyors, believed
by railroad men here to have been
sent out by the North Coast, is camp
ed on the edge of the Big Bottom re-
gion in Lewis county.

BUSINESS MEN
OPPOSE FENCE
General Sentiment That
Carnival Grounds Should
Not Be Enclosed

Business interests will oppose any
attempt on the part of a carnival
company to fence the streets during
the coming lewiston Charleston fair as
was done last year." is the remark
made by a business man this morn
ing when discussing the question that
Is now before the fair directors rela-
tive to enclosing the carnival grounds
or leaving them open.
The matter has been generally dis
cussed by business men during the
past week or since the quc stion was
before the board Of directors at the
meeting held last Sunday and a de-
cision has been reached by which
business men will demand to know
what the fair management will do be-
fore making a donation and the petit
tion asking for the use Of the streets
will be opposed before the council un-
less the management OF the fair as
sociation will give the assurance that
the grounds will not be fenced
The position taken by the business
men is to the effect that the fair as
sociation asks for doneitions and other
concessions upon the representation
that the fair visitors bring BUSINESS
to the city.
The business men claim that the Wis
itors are taken to Charleston early in
the day and as soon as they return to
the city the carnival grounds are
opened and # an admission is charged
,Aa people are locked from the bust
ness part of the city until late In the
night.
The business men also state the i'm
preston received by visitors who come
to spend few days at the fair is of
wrong character and that last year the
city was severely criticised by busi-
ness men, in all of the small towns of
Nez Perce and Idaho counties.
ASK a Lewiston travelling man who
was compelled to go onto the prairie
after the fair last year and he will
tell you that the Lewiston people were
termed grafters and Just on account of
the fence about the carnival grounds
said prominent business men today.
"rhe people enjoy coming to the Lew
iston fair, but consider the charging
OF an admission to the carnival
grounds a holdup."
