trees, from % to almost 100 feet

Snappy Game at Cottonwood.

One of the snappiest games of ball
witnessed for some time was the
one played Sunday last on the Cot
tonwood diamond between the team
of that city and Kamiah. It took
twelve innings to decide to whom
the honors belonged, and the losers
were entitled to as much praise az
the victors, the score being 7 to 6
in favor of Cottonwood. Mccoy
Hill, the Indian pitcher with the
kamiah aggregation, set the crowd
wild in the ninth inning when he
knocked a pretty one over left field
and out of the lot and crossed the
home plate. The game was filled
with spectacular plays and at no
time was it easy to pick the win
ners. A week ago last Sunday the
same teams played a ten.inning
game at Kamiah, resulting in
score of eight to nine in favor OF
kamiah. In the Kamiah team
there are five Indians who are AZ

to base stealing and running they

sents formidable front when an

vile is progressing rapidly and all
Indications point to it's early arrival
in this city. In fact one of the
chief engineers, in charge Of the
work. is credited with having made
the statement some weeks ago that
he intended to eat his Thanksgiv-
ing dinner in this city. Paymaster
Mckay, who has his headquarters
At Cottonw wood at the present time,
was in this city Sunday and in
conversation with the writer stated
that something like $50 men were
now at work on the grade between
here and Cottonwood and more are
to be added every day. Men in
lots OF twenty-five and more are
arriving almost daily at Sites from
the east and are being forwarded
on to the scene OF activity. Satur-
day night the tow 10 was full of
lsboring men from the camp just
northwest of town and things look

The great difficulty the company
has been experiencing with the cut
Just this side of Culdesac has final
" been overcome by moving the
tracks over several yards from the
place where it was originally in
tended to 60 through. It is said
the new cut places the track on
solid bedrock aud the danger of
slides and the earth working up
from the bottom h as ceased to be
the perplexing problem to the en-
gineers it was in the early stages of
construction. Something of the
difficulties encountered during the
early spring, when the "Culdesac
cut" was talked far and wide, may
be gained from the two illustra-
tions that we use in connection
with this article. The large three
column illustration shows the
steam shovel at work in the cut in
an effort to remove the earth faster
than it was showed up into the ex-
by the tremendous pres
sure from the monntainside. At
the time this photograph was
taken, along about the first of
April, the shovel was placed in the
center OF the cut where the original
survey was made and the earth
was forced up faster than the
shovel could rem0ve Il.
When the steam shUvei Was, hsffi1
way through the cnt the tr,able
began. The lessening of the resist
ance in the cut by the taking out
Df the earth soon caused the bottom
Of the cut to be 70 reed upward by
