could speak until the visit had been

the change may be of Importance to
both the portage road and the canal

Governor Chamberlain could ex-
press no opinion as to the cost of the

of course it wouldn't take half of

the proposed Improvement could be
made at no greater expense than s2,-

Both the governor and the state

Elk Are Starving.

Forest Ranger Silas Yarnell has
returned from a trip over the Wind
River division of the Yellowstone for
est reserve and reported that he dis
covered a bunch of 90 elk which are
showed in on Jim creek, says a Pine
dale, Wyo., correspondent. The snow
is so deep they cannot get out and
are slowly starving to death. They
have beaten down path 100 yards
across and all around this the snow
rises up many feet like Notifications.
Yarnell broke a path through into the
enclosure, but the elk refused to leave.
Yarnell will secure the aid of other
rangers and either force the elk out
or take feed in to them. Much trou-
bic is expected as the trip has to be
made on snow shoes and it is possible
all of the bunch will perish.

Miles s. Johnson of Lewiston, at
torney for the Lewiston & South
eastern Electric railway, who is in
Poise, said to reporter of the
statesman, that it is published in
Bradstreet's Review that the bonds
for building the road have been sold
in New York. He was unable to say
more than that, quoting Rradstreet's
as authority. but if the sale is a fact
there is every reason to believe that
the road will be built as soon as pos
sible-doubtless the coming season.
The rood\was originally projected
by Colonel Judson Spofford Of this
city and Walter Hovey Hill, civil
engineer of Grangeville, formerly in
charge of the Big Buffalo mine that
was the nucleus of buffalo Hump.
Quite SUM, amounting to several
thousand dollars, was subscribed by
the people along the line, for imme-
date use in running the preliminary
survey. Later, systematic cam
paign for stock subscription resulted
ir approximately half a million dol
lars worth CT stock being taken by
the people along the line from Lew
iston to Grangevile. These stock
subscriptions were made due and
PAYABLE in June of this year. If the
road should be running by that time.
It Is not probable that the road can
be constructed to fulfill these con-
ditions, but most of the subscribers
would be tickled to death to extend
the time another year if only the
road would ocme.
Several miles, of grading have been
done, some out of Lewiston and more
from Nez Perce. The latter town
will not be on the main line, but a
spur will he run out there, from
