CASTROS RULE IS OVER
WOULD SERVE
GREAT COUNTRY
RAILROAD INTO THE SALMON
RIVER VALLEY WOULD DE-
VELOP ONE OF GREATEST PRO
DUCING SECTIONS IN IDAHO.

"A railroad down the Snake river,
would develop ten times the traffic
that the line up the Clearwater de-
velops," is the startling statement
made by Seth Jones. well-krown
and prominent s,ockman of the up
per river section, in discussing the
question raised by the recent an
nouncement that the p. & l. N. and
Northern Pacific would connect wi h
line running from Council to
Grangeville.
Such line could easily find
grades from Salmon river onto Cam
as prairie, and would run through
good territory en- route. They conld
reach the prairie either by Rock
creek or Chapman creek on Easy
grades. People have wrong I'M
preston of the value of traflc over
such line. The country is consid-
cred rough and broken. and for the
greater part barren, but it is already
rich in freight production and rich
er in possibilities.
There are several stockmen in
that country that ship to market
from 500 to 700 head Of fat cattle
each year. The shipment of sheep
and will is increasing yearly. There
is a great possibility for the devel-
opment Of irrigated lands on the bars
and benches along the river. We
purchase annually from one alfalfa
ranch on Pittsburg bar from 500 t.
700 tons Of hay. for which we pa!
IS per ton. There are only 13t
acres in cultivation. and the owner
gets three crops each season and av
erages Ave tons to the acre. There
are old peach orchards on the upper
river that to my knowledge have
not lost on crop in 20 years. Th'
opportunity to develop fruit and al
falfa ranches will be a feature whel
the railroad comes to open tina
country.
"The mineral possibilities OF th'
country are hardly touched. bu
there are mines now opened tina
have so trainloads Of ore in sigh
! and others that would be great pro
ducers II Transportation were fur
nished All this Is on the 1dah'
side. while on the Oregon side ther
is rich sheep and cattle countr,
for 40 miles up and down the river
The possibilities Of the country ar
great. and a railroad would hastel
} all forms Of industry not now profit
able because OF the transportation
problem.

PLANS FOR
JOINT SERVICE
0. R. & N. WILL INSIST THAT THE
CONDITION OF THE ROAD BE-
TWEEN HERE AND GRANGE
VILE rs UP TO STANDARD,

Railroad men who have been anx-
of the joint operation plans for the
Riparia-Grangeviile line now be-
lieye the inaugura ion of the joint
service is only delayed because Of
the unfinished condition of the road
bed between Reubens an Grangeville.
1t is stated the roadbed on the
Lewiston Riparia line is In excellent
condition, while much of the line be-
tween Reubens and Grangeville Is
now held in place by the frozen
ground, and that large sums OF mon
ey will be necessarily expended next
spring in reballasting a large Sec
tion of the road. 1t will be remem-
bered that last winter the Northern
Pacific operated the new road from
Culdesac to Vollmer when much OF
the line on the mountain was sub
merged in mud and water. and that
the ballasting of this section Of the
road was not completed this fall un-
til after the wet weather set In. The
result of the delay in ballasting the
mountain road was a partial renew
al of the conditions existing last
year, and 1t is stated the @. r. q N.
company declines to participate In
the consolidation Of the two roads
until the ac-Grangeville road
bed Is placed in the same excellent
condition az the roadbed between
Lewiston and Riparia.
+ 1t Is also stated the O. r. 4 N
company will not lose by the delay
in the joint operation plans. as ev-
cry item Of business transacted or
either the Lewiston -Riparia or Lew
iston- -Grangeville line is kept sepa-
rated from the other branches. and
whenever the joint operation be.
comes effective the money derived
from this individual operation Of thu
roads will become the revenue Of th'
/ joint company. With this condition

only loss to the 0. r. & N. company

Grafton is a large expense account tt
be met next spring when the frost

The recent trip over the new roat
by J. p. O'Brien of the o. II. & N

the purpose of inspecting the condi
tion of the new line, and the deci

not yet been made public. II will
be remembered that the Northern

of inspection over the Lewiston

During one of the many battles over

wondering why ii was that they were
unsuccessful in carrying out their die

given the miners, when somebody who
understood things suggested that they

So they sent for Mr. Hennessy, and il
Dame Gossip has it correctly, they all
sat around a board meeting table and
frankly explained to this Western mar
that they meant to regulate all such
matters as miners wages and hours

man from Montana simply made tho

could live and what hours were best
for his general health and welfare and
that he could assure Messrs. H. H.
Rogers and others that the miners
would be paid the. extra wages they
demanded, and work the hours that
were most advisable. And 1t was So
