LIVELY TRIP DOWN
TURBULENT SNAKE
ENGINEERS FINISH LONG JOUR-
NEY FROM SALMON CITY TO
LEWISTON.

I The Lewiston Tribune gives the fol-
lowing account of an extremely hazard
Gus trip just made down the Salmon
and Snake river by the representatives
of an eastern railroad, which contem-
plates the building of a line into the
Salmon district
1.-TWO engineers in the employ of
the Gilmore & Pittsburg railroad COM
pany, T. H. Bacon and C. A. McCIung.
accompanied by two boatmen. Captain
Harry Gulick and d. Sandlando, arrived
in Lewiston Wednesday from Salmon
City, having made the trip here down
the Salmon and the Snake rivers in
boat. The trip was made without acct
dent although Engineer Bacon said
that he and Engineer McClung at
points preferred to leave the boat and
walk around bad stretches of water.
The pilot, Harry Gulick, has made
several trips down the river from
Salmon City and is a skillful boatsman.
Yes l was sent out to make the
journey by the railroad company, but
further than this do not care to make
any statement as to that feature
any state ment as to that feature of
the matter" said Engineer Bacon.
Been In Field a Year.
Mr.. Bacon has been in charge of he
work of surveying the line for the COM
, rany and has been in the field about a
year. The line of the company as To-
Gated, starts at Armsted, a town on the
Short Line, eighty miles south of
Butte, and exends to the Gilmore dis
trict and Salmon City, the total dis
lance of the road being about one hun
dred miles. The Gilmore mines are a
silver-lead proposition.
Reports from Salmon City and from
Montana points relative to the work
of the company have been to the effect
that the company is an adjunct
of the Northwestern; that the engin-
eering work done in the matter of Sc
curing grades indicated main line
construction and that the best pass in
the Bitter Root range had been adopted
These matters Engineer Bacon declined
to discuss
Twenty Days On Trip.
Engineer Bacon said they had spent
twenty days on the trip and had ex-
pected when they started to be out
about 80 days. He said that along the
Salmon river there was much good
timber and that the country was an
interesting one from many stand
points. He said that he would
probably spend two or three days here
and yesterday afternoon he was en-
gagged in securing statistics relative to
the resources of tnis section.
The boat used in making the trip has
a length Of % feet and is six feet
wide 1t was built by Captain Gulick
and will be sold here.
The Pittsburg Gilmore railroad
company entered the field in the Sal
mon City country shortly after Engi-
neer Pope made his reconnaissance Of
the Salmon river route and as Pope is
understood to have been in the employ
of the Northwestern, the general view
is that Engineer BacOn's company is
plans fo~ reaching the coast.
