To Build a Railroad.

Nez Perez county's lumber industry is to receive
a boost through the efforts of the largest forest
land holder in the country. The Pierce City Miner
tells about it:
Frederick Weyerheauser and his associates
to build railroad into the Clearwater timber district
In addition to this they to construct two of the
largest mills in the country the Clearwater river
This is the conclusion reached by the party of
prominent representatives of the company who
turned last night from extended trip of invesga

the Weyerhaeusers In the party were c. A. Weyer-

terminus of the road the north fork of the Clear

With this line finished it is expected to build a

note account of his trip and in speaking of the

In speaking of a visit to the B. Shontz prime Or

while here Mr. White had the following to say:

there he has known season to fail to produce

result of good care Mr. Schontz values his orchard

Pouring Water into che Snake.

The volume of the Snake river the great irrigating
engineering project that connects it with an ex-
tensve natural storage reservoir in the extreme
northern portion of Fremont county The following
from the Idaho Falls Register gives some interest
ing facts:
On Sunday morning the headgates of the Henry's
Lake reservoir were opened and two thousand sec
ond feet of water turned into Snake river. This
water is for the benefit of the Twin Falls country
and cannot be taken out above there Stations have
been located at various points and the river guaged
and all water masters have been instructed to ar
range their headgates that no greater amount of
water would pass through them than has been pass
ing through under the present stage of the river.
This two thousand second feet means about one
hundred thousand miners inches and will make
difference of about foot in the river at this
point. 1t is expected it will reach here sometime
tonight or tomorrow morning it requiring about six
days for it to reach the Twin Falls country
Snake river undoubtedly one of the most peculiar
water would be SO low that it would be nearly dry
at the mouth of the Backfoot. 1t has usually been
the case at this of the year, but it was found
that 1t was so deep it impossible to locate a
station there. There undoubtedly many subter-
channels through the entire section of cou-
try and 1t is believed that in many places there are
sinks between Idaho Falls and Blackfoot where the
water goes down and comes out into the river again
between Blackfoot and American Falls The writer
remembers that two years ago there was plenty of
water at this point, while just below Blaclfoot
person could cross without wettng their feet and at
the same time we crossed ferry fifty miles
below there it at least four hundred feet wide
and two feet deep and streams of any consequence

Enough to Nominate.

The Pocateo Tribune, which is keeping record
republican county conventions in Idaho, feels
sured that the nomination of Chairman Brady to
the gubernatorial place is already assured This
is its record:
Ten counties in the state have so far held con-
ventonS and elected del gates to the republican state
nominating convention to be held at Boise Sept
ember 1. In these ten counties 189 delegates have
been chosen All of them with the single exception
of Ada county, have instructed for James H. Brady
for governor so that the Focatello candidate is
assured the nomination with total of 165 delegates
already instructed in his favor out of total vote
in the convention of 3O3. Thirteen counties have
yet to hold conventions to name delegates to the
Boise convention. These 10 counties represent ia
votes. There is absolute certainty that out of
these ia votes Mr. Brady will receive not less than
AZ, and probably twice that number Forty-seven
assured.
This MEANS therefore, that to all ntents and pur-
poses Mr. Brady is already the nominee of the repub
lcan party for governor. This year nomination will
the same as election.
The counties which have already instructed for
Mr.. Brady are as follows:
