Special Rates for Ten DAYS

A round trip rate Of fare and a
third has been granted by all railroads
for visitors to Spokane during the
Interstate Fair, from September 10 to
70, although the Interstate Fair runs
but for the week September 20 to rs.
Last year the special rate only applied
to the week Of the Fair but President
Taft will be in Spokane, September
%. Efforts which at first seemed
likely of success were made to have
the President open the Interstate Fair;
and, these proving unavailing, Mana
gea Cosgrove, made the request of the
railroads that the special rate extend
to the time of the Presidents arrival
in Spokane, and was granted.

Surveyors at Elk City

A party Of four surveyors from the
Pittsburg Il Gilmore crews now
working along the Salmon river
above Dixie were in Elk City one
night last week on their way back to
Armsted, Montana. In conversation
with the Elk City Mining News rep
resentative the chief engineer said:
I'VE four men are a detachment
from the crew of railroad surveyors
now at work along the Salmon river
surveying a line from Salmon City to
tie onto survey made up the river
from Whitebird. We left Salmon
City on raft boats the latter part of
May. There are two crews, one crew
closely following the first, and the
work that is being done is more thor
ough than the ordinary preliminary
railroad survey. There are reports
that we will be ordered to swing out
of the canyon when the mouth of
Mallard creek is reached, follow that
stream to the divide and drop down
onto Red River, but l myself do not
believe we will receive any such Or
ders. | am quite sure the survey is
going to be continued on down the
Salmon river, possibly leaving it at
such point as would strike Grange
vile. The work is exceedingly diff
cult and dangerous, and the scenery
along the Salmon rivals that of the
Grand Canyon Of the Colorado
Asked who is employing him, the
engineer said the Pittsburg Il Gilmore
company, but this company he be-
lieves is backed by some larger COM
pany. When Macarthur Bros. were
awarded a contract on construction of
the line from Armsted to Salmon
City, they demanded to know the
name Of the company back Of the
Pittsburg Il Gilmore company, and,
being refused, they demanded that
$50, 900 be paid them before the work
started, and the money was paid.
The engineer believes the Chicago
Northwestern is back Of the project.
