eighty-three miles OF steam lines and
$50 miles Of electric roads are actual
north and central Idaho, western
Montana and southeastern British
Columbia embraced in the Inland
Empire, and it is estimated by COM
petent engineers that more than 1000
miles of lines are under construction
or projected to be completed before
the close OF 1910.
There are indications that the
Lewiston country in east central
Idaho, south of Spokane, is to get the
long-looked for transcontinental liae
by way OF Lolo pass, extending from
connection with the Oregon Rail-
road & Navigation company's line at
Lappwai Junction, Idaho, by way OF
Missoula, Deer Lodge and Silver Bow
to Butte. This road, incorporated as
the Montana, Idaho & Pacific, is be-
lieved to be backed by the Hartman
interests. The Northern Pacific is
also active in the Lewiston district
and there is keen rivalry between the
Hill AMI Hartman engineers now In
the field for desirable territory.
Should the Chicago & Northwest
ern enter this territory it will be by
way of Lolo pass, which is the most
feasible route known across the Bit
ter Root mountains. Since the North
western has close traffic relations
with the Union Pacific it is believed
that the Hartman interests would
favor an extension of the former by
way of the northern route, thus cut
ting into the Hill territory, rather
than through southern Idaho, which
| is conceded to be the Union Pacific S
exclusive preserve.
There are also battles in central
Washington and western Montana,
where engineering corps in the en-
ploy of the Harrimans and the Hills
are working with might and main
to checkmate each other for favored
territory, which, with the settlement
and development of the country, viii
afford enormous tonnage. The strug
gle for supremacy may we'll be term

LAND BUSINESS Is
GOOD

From the number of people that
take the boat Sundays and Mondays
from Wenatchee to the Methow, it
would seem that business Is far
from poor with the Colbert-Eliiott
combination. A few days ago there
appeared in this paper an advertise
ment, "Who said business is poor"
over the name of Colbert-Elliott COM
pany. The advertisement went on
to say that the merchants and bust
ness men were making money and
spending it in Methow handsome
Fcan hardly doubt this statement
when it is known that between one
fourth and one-third of their lands
offered for sale and under water has
already been disposed of.
Those who have not seen the Met
how valley can hardly appreciate this
wondrous valley, rich in its natural
resources. All who have seen it pro-
nounce it to be coming country
and very often compare it with
| Wenatchee.
While it resembles this valley only
| in general appearance it is safe to
say its productiveness is equal to
most any soil in the state.
Taking all into consideration one
Iran hardly blame the man who in
vests in this much advertised and
talked of valley. He gets good soil
little or no sand, fine climate. lots
of water and scenery to his hearts
content.
Aside from the fact that Colbert &
lElliott offer a man what would seem
to be a good investment, they take
him on a trip of instruction and
pleasure, leaving Wenatchee every
Wednesday and Sunday morning.
