RAILROAD SURVEYORS
IN RACE FOR ROUTE

According TO H. c. Murphy Of Dillon,
who is in the city FOR a few days visit
ing numerous railroad acquaintance in
the operating departments, Oregon
Short Line railroad surveyors and sur
veyors in the employ of the Gilmore &
pittsburg railroad are now racing for
the Salmon River Pass below Salmon,
Ida The latter party are said to be
about two days ahead of the former,
and passed through Salmon City sew
eral days ago. Mr.. Murphy is a rail-
road locomotive engineer, and he is now
taking a vacation while recuperatng
from an operation he recently under
went in a hospital in Butte.
1t is explained that the Salmon River
canyon is the only passage out of the
Salmon district toward the coast. and
but one roadbed can be constructed
through the canyon. Murphy says the
Gilmore * Pittsburg railroad has the
best chances Of securing the route for
the reason that that road has in its en-
plOy the only man in Lemhi county who
knows the Salmon rapids and dares to
navigate them at this particular season
of the year. This man is Harry Gulke.

NATIONAL BISCUIT CO.
MAY HAVE FACTORY HERE
Representative Has Been Looking
Over the Ground-Plans as
Stated by Good Authority

While 1t has not been officially an
nounced that the National Biscuit COM
pany is contemplating opening a factory
in Salt Lake. IL was stated on good au-
thority yesterday that a representative
OF the company had been here a few
days ago looking the ground over with
view to locating here.
The National Biscuit company has fac
tories in many of the large cities Of the
United States. and its products are
shipped to all parts of the world 1t is
understood that the company desires to
purchase some building located near the
railroad tracks in Salt Lake and have the
structure remOdeied to suit its convent
ence, so as to set on the ground as soon
as possible. If no suitable building can
be found, however, it is said the company
proposes to have some local firm erect a
structure to be leased, with an option TO
purchase.
The company would probably open in
Salt Lake on a small scale as compared
with its factories IN other cities, but with
the intention Of charging the plant later
and to make this city the home of one of
its main factories. The company has
factory at Denver. where over 200 per-
sons are employed.
