CAMAS LINE
HAS GOOD YEAR
First Annual Report Shows
Joint Operation of Road
Has Been q Success.

The first anniversary of the Joint
operation of the Camas Prairie Rail-
road company, occurred last Satur-
day, and the result of the years work
wnder the direction of the Hill
Hartman systems is claimed by the
managers to have been eminently
satisfactory as to the relationship of
SHE companies and also in business
way. The Lewiston Tribune in com
mentmg on the years work says:
The affairs of the company have
been directed by Superintendent F. N
Finch and the fairness of his admin
istration has fully demonstrated the
feasibility of the joint operation plan.
The Hartman system has been ad-
mitted into the rich Nez Perce and
Camas Prairie sections and the North
ern Pacific has enjoyed the advan-
tages of the river line to Lewiston
Junction (Riparia), where connection
with the North Bank to Portland or
the Northern Pacific to Seattle and
Tacoma is affected. The terms of the
agreement provided that each interest
should have equal right to secure
business from Lewiston Junction to
Grangeville and that such business
should be handled by the Camas Prai
rie company on the basis of tonnage
charge per mile. 1t lis perhaps this
prior arrangement that has made
possible the successful operation of
the joint road by the holding COM
pany, but the people along the line
have enjoyed the unusual advantages
of being able to ship over either the
Hartman or Hill systems from the
same warehouse without the expense
of switching charges prevailing where
freight Is transferred from the line
of origin to a foreign road.
In accordance with the terms of
joint agreement, President ]. P.
O'Brien has been retired to the posi-
tion of vice president for the ensuing
year and has been succeeded as presi-
ident by H. c. Mutt Of the Northern
Pacific. This action was taken at
a meeting held in Portland on Nov
vember 20, and the presidency of the
joint company will alternate between
the two interests annually.
The company begins the second
year of its existence with strong or
ganization In every department Su-
perinteRdent Finch has been FORUM
ate In gathering around himself men
OF special equipment for their par
ticular duties, as well as men who
have entered heartily into the work
of making the joint operation com
plete success.

MANAGEMENT

The surveyors on the Long Valley
extension of the P. & |. N. railroad
have knocked off for this season and
pulled into winter quarters. But the
construction work on the extension of
road from Evergreen to new Mea-
dows will continue until the work is
completed, according to the statemen
of H. c. Boyden, the Boston expert
who has been inspecting the line,
to the Meadows Eagle. Col. Heigho
the president of the road and the
moving spirit in all of the progress
i've work on the line, has had every
obstruction imaginable to overcome in
the construction of this last extens-
ion, from bad weather and shortage
Of hands and teams to arrest and
prosecution by his enemies for man
slaughter. The Colonel, it would seem
is pretty energetic about anything he
goes at, and one of his enimies in
Weiser circulated slanderous reports
about him and he went after him in
the old-fashioned way; a woman who
witnessed the fracas, died few hours
afterwards from excitement or heart
trouble and it was attempted to hold
the Colonel responsible for her death.
However he was acquitted by a jury
last week, and will, now be free to
prosecute his work of empire building
This line of railroad means every
thing to the people in the vicinity of
the Meadows, Long Valley and all of
of North Washington county and they
appreciate the great work Col. Hell
gho and his road are doing for them
There Is to be a New Meadows,
with one of the finest depots and
hotels in the state, a few miles from
the old town, the streets of which
are now being macadamized and othe
citified work done by the railroad
company.
In speaking of the great develope-
ment work of the P. & /. N. and the
vast benefits to the country which
1t traverses, the Weiser Signal says:
Without a grant of any kind, with
out contribution of a dollar from
those most benefited by the road,
its extension into the Meadows val
ley has increased the value of every
acre by at least $40. 1t has increas-
ed values in Long Valley by as much
more by the announcement of Its pur.
pose to extend into that agricultural
garden next year. 1t has paid out in
wages to contractors hundreds of tho
sands of dollars and has enriched the
county by bringing remote districts
within easy distance of markets for
produce. stock. timber and wool.
Through the influence of it's presi-
dent and general manager the entire
upper country is growing beyond
the dream of the most imaginative
mind. The splendid Hotel Pomona at
Council now nearing completion, the
projected bank building at Council
the finest railway station in Idaho
and until the Hotel Washington is
completed, the finest and largest in
the country at Meadows are the re.
suit of his efforts and energy. Col.
Heigho has done and Is doing a
herculean work not only in the office
he fills for the company but in built
ing up this richest section of the
northwest

men got things righted up to such
an extent that the passenger backed
into Grangeville. The start for L ew.
iston was once more made, and 1t
is understood with better success.
This mishap cut us out of mail for
two days.
There is a short stretch of coun.
try between here and Fem that has
given the railroad people great an
noyance ever since the construction
of the line. 1t is of an extremely
boggy character, and when the ex-
cessive fall and winter rains set In
there seems to be no bottom to be
found. The railroad men say train
load after train load of gravel has
been hauled in only to be swallowed
up in the cavernous nav of mother
earth when the rains come on. Just
what will be done to remedy the
evil is not yet known, but it is to
be presumed that the gravel train
which has been at work for some
time now hauling in ballast from the
Snake river will continue until some
other plan of operation is devised.

NOW READY TO RE PARKED.

Sexton Richards reports that the
last body was removed last Satur-
day from the old cemetery in the
east part of town to Prairieview, the
new cemetery, one mile further
north. Arrangements have been
made to at once convert the grounds
thus vacated, into city park, which
has been contemplated all along, and
the work of breaking up the ground
will be commenced the first of next
week. This will materially change
conditions in that portion of the
city, increasing the valuation of
property there and making it a most
desirable residence portion.

SOME GET LEFT

AS the days of the open season

nimrods arose in temperature, and the
last week preceding the first day of
December, witnessed great stampede
to the surrounding hills and mount
aims, in quest of venison on foot,
and whatsoever else accepted as
game might lawfully drop into the
ample game bag of the huntsman.

sometimes, will be accepted even
by the unlucky hunter, but that the
good dame always does so, Is posit-
lively denied by a number of the
local sportsmen who have in the

of the Corliss ranch on Johns creek.

The list includes many of the most
famous debaters that the University
has ever produced. Overman Is rem
embered for his brilliant work In the
first debate with w. S. C. The State
college sent a special train with a

were confident of success. 1t was

before him. Three Oregon judges gave
a unanimous decision for Idaho. Mont
andan led Idaho to victory on the
platform of the University of Mont
ana. 1t was a most interesting con-
test.
Mrs. Ridenbaugh was the first per-
son to offer a prize for debate i'm the
University. She did this entirely un-
soliticed. She has always been inter-

the pain of defeat is ours she shares
our sorrow. University Argonaut.
