The Tribune got little mixed
on it's information last week rel
ative to the Gilmore & Pittsburg
survey being made from Arm
stead to Dillon. Instead of the
tunnel being 60 feet long, the
survey shows that a tunnel 6OO
feet long will be required at a
point near the mouth of CLARK s
canyon.
The overhead crossing of the
Oregon Short Line tracks will be
made right at Beaverhead Rock,
the trestle coming right along
near the face of the rock and
roadbed striking the hillside
only hundred yards or more
this side of the rock.
While the proposed road will
pass very close to Daly's Spur,
no tunnel at that point will be
required, but will doubtless take
up the space now taken by the
county road and will require a
new county road.
The surveyors are now work
ing the valley toward Dillon.
Various reports were abroad last
week relative to the surveyors
receiving orders from Pittsbure
to quit work. There may have
been some truth in the report,
but responsible party informs
the Tribune yesterday that he

Water Project.

The town of Challis, Custer
county, will be greatly benefited
through the installation of new
irrigation system to reclaim 5000
acres of land completely sur
rounding io in the valley tribu-
tary. The first indications that
actual construction work is to
start in the building of a large
reservoir with sufficient capacity
to contain water to irrigate al
most twice that amount of land,
was given to Boise today when
Carl A. Davis, attOrney-in- fact
for the settlers, announced that
it will in all probability be done
by the Slick Bros. Construction
company of this city. Negotia-
tions have been opened for Slick
Bros. to handle the contract and
after an examination is cOmplet-
ed by both the company's and
settlers representatives when
the feasibility of the site is pas
sed upon, the formal letting of
the contract will take place.
The project is known as the
Round Valley and the supply of
water for the reservoir is secur-
} ed from Challis creek. 1t is be-
lieved that virtually 5000 acres
, can be irrigated through the in
stallatiOn of the big reservoir. /,
Il never saw better site for
a reservoir for it is like a bottle
that only needs the cork insert

cribe it after he looked it over.

one inch instead of of an incl

Chicken a la Marengo.

Cut up a chicken as for fricasse.
Put a gill of olive oil in a saucepan.
Let it become very hot. Then put the
pieces of chicken in it, being careful
that they do not overlap. Fry in the
same pan with the chicken a Glove of
garlic and two small shallots or a
tiny onion, a bay leaf, a sprig of
thyme and a bunch of parsley. When
the chicken is we'll fried remove 1t
carefully to a hot platter. Stir a
tablespoonful of -four into the oil
that remains in the pan. Then add a
pint Of broth and let the sauce boil for
five minutes. Add more seasonings,
if necessary, and strain the sauce over
the chicken. A few mushrooms,
when o%btainable, should be cooked in
the sauce and served around the
chicken as a garnish.-New York

Samuel Klous, who says he is a

out a car, wrote a check for S1475 on
the Chase National Bank and asked
to have the running of the car dem

without customer or coat. He said
