WATER GRADE FOR IADHO ROAD
An Easy Route Has Been Found by
Engineers for the Gilmore &
Pittsburg Line

Lewiston, Idaho, Jan. 4.-The sur
vey of the Gilmore & Pittsburg rail-
road from Salmon City to Whitebird
shows the distance to be 1914 miles,
and the estimated distance from
Whitebird to Lewiston is IS miles.
The maximum grade secured does
not exceed rs feet to the mile. FIRE.
'quent crossings of the river are made.
the bridges to be erected numbering
Is. Two of these bridges will be
located along that stretch of the riv-
ed known as Black canyon, one is
near Golf. The maximum curvature
of the line is about eight degrees.
Eighteen tunnels will be construc-
ted, the longest, 5000 feet, to be put
In at Red Butte, on the first section
of the line out of Salmon. In all de-
tails the work is so thorough that
with but slight revision the line can
be put in readiness for the contrac-
tors. While initial construction cost
might be classed as heavy, the road
bed will be practically the entire dis
lance in rock, assuring permanency
and minimum cost of maintenance.
According to these figures less than
800 miles of line will bring the road
from Salmon to Lewiston. All esti-
mates, prior to surveyors taking the
field. were that the line would be
much longer.

Governor Brady Makes Statement of
the Meeting of Governors

Boise Statesman
Governor Brady expects to leave
about January LIST for Washington tC
attend the meeting of governors In
response to a request from Golfers
for an expression on the subject OF
conservation the governor has sent
the following:
believe that the meeting of the
house of governors to be held in
Washington in January, 1910, will be
of much importance to the people OF
the nation and especially to the peo-
pie of the western slope who do not
have the opportunity of coming in
close contact with the administrative
departments of our country. The
people of our country have at last
awakened to the fact that our natural
resources must be conserved and pro-
tected if we expect to maintain our
proper position among the nations of
the world.
The greatest significance of this
meeting rests in the fact that every
state In the nation gladly responds to
the call which indicates an aweken-
ing of the people at this late hour to
the fact that many of our great ma
tural resources have been wasted and
monopolized in such a manner that
If the people and the men chosen to
represent them do not act with uni
ted and persistent effort to conserve
our resources that their opportunities
will be lost, and that this nation will
do as the nations of Europe have
done before us, drift into a country
OF masses against the classes.
I'VE of the west believe that these
natural resources should be conser-
we'd for the benefit of the states in
which the Creator has placed them.
We maintain that the eastern states
have developed all of their water pow
ers and coal mines and phosphate
beds which belonged to the, nation
and have permitted them to go into
the hands of private individuals and
corporations, and that they have de-
vastated their forests for private gain
and converted them into farms and
that it is unfair for them at this late
day to say that we must conserve our
resources and divide the revenue de-
rived from the same with the people
of the east who have recklessly parted
with theirs. We intend to and will
conserve our natural resources, but
1t is unfair to divide all the revenue
which should accrue to the state with
the people who have parted with
theirs and have secured the benefit
Of the same, and shall endeavor to
the best Of our ability to show the
members of the house of governors
that this position is fair and equit-
able and just. This could be done in
no other way except in just such a |
meeting as President Taft has called |
% meet in Washington in January.
