Pittsburg and Gilmore Men on the
Snake River.
SURVEYORS ESTABLISH CAMP
Engaged in Perfecting Locating
Survey of the Line.

That the Pittsburg Il Gilmore
Railway company is to engage this
summer in perfecting its surveys for
Salmon City-Lewiston line and has no
intention of abandoning this project
which is now generally admitted to
be Jim Hill enterwrise-was dis
closed Monday when it was learned
that within few days Engineer Rob-
erts, locating engineer for the line.
will establish camp of surveyors on
the Snake river short distance be-
low the mouth of the Salmon river.
The supplies for the camp will be
delivered by the gasoline launch,
Flyer, which is being operated by
Glover Il Mcfarland, of Asotin.
Mr.. Roberts arrived few days ago
from the upper Snake river and
Immediately went to Spokane, where
he is taking the steps to organize the
surveying party. For some weeks the
company has had men on the Salmon
river perfecting some sections of the
survey below Whitebird, but so
quietly was this work done that pub
lie attention was not attracted to it.
1t was also not known that Engineer
Roberts was in the field until he ap-
peared at Asotin from the upper
river section. When the surveyors
completed the survey into Lewiston
last year, the crews were disbanded
and Engineer Roberts went to his
home at Chicago. Suggestion was
made at that time that the work was
to be resumed this spring, but until
recently nothing more was heard
about the matter. The fact that
surveying activities are to be re-
sumed at this end of the line, follow
ing the rumors and reports emanating
from Salmon City that a section of
the road is to be put under construc-
tion contract this spring, again brings
the Hill enterprise prominently be-
fore the public, and further tends to
center interest in the moves of the
big rail lines to appropriate the water
grades. Tribune.

Set Tres Cold.

Always on the lookout for the best
in tools and equipment, }. \. Oliver
received this week from the makers in
Kansas a Brook tire shrinker, a
machine for setting tires cold and
thus avoiding the destruction of the
felloes and the wood work of the
wheel which is bound to occur where
the tires are put on hot.
The machine will take any size tire
and shrink the same to such a degree
as is desired by the operator. 1t
weighs over half ton and is one OF
the best machines on the market Of
its kind.

them wonderful expansion in popu.
lation, in agriculture, and in busi-
ness, and they offer to any nation
with whom they have sympathetic
relations, and with whom it is profita-
BILE for them to deal, constantly in
creasing market and an ever-expand-
ing trade.
"The question which we now have
to answer is whether we propose to
maintain an artificial wall across the
country Of 300 miles in length and
Of indefinite height to prevent the
natural trade that would flow be-
tween two great nations of people Of
the same language, of similar charac-
ter, tradition, business habits, and
moral aspirations, when the removal
of that wall would furnish to each
country the economic advantage of its
corresponding enlargement Of pros
porous population and territory with
out the added responsibility of govern
ment and political control.
"Ihe theory that trade is not profta-
BILE to one party unless it is done at a
loss to the other party is at the bot
tom Of great deal of the economic
fallacies of the past and the present.
Trade is mutually beneficial. 1t is
profitable to both parties, for if it is not
it cannot and ought not continue.
As between Canada and the United
States, the trade and the mutual
benefit from the trade will increase. :"

School retired to the bleachers to give
the leaguers a chance. Rustemeyer
was on the slab for Cottonwood while
Moses did the twirling for Grange
vile.
The game developed into a pitchers
duel but the visiting team gave their
pitcher better support than the locals
did Moses.
Grangeville scored the first run in
the second inning when Brown was
given his base on balls and Upton
connected with the ball for two bases
Grangeville's first and only hit

and wild throws, Cottonwood scored
their first tally.

an error and scored on Parsons home
run. Nothing was done in the hit or
run line by either team after the
sixth inning.
Rustemeyer struck out nine men
while Moses sent eleven to the bench
on three strikes. Each side received
base on balls. The outielders on
both teams gave classy exhibition
of ball playing, especially Wolff, who
played center field for the local team
and Housh left fielder for the visitors.
The crowd was excellent notwith,

grandstand and bleachers were full
