The following story relative to rail

Lewiston Tribune OF last Saturday:
Information has come rom ths
prairie district that the placing IN the
field Of the crew OF surveyors IN the
employ OF the Nezperce & Idaho rail
road means not only the building o.
the branch hom Vollmer through nc
to Forest the present season, but that
also line viii be definitely located
nom Forest over Craig Mountain and
through the Waha and Tammany sec
ton to Lewiston, the Forest-LeWiston
line to be finished during the coming
year.
The survey for the VollmerFcrest
line was made last year, statement be-
ing made at that time that the route
secured would enable the construction
to be done at less cost per mile than
that met in building the line from
Vollmer to Nezperce. It is believed
therefore that the present work Of the
surveyors over that section Of the line
will be confined to setting stakes for
construction, and determining exactly
the land desired for the right-of-Way-
Statement has been made that the
terminus Of the branch viii not be 10

Sir,--I wonder II many women think

are not) good enough to vote. II So
that is why they want to do It. The
truth Is we are too good to vote. We
would not do the questionable things
that men who are in politics think 1T
is necessary to do. We would not 20
ahead and vote as our fathers, brothers
or husbands said without thinking II
out ourselves. We would have TO read
and study the situation. All this would
take time. and it seems to me orr
time is fully taken up. Certainly we
have n right to vote. We also have
q. right to smoke a cigar and get drunk
We, the women OF Virginia, hold our
selves above such things.
II all the good, learned. Christian
mon In this Commonwealth can't reg

them stay unregulatcd. We haven't
time to do 1t; we cannot do everything.
Let the men do their part. None Of US
Will live long enough to do noarly all
we have q right to do.
I don't suppose any of the suffra :
Eists can be married, or if they arc,
they have no babies. For what woman
would leave a nice baby to vote. And
imagine woman with a family o!
nine or ten to look after having time
