bunal participating in such a
campaign, rightly or wrongly,
made it easier to prevent Mr..
winning, but no such OBJ
lection and no objection of any
kind was urged against Babb.
Before he could be an active fac
tor, however, it was necessary
first to give Judge Ailshie every
opportunity, then Mr.. Beale was
given his chance. In Wednes-
day nights caucus Mr.. Beale was
eliminated and in the many secret
ballots taken Mr.. Babb gained
steadily until to the astonish-
ment Of the southern leaders Mr..
Babb had 19 votes to 10 that
were divided about equally be-
tween Eaines, Dewey and Hart.
1t was a caucus of anti-Brady re-
publican members. When called
it was for the purpose of agree
ing on a man to be unitedly
backed in the next days ballot
ing. This would have given Mr..
Babb SO votes next morning and
would easily have brought ad-
ditional support to have caused
his election that day. But when
Mr.. Babb in the caucus received
half the votes the southest urged
adjournment and prevented an
other ballot, contrary to the un-
derstanding Of the caucus call.
Mr.. Babb won the respect Of the
entire state by the dignifed cam

south interior with a main line
was made early in September
last year.
The object Of the line is to fur
nish a through route which will
escape the disadvantages Of the
coast haul and to combat the Hill
system, which has completed ar
rangements for a short north and
south line to San Francisco.
The surveys from Nampa to
Winnemucca lead through q wild
mountainous country, practically
uninhabited. 1t is reported that
this was the most expensive
piece of railroad engineering the
Hartman system has encounter
ed in the far west.
North of Nampa the read will
follow the Oregon Short Line to
Huntington, thence along a new
road to Lewiston into Spokane.
South of Winnemucca the main
line of the Southern Pacific will
be used to Razen, thence to
Owenyo in Inyo county, Cali
fornia, where connection is made
with the Mojave aqueduct line.
The view is held at Nampa
that the Idaho Northern will be
used in the first north and south
connection between Spokane and
Los Angeles, but Lewiston is
held out as the terminus of the
proposed Idaho Northern con-
struction. 1t appears the Nampa
view is that the Idaho Northern
construction and the connection
with Lewiston will be selected in
preference to the Snake river
road, which was surveyed a year
ago by Short Line engineers.

ern, now owned by the Oregon
Short Line and the standardizine

Dewey interests in extending the
line, lends prestige to Los An

south railroad is now under con
struction that will shorten th'
route from Spokane to San Fran

Gees Back On North
in Senatorial Contest

When the senatorial fight was
at its height and Judge Ailshie
and his supporters were trying
to unite the north for him, Latah
county stood out all alone and re-
fused to enter into an agreement
to support any candidate from
the north, in fact, Latah county
prevented nothern man from
being named according to the
political dope of the wise saws,
and someone suggested that
Judge Ailshie send a telegram to
Burton L. French and ask him
to advise the Latah county dele
cation to jump on the band
wagon for a northern man.
1t was two or three days before
Burton L. French answered the
message and in the meantime
Latah was spilling the political
beans by voting first for French
and then for unheard of politi-
clans. At last the answer came
back to one of the Ailshie man
ayers. from French. Here are
the gloomy words he wrote:
"Latah county delegation are
voting their sentiments and |
think they have sufficient judg-
ment to choose their own sera-
tor. Burton L. French"
At that time Latah was voting
for French. The outcome of the
whole business is that axes are
being ground, knives are being
sharpened and guns are being
taken out Of dusty corners with
the avowed intention of securing
the scalp of Burton l.. French,
congressman from Idaho. The
north seems to be the people who
are after his scalp. Free Press.

LEWIS COUNTY
WANTS TERRITORY
WOuIa Annex Part OF Idaho
County.
Looks Like Part Of Senatorial Deal
Made with South.

The following taken from a
dispatch from Boise, show where
the county division boom is lead
ing to. Already several new
counties have been created, and
all are said to be the results Of
deals made in the senatorial
fight just ended:
Lewis county, one Of the new
counties created at the last regu-
lar session Of the legislature, is
now after more territory. 1t
wishes to annex part of Idaho
county, a part having at least
three times as much territory as
there is is in the original Lewis
county. However, practically
nine-tenths of the territory that
it is proposed to annex to Lewis
is in forest reserves extending
all the way east to the Montana
line.
All the inhabitants in the por-
ton to be annexed if the bill be-
comes a law, live in the extreme
western corner. In this corner
are the towns of Woodland, Har-
rison, Caribel, Glenwood and
Kidder. 1t is claimed by the
anneXationists that these people
live within 20 miles Of Nezperce,
the county seat Of Lewis county,
while they live 40 miles from
Grangeville, the county seat Of
Idaho county. 1t is further said
that there is no good road to
Grangeville and that at this sea-
san of the year the road there is
blockaded with snow.
The proposed line between
Idaho and Lewis is drawn, it is
explained, to accommodate the
greatest number Of citizens on
the border. 1t strikes the Clear
water river at a point above
KunrO then follows the river.
the Selway and the 46th parallel
! to the Montana line.
5 Idaho county's delegation is
opposed to the surrender of any
territory to Lewis county. This
opposition, it is admitted, is not
based on the meEits af the case
r but on the fact. that in the last
: campaign the issue Of county di-
( vision was up in Idaho county
] and the men elected are pledged
against county division of any
; kind.
The plan of the annexation
bill is such that the proposition
is to be put directly up to thf
voters in the locality affected TO
their acceptance or rejection. L
is stated thot all but two Of th'
citizens of the district have
y signed q petition asking for th'
annexation.

Dig RAILROAD
CONSTRUCTION
North and South Line Built
This Year
Lewiston the Objective Point in the
North.

The Lewiston Tribune says:
Attorney J. B. West, who re-
turned few days ago from a
visit to Boise, stated that while
in the capital city he met Colonel
Heigho, president of the P. & |.
N. road, and that this we'll
known Idaho railroad man told
him that it was the definate plan
of his company to begin construc-
ton operations this year, north
ward from Meadows, the present
terminus of the line, to Lewiston.
Colonel Heigho said that either
himself or the chief engineer Of
the road would visit Lewiston in
the spring in connection with tie
company plans and that before
the summer was over dirt would
be flying all along the line
Mr.. West said that his talk
with Colonel Heigho had con-
vinced him that Lewiston was
soon to be the objective of ex-
tensive railroad construction ac-
tivities. "Heigho told me-"
said Mr.. West, that in his opin-
ion Lewiston was destined with
J in very brief period Of time 10
} be a greater railroad center than
Spokane-that through this gate
way would pour q larger volume
of traffic than is now routed
through Spokane. He suggested d
that in construction activities
the Pittsburg & Gilmore and
Milwaukee companies would be
represented. He did not volun-
teer any information as to the
Identification, if any, his line had
with the roads mentioned or with
any other roads, but | necessari-
ly, from his statements, formed
the impression that much engi-
neering work Of a definite char
acter has already been done.
With such an outlook facing
Lewiston, every citizen should
join in any move that will show
to the world that we have COL
fdence in our city and are will
ing to boost it along in every pos
sible way. This is, in my opinion
a period in our career when we
must not back up. If we all pull
together, Lewiston can be put
over during the present year.
It should be remembered ir
connection with the above, thai
the P. & l. N. has always beer
considered feeder for the Pitts
burg & Gilmore, and that its
e.. survey is joined to the P. & G.
on Salmon river.
That the Pittsburg & Gilmore
road will be built this year, is
