GREAT STUNT in RAILROAD
CONSTRUCTION FOR IDAHO
Includes Gilmore -Pttsburg Down the Salmon but Leaves
out the "Pin" Extention and Missoula Cutoff
Down the Clearwater.

The Pendleton Live Wire gives
out a lenthy article on extensive
railroad construction in western
Idaho and eastern Oregon, which
it claims comes from authorita-
tive sources. 1t will be noted,
hCwever, that the writer fails to
include in his survey of conditions
the extentions of either the Dewey
line from Nampa north, or the
PIN" road from Meadows north
one of which must certainly be
Hill line. Nor does he mention
the cutoff from Missoula, Mon
tana, thruogh Lolo Pass to Koos-
kia and on down the Clearwater,
Snake and Columbia rivers to
Portland and the sea, which Pres
ident Leonard has publicly an
nounced would be built as soon
as funds could be procured,
which it has recently been stat
ed have been secured. The article
does incidentally refer to the ex-
'tention of the Gilmore & Pitts
burg from Salmon City down the
Salmon river to the Snake. 1t
says:
THAT the digging of the tun-
mel through the Blue Mountains
and the building of line from
Pendleton to Huntington and
Olds Ferry to connect at the lat
ter place with the proposed Snake
river branch and Bozeman-Boise
branch is part of the great rail-
road construction scheme Of Jas.
J. Hill, Northern Pacific magnate,
is the vitality important news
brought to this city by men
closely associated with the Hill
railroad and land interests.
1.-The plan as outlined places
Pendleton on the Hill main line
and makes this city one of the
strategic points in Hills fight
with the Hartman system for
supremacy on the Pacific coast.
1.-The maps and plans of the
engineers, it is said, show that
Hill is right now in the middle
of the greatest railroad building
campaign in the history of the
west and is constructing a net
work of lines that will drain
the northwest and carry every
thing from Dakotas, Montana
Idaho, southeastern Washington
eastern and central Oregon tc
San Francisco by natural and
easy grades.
"The Hill plans have been sci
forth in detail to a representative
of the Live Wire and cover ma
terial which is so extensive that
it will require several articles
for full exposition. Today's ar
ticle simply gives a. general sy
nopsis of the various lines thai
enter into the fabric as the in
formation is most closely related
to Pendleton and the surrounding
country.

objective point.
THE Observation-Disclosures line
will go into Olds Ferry, the big
junction of the several Hill lines.
From Olds Ferry the Pendleton
line will go along the river to
Brogen and thence over the old
road which was travelled over
80 years ago, following up Will
low creek until it crosses the di-
vide near Ironsides, from where
it will penetrate to Beulah, thence
directly west 1872 miles to Van,
and with variations south to AZ
degrees will 60 into Burns 1913

creek at the grade "a miles below
Burns, then cross the north end
of Harvey lake at Kennedy,
thence to Juniper mountains, to
Lake Albert, down the marsh Che
waucau to Lakeview, and connect
with the N. G. G. This completes
the fabric, with the building of
the line from Burns to Mount
Washington to Eugene to Coos
Bay, which gives the outlet on
the coast for the timber traffic.
"All of the lines described will
be brought out at Doyle, Cal.
There is a natural water grade
from Doyle to San Francisco along
the Feather river. From Doyle
in Lassen county, the line will &C

right to stage the Michigan State Fail
some sxty-four years by the legisla-

holdings become the property of the
state, TO do with as it sees fit, IL seems
as though 1t has received scant sup
port from the state treasury
In its sixty-four years Of existence
the Michigan State Fair has received
but $4,000 from the state for its up
keep and maintenance. Think Of it
over twenty-five times as much money
given out 10 the people Of the state as
1t has received in the matter of en-
couragement from the state authori-
ties!
In years past some misguided people
have entertained The idea that tbs
Michigan State Fair has been operat-
ed by corporation Of individuals for
private gain Right now the Mich
gan Agricultural society is heavily in
debt-not through loose management
but through inadequate gate receipt
for its heavy expenses
It's president receives the mean com

Death Of Capt. C. M. Doss.

Capt. Charley Doss died Thursday
night, March 18th, at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. DR.. Wyatt, near Prairie
Point, after long illness of compi-
Gated diseases. His remains will be in
tered at the Soule Chapel graveyard
tomorrow, Saturday, at IL o'clock.
On account of his age and ill health,
Capt. Doss has been seen on the streets
of Macon very seldom in the past few
years, but to our older citizens few
men were so highly regarded. During
the reconstruction days he was the
head in this section of the Ku Klux and
did more to bring order after the war
than any man in the county.
He was native of Pickens county,
WHARF be was born in 1885. A more
extended notice will be published later.
