Some 80 of our representative
business men and farmers met in
this city yesterday as stockhold-
ers in the Nezperce & Idaho Rail-
road. The business Of improving
the condition and service Of the
road was discussed at length and
ways and means TO this end were
effectively taken up. It was
brought out that some 1000 ties
have recently been used in inn
proving the track and an order Is
IN for 10000 more ties. The bridg-
es are undergoing needed repairs,
the soft places IN the road bed are
being stiffened up and other over
hauling viii proceed as conditions
permit, so that the outlook is
good for very satisfactory service
during the coming fall and winter.
The people realize the commune
ty's need Of this railroad and not
withstanding the many other
heavy demands made upon them,
the faithful are standing by man
fully.

toll for a wage less than that paid ~
the independent companies.
In addition to other matters which
have tended to strain relations be-
