He will attend the meeilng of the inuuty judges of (lie state In session there this week. With him waa W. A KobbliiH, who Is one of the Har ney county commissioner. While In Ontario Judge Levens took little time to discus matter of the county court. What he did talk about, however, waa that which I on the minds of every citizen of Burns and the Interior country the rail road from Crane to Burns which James K Weston propose to build At the present time, according to Judge I.evens the feature of the pro posed road is the fact that the Boise capitalist whom Mr. Weatou succeed ed In interesting have gone to the ex pense of seudiug a crew of engineers to Ihe field tn make a survey and de termine ivery factor connected with the enterprise Not only are tln-v MirwiiiK a route, but they are also making hhiiumhs to determine what traffic cm he secured for the road On this point largely depends their furtherance of the proposition If iln-v can determine whether or not the road can develop sufficient traf fic to pay dividend soon after it Is built, they will furnish the necessary capital. The making of these Investigations is in the hands of Engineer Franklin a liolse who came out on Monday alto, but he did not discus what his work bo far had revealed.
