The most serious damage was fotmd between Montesano and Cosmopolls, where the new grade skirts the Che . halls River and where heavy land sldles covered the right of way with many yards of dirt and rock. Near Rochester, where a washout covering a great distance was found, no at tempt to refill will be made, as tne rails are laid on cribbing.

The next fight in behalf of lo cal option in Idaho will be fought in Shoshone County, of which Wallace, the richest town of its size in the West, is the county seat, and the votes of mothers and sisters are depended upon to oust rumsellers. Wets of the state have believed this would be the last county in which the matter would be fought out before state-wide prohibition. The popula tion is largely of a class opposed to prohibition. Taxes are high and the saloons furnish a large revenue. Speaker Clagstone has volunteered his services, offering to work for local option at his own expense. Business men of Wallace did not favor the of fer, and a compromise was accepted, the saloons to be held to a strict ob servance of the statutes. Authorities enforced these laws, but this plan did not meet approval of the drj-s. Thomas Kerl, of Coeur d'AIene, a Representative from Kootenai County in the recent "Legislature, has been in Wallace during the week, and, with his return today, it was announced that his mission was to start the cam paign to. make Shoshone County dry.
