SHE aORNiyg OBEGOmAK, SATURDAY, "MAY -13, .1905: - MAKE NEW SURVEY Northern Pacific Engineers at Work Near Lewiston.

Northern Pacific surveyors have again entered the field and there is much excite ment over their presence, though they have been expected for several days by certain Informed individuals.

Two months ago this same- party occupied a camp on the Snako RlVeri on the Clark Fton side and below .Lewiston, and were running a lino, down the Snake River.

R. & N. surveyors are expected to be in the field here tomorrow. It is understood that an engineering party is leaving Portland to night for this vicinity. SELL STOCK IX .PORTLAND.
