LATEST ROAD SUED
Gilmore & Pittsburg Defend
ant In $500,000 Action.
LINE 'STILL IS MYSTERY
McArthur Bros,, Contractors of Rail
eray Built Into I iaho Railroad
Men Oorulnuo to Wonder
Who Backs Deal.
BOISE. Idaho, Dee. 14 (Special.)
The Gilmore dr. Pittsburg; Railroad has
been made defendant In a suit brought
by McArtnur Brothers, coatraotora. for
$500,000. alleged due for work per
formed on this lUll mysterious line,
which has bsen built Into Eastern Idaho
In Lemhi County.
. The complaint asks for 1850.000 for
work done by the contractors on the
Idaho side of the line and the balance
of the $500,000, or $150,000. for sradlns;
and installation of the road on the
Moatana aide. The total amount of
damage aaked by no means represents
the total cost of the construction of
the road between Armstead. Mont, and
Salmon City. Idaho, for McArthur
Brothers were but one of the numerous
eontrsctlng firms engaged during the
past year on the Installation of the
Une-
Bolse railroad men who have learned
of the suit are Indulging In not a little
speculation as to what can be behind
the action and wondering how serious
aa effect it will have on the plans of
the mysterious road. They assert that
If the Gilmore Pittsburg Is a Harrl
man tine, as haa been frequently as
serted, a suit of this kind would never
hsve been allowed to enter the courts,
due to the fact that system would
clear up the matter to save the reputa
tion of Hs road In tho financial world.
Argument Is aoo made that If James
J. Hill is backing tho Gilmore dt Pitts
burg, all the railroad's obligations
be met without trouble. The fact that
this line has also been said to be
a part of the Chicago & Northwestern
and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul,
forces local railroad men to conclude
that either the Gilmore & Pittsburg Is
backed by a party of Eastern speculat
ors In the hope that It can be eventu
ally sold out to thr larger railroads
cperatlng In the West, or the railroad
system behind It proposes to continue
to keep Its Identity a secret.
The Gilmore & Pittsburg was started
over a year ago, the first work being
done at Armstead, In Montana. None
knew then who was behind the move
ment and apparently they are none
the wiser today. Steel was laid In
transcontinental style, westward Into
Idaho to Salmon City, a distance of 120
miles. Surveys were made down the
north fork of the Salmon River to
Iewiston, where It was said connec
tions would be made between the Gil
more & Pittsburg and the North Coast,
the terminal of the two lines being
Portland.
Eventually, this programme may be
carried out. The Identity of the Gil
more A Pittsburg haa remained a more
profound secret than that of the North
Coast, now known aa a Harrlman line.
