Four years ago In a speech mad at
Portland before the chamber of com
merce there, Mr. Hill said that , when
the Northern Paclflo built .west a mla
taxe was' made that It did not take th
Clearwater rout and follow the water
grade' into Portland. If . It was a mis
take then, the mistake will still remain
until the logical road la a reality. A
study of his work seems to clearly show
he Is rapidly working out- this reality.
Perhaps this la what Harriman 'realised
and - Is' why ha again placed surveyors
on the middle, fork of the Clearwater
last summer-arid started them for Mon
tana, they working until driven out by

your imagination when you made au?h
a declaration, and expressed auch Vener

after examination, and some little con
