falmon City, . Idaho, Feb.' 13. The
trerk laying machine on the Pittsburg
& Oilmore railroad has left the new
town of Isadora and la down the Lem
hi valley toward Balmon City, laying
an averaee of two mllrs at track per
ly. This rata of speed will bo main
tained' until t; cornea within IS mllps
of the city, after which lta progress will
be 'somewhat slower. Put It will reach
Fort Iemhl the latter part of February,
and allowlnc for all probable delay, tha
steel will be spiked Into Salmon City
not later than the first of April.
The theory that this Is s II1U road
Is So well grounded that it will admit of
no further dispute. The tremendous re
sources back of the movement are mat
ters of marvel, and the tenacity of the
construction force during most frigid
conditions . la most admirable- , The
company has all this winter spent
money like water, and It Is safe to say
that. If this work had been -defefed un
til milder days 10 cents would have
done s much as a dollar has accom
plished in the w inter campaign.
Comprehensive System Planned.
The progrsm appears to be to build a
completed system f railroad lines and
feeders, about aa followsr A road-from
Boise to Butte, connecting there for
all Montana points, as well as for. ths

the present route at Tenino and fol
lowing the' west Side of the pentnauU
reach th city via route along the Narrows,-crossing

The Point Defianc line, a It N

present route, but ths grade to be se
cured more than compensates, for tlm
extra distance. The crossing at Pa

construction of this additional 41 mile
