more pleasant the trip to the cavea tma
summer the great limestone labyrinths,
of Grayback mountain, known aa "Ore-,
gon's Marble Halls," will be put in
shape to recelvs visitors at an early
date. These cavea are said to be the
largest marble halls In the world, and
every year are Visited by tourists from
all sections of the United States. Form
erly the cavea were controlled by pri
vate Individuals, but are now within
tne dmflnes of the Bfsklyou foreBt re

park.. They will ba protected and cared
for by rangers of the forest service,
in faeU one of the main camps of the
rangers is near the entrance to the
labyrinths. - ; .v "
Thousands of people would visit Jhe
eaves but for- the . hard Journey. Lo
cated 6S miles south of Grants Pass
and -with the last 22 mllea of the dls
Unce covered only by a narrow, rough
and tortuous mountain trail, the, trip
to the marble halls Is anything but
pleasant, and can only be made by the
aid of pack animals. The government,
through its appropriations for such
purposes, will construct a road to the
cavea from th main highway at Wll
llama valley, and will provide suitable
shelter at the caves. Being situated In
the- heart of the forest and well up on
the Slsktyoua. the "entrance to the caves
Is an Ideal spot for camping, with an
aoundance of big game close at hand.
"Oregon's Marble Halls," with their
endless caverns of white limestone, will
no doubt be visltpd by a far greater
number of people this Summer than ever

Lewiston. Idaho; May 11. Gtlmore A
Pittsburg surveyors have run their lines
down" the Snake river ss rapidly as pos
sible. They ha,ve. been working from
their location at C?sh creek bar on the
Snake river, going towards Lewlston on
the north bank. This part of the sur
vey will be completed within two weeks.
It is surmised that the survey will be
continued down the Snake river to
Pasco. . - -
It is stated on good authority that
the Harrlman Interests will, build rail
roads , In' the Lewiston country this
year. A" survey .will be made down
Joseph xsreek and also ; from Swamp
creek, finally reaching - the : Grande
Rondo river and " coming out on the
Snake "river, At some point between
h. the iunctlon
point on the Elgin extension wlll .be
located, as the converging lines 1 must
meet In that vicinity. -
It Is stated positively that the Gll
more & Pittsburg blue prints sbow .that
this line runs from Salmon City to
Reno'a ranch, on- Birch creek. In Fre
mont county: that the survey runn-from
Salmon City to Bquaw cree,.a
west of the, town .of Clayton, , up the
Salmon river; that the survey runs down
the'Salmon river fVAm Salmon Clty to
the "Snake Vtver,1 and down the Snake

with the "North Bank" road and . the
Idaho Northern. , , "
The completion of the Panama can
al In 1915 will Just about, coincide with
the building of this new part of the Hill
system. This probably means that, the
transcontinental traffic from he Pa

line from the ports to the Northern Pa
