Company of the upper Snake river country, spent two or three days in Asotin this week, says the Sentinel. Mr. Sloan brings out the Information that a crew of surveyors, in the ser vice of the Pittsburg & Gilmore line, better known as the Salmon river road, during the past month survey ed a bridge site across the Snake at Wild Goqse Island, and al3Q took soundings of the same. Their work was continued down on the west side of Snake river until the mouth of the Grand? Ronde was reached, when a Y was run up the Grande Ronde on the south side of that stream. This bit of news rather sets In motion a train of thought which would figure out that a line will be run down this way, also another line up the Grande Ronde, tqward Walla Walla, apparent ly with the intentiqn of connecting with the North Coast line, which Is thought to be working in this, dlrwt. Ion with, the purpose of connecting with the Salmon river road. This information is significant In Itself, and It may mqan considerable, and. It may mean but little. Anyway, it will start anew the agitation of rail road construction, U has, been knowi somq time, at east ever since the Pittsburg & Glmore line has been associated wjth the. Nqrth Coast line, that It would have to cross the Snake some where, but this is the first In formation given qut of a, survey qf the river being made, and the first Information that would Indicate that a line might be run down the Snake toi Asotin and Clarkston. both of Joseph.

Dr. J. R. Pratt -will arrive this (Saturday) afternoon and will open the union gospel meetings in the rinfc Sunday at 11 a. m. The rink has been seated with the pews from the churches and stoves have been put in to warm the build lug properly.

There will be a large crowd at the rink Sunday morning at the opening meeting, but if Dr. Pratt's powers In presenting the sospel have not been overestimated the rink will not be gin to accommodate the- people when the, meetings are fairly under way. and the great forest Is a mass of flames, but even the ground itself is a fiery furnace? We have read of conflagrations in cities where whole blocks were reduced to ruins and thousands of people rendered homeless but, here were the police and the fire brigades fighting to save life and prop erty. The people had some means of defense, but when miles and miles of plain and hillside, not only woodland, but even the grass of the field take fire, human effort can do little and often only when Nature interferes and sends the rainfall can the devas tation be checked.
