Walla Walla Union, Oct. 27: Ru
mor again has It that the Plttsburg
Gilmore railroad which is building
through Idaho and the Salmon riv
er country is noie other than the
Chicago Northweitern, which is the
same as the NortH Coast road, which
is going to put this city on a trans
continental line. There are dozens of
groups of surveyors now working in
the Salmon river country, making lo
cations for the new road.
The situation at present presents
au alarming front for Jim Hill, for
believing that he was secure in Ida
ho, the recent actions of the rival
vcad have startled him into activity
an J his surveyors are already at
wriK completing a final survey into
Elk City, Idaho. This means noth
ing more than that the Chicago
Northwestern is coming In that di
rection attacking the Hill Interests
from the rear, thereby forcing the
Northern Pacific to "move some" if
it desires to be In at the tapping o1
this rich section,
, The Piiisburg- Gllmore, which con
nects with the C. N. W. at Armstead,
WomIng, is now debating over two
possible routes, That down the Cleai
witter to connect with Lewlstpn and.
that cu tho Salmon, va the Snake
l r in into Asotin. It is assured
that, surveyors of the North Coast
are-' at work running a line through
the Blue Mountains and It can hard
ly be any other connection thjij th
with the Pittahurg-Gllmore or Chi
cago Northwestern that they are try
ing to inake. " .
The situation Is not regarded as so
Impenetrable at present, as formerly,
for It is known that the Pittsburg
Gllmore is to 'be In Salmon Ncity, Jaq
uary 1," when they will extend their
lines either to Lewi3toa or Asotin.
This in itself presents the key to the
main situation to every person inter
ested in the matter and it is now be
lieved that without a doubt the North
Coast will coanect with the Pitts-burg-Gllmore
(Chicago North westerd)
and then east.
What is considered a good proof
has! been taken from the amended ar
ticles of 'incorporation of- this road
which provides for a branch line "to
bo constructed from a junction with
the main line at Timber creek to
Salmon river and to continue down
the valley and canyon of the Salmon
river and to continue thence to Pas

The King's Business
What Is God's business should be
pre-eminently our .business. Nothing
should stand In the way of making
It so. No Christian can have a legit
imate interest that Is divorced from
"the King's business.'.' God's para
mount interest is thesavlng of lost
men; tb this object every Interest
In heaven 'bends, so far as this
world is concerned To this same
object every interest of a heavenly
people must concentrate. Business
duties, professional duties, home du
ties, school dutle3, must on the part
5f Christian people, yield for the
time being, to the more immediate
business of the King. The evange
litsic meeting now In progress is
the King's business. Christ died to
save the people of Enterprise. Some
20 or more have already accepted
Christ as their savior. That repre
sents more in eternal values than
all the material Interests! of the town.
It is incumbent upon us to make far
greater sacrifices for the salvation
of our people than we have yet
made. Let us do it'- No legitimate
Interest wIT suffer in consequence
of such sacrifice. We have an able
eadef ln Dr. Pratt, a p werful ex
pounder of God's word, and a spirit
filled man. Our opportunity la a
rare one. v .
The afternoon Bible studies are
such as you can not obtain elsewhere
except in some of our Bible Insti
tutes in Chicago, L03 Angeles and a
few of the largest cities of our land.
Every eve.iing service has been in
itself a rare privilege. Every ser
vice you miss is a loss If you miss
it. It Is a loss which you can not
replace. God is with us and the
presence of the Spirit has been
very manifest. The singing by the"
choir has been a great help to the
services. More whole-souled, enthus
iastic singing Is rarely found. Many
a thrilling story can be related of
conversions through the singing of
gospel hymns. It inay be so here.
Let us remember that the revival
applies primarily to the church mem
ber and Just ln proportion as the

Burlington, Vt., Oct. 26. General
Oliver O. Howard, last of the Union
commanders of the Civil war, died
at his home here tonight of heart
disease. He was 79 years old.
Monday he returned to his home
here from a lecture tour in Ontario,
and apparently Was in his usual
good health. Tonight he was attack
ed by heart trouble and was dead
when a physician reached the house.
Including General Howard's ser
vices in the Indian wars he proba
bly was in more engagements than
any other officer in the United States
army. He was bo.n in Leeds, Maine,
November 8, 1830.
Aside from his splendid Civil War
record,- General Howard was of es
pecial interest to the people of this
county because he commanded the
column that made the memorable
pursuit of Chief Joseph ln the No'.
Perce war.
Joseph and the Indians are gener
ally given more credit ln that won
derful chase than Howard and the
soldiers, but It is usually forgotten
that it was an Infantry column that
pursued the Indians, who had a : '
abundance of horses, though hanJ.
capped by the women and children
of the tribe.
And there is a club of boys in
Enterprise who will note the death
of the famous general with more than
passing interest the General How
