SHORT LINE BUYS ENGINES
A Big Order Placed in New York-
Gossip of the 0. R. & N.
Extension.
H. O. Wilson, general agent for Butte
of the Oregon Short Line railway com
pany, returned from Salt Lake this morn
ing. Mr. Wilson is very much pleased
With the fact that the big storm is not
affecting his road materially and that so
far the Oregon Short Line trains have
made schedule time.

F. A. Nash and Alex Mitchell, two rail
road men who are well known in Butte,
had a fistic encounter in the Knutsford
hotel, Salt Lake city, Tuesday. About a
year ago Mr. Mitchell was the general j
agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. j
Paul railroad in Salt Lake city and Mr. |
Nash was and is general western agent i
for the same road, with headquarters at J
Denver. Mitchell lost his position, as he ;
claims, through the instrumentality of j
Nash, and has since threatened to whip 1
Nash the first chance that presented. Ac- 1
cording to Mitchell's story, Nash has con- ,
tinued to antagonize him, has tried to I
occasions, '
!
"throw him down" on many
and he claims to have in his possession
correspondence to prove this. Acting un
der this, Mitchell recently brought suit
against Nash for defamation of charac
ter in the sum of $10,000. two causes of
$5,000 each.
Tuesday, it seems, was the first op
portunity for personal service of papers
in the case, and Mitchell went to the
Knutsford and found Nash in the office.
Tlic two sat down together and en
tered into a warm discussion of tht 1
case. Mitchell asked Nash it the papers
hud been served on him, to which the
latter replied in the negative. Mitchell
says that after some further disagree
ment Nash said. "You know you're
lying," whereupon the blow was struck.
' Mr. Nash denies that he has done any
thing against his former employe, but
says that if ho was discharged it was his
own fault. Mr. Nash is a man about a-i
years old, and one of the most popular
railroad men in the west. Mr. Mitchell
is a relative of the principal owners of
the Milwaukee road.
The affair is the chief topic of dis
cussion among Salt Lake railroad men.

most of whom have expected something
of the kind for a long w hile. It Is not
likely any arrests will be made.
Mysterious actions on the part of tac O.
R & N. surveying party at Moscow tc
cefitly suggested that possibly that com
pany is planning to reach the rich dis
tricts of the Nez Perce reservation and
the fe: tile fields of Camas prairie by »
route thither from Moscow, instead
up the Snake river from Riparia.
A few days a;
ft
of
a party of twelve O. R.
surveyors appeared at Moscow with
Uad of equipment and, after un
'
loading the car suddenly disappeared.
Their arrival at Moscow is told of in the
following special to The Spokesman-Re
view:
"Colfax, Wash., Jan. 30.—A party of
12 civil engineers and assistants, in the
employ of the O. R. & N., arrived in Col
fax on passenger train No. 4, from Port
land this morning, and left at 6:30 over
the Moscow branch for Moscow. They
had a carload of equipments, which were
unloaded and the party had left 5Joscow
at noon, but who was in charge of the
pat I y and where they went was nof ;
learned."
A glance at the map will show that the
tracks of the O. R. & N., company ap
proach most closely to the reservation and
Camas prairie countries at Moscow. By
building not mot
than fifty miles from
Moscow the rails of the company would
strike the Clearwater on the reservation
at a point from which progress to the
Camas prairie district would be compara
tively easy. To get to the district by way
of the Snake river the company would
have to construct 120 miles of road up the
Snake from Riparia to Lewiston, and
thence on. Eventually, it is generally be
lieved. the company will build the Snake
river line, hut in the present emergency it
Is not improbable that the company will
find it advantageous to take the shorter
way of reaching the desired goal, now rec

In the last filings of the O. R. ft N.,
company with the secretary of ihe state,
there were two routes from Moscow out
lined as being routes on which the com
pany proposed to build. One of these was
"for a line from a point near the town of
Moscow, thence in a southeasterly direc
tion to some suitable T>oint on the Clear
water river."
This filing was made under the name of
the Clearwater Valley railroad company,
organized by the O. R. & X., company in
recent months, and < onfuse 1 by some peo
ple with the Clearwater Short line of the
Northern Pacific.
The second filing was made under the
name of the Snake River Valley railroad.
It provided "for a line from Moscow,
Idaho, to Collins. Idaho, with a branch
in a southeasterly direction to some point
on the Clearwater river."
These filings were made with a number
of others by the two companies, both O.
R. & N., offspring corporations, this
month.
Word comes direct from New York
that the Union Pacific will order forty
five locomotives, and the Oregon Short
Line is considering the purchase of
thirty freight locomotives. As the en
gines would be ordered by the same
officers in New York, it would mean
the largest locomotive order placed by
la western company in many years. It
would necessitate a cash outlay of
$600,000 or thereabouts.
None of the local officials are pre
pared to authenticate these reports, hut
as J. F. Dunn, the mechanical superin
tendent, is still in New York, it is
likely that some important develop
ments will soon come out regarding :
motive power and equipment. !

Engineers are reported making surveys

The citizens of Palouse and vicinity are
j deeply interested in the proposition of the !

to build a branch line from Elberton to i

the headwaters of the Palouse river via
Palouse City. When the Spokesman-Re- :
view published a list of the lines proposed
to be built by this road as shown by the j
certificates filed with the secretary of
state the people were surprised and pleas
cd. 51 an y of the business men and heavy
property owners now propose calling a
meeting and organizing for the purpose of
; offering inducements to have tlic new
road built at once. It is proposed to as
J sist in securing the right of way and oth
' erwise aiding in the construction of tlie
road.
The route as outlined in the certificate
is from Elberton up the Palouse river
through Palouse and on up to the head
waters of the river. The route follows the
river all the way and is an easy grade
up the river and slight down grade all the
way down. Tf built it will open up a rich
stock, agricultural, timber and mining
district in eastern Idaho. The end of the
proposed line will be in the midst of a
heavy timber belt where all the saw logs
used by the mills along the Palouse river
are obtained, and close to the Hoodoo and
Jerome creek mines, which give promise
I of yielding rich returns.

IN TEXAS.
A Texas judge was robbed of a horse
not long ago, and the thief, being arrest
ed, was brought before him for trial. The
judge eyed the prisoner with deep satis
faction for a minute or so, and then de
livered himself of the following :
"Owing to a personal prejudice, the
court will not. hear this case. It will be
tried by the bailiff, who will find a ver
dict in accordance with the facts. In the ;
meantime," he added impressively, "the j
court will go outside ami bend a rope and
pick out a good tree."
SCIENTIFIC FORECASTING.
The first attempt at scientific forecast
ing of the weather was the result of a
storm which during the Crimean war, No
vember 14, 1S54, almost destroyed the
fleets of France and England. As a
storm had raged several days earlier in
France, investigations were made, which
showed that the two were in reality one
storm, and that its path could have beer
ascertained .and the fleet forewarned in
ample time to reach safety.
