I ENTERPRISE REAL ESTATE CO. j 0lce over Harness TH COAST TO TO WILL RUN FROM WALLA WALLA TO MOUTH OF IDAHO RIVER. The "mysterious North Coast" con tlnues to be the railroad puzzle of the Northwest. Nea.ly $3,000,000 has already been spent for right-of-way. construction work and an entrance Into Spokane. Every big railroad system in the West has at one time or another been accused of being back of the N rth Coast, but the public Is no wiser to the real finan cial lutarerts supplying Mr. Strahoin. the president of the N. C than It ' was two years ago. Strcham is calhd the "silent one," probably because be glve3 so many Interviews without le'.ting out the lecret of his backing. But Mr. Stra hoin U not retieut now about tae plans of his roid. He gave an inte -view to a S.'attle newspaper In which t ie general route of the road was outlined in plala terms. The vital part of the route to Wallowa county is h s statement that the North Coat wi 1 "build a line from Walla Walla to tie Salman river, Idaho." If that line h built It is dollars to louglinuts that it will skirt ' the northern edge of this county; across a pass in the Blue Mountains east of Walla Walla to the Grande Ronde river, down the Grande Ronde to the Snake and up the Snake to the mouth of Salmon. There Is no other practicable loute. Why does the No;th Coast want to reach the mo.th of Salmon river, Idaho? Because the Salmon river runs c'.ear acres the state of Idaho, .'rom the eastern side to the western boundary line, furnishing a water rrade route ; the great object now ba ng sought by all transcontinental railroads. Here is the Jn'erview with Mr, Strahorn as it appeared In the Seat tle paper: "No, I do not care to go Into de- all concern!
