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,
