made arrangements with the Idaho Stage
Company for line of Concord coaches to
be run from Ukiah the northern terminus
of Its line, to Hidesville, Humboldt County,
the southern terminus of the Eel River
Railroad, distance of 146 miles. Before
the Cloverdale extension was completed on
the Donahue road, and when the Eel River
road extended south as far as Eureka only,
the same project was tried by the late j. NJ.
Donahue, but was found to be failure
financially. owing to the great distance be-
tween the two teImini. Since then both
roads have made extensions, until at pres
ent the gap to be covered by stages is only
146 miles, which distance can lie crossed by
stage in forty-two hours, with rest of six
hours at some station on the road yet to be
de sgnated. The Idaho Stage Company
controls nearly ali the stage lines in the
north, and has recently secured the mail
contract over the aforementioned route.
