CHur d. Alene country he made a stake and

OF these gentleman, and having been pres

when his proposals were received and dis
cussed, sought an interview and ATTAINED
it. He proposes to build transatlantic
railroad, making the distance 200 miles
shorter than any connection now in ex
istence. His idea is to build short
lines first between points that will
pay with a view to their final connection
and consolidation. He has three
miles of road now constructed in Alturas
county in this state and five miles
more graded. He has been endeavoring tC
tbs Boise business men and capitalists in
terested in this enterprise. While it is ad-
mitted that schemes far more chimerical
have succeeded the men of this city who
have money are very careful of it. There
are none of them who had not risen from
from proverty and do not like to run any
chances of return to their former state
