POINTS TO A GLORIOUS FUTURE
What the Salt Lake Tr.i-
bune Says About
OUR RESOURCES.
A Good Time Surely Conn
ing.

At last the magnificent resources of
Weiser and Washington county are
beginning to attract wide spread
attention and to the most doubling
mind it is plain that the next two or
three years are big with promise, and
the indications of future greatness
are seen on every hand. Within
another twelve months events will
trauspire to bear this out and create a
welcome change for the better in the
condition of the entire county.
Already within the last month have
two different companies turned their
eyes to Weiser and contemplated the
feasibility of railroad up the river
northward- The U. p. has also
issued orders to its agent to refuse to
give any freight tonnage statistics
regarding this point which goes to
show their desire to hold the route up
the river, which they have once or
twice had surveyed but have forfeited
their roughts. Phus there are in
reality three railroad companies
striving for the Weiser pass. The
following from the Salt Lake Tribune
of the 10th, shows how our resources
are attracting attention:
"There is going to be great future
for the country along the Oregon
Short Line in Idaho, especially IN the
western portion of the State. That is
great valley which has its lower
d, termination near Huntington, Oregon
where the valley narrows down to

into a big canyon which extends
many miles down stream. Weiser y
the central business point for thi
portion of the valley as it also is TO
Il the country trayersed by We:ser river
c a stream that heads far to the north
l. east in fine agricultural and timber
ed region. Weiser is surrounds
with large country of the YER
richest of lands, while the climate

cereals and fruits not only large but
most excellent quality.
