The Weiser signal. [volume] (Weiser, Idaho) 1890-1904, 1892-09-15
But Simply a Rehearsal of
Self-evident Facts.
The Outside Appearance
Of Things
In the Wall Street Letter of Sept
9th. we find the following:

Several prominent bankers from Frank
fort and London, who arrived last week
on the Cunarder. will start at once to
Weiser Idaho, to make proposition to
the Union Pacific for the construction OF
the new railroad from that city to the
Seven Devils.
These capitalists are already owners OF
valuable property along the route, includ-
ing rich tracts around Salubria and are
desirous of developing the mineral wealth
of the country.
Mr.. Frederick L. Ames gave the sug-
gestion favorable consideration at a recent
conference in Boston, and promised to ac-
cord the project all the aid that the Union
| Pacific can command.
This is most encouraging news, as
the Letter, being an organ for the
dissemination of financial news and
information among eastern capitalists,
is supposed to give nothing but what
is strictly reliable. The simple
projection of road only to the Seven
Devils, however, is a misnomer, as II
is we'll known that should road
start out from Weiser it will head
straight northward through Camas
Prairie to connect with northern lines
The item in the Letter calls up two
questions in the mind of the SIGNAL
