Lewiston teller. [volume] (Lewiston, North Idaho) 1878-1900, 1892-03-17

The promoters of the Boise Central
railroad held an important business on
Monday evening. The first business
was the election of officers, the follow.
ing being chosen: c. w. Moore, presi.
dent; w. H. Ridenbaugh, vice-presi.
dent; J. B. Broadbent, treasurer;
Charles A. Clark, secretary. The an
nual report Of Secret airy Clark was an
interesting paper. He urged the direc-
tors to proceed to the building of rail-
road, giving excellent reasons why
they should do SO: The proposal of
building road to run from Boise down
the valley, probably to Caldwell, was
discussed. 1t was suggested that an
electric road would amply fill the bill.
After an exchange of views it was
agreed that committee-Messrs,
Lemp, Pima and Sonna-should see if
water-power sufficient to turn the nee
essary dynamos can he secured near
the city. The committee will report
in due time, and if they report favor
ably the road may be sent ahead
