TALK OF COMBINATION
Is Believed o. r. & N. and Bur-
lington Will Join Issues,
AND CROSS BITTER ROOTS
What the o R 81 Ms Action in Start
ing Work on Its New Snake
River Railroad Means-Is
Prepared to Fight.

A brief special dispatch from Spo-
day morning, brought the news that
the o. r. & N. had let the contract for
the construction of the Snake River
Valley road from Riparia, Wash, to
Lewiston, Idaho, rs miles, and that
horses, men and grading outfits had
been landed at Almota.
This is the initial move on the part
of the o. r. & N. to get into the much
talked of Clearwater country. 1t means
more than all the many surveys the o.
X. 4 N. has made in Central Idaho
and all the locations filed. Heretofore
the Q. r. & N. has been doing it's build
ing on paper; now it has started to
fight the Northern Pacific with the
tools the latter has been using for six
months-graders' outfits
Lewiston, Idaho, is situated at the
junction of the Clearwater and Snake
rivers. Westward IS miles down the
Snake is Riparia, the nearest point on
| water grades which the o. r. &; n. no v
| touches. Lewiston has an altitude of
$40 feet To get into the town except by
| the Snake river road the o. r. & n.
| would have to make a sharp down
| grade from the $500 altitude of the Pa
| louise country to the level of the Snake.
| Hence the advantage of building up
the valley itself from Riparia.
To conduct a campaign for the trade
| of the fabulously rich and productive
| regions of Central Idaho, embracing the
valley of the Clearwater, Camas prai-
RE, Buffalo Hump and vicinity the O.
X. d N. must first get to- lewiston as
that is the base of operations for the
whole region. The Northern Pacific is
| already there, having built down from
the Palouse. The Northern Pacific is
now building eastward up the Clear
water and south to Camas prairie and
has a large amount of track laid.
While the o. r. & N. is late in start
ing operations, when it's line is com
pleted it will have the better line. in
asmuch as its water grades will per-
nit 1t to operate cheaper than it's rival.
There is pretty well defined rumcr
that when the o. r. G. N. strikes the
| Clearwater valley it will not stop there.
| but Will proceed on up to the summit
| of the Bitter Root and there make a
connection with the Burlington. which
| it is expected will build west through
| Montana. In many ways the interests
| of the Burlington and those of the O,
| r. & n. are identical. With connec-
