sides the immediate advantage of
traffic between Butte and San Fran
cisco. AS far as any possibility of
telling from the contracts now let
and those which will be let in a few
days, this road should be completed
and running from San Francisco to
Butte about 1909"
This letter sounds very much as
though the company meant business
land if construction is actually begun
in the spring, it is not likely that
the Short Line people would long
delay the work of extending the
Mackay branch.
The Salmon river country is the
richest undeveloped region in Idaho.
1t Is not only rich in mineral, but
there are thousands of acres Of VIZ
gin soil that is suitable for stock
and grain raising. That the region
is undeveloped is due entirely to the
fact that It's remoteness from rail
roads has made it impossible for
man to produce the hidden wealth
of the mountains with any degree of
profit, and the distance to market
being SO great cattle and grain rails
ing has been Improbable, beyond
that which was necessary to supply
the home market.
Considerable foreign capital is al
ready invested in Lemhi and Custer
county mining claims. 1t is said
that Mr.. Bancroft of the Short
Line company, is heavily interested

RAILROAD BUILDING.
Looks Now as If the Iron Horse
Will Invade Salmon River
Country This Year.

That one or more lines of railroad
will invade the great Salmon river
country this year, now seems as
sured. The Short Line people have
had their eyes on that region for
some time and when the branch
was constructed to Mackay, it was
believed then that 1T would only be
a matter of a few years until the
road was continued on into the Sal
mon river country. This belief
was Stipulated by the fact that the
company had it's final surveys made
to Salmon City the year following
the construction Of it's Mackey
branch. The delay in extending
the line has been due to the fact
that there has been little probability
of any other road building into that
country and the Short Line has
been waiting until it got ready to
build.
Now, however, there are good
prospects, that work will commence
this spring on the through road
fIem Butte to San Francisco. This
WHY S,sknown as the San Francisco,
Idaho & Montana railway, and it is
said that sufficient capital has been
raised to build the entire line. AS.
surance that the road will be con.
structed is given IN letter to the
