Lewiston and a tunnel through the
mountains from Salmon river would
give an easy grade and also the most
direct route possible through from the
east, tapping a good mining country
along the Salmon river and good

Another theory which looks good and
which in view of the fact that much
secrecy is being kept about the work

since it has been III the west, is that
the Chicago and Northwestern are 60
