the deal involving $4,000 and was

railroad rumor which appears to-
have more to II than is usual in such
cases is floating about the city and
came to the ears of the American re-
porter. The facts are about as fol-
lows, SAYS the Weiser American:
About two weeks since gentleman
arrived in the city, remaining several
DAYS. While here he met weil-knoWn
resident of the city with whom he was
acquainted. He informed this gentle
man. In the course of their converse
tion. that he was in the employ of the
Northwestern railroad, which is now
headed for Idaho, the present term1-
nus of the road being Lander, Wyon
from which place westward grading Is
now in progress He stated the route
of the railroad through Idaho had been
selected and is about as follows: That
Me road would enter Idaho near the
southern line of the Yellowstone park
will then diverge northwest until II
s+ri,xes the watershed Of the Salmon
river, which 1t will follow down TO
the neighborhood of Pollock, where II
strikes the Little Salmon, which II
follows up untilit enters the Meadows
valley: thence over the divide to the
'weiser, which it follows down to Wei
ser.
The engineer has plat of the city
and on it the site of the proposed
denot The site selected is near the
wagon bridge over the weiser river.
The engineer also stated that from
weiser the Northwestern road wouio
run through Southern oregon into CAR
ifornia. with the intention OF terml-
mating at some one of the seaport
towns in that state. He stated that IN
his oninion the railroad would reach
/ weiser within two years. that it wouid
he nushed through as rapidly as time
ana money would permit. He aiso
stated he would return to Weiser' again
~, n few weeks to look up other mat
! .ore far the railroad company.
The Americans informant did no'
,s, that his name be suppressed, ou'
I'VE did so of our own free will. He Is
a reliable man, and one not prone te
tell fairy stories.
