GOOD NEWS FOR UPPER
COUNTRY
E. H. Dewey Announces Ear
ly Construction of Idaho
Northern.

When shown the article in last
weeks Index, stating that bids were
wanted for ties to be used in ex-
tending the Idaho Northern railroad
from Emmett to Horseshoe Bend
and that actual construction work
would be started at an early date
e. H. Dewey, president of the Idaho
Northern railroad, stated to the Nan
pa Record that "the statements mad
are practically correct"
Yesterday, Mr.. Dewye gave out 10
publication, the following, when
will be good news to our many
readers in the upper country:
1--WE have already asked for bids
for a quantity of ties suffici0Ht to
construct the road clear through to
the lakes, but present plans call on
ly for the construction of 2S miles
from Emmett. Just as soon as the
contracts are let for the ties, which
will be within a few weeks, active col
struction will be begun and the ex-
penditure will amount to about
100000. There are several bridges
and tunnels along the route and the
work will be heavy and expensive.
The total distance from Emmett to
the lakes is a fraction over lOO
miles.

Means Much to Valley.

Commenting on the announcement
of the extension, the Capital News
says:
''The prospective extension which
has for a number of years been gos-
sip and speculation in Boise rail-
road circles is now taken to indicate
by the call for the bids as virtually
being settled that the construction
work will go on and be completed
within the next two years.
ITO that section of western Ida
no surrounding Emmett and the
Horsesho Bend country as well as
the beautiful and very rich Long
Valley, the extension is all that IS
needed to see an awakening hereto
fore inexperienced, say railroad men
who are familiar with that sction.
"The coal mines at Horseshoe
Bend are said to be capable of fur
nishing many thousands of tons OF
fuel to consumers and if once tap
ped by transportation facilities the
coal rate for western and southern
Idaho points is destined to be cut.
Long valley is rich in grains and
has on its border one of the finest
stands of timber that can be found
in the northwest This timber is
ready to be moved to the market
when the railroad is built in. The
bulk of it is owned by the Payette
Lumber company which has a 20
year lease with the state to remove
the timber in that period of time.
On the most conservative estimate,
it will take years to cut and move
the timber.
"As a farming country there is
no section in Idaho superior to
that of the Long valley. While not
as adapted to fruit as. the southern
portion of the state its hay and
grains have become noted in Idaho
for their fine quality.
1.-The mineral resources that are
found in the entire stretch of coun-
try from Emmett to the Payette
lakes will furnish, say mining men,
a guaranteed tonnage for the extern
sion, making the road pay from the
time that the first freight train is
run over it.

NORTH AND SOUTH LINE
Point to /. n. Becom-
ing an Important Trunk
Line.

To the men who are closely allied
with railroad interests and who have
known the aims of the Hartman
system, the extension of this road
is but the beginning of a campaign
hat will eventually give to the state
the long desired north and south
connection and to Emmett and this
valley a main line to California on
the west and Butte, Montana, on
the east. Railroad men confidently
predict that the Idaho Northern will
be extended to Grangeville within a
few years, and that the Pittsburg
& Gilmore will eventually become a
part of the system by extending from
Salmon City down the South Fork
of the Payette.
At Emmett, the road will branch,
one line using the p. V. to Ontario
and connecting with the Central
Oregon road, the other going to
Nampa over the present roadbed ano
ultimately reaching San Francisco
by building the projected road to
Winnemmucca and the coast.
These are the ambitions and CO.
lossal plans of the Hartman sys-
TEN, according to well posted rail-
road man, and the reason is plain.

miles; from the forks to Smiths Fe

for three innings, whiffedk two
Melon Pickers, and allowed only
one hit. Sam Mcmillan relieved
him in the fourth and pitched a
good game, striking out three men
and allowing three safe hits. For
Payette, Culver was on the mound.
He struck, out five men and allow
ed seven hits. But in spite of it all
Emmett lost But the boys showed
great Improvement over the previous
game and will be heard from next
Sunday, when they will tackle Vale.
There is some mighty good material
in the team, and little training
and practice will accomplish Won
ders. Reub Eaton is playing like
veteran behind the bat, and he is
regaining his old time batting skill.
He hit the ball every time he came
to bat Sunday and is credited with
three hits. Pete Sanders got two
good hits and Slate one. Slate is
new player and looks like a good
one. The lone score was made in
the eighth by Slate. He reach
ed first on a safe hit, went to Sc
cond on sacrifice by Mcmillan, and
came home on errors. There was
not an earned run made on either
side.
