Strategic Position Of "Pln" Road.
With the completion next year of
the Cello canal on the Columbia river
the city of Lewiston, Idaho, will be-
come water terminal point for ship
ping Idaho products to the orient and
to Europe via the Panama canal. 1t
is only about 40 miles from New
Meadows, the present terminus of the
PIN" road, to Lewiston. 1t is there
fore seen that the Pin" road occu-
pies a strategic position in connection
with the all-water route from Lewis
ton to the sea. Lewiston is 400 miles
inland from the Pacific ocean, max ing
it the most inland city In the west as
terminal point for shipping facili-
ties by water.
