Object of Visit-the CastlefOrd Line
Brings Out Much on the Larger
Project.

AS the result of three weeks spent in
various Eastern money centers, At
torney nj. j. Sweeley returned home
last week much encouraged over the
prospects for the railroad connection
with the Western Pacific at Wells.
While the object of Mr.. Sweeley's Wis
lit was entirely different--that of fin
ancing the building of the Twin Falls
Castleford railway--he was able to
obtain much valuable information re-
garding the Western Pacific. Wis
its to Pit.aShlrg, Philadelphia, Cleve-
land D.etfUft and Minneapolis brought
oAt the fact that Eastern banks are
full of money which is not available
for any speculation, but for gilt edged
securities. But on the other hand,
| from the same sources Mr.. Sweeley
found that money could be raised from
private capital to float meritorious
projects
Three different private brokers at
Philadelphia, Cleveland and Detroit,
We're confident that money could be
obtained to build the Castleford line
provided that upon their inspection
1 it looked good to them Each made an
offer to come out (if expenses were
paid and look over the project. The

\ EfiveAhundred to ten hundred dollars
among the local business men.
But the facts which brought smile
to the fact of the Twin Falls booster
was the evident eagerness with which
the topic of the Twin Falls-Wells
froute was taken up by all of the mel
interviewed. In every case, it was in
timated to Sweeley in strong terms
that if the operation of the line wa'
made certain, so as to Eay fair in

invites all Oregon civic and business
organizations to undertake a great
movement for the purpose of interest
ing tourist travel to Oregon and the
