INSIST RAILROAD
TO NEW MEADOWS
SHOULD BE BUILT

The proposed railroad connecting
Grangeville and New Meadows should
be built, in the opinion of Raymond l..
Owens, attorney for the public utili-
ties commission, and Leonard Way,
rate expert for the commission, after
a trip from Boise to Meadows, and
as far down Salmon river as higgins.
They later will visit Grangeville to
gather evidence to be used by the
state at the U. s. interstate commerce
commission hearing, on the proposed
road, in Boise, September Is.
A portion of the report submitted
by the officials, follows:
" At Weiser we held a meeting with
the business interests of the city and
later with the Weiser Commercial
club. Another meeting is to be held
at Weiser, August 81. Midvale, Cam
bridge and Council commercial clubs
met with us and agreed to furnish
additional information for the com
mission on August 81 at Weiser.
Commercial clubs and business
men are enthusiastic over the pro-
posed construction of the road and
they believe that the immense unde-
veloped resources of the country and
the saving the road would give the
state in time and freight and pas
senger rates, will more than justify
the construction of the railroad.'
The two utility commission repre-
sentatives visited New Meadows,
Round Valley, higgins, and made ex-
cursions into the surrounding ferris
tory to gather all the information that
could be obtained. Mr.. Givens and
Mr.. Way said that there is plenty of
room in the Little Salmon river can
yon for the railroad and a highway
running parallel as far as higgins to
the main Salmon river.
If the road is built it will make
scenic route that will equal the Royal
Gorge of the Colorado. The road will
connect the Pacific & Idaho North
ern at New Meadows with the North
ern Pacific and will cut fully
one-half the distance from northern
to southern Idaho 1t is estimated
that traffic from northern to south
ern Idaho would be increased 80 per-
cent.
