The Harrlman system Is preparing for early con struction operations In the northwest, most Important of which Is the an nouncement just made that the Har rlman lines will construct a road from Lewlston to Butte across the Bitter Roots via Lolo pass. Officials of the Montana, Idaho & Pacific railroad, a Harrlman line, have just filed in Boise with the sec retary of state plats showing the line of the road which will be 350 miles in length and cost $16,000,000. The filing of the plats at this time Indicates that extensive construction by the Harrlman system will begin at an early date. The recent activ ity of the Harrlman interests In filing condemnation suits on terminals and right of way In Clarkston and the fact that two large crews of engineers are engaged In running lines up the Grande Ronde river above Lewlston ana the report that the Huntington- Lewiston line Is to be pushed to com pletion Indicates that the Harrlman systemm ay assume an aggressive construction policy In the Lewlston country with a view of now taking ad vantage of the opportunity of reach ing out for tonnage, an opportunity which the Harrlman system has al lowed to pass by for many years. For the past 15 years the Hill and Harrlman interests have practically been at peace In the Lewlston coun try through truce agreements which has prevented the building of new lines and which to a large degree, has retarded the development of the nat ural resources of this section.
