$2,000X00 in Oregon aad Idaho in the

will go is not known . Tbe two most prob
able routes are one through southwestern
Oregon to connect with tbe Oregon Pacific
and tbe other through northeastern Oregon
to connect with the proposed Ilunt road to
the Sound country. It is very evident that
one of these two routes will be selected. If
it be tbe latter, we have no doubt but that
the road will pass through this valley. It
