ZURCHER ENTERPRISE, no TO SAL WILL RUN FROM WALLA WALLA TO MOUTH OF IDAHO RIVER. The "mysterious North Coast" con tinues to be fie railroad puzzle of the Northwest. Nearly $3,000,000- has already been spent for right-of-way, construction work and an entrance Into Spokane. Every big railroad system in the West has at' one time or another beei accused of being back of Vie N .rth Coast, but the public is no wiser to the real finan cial intsreits supplying Mr. 8traho:n, the president of tfce N. C than it was two years ago. Strzhorn U calljd the "silent one," probably because he gives so many Interviews without le'.tlng out the secret of his backing. But Mr. Stra horn Is not reticent now about the plans of his road. He gave an inter view to a Ssattle newspaper In which tie general route of the road, was outlined In plaln tarms. The vital part of the route to Wallowa county is h's statement that the North Coast wi 1 "build a 11 qe from Walla Walla to tie Salmon river, Idaho." If that line U built it is dollars to doughnuts that ft will skirt the northern edge of this county; across a pass in the Blue Mountains east of Walla Walla to the Grande Ronde river, down the Grande Ronde to the Snake and up the Snake to the mouth of Salmon, There la no other practlcabla igute, Why does tbe No th Coast want to reach the moith of Salmon river. Idaho? Becajse the Salmon river runs clear across the state of Idaho, from the eastern side to the western boundary line, furnishing a water grade route; the great object now be ing sought by all transcontinental railroads. "--"- - '. . Here is the ln'ervlew with Mr, Strahorn as It appearjd in the Seat tie paper: "No, l do not care to go Into ta'J concerning our future movements And there is no use asking questions about some line baing back of the North Coast. We are making connec tions with all of theai. The North Coast Is putting In a main line from Spokane to the Sound and will build to Portland eventua"iy, NORTH COS LD MON WA1.UOWA COUNTY. OREGON. "Wet are buililng with Coast lines south from SpoUane to Tekoa and are piktting in a branch from Walla Walla junction of the main line north to Daaport, and another we3t to Adams county. We intend to build on both sides of the Columbia north from Kennewick and to build a line from WaUa Wal a to Salmon river Idaho. We will cross the Columbia river 35 miles above Kennewick on the coast line and from the line that branches from Klona to Walla Walla and the Salmon river will cross at A'alla balo Kennewick. There Is to be a branch at Granger tapping the To. peniali valley.
