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
