Articles of incorporation of the,Lew
jeton & Owyhee Railroad company were
ant to Spokane to be filed for record,
by M. 0. Reod, a prominent attorney of
Colfax, wlro is president of the dcw road
which is to be built from Huntington,
Oraeon, down SDake river to Clarkston,
Wash., or Lewiston, Idaho, the final
destination not having been definitely
ttled. Clarkston is just acrosB the
river from Lewiston.
The capital stock of the company is
s nnn nnn rtirMAil into 30.000 shares
WfVV","".', ' - '
f the par value of $100 each.
The route of the proposed road is set
farth as follows: "This railroad lfl con.
acted with the Oregon Short Line rail
raad of Huntington, Or., which point is
alio the terminus of the Oiegon Railroad
A Navigation company's line of road;
aaa attending thence down to the Snake
liver, on the Oregon side, through 13a
kar, Uaibn and Wallowa counties in the
state of Oregon, and perhaps into Lew
iitea, through Nei Perce county, Ida-
bo, a distance of some 200 miles; extend
ing along the well-known mining dis
trict known as the Seen Devils district,
in Idaho and the Iron Dyke, Cornucopia
and Imnaha districts in the state of
Oregon." -.--- , -
The company has just completed the
purchase of the right of way of the
Northwest Railroad company, which be
gan building a line down the Snake river
from Iluntington several years ago, and
had graded about 80 miles when work
was suspended. The right of way es
tends from Huntington, a distance of 60
miles. M. O. Reed, who was elected
president, returned a few days ago from
. Erie, Pa., and New York, where be pur
' chased this right of way and grade and
sneceaded in interesting New York cap
italists, who agreed to take $400,000 of
the bonds at 5 per cent, for 30 years
Work is to begin On the road as soon as
possible and it is the intention to have
the first 60 miles completed by May 1
1904.
The completion of the first CO miles of

IUO iUaU Will glVO U UUUCk duiiiv
the rich mining districts of Idaho and
Oregon, It will tap the mineral belt of
which Mineral City, with its 100-ton
smelter, is the center, and this district
alone promises 100 tons of freight duily
It will also tap Eagle Valley, a rich agn
cultural district, and give an outlet for
the products of the valley. At a die-
tance of 58 miles from Iluntington the
road passes through the property of the
Iron Dyke mine, which promises 125,000
tons of ore for shipment as soon as the
.wad is built. A largo amount of rich
one is also waiting shipment in the Bev
en Devils district, and the building of
this road will put new life into all the
wining districts along the river.
One of the grtat advantages of the
aaw road will be the closer relationship
rt will create between tne nortu ana
icatli of Idaho. It will bring the "Pan
Imnaie" 200 miles nearer Boise, the
aapftal of the state, and it is thought the
agitation for a division of the state
waiau has been made by the north half
because of the difficulty of reaching the
aaaital, will be abolished by the building
of this road. ' It will open a rich district
where livestock, mining and farm pro
ducts are abundant, and will give a new
cutlet to tho East to the fruitgrowers of
the upper Snake river, whose fruit to
f'noh the eastern market must no via
either Spokane or Fendleton.
