Boise investors and backers plan a Boise-Butte transcontinental line with a proposed $24,000,000 bond issue to fund surveys and construction. The project would open the Gem State's ore rich region, extend toward Salmon City, and connect with a future Boise & Western route toward San Francisco, drawing interest from English and other foreign capital.
