Northern Pacific Eyes Salmon River Route to Lewiston
Surveyors are in the Salmon River canyon near Squawbar mouth 17 miles from Dixie as Northern Pacific eyes a Lewiston route. The plan would connect Salmon City to Lewiston via Bargamin Creek and the Red River watershed, leveraging Elk City timber and mining interests for tonnage and tie contracts amid renewed railroad activity after earlier World War I surveys.
