Railroad talk in Salmon City hints at California extension
Local papers relay a plan by James J. Hill to extend the Northern Pacific into California. Survey parties traveling from Chicago via Winemucca to Grantadale and across Nevada toward Sacramento are noted, with a suggested timber route in Northwestern California. The Spokane Union sees Chicago & North Western reaching Spokane and the coast, aided by a doubled capital stock and a Western route through Wyoming and Idaho toward the Salmon river corridor.
