Celebration at American Falls tied to large operations
American Falls plans a July 18 celebration linked to a major reservoir project. The Oregon Short Line tracks will be moved and a 400 ft long by 65 ft high bridge over the Snake River raised by hydraulic jacks, with 50 workers and later more, plus track realignment. The railroad absorbs most costs, saving farmers about 80,000, as plans include a Spirit of Idaho pageant, fireworks, aerial stunts, Indian and cowboy exhibitions, a carnival and a crowd of 20,000 plus. Boise may send a large delegation and possibly the municipal band.
