I found this tidbit from the April, 1916 issue of "The Timberman" on page 45;3 in a small article titled Boise- Payette Company: <br /> <br /><b>Boise-Payette Company</b> <br /> <br />...The logs are railed over the Intermountain railroad which was constructed by the company into the Boise basin a distance of some 35 miles. Operating rights over the government owned line constructed from Boise to the Arrowrock dam on the Boise-Payette project bring the logs right into the dam constructed across the Boise River...The timber is of excellent quality and will run about four logs (16 ft section) to the thousand. <br /> <br />Jim <br /> <br />
