"A view that never fails to impress
the traveler is beyond Grangeville at
the brakes of the Salmon River canyon, where the highway begins its
descent to Whitebird, the scene of
one of General Howard's battles with
Chief Joseph's warriors. The Buffalo Hump country, the high knob

the vast depth of the Salmon River
gorge burst into view at the sudden

off to the Little Salmon, leads
through Council, Cambridge, Midfvale

"The North and South highway
proper extends from Eastport, on the
Canadian border, to Boise, in southern Idaho. Work is in progress at
many points north of Potlatch. From
