ACROSS the wind-blown plains of eastern Washington, up through the cool, forested hills of northern-Idaho and the mountains and finger valleys of western Montana, men talk in frontier terms of manifest destiny, and call their northwest U.S. land an Inland Empire. It is a towering land, with long, lonely reaches and stupendous, high-country scenery, proud, self-assured and close to its pioneer beginnings. A geographic unit, hemmed by natural barriers, it once almost became a state (as big as all New England, New York, Delaware and Maryland) called Lincoln. Congress approved in 1886, but Grover Cleveland pocket...
While Saltonstall's voting record is not as good, he has served the Administration well in its battles with Republican isolationists of the inland states.

All this was U.S. insurance against mainland Nationalist "provacation" of the mainland Communists...
Despite such restrictions, Lindsley could well be elated over his big project. It can mean rapid development of a rich and virtually untapped area, with an inland water storage system on the continent second only to the Great Lakes. As rapidly as possible, smelters and refineries will be installed to process iron, steel, cobalt, nickel, manganese alloys and aluminum. With Alcoa out of the picture, another U.S. aluminum company. Reynolds Metals, came in. Reynolds will probably supply a third of the capital for the $270 million first stage of the project, scheduled for 1962, and eventually use a third...
