aud said q good many things,

couraging to patriotic citizens of

"How much longer will you be
in Mexico?n he was asked.
1.-TWO years--or until the road is
completed" was the answer. 81

He didn't say that Mexico would
get the road, but it can hardly be
understood that the Chief Engineer
would have much use for head
quarters here if the line goes to the
burg on the west of us. His re-
mark is given only for what it is
worth, however.

never stop working for this line
until I saw it built either through
Mexico or Centralia. Until line

ways possibility of the original
