Strenuous Efforts to Get the Line Into

ORMAN & CROOK TAKE A HAND
Original Contract With Wilkerson Thomp-
son Readjusted and the Work Cut
Up Into Sections.

Construction work on the P. &l.N.
is in far better shape today than ever
the magnitude and Importance of the
has never been fully
and many unfore-
seen difficulties have arisen
The extraordinary demandfor labor
coming from all quartershas been
a source of trouble to the main con-
tractors. Not so much from lack of
men, as that when the men were Sc
cured some report from work in other
localities would cause them to leave
for new field, when as matter of
fact the steadest and surest paid Of
all employees has been those ON the
P. q |. N. Labor has finally real
lied this and more men are coming
and settling down to steady work,
and this is what counts.
The construction work under the
direction of Chief Engineer More has
been thoroughly systemized and di
vided into districts. Orman q Crook
with their force of more than 80
teams and 100 men will take the
work above Salubria Other parts
of the work has been sublet, and In
this manner the force is distributed
so as to make it most effective and
easy of supervision The whole will
be pushed rs energeticcally as pos
and the good people of the upper
valleys will see the trains of the new
road much sooner than many skepli
cal ones suppose.

tricts of the construction, which orig
inally was let entire to Wilkerson 4
Thompson, the Salt Lake Herald i
informed;
1.-The work on the Pacific q ldah'
Northern, Which has been going OF
since last July, will now he rushe'
vigorously. Wilkerson & Thompson
the contractors of Ogden, who hay
had the construction work in hand
have been seriously handicapped b.
Il series of misfortunes, chief amon
which is the big advance in the prlc
of steel and construction material
since the original contract was signe
last March. The contract was orig
inally taken on mileage basis, an
for the past two months the operation
have hung fire because the contractor
could not see their way clear to sui

themselves expected TO receive fro
