EVERYTHING IS BRIGHT
III the Field of the Pacific & Idaho
Northern Operations.
UNNECESSARY DELAY AVOIDED

Work Hurried as Fast as Possible Machine
Shops at Weiser.
We know that all parties in the
Upper Country are deeply interest
ed in the progress Of the Pacific and
Idaho Northern road and it is the in
tention of the SIGNAL to give all the
information possible. The work has
been delayed somewhat by the ina
bility Of contractors to get men.
The only point where any serious de-
lay is possible is for small distance
in Weiser Canyon, but the force is
rapidly increasing and track laying
will be resumed at an early date.
Locating parties are distributed
along the line so that no delay be-
yond is possible. Material of all
kinds is on hands in abundance and
the side tracks here and at near by
stations on the Short Line are full of
cars loaded with track material

lated district. Other pressing de-
mands are for fuel, stone, timber and
otlier building materials that the road
would be called upon to transport
and that the company would furnish
The promoters aud builders of the
line are fully cognizant OF these con
dtions and are doing all that Is pos
sible to hasten the work Of constrdc-
ton.
