The news is advised from Salt
Lake City that engineers will be
in Blackfoot within few days,
possibly this week, to go over
the Blackfoot and Houston branch
line for the purpose of complet-
ing all unfinished engineering
and to make way for the con-
struction companies to begin
their work with the early open
ing of spring.
1t is safe to say that Blackfoot
and Arco will witness the run
ming of trains over the new
branch before the next Thanks
giving day. We congratulate our
Custer and Lost river friends on
the good luck to them in getting
railroad connection with the out
side world.
We extend our hand in advance
for a hearty shake over the fact
that the good people of Black
foot and those sections are to be
brought in touch by railroad,
telegraph and telephone and all
in time for a great Thanksgiv
ing celebration Blackfoot News

Might Learn From the Chinese

When all is said and done it may
be that some of the manners and Gus

of Chinese civilization. and it must be
