AS an indication that the Ore
gon Short Line company's Black
foot Mackay branch will be ex-
tended to Salmon, the latest Ore
gen Short Line folder, which is
out this week, shows the line as
being under construction. 1t is
not the custom of the company
to publish on their maps any
mileage which is not actually
built or in progress of building,
and this fact, coupled with 9th
ers, would indicate that an early
completion of the proposed ex-
tension is probability. A time
table folder can be taken for lit
} tie or much, but straws will in
dicate the direction of the wind.
