CONTRACTORS BEGIN ACTUAL
WORK ON RIPARIA.LEW,s.
TON LINE,
Camp :. Mile Above Ripara Still En-.
gagged in Grading-Men Are Be.
ing Hired at Every Point.

The first steel rail on the line that
will connect Lewiston with Riparia
was placed yesterday when force of 40
men began work at a point near the
bridge here and installed a part Of
what is termed the frog, from which
point the lewiston Riparia line
swings from the main line of the I'm
ion Pacific, running between Port
land and Spokane. The work at the
frog is of a heavy nature, eighty-pound
steel being used, while it is also nee
essary to strengthen a large section
curvature. The work at the frog was
completed in large part today, and it
is probable the full three-quarters of
a mile of the new road extending to
what is termed the slough will be
completed by tomorrow night. This
will enable the pile driver to be
brought to the slough, over which a
bridge will be built, thus affording en-
trance to the ground that will COM
prise large storage facilities in
handling the equipment.
The camp mile above Riparia is still
engaged in grading, and it is ap-
parent the contractors, despite the
inadequate supply of men, are pre-
pairing to rush the preliminary work

camps can be kept steadily employed
