R. R. IMPROVEMENTS
One Hundred and Fifty Extra
Men Now Employed
LEAYENWORTH MAIN POINT
Fully One Hundred Thousand Dollars
spent in Improvements in
the LeavenwOrth Yard
This Year

The greatest activity prevails in the
Great Northern railroad yards at this
point. On Wednesday Contractor S. r.
Hearst unloaded fourteen head of
heavy horses and two car loads of
plows, scrapers and grading tools. Mr..
Hearst has the contract to grade about
a mile of track for the construction of a
Y which will be used in reversing en-
gines and trains. Such convenience
has long been needed here and is only
constructed at well established and i'm
portant division points. The Y is be-
ing graded at tie west end of the
yards where the company purchased
land the past summer. Mr.. Hearst
will employ seven or eight teams and
from 20 to 80 men in this work.
William Burk who has charge of one
of the three track gangs that have
been employed here for the past two
weeks, told the reporter for the Echo
that when he got thru there would be
an addition of four miles of side track
room to the Leavenworth yards. AL
together there will be between eight
and nine miles of siding room here, and
even at that it is sometimes difficult to
handle trains, to such an extent has
the business of the Great Northern in
creased in the past year. The bed for
the new side tracks that are now being
laid was graded the latter part of the
past summer when 70 men were en-
ployed on the work for nearly three
months.
The old turn table will be replaced
by an extra ordinarily large new steel
structure that was unloaded here
short time ago. 1t took two of the
largest fiat cars on the system to carry
the two main steel beams on which the
track will be laid, in addition to which
there were two carloads of smaller steel
bars, angles and pieces that belong to
the table. 1t is designed to accommodate
those large new engines that We're sent
here in the fall. Mr. Burke says he
will also be employed in putting in the
turntable after he gets thru with the
track work. Mr.. Harrington, the
agent, says fully one hundred and fifty
extra men are now employed here in
making improvements for the company,
and fully one hundred and fifty thous-
and dollars has been spent here in bet
terments in the past seven months.
The cement culvert represents ten
thousand of this amount and the new
turn table twenty thousand.
After beginning work in the summer
and grading between three and four
miles of siding work was stopped be-
cause men and teams had gone to the
harvest fields where wages were higher
but is now resumed.
Another one hundred and fifty or
two hundred thousand dollars will be
spent here this winter and next spring
When all the Improvements contem-
plated to be made here are finished this
will be one of the largest and best
equipped divisional points on the entire
Great Northern system.
Within the next eighteen months the
population of Leavenworth may conf
IDENTIFY be reckoned at three thousand.
