WESTERN PACIFIC
WORKING IN NEVADA
Contract for Grading Between
Deeth and the California State
Line Will Be Awarded Be-
fore the End of Month.

That the Western Pacific will make
things hum in this part of Nevada dur
ing the present year becomes more evi-
dent with each passing day. The time is
rapidly approaching for awarding the
remaining contractsfor the construction
work in Nevada. Indeed, it can be
stated as an absolute certainty that the
remaining contracts between Deeth
and the Nevada California line will be
let before January. This statement
explains the recent mission of engineer
/ f. A. Frissell of the Western Pacific
to this part of the state. 1t is said
that engineer Frissell is now showing
some of the contractors over the ground
west of Deeth, preliminary to the final
submission of bids
Coupled with the fact that the con-
tract will be let before the end of jan
uary, it can be further stated that the
successful bidder will have to commence
work inside of a month from the date
the contract is awarded.
This means that there will soon be
some thing doing by the Gould line in
and about Winncmucca 1t also means
that it is time for the business men
and public spirited citizens generally of
town to open their eyes and prepare
for the rush of business which will fol
low the commencement of active con-
struction work.
On the east end, three miles of road
have already been graded this side of
the Nevada State line and there are
about 500 men working from the Utah
State line to within few miles of
Deeth.
This week steam shovel was put to
work eXcavating on the first big cut
west of the crossing of the Western
Pacific and Nevada Northern this point
being about seven miles from and at
the foot of the grade of tine big Flower
Lake tunnel,
Between the point mentioned and
Deeth, there are now about fifty teams
working, so it will be seen that the
Western Pacific is moving along steadi-
ly with operations in this state Hum
boldt Star.

CRAWFORD FINDS
MISSING BROTHER

Bob Crawford, whose brother, H.
Crawford. of Canton, Pa, has been
looking for him, is at Wells. The Penn
sylvania lumber dealer having found
his long lost brother, can now carry out
his dream of once more visiting the
Sagebrush State. Mr.. Crawford, in a
recent letter to TIE NEWS, stated that
he was anxious to come to Nevada for
a visit but that he would not make the
trip unless he could find his brother.
Now that Bob has been located at
Wells. the two brothers doubtless will
oons have happy reunion.

such men in a state; they give tone ana
