Rapid construction on the line from
Huntington to Lewiston may be ex-
pected, according to reports in the
larger cities Of the northwest where
the Hartman agents are securing
large numbers of men, which are be-
ing shipped to Huntington and dis
tributed along the line from that city
toward Lewiston.
The following from the Spokesman
Review shows now the situation is re-
garded by the employment agencies
of that city, and the agents of the
contractors who are canvassing the
entire northwest for more laborers:
From the number of men being
secured in Spokane and Portland 1t Is
evident the o. r. & n. company plans
an early completion of the new road
building along the Snake rivera from
Huntington, Ore, to Lewiston, Idaho.
This is che statement of Joseph Plover
who Is in charge of securing laborers
in Spokane the the company's work
between Huntington, Ore, and Lewis
ton, Idaho.
Mr.. Plover in speaking of his duties
Wednesday, said: 81 have secured
between 500 and 500 men in Spokane
and sent them to Huntington, where
they are distributed to the various
camps along the line of the o. r. &
n. now building from Huntington to
Lewiston. 1t certainly looks as
though the company is rushing the
work to early completion. AS many
men have been sent from Portland
as have been sent from Spokane. I
expect to send a carload TO the new
road in the morning.
Il have not had very much trouble
In securing all the laborers / can use.
Italians and Austrians employed in
the railroad camps have very pc

nave one man to act as their banker
and to have charge OF them. All the.
money they earn is turned over to
them. Each of them pays him 81 per
month for his services. He also Sc
cures them employment and looks
after their affairs in general. When
ever this person says take a job, or
quit 1t. they do so. It is then up to
the contractor to give this man the
best of treatment. In this way one
gang can be depended on to stay on

Twenty-one rails selected at ram
dom showed 335 spikes out of total
of 6S6. to be either not touching rail
at all, or to have worked up until the
head was clear OF rail base. This is
nearly SO per cent OF loose spikes.
Ties examined under 90 rails Sc
lected at random show that out of
313 ties 147 were bad, either from
being cut through by the rails or de-
cayed so as to be unsafe. Some OF
these ties were 80 soft that a hatchet
could be buried IN them to the handle
at a blow. Others were either season
cracked OF shattered by the weight of
heavy engines into several pieces. the

since the Milan wreck, for the pur-
pose of making a careful examination
of the condition of the road. In ad-
ditiUn to a general inspection, a care
full examination was made OF more
than 225 different rails, the soundness
of the ties tested with heavy hatch
ct md the spikes closely scrutinized
to ascertain whether they were doing
their part toward holding the rails in

There are some stretches of trnck
on the Is miles between Colbert and
Elk which are In fairly good condi-
ticn, and there are also places over;
which 1t looks like suicide to attempt
to run a train at fast speed. The
greatest fault with the track is the
looseness OF spikes, nearly SO per
cent of which are either of no use at
all in their present condition, or are
partly worked out of the tie, SO as
not to hold the rail firmly in place.

not touch the TADl base. Six out OF
the II ties under this rail were either
cut or decayed until they needed re-
placing. The inside rail was examin-
ed in this instance.
The outside rail was examined on
another curve between the same two
points, showing IL out of II ties to
be cut half in two. Only three tie
plates had been placed under the
rail; all of them were broken; none
OF the spikes on the cut ties had been
driven down, and 20 out OF "a were
not touching the rail at all.
Many Plates Found Broken.
On an average more than half OF
the ties are provided with plates, but
about one-fifth of these are broken.
Some of the ties which have been cut
are being chopped down and tie
plates placed beneath the rails. AS an
illustration Of the rottenness of the
ties, in redriving some Of these
spikes three blows from a Japanese
workman's hammer were sufficient to
sink the spike into the tie full length.
ChC VI NhN htNhiOl aichb
the line said that the cause OF the
track beinK spongy is that the proper
tamping has not been done under the
ties. He said In some places there is
a cavity beneath the ties and that in
wet weather water ''puddles" in the
cavities, making the track soft. He
admitted that It would take only a
few days for all OF the track to be
gone over and its condition greatly
bettered by driving down all spikes
that are loose.
No Section Crew.
Al Milan 1t was told the reporter
that for 10 days before the wreck,
which occurred last week, the section
foreman who has charge Of that
stretch Of track was without men and
that no work had been done on the
track.
At present ties are scattered along
the track between Chartaroy and Mi
Ian, and a good many have already
been placed. Between Chattaroy and
Colbert junction no ties have been
scattered and few have been placed,
much OF the track is in had
condition. The new ties are balsam.
fir and tamarack and some cedar.
One OF the section foremen said that
balsam ties decay almost as fast as
they are put down.
THE track was not in such bad
said this foreman, until
they began to use these big, heavy
double cylinder engines. They are
the cause OF all these ties being cut
through. The whole road should
have heavier steel, with wider rail
base. II these big engines are TO be
used"
There was crew of eight men, one
of six men and two crews OF from
IL to 20 men each working between
Chattaroy and Milan last week. One
Of these crews was cleaning up the
wreck and putting down new track.
