Will Build to Winnemucca.

Yesterdays Statesman is author.
itv for the statement that the Ore.
gon Short Line will, in the early
spring, start to build a railroad
from Caldwell bv the way OF
Homedale aad thence south to
Winnemucca, New, connecting
with Southern Pacific at that
point, according to reliable infor-
nation. A few months ago the
road from Caldwell to Houedale,
which was owned by the San Fran
cisco, Idaho & Montana people,
was purhased outright by the
Short Line people. The final sur
vey has been made from Caldwell
to Winnemucca and as soon as the
good weather sets in in the spring,
the work of grading and building
of this road will be pushed with
all possible vigor This is looked
upon by railroad men who have
followed the moves of the Harri-'
man and Hill interests, as a final
move on the part of the Short Line
officials III getting into this coun-
try before the Northern Pacific
gets busy. In view of the fact
that in the southern part of the
state where the survey has been
made, there is but one practical
pass and that but one road could |
possibly go through it, this action
precludes any possibility of the
Hill roads getting into this part of
the county.
