U. P. wamsutter to CRAIG, Colo.

Denver, Colo, June The con-
tract for building 100 miles of
railroad from Wamsutter, on the
main line Of Union Pacific, west
of Cheyenne, to Craig, in Routt
county, 40 miles west of Steam
boat Springs, the present termin-
al of the Moffat road, has been let
to W. G. Fitzpatrick & Brother,
Union Pacific contractors of Om-
aha.
The Fitzpatrick contract, which
includes the grading Of the pro-
posed line, involves about 81 ,OOO,-
900, the exact amount not having
been given out. The agreement
specifies that the work be done
during the present summer, and
it is not improbable that trains
will be running over the new line
by the end of 1909.
The entrance of the Union Pac-
iic into the Routt county coal
fields is equalled in Importance by
the thorough facilities the new
link will offer when it is extended
to connect with the Moffat road at
Steamboat, or when the latter
builds west to meet it. That one
one or both of these objects will
be consummated and probably
very soon admits no doubt.
Pending the connection of the
Union Pacific with the Moffat
road, the former will have an out
let to its main line for the ire
mendous tonnage to be derived
from the vast resources of Routt
county. The proposed line will
equal in Importance any stretch of
road of equal length that has been
constructed in Colorado in many
years.

Two Days of Steady Rain.

The past ten days have been
rather wet ones for this valley, it
having either rained at intervals
during that period. Saturday
was rainy, Sunday was cool but
fairly nice Monday came in with
a rain and it kept up until Tues
day morning, giving the ground a
thorough soaking. While it has
been cool and rather disagreeable,
the rain has insured the sprouting
of all the grain sowed, thus insur-
ing a good crop all over the valley,

Surveying reservoir Sites.

George B. Dobson, chief engin-
eer for the Western Land Co.,
came over from Pass creek basin
Sunday. They have been survey
ing a reservoir site which will COW
err a large number of acres and be
from 10 to so feet in depth. They
have been delayed by the wet wea-
Their, as both rain and snow have
fallen quite frequently in that re-
gion. Mr.. Dobson says they are
making very satisfactory progress
in the work they have mapped
to do.
c. B. Sterrett, civil engineer,
has been engaged to do some sur
veying for the parties who will
build a reservoir, or reservoirs, on
Jack creek. AS soon as the
weather settles he will take a
party out to look up reservoir
sites along the foothills of the
Sierra Madre range. He will
probably get away the latter part
of this week if the weather clears
up SO that camping out will be
possible.

Using Ferry Boat.

Baggs residents are now con-
graduating themselves that they
took time by the forelock. Fully
a fortnight ago it became apparent
that the condition of the large
steel bridge spanning Snake river
would be unable to withstand
high floods, and that the interval
before high water might DO ex-
pected, adequate strengthening OF
the structure could not be accom-
plished.
Accordingly, the people OF
the town arranged for the
construction of a ferry boat,
and a force of men worked night
and day on the craft. The day
the bridge went out the boat was
completed and put into service
and traffic into the town was moi
DELAYED all hour. The bridge
lies about $50 feet from its. for
mel site, almost buried from sigh
in a sandbank, and the ferry boa'
ir operating without a hitch.
There is also a report that the
county bridge at Dixon, whicf
has spanped Snake river at tina
point for more than thirty years
has been carried out by the higf
water.

Hard Winter Affects Lamb Crop

Louis Severson WAS in Tues
day from his Jack creek ranch.
He says that while they have an
abundance of grass for sheep now
that the long, hard winter is show
ing now in the lamb crop. The
rigors of the winter has had its
effect on the ewes. The lambs
are weak and the eve is more in
clined, on account of her weaken

spring than usual. He says con-
ditions are improving every day
