Mr.. E. NJ. Morris, who returned last

thinks it will be only matter of very
short time when they will be laying

working all along the line at various
points making improvements of differ

That the Laramie Hahn's Peak &
Pacific is forging ahead cannot be dis
puted 1t is their intention to get into

possible moment. This summer they
also expect to erect snow fences and
