In Summer Months Next Year
S2,OOO,0OO Will Be Spent
on Eureka Road


Work will be begun this fall on
the extension of the Northwestern
Pacific railroad between Willis and
Pepperwood. and after the rainy season
in the spring we will start the con-
struction work with large forces of
men," said Capt. A. III. Payson, presi-
dent of the road, last evening. The
work this winter will be light. Some
work will be done on the tunnel at
the northern end of the gap, but il
the summer months next year the
s2,o0O.OOO appropriation will be ex-
pended"
That means that railroad connection
between San Francisco and Eureka,
the northern terminus of the line.
which now ends at Pepperwood, will
be effected soon.
Captain Payson would not predict
when the road would be completed.
That the appropriation will be made"
he said, Indicates that the railroad
will be rushed TO completion There
can be no sufficient income from the
southern end of the line, and 1T would
appear that the construction will be
continued until the line is complete.

CONDENSED NEWSPAPER
FOR HOSPITAL NURSES
Unique Feature of Care of Los
Angeles Patients

LOS ANGELES, Sept. IA unique
feature of the care of patients was in
troduced permanently into the Cali
fornia hospital in this city today after
experiments for some time had proved
it's value This feature consists of a
condensed daily newspaper containing
a resume of all the news of the day
taken from the morning newspapers.
The news is divided under three
heads-foreign, United States and local
and is read to the nurses while they
are at luncheon. 1t is enthusiastically
received by the nurses, who are then
prepared to impart it to the patients.
The therapeutic value of the plan,
according to DIR. Walter Lindley, head
of the hospital, must soon be recog-
nized by all hospitals.
