RECONSTRUCTION NEWS

All kinds of rumors regarding
the rebuilding of the Eureka &
Palisade Railroad have been cur
rent in Eureka during the week.
But the Sentinel has been unable
to obtain the slightest information
of a reliable nature that would
prove that any new move looking
10 the reconstruction of the road
has recently been made.
While the Sentinel has always
heretofore believed the road
would be rebuilt this year, the long
delay in making a start has about
caused the abandonment Of hope
that It will now be rebuilt before
early next spring. Unless the work
is commenced within the next two
weeks, it is almost certain that the
handicap Of rebuilding the road
during the winter months will cause
a postponement of It's recon-
struction until some time next
year.-Eureka Sentinel.
