Telephone Line Staked Out

Your correspondent found out
this week the probable reason
for the Palisade-Eureka telephone
line refusing to work last Friday
when an attempt was made to
send the SENTINEL its report.
The telephone line crosses the
E. & p. railroad several times in
the first two miles out of Pail
SADIE, and in places has sagged SO
low it was impossible for the en-
CINE to go under it. Instead OF
taking up sufficient of the wire to
permit of a safe passage, the en-
giueer or his fireman is reported
to have taken the line from sew
eral poles and staked it out in
the sagebrush.
One of the teamsters running
into Palisade noticed this con-
dition of affairs the other day and
reported it to headquarters. The
matter was taken up with the
railroad contractors, who at once
gave assurance that their men
would cause no further Interrupt
ton to the telephone line.

pALISADE CORRESPONDENCE
Rebuilding of E. & P. Being
Delayed By Non-Arrival
of Steel Rails
Palisade, December Is.

The work of rebuilding the
Eureka & Palisade Railroad has
been considerably delayed during
the past 10 days on account of
the non-arrival here of the rails
for laying down the track. The
track has only been completed
for q distance OF about two and
a half miles out of Palisade, from
which point the building of the
road is being delayed for want of
rails. The work of building the
bridge across Pine Creek is pro-
crossing slowly, but most of the
piling work through the canyon
is yet to be done. 1t is said that
just about half of the work
through Palisade canyon has
been finished.
The steel rails-35 pounds
are to be furnished by the rolling
mills at Pueblo, Colorado, and
the contractors here have been
notified that a good sized ship
ment of these rails was delivered
to the Rio Grande Railroad the
first OF this week and are due to
arrive at Palisade any day now.
In the meantime, the men,
teams and scrapers of the grading
outfits r strung out as far as
Blackburn, where a new construc-
ton camp was established last
Saturday. The grading work has
been completed for about four
miles out of Palisade, and the
construction camp at the Stump
Ranch has been moved to a new
point further up the road.
About rs men are now en-
ployed.

this week for surgical treatment.
DIR. Hood Of Battle Mountain was
called to see the injured man the
first of the week, and after an ex-
animation said it would be neces-
sary to insert a drainage tube in
the injured leg, and at the doc
tors suggestion the man was sent
to a hospital at Salt Lake where
be could receive the proper treat
ment.

deavor to obtain trace Of her where

WILL ENFORCE
SANITARY LAW
Police Hare TO See That
Order is 0bsysd.

According to an order sent out by
Police Commissioner Cropsey follow
ing a request by Health Commission
er Lederle, the police here will en-
force the law that forbids the ex-
posure of perishable goods for sale
on p~ushcarts and stands. The law
distinctly makes it a misdemeanor to
expose uncovered pastry, sliced fruits,
dried fruits, candy, confectionery,
meat, poultry and game. Commits
sioner CrOpsey's order is to every
policeman to enforce the sanitary
law.
Mr.. Lederle informs the police
commissioner that his sanitary squad
is helpless to enforce the law. Al
though in Manhattan ami Brooklyn
this squad has raided scores of push
cart men in every section of the
town, ~oyerturning their carts and
dumping their wares into the cutters,
these strenuous hints have been I'M
ayailing. The police here expect lit
tie trouble in enforcing the law, as
there are few pushcarts and the like
who expose anything for sale, al
though fish peddlers were forced to
cover their carts and wagons some
time ago.
