RAILROAD ARMY Being

Men and Horses and Machinery
Coming in at Lively
Rate

The biggest army of workmen eve
gathered together by railroad fol
the construction of so short piece
of railroad will be employed on
the Idaho Northern extension from
Emmett to Smiths Ferry, distance
of So miles. The statement was
given out officially this week that
100 men will be employed on every
mile of road, except where the grade
runs through a level country, and
that inside of 80 days 5000 la
borers and 1000 head of horses will
be at work along the route.
Men, teams and machinery are
coming in continually by railroad
and wagon road and are being dis
tributed in the numerous camps.
Three steam shovels are already on
the ground ready for business. Next
week the lowlands will resound with
the bang of scrapers, the swish o.
shovels, and the shouts of the m ule
drivers; the hills will echo with the
sound of picks and shovels and the
chugging of the steam shovels; the
canyon will reverberate with noise
of pick and drill and the explosion
of giant powder and dynamite. There
cars of powder arrived this morning
for the heavy rock work, so when
you light your pipe don't do it in
the vicinity of the switch track.

his soul was filled with a peace
that knew no discomfort or discor-

They'll be off tomorrow. So says
Thomas Crere head push of the Wa
satch Construction Co., who has
the contract for the first nine
miles out of town, which includes
a section of the first tunnel, 500
feet long, at Black canyon. He has
sublet the tunnel work and some
of the grading. One of his camps
is located close to the Fest-Bowers-
Wolfe 40-acre orchard. The old
man in charge, when he looked at
those magnificent peach trees on
that tract, emphatically declared it
was a blankety blank shame to teal
them out for a railroad. Theoreti-
,ally it does look that way, but
from the standpoint of the greatest
