REBUILDING E. 8 PR. R.

The Palisade correspondent of
the Eureka Sentinel gives the fol-
lowing account of the progress Of
the work on the E. & P railroad:
= While great deal of work that
is necessary in completing the road
has been done during the week and
the general construction on the E.
& P. railroad is reported most
satisfactory, the completed line has
progressed but short distance.
The pile driver is still at work on
the two bridges just above the J.
2. Raine ranch, but they are ex-
pected to be completed within the
next few days. and as the roadbed
between these bridges and Black
burn is about ready for the rails.
the completion OF the line to the
latter place should only require
several days longer. =
Two new bridges are to be put
in at Blackburn. and the pile driver
will be taken there as soon as pos
sible afte. the bridges at Raine's
are completed. A grading camp
was established at Blackburn and
the grading gangs moved there
this week.
Although the nights during the
week are reported to have been
pretty cold in Pine valley, with
some frost, the weathe~ during the
day has beer all that could be
desired for rapid reconstruction
work. The force of men employed
on the road is being steadily in
creased, and now numbers about
100 men.
Mr.. Sykes, of the firm of Chad
wick & Sykes. the contractors who
are rebuilding the f. & P, was
an arrival on No. q Wednesday.
He is inspecting the work so far
completed, and is reported to be
much pleased with the progress
made.

A PLEASURE TRIP .1z y

Inc eullOrS HnlSheQ the business
before them Tuesday afternoon
and number of them left Reno
Tuesday night for their homes.
Tuesday afternoon was mostly
taken up with visits to the Mt.
Rainier brewery and the Southern
Paicfic shops at Sparks.
The editors were shown through
the brewery by Henry Reiter, one
of Reno's enterprising citizens, and
were shown all the processes of
making beer from the hops and
malt. From the brewery the
party went to the bottling work
and were shown the machinery
used in handling, filling and
labelling the bottles.
This visit was revelation to the
writer and to nearly all the other
members of the party, a. they had
never seen the machinery used in
making beer and in bottling and
labelling the product.
After the visit to the bottling
work came luncheon at the
brwery to which all did full and
complete justice. The party was
then lined up y.'their side of the
automobiles and had the pictures
took" in a group. Strange to
say the camera used by Photogra-
pher Damn stood the pressure.
From the brewery the party
went to Sparks and were shown
through the plant by Superinten-
dent Hickey. No pains were
spared by Mr.. Hickey to give those
present proper conception of the
use Of the different machines and
the work being done. This plant
is certainly a wonder. In it are
more powerful machines than 80
per cent of the people ever
dreamed we're in existence.
Several hundred men are now
employed in the shops and every
one was busy at his task. The
bunk houses and dining and wash
rooms were also visited. These
places were all clean and neat.
After going through the railroad
plant, the party returned to Reno
we'll pleased with the trip and the
many conrtesies shown them.
AS token of appreciation for
the many courresies extended, the
following resolutions were
adopted:
The Nevada Press association in
convention assembled is not un-
mindful Of the courtesies bestow ed
upon the members during their
stay in Reno and for such general
courtesy the association return
thanks.
In special sense we express
our gratitude to Herman Gosse of
the Riverside hotel for his liberal
and large hearted display of good
fellowship, and with distinct
remembrance we shall ever kindly
cherish the courtesy and accom-
modations extended by the
management of the Majestic
theater by General Freight and
Passenger Agent j. M. Fulton and
Assistant Superintendent Hickey of

pany, the superintendent of the
