Oregon Short Line more than year
ago. He was in his seventy-fifth year.
Since retiring from active service with

his time in southern California and re-
turned from there with his health
greatly improved about three weeks
ago
The following notice was sent out
by General Superintendent w. A.
Whitney and copy has been received
in all of the local departments of the
Short Line system.

SENATOR BORAn HOME
Thinks Colonel Roosevelt viii Support
Republican Ticket.

Il am not authorized to speak for

that he Will support the Republican
nominee and the Republican platform
in the next national campaign. That
is my guess now. | spent last Sun
day afternoon with him and discussed
of course, political matters, as we nat
urally would, and have arrived ia the
conclusion above stated"
So spoke Senator Borah on his re-
turn from the east Saturday evening
The senator is in excellent health
and spirits and he looks forward
with pleasant anticipation to long
vacation in his home state.
After spending two summers in
Washington, you can imagine how it
feels to be back home again" said
the senator. ut is an elixir to meet

man and woman in the state. / in
tend to visit all the most inaccessible
parts OF my home state and feel the
temper of the people. 1t is my first
vacation in a long time and l know
shall enjoy It,"
Senator Borah was greeted at the
depot by throng of friends and he
held an informal levee on the plat
form, shaking hands right and left
A procession followed him to the Owy-
hee and it was long hours before he
was through receiving callers

tor, unless something unforeseen in

them, purely and solely for the pur-
pose of building up and strengthen
ing the Republican party as best can
on liberal lines"
"How about the talk of your presi-
Dental candidacy" he was asked.
Il am not presidential candidate
he replied. "Many have been COM
plimentary enough to mention my
name in that connection. l have
definitely and sincerely stated that

A SPLENDID
NEW GRADE
Good Work on Shoshone Falls
Portion Of Highway 4
MAXIMUM OF EIGHT PER CENT
ELIMINATES DANGEROUS ITCH
&. D. johnson Expects to Effect Saw
ing Over the Bids Made for the
Work.

People who now visit the Shoshone
falls can gain clear idea of the route
of the state highway from the rimrock
to the ferry by the grade stakes at the
lower end and by the work on the
upper portion which is fast nearing
completion. The work in charge of
G. ID. Johnson is being we'll done For
the past two weeks crew of twenty
five men has been engaged in both
dirt and rock work which Is now
showing the results on the first pitch
of the grade.
The new grade, which eliminates the
hairpin turn and steep pitch at the
top, will start from the rimrock to the
left OF the present grade and run due
east crossing the present grade at
the bend above the steep pitch. The
new grade runs almost directly oppo-
site the steep pitch and follows the
contour of the rimrock. A great deal
| of rock work was necessary to make
this road bed and the rimrock has
been shattered all along the route
with terrific shots of dynamite until
the road bed now rests upon a sound
foundation of great rocks that assure
permanence of the road. These rocks
will be covered with loose dirt and
binding surface of straw which will
make very substantial road and one
not easily destroyed through weather.
ing
| Mr.. Johnson has in his work on this
portion of the grade built up by hand
piling fine rock retaining wall so
that. the grade when finished will not
only be an engineering success, but
picturesque as well, as 1t winds down
along the towering walls Of the can
yon.
Another advantage of the new grade
is the fact it cannot be undermined by
waters flowing from the cliffs above,
while good gutter on the upper side
will prevent the water from storms
from running across to make little
runs and gullys. The entire first por-
ton of the grade will be under eight
per cent maximum and very easy of
ascent for teams and autos.
By Saturday of this week the first
stretch of the new grade, while rough
in spots, should be passable. The low
er portion while longer, presents but
few difficulties in comparison with the
work now being done
An interesting operation in the work
is the blasting of the walls of rock
which can be seen at certain hours of
each day in which rock for fill is easily
obtained.
Mr.. Johnson stated to The Times
that unless some unforeseen accident
should disturb his plans, that the
grade would be completed for at least
a thousand dollars less than the low
est bid by contract and at the same
time give work to local men for the
ImOSt Dart
