TURNAGAIN ARM CONTRACTORS
 IN HARD ROCK

The clearing contracts from Bird Creek south are making good prog ress. Two miles only remain un- cleared between Bird Creek and one mile north of Glacier.
 The contractors in the vicinity of Bird Point have encountered very hard rock, which is difficult to break and handle.
 The work has been delayed some what in the heavy rock cut between Potter Creek and Camp 91, and also in the hard rock at Sheep Creek. The compressor at the latter point should be in operation within few days, when faster headway will be possible.
 Rasmunson & Co. put off coyote shot between Sheep Creek and Rain bow, Mile 95, moving 14,OOO cubic yards of rock with 25,OOO pounds of black powder.
 Picogno & Co. finished their con tract south of Potter Creek during the week.
 An extra gang was at work all week on the Turnagain arm line open ing ditches and improving the road bed.

CONFERENCE OF COFC
His Line Now Has Regular

Plans for providing Fairmont with

were talked over in the office of

ed a method whereby Fairmont with
the general cooperation of the various
business and commerce organizations
could send some of its merchandise
down the river to the Pittsburgh mar.
kets via the Monongahela river in.
stead of the railroads.
Mr.. Noll is one of the principal own.
ers OF the Pittsburgh and Brownsville
Packet company incorporated in Penn
sylyania. It Is chartered to operate
vessels on the Ohio kllegheny and the
Monongahela rivers. He stated that
his company was willing to put the

ter boat provided.
The boat now making trips on the
Monongahela leave Pittsburgh at
three O'clock in the afternoon and ar.
riyes at its present up.river terminus
at / o'clock the following afternoon.
This point is but 40 miles from Fair
mont Pittsburgh being 1875 miles.
Should the arrangements be complet-
ed to take over the Revonah and the
present schedule followed merchan.
disc could leave Pittsburgh at p. m.
today and arrive in Fairmont p. m.
the following day to be ready for un.
loading early in the morning of the
second day. This is as good as the
railroad service between Pittsburgh
and Fairmont and Is said to be very
much cheaper.
The need of packet on the stream
running between here and Pittsburgh
is we'll known to the members Of the
Chamber of Commerce and the, con
seiius of opinion is that quick action
will be taken to provide the city the
service. Many of Fairmont's repre-
sentative business men and financiers
were at the meeting and all seemed
anxious that committe be appointed
to rush the matter of securing for the
city the service submitted by Mr.. Noll
to a rapid conclusion.
Mr.. Noll feels that Fairmont would
be the logical Monongahela river ter.
minus for boats out of Pittsburgh and
considers the immense opportunities
instore for the city should such con
nections with Pittsburgh well worth
the endeavor OF the Commerce body.
