P|[EDR|VER CREW WENT OUT TODAY
 ID FIX BRIDGES

The piledriver crew, under Fore man Sid Sheldon, with piledriver No 1, also known as the track driver, and men who will do other work on the bridges and track after the driver gets through, went out this morning. They will make camp at old camp IS buildings, now known as camp BIT. ..
 In order that the railroad might be extended to the coal fields at the earliest possible moment, several small bridges. in the neighborhood of camp BIT were merely cribbed up to allow of the extension. These bridges will now be driven and fixed up as originally intended, without interfering with the regular traffic on the road
 The men will probably be en- gagged in making camp and fixing up the mess, today and will commence operations tomorrow.
