WILL OPERATE
IN SIX WEEKS
Fourteen Miles Of Steel
Laid Between Salt
Creek and Illco.

Within the next six weeks, or be-
tween September 1 and Is, the North
q South railroad will have its initial
line connecting ulc6 and Salt Creek
fully constructed and in operation.
This was the statement made today
by c. s. Lake, chairman OF the board
of tho new carrier. Serious delay has
been caused by the impossibility of
securing prompt delivery on neces-
sary materials and equipment.
Fourteen miles of eighty-five pound
rails have bee laid oil thirty per cent
of the track laying from nlco north.
and 30 per cent of tho grade has
been finished. At the other end of
the North & South railroad. which
eventually will reach from Casper TO
Miles City, Mont. much work has
been done south &c Garland. Mont.
and II is expected that this distance
of So miles will be ready later on in
time TO are for this eason's crops.
Construction between Salt Creek and
Garland. Mont. is approximately IS
per cent completed.
Shortly before traffic is directed
over the IIlco-Salt Creek line offices
for the company will be established
In Casper. Whether or not perma-
nent headquarters for the entire line
VIII be located IN Casper, is a matter
which has not as yet been decided
upon.

marked the completion OF the entire

essential materials been procurable
