No. I, La Grande, TUNNELING MOUNTAINS. . Work on Snake River Road la Pro- (pruning Very SatlHfactorily. Returning from an extended trip of Inspection Into the Cornucopia and Snake river country, Charles E. Por ter, manager of the Baker telephone exchange, and Charles W. Reynolds, division superintendent of the Pacific Telephone company, who lives In Spo kane, had many things to say of the wonderful work that Is being done on the new Snake river railroad which Is pushing Its way Into a vast empire heretofore shut out from the world be cause of no means of transportation, says the Baker City Herald. It was a revelation to both Mr. Porter and Mr. Reynolds to see the productiveness of Eagle and Pine valleys and note what splendid mining sections are located to the northeast of Baker. But the thing that interested them most was construction of the new road which, after lying dormant since the panic, was started again a few weeks ago. Manager Thompson, of the Utah Construction company, who has the work In charge, has a small army of men employed and expects to put on many more. They are at work now tunnelling a mountain and Mr. Porter said It la quite a sight to see. Near the town of Copperfleld Is stationed the power plant which the air com pressors, electric light plant and other machinery. On one side of the moun tain Is a crew of men drilling with the compressed air drills, and Immediately on the opposite aide of the same mountain Is another crew at work driving a tunnel from either side. The compressed air is taken over the mountain from the Copperfleld plant In a pipe and the air drills on the op posite side are run. An electric wire la carried over the mountain along with the air pipe and that furnishes light. People of that vicinity have hope that they will be able to ride to Baker City on a standard gauge rail road via Huntington before the snow files another year. committee Meeting.
