RAILRUAD JOB
IS
REMARKABLE
BIG IMPROVEMENTS MADE ON
UNION PACIFIC.
More Than Million Tons Material Re
moved in Making New Track.
Improvements on the Union Pacific
in making new tracks and doing oth
er projects, ore enormous, it is point
ed out in communications from Wil
liam McMurray,. general passenger
Agent for the O.-W., to J. H.
Keeney local agent. The information
goes on to state:
Mkre than a million tons of eurth
and rock were moved in the building
f a new track, which has just beon
completed on the Union Pacific Sys
tem just east of Ogden Utah. The
job is remarkable because it was un
dertaken and Completed at a time
when railroad construction over the
country was at tho lowest ebb in
years and because it cuts down to a
maximum of 60 feet to the mile,
grades which foilmerly were much
heavier. Incidentally the new track,
in places 65 feet higher than -the old
gives the traveler on the Overland
Route a better view of the scenic
glories of Weber Canyon one of the
finest beauty spots of the land.
The work was begun in April, 1915,
'-id "cut in" for service December
27th.
At many points the new line is con
structed so close to the old line that
it was difficult to carry on tftie opera
tions of grading and ballasting with
out interfering seriously with the
operation of trains on the existing
line, and of necessity the work had
to be conducted with great care to
avoid accidents to trains or cause
delays to traffic.
The rate of grade in Weber Can
yon on the old line is about ninety
six feet to the mile; on the new line
it is exactly sixty feet to the mile.
There was one tunnel built on the
new line through a bold projection of
granite known as Shecphead Rock.
The work in this tunnel was compara
tively slow on account of the irregu
larity of the layers of rock which were
inclined at a great variety of angles
and made in many places excavation
of the material both difficult and dan
gerous. The tunnel is about 250 feet
long and is lined throughout with a
wall of concrete two feet-thick to hold
back the sand and gravel that would
otherwise fall upon the track. .
Here is the . place where geolo
gists tell us there existed at one time
the laked called Bonneville, which was
larger than Lake Michigan. Eviden
ces exist in this canyon to Bhow that
the shore lines of the lake extended
well up into the canyon probably
much higl'r:. Dhian the grade reached
by the present work.
In all about 600,000 yards of mater
ial was removed or a total weight of
1,200,000 tons, which was quite an
item considering that i,here iwas scar
cely . room to work above the lower
level of the original track. . Not one
life was lost during the work and no
serious accidents occurred.
It was tfWrough Welber canyon
that the early Mormon band of pio
neers ascended into the valley of the
"Promised (Land." This and many
other historical events connect Weber
Canyon closely with the exploration
and progress of the West, and the
tiaveler over the lines cf the Union
Pacific System cannot but be inter
ested in this canyon which is so rich

ITEMS OF INT EflEST
FROM IMBLER
Imbler, Feb. 19. (Special) John
Witty arrived home Wednesday after
six weeks' visiting in the middle west
and Canada. Although Imbler s gen
ial postmaster enjoyed his visit very
much, one of his first remarks con
cerning the journey were these: ,' Ore
gon certainly looks good to me."
. The M. I. A. basketball quintet
worn Covet met the local members of
the league on the Athletic club floor
Tuesday evening in the fastest game
that Imbler fans have witnessed dur
ing the season.- The game was full of
"pep" from the first sound of the
referee's whistle. The first half
closed with Cove 19, Imbler 14. Dur
ing the second half the game became
rougher and finally just as the time
was about up, the Cove captain called
his men off the floor and forfeited the
game rather than continue playing.
In fact the second half resembled
football .about as much as it did bas
ketball. Final score, Imbler 26, Cove
25. The lineups were: Imbler
Stringham and Lamb f, iWestenskow
and Hetwae g, Rollins center. Cove
C. Hancock and Orton f, Baxter and
R. Hancock g, Mottling center.

friends, as everybody liked the "smile
that wouldn't come off'
A clipping from a Nebraska news
paper gives the news that Will

tending the Ord high school and in
cidentally doing a little wrestling,
having won three falls in one evening
against a well known, amateur mat

The Imbler Athletic club held a
business meeting Wednesday evening,
and decided to continue the organiza- J

SNOW MELTS.
MUDDY
NORTH POWDER STOCK READY
FOR RANGE.
Personal Mentions and General News
' from North Powder.
North Powder, Feb. 20. (Special)
The snow is disappearing fast and
it will not be long until stock can be
turned on tlhe grass if the weather
keeps warm. This is welcome news
to stockmen as it will , relieve the
stringency for hay and straw. ,
The roads in this section are very
bad as the result of the melting snow.
Water is everywhere and the result
is almost impassable roads in places.
We wish those good roads people
would get to work and do something
on that line.
The Feds from Union gave the
Commercial team of North Powder
rather a severe drubbing in basketball
in their last game. The score stood
22 to 44 in favor of the visiting team.
This came as a surprise as the Com
mercial team beat this team earlier in
the season and thought that they
could do so again. This takes away
the Commercial's chance of trying for
the championship of Eastern Oregon.
The Commercial got beaten by the
M. I. A. of La Grande on Wednesday
of this week. However the boys
made a good showing for their first
year. '.
John Law has taken his ranch back
and ds expecting his family every day
to join him here and they will move
to their future home there. Mr. Shaw
and bis family have spent the past
few years in Portland but have re
turned to their former homo once
more and will stay here for a time at
least.
Walter McGrath - is buying up
some colts. He bought four of Jerry
Lenheart and some of Lane Goff. He
will send these colts down to Union
iwhere he has pasture. Mr. McGrath
thinks there is good money in young
norseB DougJit rignt.
Earnest Forsstrom and family are
taking a vacation in Portland and
having a fine time while in the big
city. i
Arch Rollins sold his barber shop
and residence to Martin rearce and
left for Ohico, Calif., where he will
make his future home. Mr. Rollins
has lived in North Powder for several
years and the best wishes of his
many friends go with him to 'his new
Home. - i .
Neal Olson and wife returned from
California a few days ago. Mr. and
Mrs. Olson and family left for Cali
fornia last autumn expecting to make
their home in that place but not be
ing satisfied came back to ' Oregon.
The young people expect to return
later. It seems-to be something about
the Eastern Oregon air that is fatal
to one who has lived here once to ever
go away and stay and be content.
They always return.
Miss Anna Taylor has left for
Central City, Colo., where she will
teach the remainder of the school
year. She will return and take up
her residence on her homestead as
soon as her school is out.
Mr. and Mrs. Wan. Weast are the
proud recipients of a large valentine.
A boy weighing 10 1-2 pounds arrived
at their home on Feb. 14th.
Washington, D. C, Feb. 21. An
unfeeling court-martial board on the
U. S. S. Florida, not reverencing art,
has sentenced Private Michael Angel

to a bad conduct discharge for "cut

while on shore leave. Those members
of the Marine Corps who misbehave

Conservation stands sentinel
over the natural resources
of our country, and forbids
wanton destruction of forests, mines and animal life.
Conservation multiplies the by-products of industry, and changes
waste into profit. It is conservation that turns rags into miladi's
dainty note paper.
It is conservation tnat gathers together worn out garments,
discarded sheets, carpets, and similar objects which have served
their useful purposes. In the General's big roofing mills, these
are masceratcd, saturated, sterilized and beaten into pulp, which
finally comes out of the rollers in one continuous sheet of clean,
strong roofing felt. '
It is then thoroughly saturated with the General's own blend of
soft asphalts and coated with a blend of harder asphalts, which
keeps the inner, saturation soft and prevents the drying-out
process so destructive to the ordinary roofing. This explains why
Certain-
teed
Roofing
out-lasts other roofing; also why the General can safely guarantee
it for 5, 10 or 15 years, according to ply. Experience has proved
that CERTAIN-TEED will out last the period of guarantee.'
The General makes one third of all the rolls of roofing made
in America. Because of this enormous production, and the
economies due to cheap power, modern machinery and
favorably located mills, the General is able to make the best
roofing at the lowest cost
CERTAIN-TEED is made in
rolls; also in slate-surfaced shingles.
There is a type of CERTAIN
TEED for every kind of building,
with flat or pitched roofs, from the
largest sky-scraper, to the smallest
residence or out-building. -
CERTAIN-TEED is sold by re
sponsible dealers all over the world,
at reasonable prices. Investigate it
before you decide on any type of
roof. . . - .
