“ M r. Hood has been held up
with his right-of-way in two
points there,” continued the
greet railroad head, “ but it is all
straightened out now, and the
work w ill go rig n t ahead. The
construction o f this line is the
only large railroad work in pro-
is on the Pacific coast
I find this railroad extremely
well constructed. I t is built for
keeps—all o f steel and concrete.
I t is to be a real railroad.”
M r. Hood also expressed satis­
faction w ith the construction o f
the road.
“ O f course it is a good railroad
we built i t ” he exclaimed w ith
a twinkle.
M r. K ruttschnitt said, “ This
extention which M r. Hood is

“ A t the present tim e there are
