RAIL CONTRACT DELAYED
Xatron-KIamath Cut-Off Held rp by
Directors Meeting.
SPRINGFIELD. Or.. June 27. (Spe
cial.) Despite rumors of the last few
days that the Southern Pacific Rail
road Company has let the contract for
the remaining distance of 100 miles on
the Natron-Klamath Falls extension.
L. R. Wattls. of the Utah Construction
Company, declares that no contract has
been let.
It Is not likely that contracts for the
completion of the Natron-Klamath cut
off have been let. as the appropriation
for the work will not be made until
the directors of the Southern Pacific
meet next week.
With the close of the present fiscal
year on Friday the work now con

to let contracts ror tne remaining
miles st once. J. P. O'Brien, general
manages, and George W. Boschke. chief
engineer, have gone to Chicago to at
tend the directors" meeting.
Because Erlckson & Peterson and the
T;tah Construction Company, who have
done the work on the present contracts,
are on the ground with their men and
machinery, it Is probable that they can
do the work for the remaining por
tion at a price sufficiently lower than
other prospective bidders.
