Tho first llvo miles of grndlng work
has boon lot to Sub-contractor Gold

for tho last threo months, whoro 300

of roadbed from this city to tho enn
yon Is nn easy pleco of work, ns prac

learned that 130,000 cublo foot of
dirt will bo movod nt a cost of

As soon as the thlrtoon miles of

Anothor contemplated chango Is
tho moving of tho headquarters of
tho Utah Construction company from
this city to section 25, two miles
southwest of town, which hao been

This change Is necessary because of
tho crowded condition of tho camp
