As reported In The Journal at that time, : the instructions to proceed were in evitable, as the line had been built too far to abandon It, and the completion of the track to Joseph wasonly a ques tion of a short time.

The 'route' is a difficult one for about half the distance from Elgin to Joseph. , It runs through a very rough, mountain ous region, subject to severe Storms of . rain. and snow in their seasons, and only . the most substantial construction work will hold. The road will be first-class construction, of the same character that Chief" Engineer Boschke has laid in the Lewlstoa-Klparia line, the : llwaco - tension, and numerous main " tine changes. About $1,000,000 has already been spent on the Elgin-Joseph branch, , and when completed it will have cost in, the neighborhood of 11.600.000, ' SOLDIER A VICTDI u r,, ' .
