CONSTRUCTION WORK NEAR HUNTINGTON Work on the Seven Devils Lino 1 Be ing Resumed and Great Activity la Promised In That Section This Tear Plan Is to Extend Line Northward to Low is ton in Time. The Boise Capital News says of railroad building activity in the Snake river and Huntington district: Unusual activity g being manifested in railroad circles in Huntington and the Seven Devils mining district, ac cording to Information recleved by mining promoters In this city. It is announced that construction work has started on the Oregon Short Line branch out of Hunting to the Ox Bow tunnel and the Utah Construc tion company, which has charge of the work, started a large crew of men on the line this week. Another railroad extension which Is of Interest to mining men is that of the narrow gauge track from Council to Landore, the heart of the great min ing district north of this city. Pro moters are behind this project and ex pect to) have operations actively start ed during the coming summer. Mainland Brothers, prominent fi nanciers of Oskosh, Wis., are promot ing the Oregon Short Line extension and have put up a large amount of capital towards making the extension from Huntington to the Ox Bow. This road starts from the main line of the Oregon Railway & Navigation company at Huntington and follows the Snake river through a high and ruRged country to the Ox Bow. . It Is planned to extend It In time to Lewlston and other points In the northern part of the state, but .at the present time It wll only be continued to the point where the Ox Bow Is lo cated. Last fall JO miles of the road was constructed out of Huntington by the promoters, but the financial flur ry came on and operations were In definitely suspended. Now that the money market has again resumed Its normal channels work has been started to finish the balance of the road to the Bow, a dis tance of about 30 miles from the point to which the road has been built.

Pendleton Dru Co. ment campaign upon the Union Pa cific lines It was determined to cut straight across the horseshoe, the semi-circle of which traversed nearly 21 miles just after leaving Omaha., The new route furnishes an air line directly west from Omaha, cutting off nine miles of valley track and reduc ing the grade about 60 per cent. The I cutoff runs over the original survey I made by Engineer House as early as 1863. Some big cuts were made at I the time the right of way was secur ed, but the project was abandoned I in 1864. The cutoff traverses the old j Griffin farm, now part of South Oma iha, Neb. j The difficulties to be overcome in 'an engineering way was largely in the 'construction of the fills, some of j which are fully a mile long and more than a hundred feet deep. The soli Is a yellow loam character istic of that country, which washes and sinks without warning with the spring freshets. There are also some enor mous cuts In the construction of which the same difficulties had to be over come. It Is a great piece of engi neering pushed to completion.

It has taken nearly four years to complete the work, and the difficulties to be overcome were such that as late as a couple of years ago the engineers In charge seriously con sidered abandoning the project. The main object of the new line Is to reduce the distance, to make- a shorter line from coast to coast; to have the shortest line from the Mis souri to the Pacific to annihilate time and space, says an Omaha pa per.. The cutoff Is eleven and a half miles long, and reduces the mileage on the wain line nine miles, to say nothing of eliminating one of the most trou blesome stretches of the entire system. The new line Is one of the most ex pensive ever built In tKis country, costing $3,500,000 for the eleven and a half miles. When the Union Pacific, with gov ernment aid, sought a line out of Omaha, It followed the valleys In or der to avoid the serious grades and cuts Incident to a direct line between Omaha and the Platte valley. This line has been used ever since, or for over 40 years. In the general Improve- Elfie Fay to Marry. New York, May 22.
