R Vnahlor. manasrer of the
IV. r
Southern Pacific lines in Oregon,
and Resident Engineer Donald vis
ited Independence Wednesday.
Thev looked over tne prospect of
opening up a gravel bar in the
river oDDOsite Independence, view
ed the needs of improvement at the
S. P. station, the condition of the
company warehouses and the rail
road situation in these parts gener
ally. As to the gravel bar, the water is
vet too hish to ascertain the char
acter or quantity of gravel to be
had or to project the line out to the
river's edge though the Burvey has
been made. The probabilities are
the water will be low enough forj
track building within a month.
The indications are a big gravel
bed will be found at low water and
40u car-loads have been engaged to
the Falls City road.

Our Carpet Department is a
