That Construction Will

Before
With the laying of! ol men by the
railroads throughout the country the
natural Inquiry arises, will the same
policy Ire followed in regard to the Cali­
fornia Northeastern? A careful inquiry
has been made by the Republican, and
from reliable sources of information
comes the statement that work on this
line will Ire pushed with unusual vigor.
As soon as the lull came the contractors
instructed the employment agencies in
Han Francisco and Portland to send
them every man they could (Ind. and
the result Ims Iwen that the largest
force employe«! since the commence
meat of cen.t uc' oi is now rush­
ing the work around Mt. Hebron. At
the present time the contractors have
all the men theY want, but plans are on
foot tv extend operations and thus
create work for larger forces. This will
result in the completion ol the line to
thia city al an earlier date than was
heretofore rfoemed |Hw«itil*. None ol
the officials, however, will make any
prediction as to when the line will reach
thia city. One gentleman high in au­
thority said:
“No one was more positive than I Hint
the railroad would I m - in Klamath Falla

vented such a possibility. Ever sines
the work was begun on the California
Northeastern it has been followed by a
eeri« • ol difficulties, duel ul which was

the point where I will not slate when I
think the road will lie completed until I

erything points to an earlier comi-tetion

but condition* change so rapidly that
we must wait and see bow the cat is go­

This sums up lb* situation concisely.
Those at the bead are all hopeful, but
none will venture a |>oaiUve predic.lom
The work la-tween Bray and Mt Hebron
is progressing very rapidly, and it is
now quite certain thnt trains will reach
that place la-fore the lira! id the year.
In Hie town the Weed Lum tier com pain
have made l>eavy investments. Already
it haa large lumla-r sheds and aware-
house. it has purchased the lintel ami
large additions to it are now laring
built. J. F. Maguire has opened up a
large general merchandise store and the
trade from the surrounding country ia
being diverted to that point. The town
ol Macdoel, where the Dunkards make
their headquarters, is showing sign ot
development, and that point will lie of
a material help in supplying Hie de­
mand of tlx- contiguous territory. Dor­

Whether this is due to the thonusgli

to guese, but one thing ia certain, that
Dorris is going to make a hard tight for
the business of the surrounding coun­
try, and if it does not gel it it will txd
be through lack of energy and hustle.
Midland seems to have dropped out of

the lull before the storm, for it is the
