RAILROAD TALK
On his return from a trip to New
York about a year ago, W. G. Tan
ner made the statement that it
ooked as though ‘‘Caldwell’s dream
of a railroad up the Salmon was
about to come true.” He was a
little bit premature, as time has
proven, but so was Caldwell when
he secured the permit to build the
road. However, one yea», and two
years, do not seem long, once they
have passed, and it now looks as
though we might invest both of
! these indominitable boosters with
the mantle of prophesy.
While Mr. Caldwell and Mr. Carl
son were here they diu not, natur
ally, ‘‘lay all their cards on the
table,” but they flashed enough to
show that they hold a winning
hand. Perhaps it was as much in
the way they said things as in the
things they 9aid, that makes the
project look tangible. It must be
remembered that the firm of Siems
& Carlson occupy a leading position j
in the railroad construction busi-j
inss, and the fast alone that Mr.
Carlson has taken a contract to
build this road is significant, to use
the mildest term obtainable.
CALDWELL’S OPTIMISM
Three years age Chas, F. Cald
well, in a newspaper interview, said
that the Premier was worth one
hundred million dollars. People
who read the story shook their
heads and said: “Poor Charlie
been knocking around the hills too
long—getting like the boys in Al
aska who see too many boats pull
out before they decide to leave, and
then they leave for Morningside,
oftentimes strapped down to their
berthes.*’
Now, the mention of a hundred
million in connection with the Pre
mier brings no scoffing rejoinder,
and in this issue of the Miner Mr. j
Caldwell expands his previous esti- i
mate, which is a generous thing to
j do, because in the next breath he'
|says that the Big Missouri will be;
a greater mine, and it would be a 1
pity to have the “Wonder Mine” i
eclipsed without first brightening !
up its halo a bit.
There are others here who share j
Mr. Caldwell’s belief, at least to a •
certain extent, without being so
outspoken in their expression. Ter
haps, as he says, the time has con e
to cast off this restraint and tel
the world what we privately Le
lieve. Perhaps it would be as well
to justify ourselves for the piot eer
hig done hers,' for the inconyeniem
: ces—if net hardships—that we have
endured with no commensurate re
compense and no excuse except
bur belief that the camp would
make good.
Blessed is he who does his share
of the snow shoveling.
