Four more cars of coal were de
livered in town last evening from

fifth car was loaded and ready for
delivery at Tunnel No. 1.

front, below the foot of A street

piling will be filled in with riprap
and gravel.

J. M. Burrows, who arrived in

be able to make use of an old In

eliminating much work. The work
thus far has been much less difficult
than was anticipated and it is the
opinion of Mr. Burrows that the
trail will prove very popular with
the traveling public.

names of the contracting parties |

through the hardest period during
the past four years”.
