B and M R R to Begin Busy Grade Work
A large number of HK M camps west of town report the Burlington grade will start within a week or two. Two outfits moved into Manet last week for subcontracts and grading gear but were told to stay and await contracts between Powder River and Orin. Work is expected to progress rapidly this winter due to sandy soil and few grades to build, with engines and steam shovels soon heard and seen.
