Caldwell fears overpasses the Short Line project as talks center on a $48,000 bonus to lure the railroad south from Boise. Local boosters boast Caldwell will raise $48,000 to secure crossing rights and push a six to seven mile initial segment toward California, with work already underway and dirt favorable for rapid progress.

Caldwell Rapid Railroad Works Under Heavy Local Effort
In Caldwell a large railroad contract advances with W P Carter of Nampa directing the work. Bulldozing teams, rationed manpower, and cross surveys push toward completing two miles of grade to the Snake River for ties and rails by Wednesday night. Oil field development near Lander includes Henderson wells, Beebe lease drilling, and a planned pipeline to supply fuel to the railroad. Local and visiting investors, including F J Lobell of Chicago and Jos H Lobell of London, discuss refinery plans and further drilling while Casper and Detroit interests push expansion in the Lander area.
