by air donald one of alie directors there is some doubt about the locating line from eastward over the range the grade is a little steeper than we care for he will this part of the line and see if it can bo changed at present it runs around sheppherd Sheep herd valley to the right of the south fork 0 ogden river should a better line than this be found it may take a month or two to locate it in the meantime there are about ten miles from here to the valley the line of which cannot be and several miles of which are cross sec tinned we will advertise for bids on these teu miles and possibly for a hundred between may ath and if the line aruca t alie summit is approved alie hundred miles from hero eastward will be let on the I 1 that the bidding will bo very heavy on end ly the first of june I 1 have every reason to believe eliat active work will ho resumed in the canyon it is not likely that we will do anything in wyoming owing to the difficulty of obtaining material though some arrangement
