springs eternal in the human breast"

Southern Pacific company aboard their
inspection motor car stopped here to
gook over the property and get an out-
line on what improvements could be
made and the best way to carry them
out, the same old'hope of a new station
house was Lrought to the minds of all.
It would seem,"too, thatthepros--
peel of a new building_is better at this
time than it has ever been befure and
that •other improvements in the local i
yards are to be carried out in the neat ~'I
future. Arrangements are being made
to connect with the city water supply
and install modern conveniences in the
station. It is announced, too, that Che
new aide track on which work was
commence in the Winter will be cam-
pleted as soon as the material can. be
laid down here and put in place.
The gentlemen also gave it out that
something regarding the removal ~ ~of
the station house from the position it
now holds In blocking pine street would
b2 undertaken within a short time and
that very ~like}y a new building would
be erected. It is the hope of all resi-
dents of the city and patrons of the
local station that we. may boon see
some material evideneo that the com-
p~ny'means to carry out its promises
in this respect.
