RECONSTRUCTION OF VALLEY LINE TO BE PUSHED
 
A Crew Consisting 20 Cars and Big Number of Workmen Arrive to Rebuild Payette 
Valley Railroad
 
Since taking over the Payette Valley railroad the Oregon Short Line has been 
gradually improving the line.  But it was not realized to the extent this work 
was to be carried on until yesterday when 20 cars arrived with boarding 
equipment and a big number of workmen.
 
Eight of these cars are stationed here while 12 occupy Buckingham siding, a 
mile or so east of Fruitland.
 
For some time past the Eiffe siding, just west of town has been rapidly 
filling up with every imaginable kind of supplies and equipment to be used in 
the complete reconstruction of the road.  Among the material now arriving are 
the supplies to be used for the telegraph line.
 
There is now only the distance between Fruitland and New Plymouth to lay heavy 
steel when that part of the work will be finished up.  However, it is 
authoratively stated that general rebuilding will continue all along the line 
until the road is put in thorough  main line shape.  
 
Considerable changes have also been made at the depot in the way office 
fixtures, etc., until, under the supervision of Agent McDonald, it is rapidly 
assuming the appearance of a bustling city station.
