Extra Gang es Greeks Is Laying Steel Rails.

Five bunk and boarding cars are on the sidetrack near the old depot location and a gang of Greek laborers employed at laying heavy steel rails for the Jtfonon railroad is quartered there. /The rails are now being laid inside* the corporation. There were eighteen Greeks here last week and several more are expected. It is said that their board is quite meager compared to that required by American laborers. They eat cheap cuts of meat, dry bread and spaghetti, with mighty new nicknacks. They will probably be here two or three weeks.
