THE WEDDING OF THE RAILS “HAVE ye seen the grand tie that them Californy people are givin’ toward the big doin’s tomorrow?” Paddy Miles put the query to Terry, in the U. P. construction camp on the border of the Salt Lake near Blue Creek. The weather of the past few days had turned raw, blustery and rainy. Both the U. P. and the C. P. camps had been moved from the high windy plateau down to lower ground. Now they were out of sight of each other.
