WOODEN RAILWAYS. The Montreal Gazette
introduces and recommends letter descriptive
Of awooden railway now in operation in North,
ern New York, expressing the opinion that a
similar experiment will be- tried in Canada -
The letter says:
The railway is empbatcally a wooden rail
wav. The rail s.ot maple, twelve feet long
and seven inches by four and half in diamen-
sions. The substructure is substantially built
in the usual way, except that. owing to the ma
ture of the country, trestle work is very largely
used The ties are round undressed logs, and
are bedded into the road bed, or built into the
trestle work The rails lie in inches in the ties,
and are fastened by wooden wedges The
wheels of the locomotive and cars (both of
which are much lighter than on ordinary roads,
are fanged. The country through which the
road is carried is so difficult that an iron road
was an impossibity, except at an expense SO
enormous as to preclude its construction. The
rocky ridges, deep ravines, and tortuous streams
one of which last the railway crosses over tres
tie work no less than eleven times in mile.
The grades are necessarily very severe, and
the curvatures very sharp, as may be readily
understood from the character Of the country
and the fact that the railway ascends 1902
feet in % miles, the maximum grades being
800 feet The road is "a miles long, and reach
es from the Ogdensburgh railway to the Clifton
Iron beds. Already the enterprise is introdu-
cling it's legitimate fruits, and traffic is being
created by it. Clifton village, three miles from
the Mines is rapidly growing, and Saw mills
are busily at work.
I regard this road as one that will be exten
sively copied in Canada. For the transport Of
lumber and other heavy freight; for the con-
veyance of passengers where moderate speed
will suffice, and expense puts an iron road out
Of the question, the wooden railway will be in
valuable. The road in question cost but 81 900,
American currency, mile, and was constructed
in seven months actual working time. In Or
dinary countries it could. of course, be built at
much less cost, and $4,000 per mile would
probably be fair estimate for an ordinary
wooden railroad.
The only question that remains is that Of du-
rability. Of the durability of the road itself
there can be no doubt and should the life of
the maple rail be even less than six years,
which Mr. Hurlbut estimates it at, yet the
cheapness of the rail and the facility with which
it can from time to time be replaced and renewed
are so great, that have no doubt, especially if
subjected to hardening process, that the ma
pie rail will make its way into general use ln
the class of localities indicated.

things received was superb tile from the

ought to be worth? ''That is an eight dollar

over again and again, and remarked that it was
very fine, very fne." The parson wended his
way to the halter store, the next day, and at
