PROGRESS OF TIE SURVEYS.

PROGRESS OF TIE SURVEYS.
Yesterday morning we visited the off.
ces of the Company in the International
Bank building, where We were shown the
maps Of the surveys of the several routes
which routes are in progress Of
completion. The two large rooms in the
third story are occupied BY the several
engineers Of the company with their AS
sistants, under the general superintend-
ence Of Mr.. John F. Anderson, the Chief
Engineer. All are hard at work and
present busy scene. These surveys rep
resent, in all, AS miles of surveys of
country.
The Western Route, Of which Mr.. \.
Z. Mitchell is the engineer, embraces 40
miles of survey, and was the first map
examined BY us. All the surveys on this
route are mapped out in dotted lines. and
from these surveys the projected line most
attainable upon this route is denoted BY a
red line. These surveys DO not all denote
the direct line to Portland, as in some
cases it is not decided whether or not it
is advisable to join other lines. As, fer
instance, upon reaching Hiram Bridge, it
is undecided whether to join the middle
route, surveyed by Mr.. Noyes' party, or
continue along the course of the Saco.-
1t is also undecided whether they shall
join the other route ut Steep Falls, and
also which line will be pursued from
Humphreys Lodge in Bartlett to Steep
Falls. We observed q humber Of cross
lines on the map Indicating where lines Of
survey may be jsfaed, if desired. so that
advantage may be taken of every inch Of
survey which is feasible, and thus enable
the Directors to make such combinations
of the different routes as shall seem pro.
per to them and for the best interests Of
the company.
| The maps Of the middle route, survey
cd by Mr.. Noyes and party, and those Of
the Bridgton route, surveyed by Mr..
Stevenson aud party, all present the same
system Of dotted and cross lines for the
surveys. and red lines for the most at
tainable projected line. Mr.. Noyes' ar
ty have embraced 100 miles Of survey.
Lamoille newsdealer. [volume] (Hyde Park, Vt.) 1860-1877, 1869-06-08

We noticed that part of their line OF
survey between Starks Hill, in Fryeburg,
and Portland plays about" an air line.
The difficult spot in Mr.. Noyes' route is
Bear Ridge in Denmark.
The difficulties of this spot can be sur
moun,ed BY elongating the line of survey
a mile and half and passing round on
either side of the Ridge. on the side by
Denmark Corner. or on the other side by
Hatch's Corner in Hiram, near Hiram
Bridge, and even with this expense the
cost of constructing the road would be
below the cost of New England roads on
account Of tie few obstacles encoult red.
The same may be said of all three of the
routes.
The engineers state that they find it
easier to locate a road among mountains
than along a seaboard, strange as it may
seem.
The scenery along Scbago Lake, and,
in fact, all along this route, is superb,
and would be great attraction in summer
travel.
The Bridgton route, which Mr.. Steven
son has in charge, embraces l25 miles of
survey. 1t is the longest Of the three
proposed routes BY some few miles, but
is a perfectly feasible one, and calls for
careful attention on account of the great
amount of business that passes to and
from the large town of Bridgton, and the
number OF manufacturing towns On this
route.
La addition to the above, Mr.. Bonnell
has surveyed sixty miles in three lines,
connecting with the several routes from
Portland. But it must be borne in mind
that no route has get been decided upon.
After this mapping is finished, quanti-
ties of excavation and embankmcnt have
to be taken out upon elevations taken at
every hundred feet, besides culyert aud
bridge masonry, together with the super
structure of the bridges and of the roads
and prices applied, so that the several
routes may each, as an entirety, be made
numerators of a common dencminator, so
that they can be compared.
Our people can rest assured that every
thing is being done with the greatest pos
sible speed consistent with accuracy by
the engineers, to enable the directors to
decide upon the location of the road at
the earliest possible day.
And when we think of what has already
been accomplished by the surveying par
ties during the most inclement season Of
the year, and during one of the most sc.
we're winters, as far as regards the block
ing of the different rolds with immense
masses snow, ever known in this latitude,
we think they are deserving OF great
credit.

Mr.. Dewey, from the Committee on
Rules, made report, which was adopt
ell, recommending the adoption of general
parliamentary rules, and providing for
the appointment of the following commit
tees.
A committee of three, to inquire whe-
ther the Constitution has been preserved
inyiOlate during the last septenary to be
denominated the committee on the Poe
ers Of The Constitution.
4 committee ct three, whose duty it
shall be to inquire whether the legislative
branch of the government has performed
its duties as CARDIAC of the people, and
has assumed to Itself or exercised other
or greater powers than are conferred up
on it by the Constitution, and particular
ly whether the laws have been duly ex-
ecutcd which committee shall be called
the lie jislatire Committee
\ committee Of three, whose duty it
shall be to inqu'rc whether the executive
department of the government has per-
formed its duties as guardian OF the peO-
pie, or has assumed or exercised other or
greater powers than the Constitution con-
fers upon it to be called the Executire
Committee.

that we had no such difficulties to over
come a. we're encountered on some Sec
tons of that road. So that the average
cost of the construction of this road will
be much less than the average cost OF that
road. Experienced engineers ike Messrs.
Lindsey and Hale are able to form tOl-
erably accurate judgment, BY very cur
s1ry survey of route, as to the difheul-
ties likely, or probable to be enumerated.
In their Judgment the whole route is a
rery feasible one; and as faf as their OBJ
servations had been tested by the expert
ence of the actual survey up to the time
we visited the party, the results were
more favorable than their statements. 1t
was on this very part of the route just
passed over by them that any serious Diff
6culty was an,icipated-that actual survey
has disipated this. From Sheldon Greek
to Cambridge, or the LamOille, the road
will be almos. entirely a surface road
The only difficulty arises from the sinuos-
tiles of the :. creek" This in many In
stances viii be turned. Some estimate
can be formed of the ease of the grade
from Sheldon, up the Lazy Greek to the
Lamoille, when We say that We were in-
formed that the dam across the creek at
the village, sets the water back for near
" six miles. The dam is not of eItror-
binary hight.
Such is the encouraging state OF facts
we are able to report from present iutor
nation, derived, not from our Imagination,
but from actual witt to the ground, and
by conversation With the engineer, Dir.
Hale, who is reported to be a man Of
great candor and sterling honesty, and
whose appearance certainly endorses this
reputation.
We neither mean to deceive the pub
lie in this business, nor ourself, and we
shall at all times take the trouble to get
the best and most reliable attainable H.
formation and from time to time commu-
nicate it. In this connection We desire to
call the attention of our readers to an ar
ticle given below, taken from the
Portland Daily Press, giving report of
the progress on the eastern end of the
road.
We must draw this article to q close.
As it was past noon when we left the
party in the fed, MesSrs Weed and
SAKE insisted that we should go and dine
with pair of maiden sisters who kept
hotel at Highgate Falls, whom they said
we're spunky railroad women, and would
give us an excellent dinner The Misses
Stienhour more than redeemed the pledge
of their friends. We have not partaken
of better cooked nor better served din
ner in a long while; and the house was
neat as wax, showing that ladies can keep
a hotel. Returning from Highgate, we
took the south side Of the Missisquoi,
giving call at the Sheldon Spring-Dr.
S. s. Fitch's establishment-and were
able to start for home about t o'clock p
VI. Coming over the mountain from Ba-
kersfeld, we quatfed at the Green Noun
tain Spring, and supped at Capt. McFar-
lands hospitable inn, and ARRIVED home
about midnight, with President Brigham,
very tired. Some things We SAY and OBJ
served on our trip We propose to tell in an-
ether article.

We had very barrow escape from
frost on Sunday night Before we retired
at the usual hour, we examined our Their
mometer, AMI found only about 6 degrees
between it and the dreaded king, so that
when we found no frost in the morning,
our surprise and delight were about cqaal.
~ the snow has quite disappeared from
the hills, we may now hope to escape
frosts this season. We are told that there
was slight touch in some places, bat not
enough to do any damage.
