Transportation Co. for the 8. s.. w. W..
II. X. 1t IS 6-ton engine. is in good
condition. and Is intended for the upper
end Of the road. It will be used on
the old track. in transporting coal from
Rsnton to Steele's. and there it will
serve an excellent purpose. The old
track was laid with old worn-out iron,
aud Ia = rather careless manner. The
grade Isl quite uneven. the iron worn
and broken in places. and portions Of
the track are considerably out Of
gusge. Besides this, the trestle is no.
sufficiently strong to support heavy roll
ling stock. For this reason. ana te-
cause It IL not deemed advisable 10 Ion
ger delay the opening Of the road in or
der TO remedy the defects in the old
track. the small engine was purchased
to bs used on that portion OF the road.
Tie new locomotive will not run up the
track farther than Steele's place where
il will take the train. switched of by
the small engine, and bring it
to town. When the sudden arrival Of u
feet here raises demand for coal on
this end of the road, this latter arrange
ment will greatly facilitate the trans
portation. and enable the company 10
give their vessels the best possible dis
patch. While tho large locomotive is
coming and returning with . compile
meut Of coal cars. the small engine eau
make up another train and have it
ready on her return ut Steel's. Ycster-

purchased engine from the depot of the
Seat:ie company to the 3. l. w. W. r.

half the distance had been made The
engine was set on trucks. and put ia
tow Of six horse team. It will prob
ably be gotten down to the depot to-
day and put on the track.

Yesterday for the most part was cool

changes. At about 4 o'clock the sky

This Is supposed to be the h.rbinger OF

PREPARING FOR SEED IT,.

PREPARING FOR SEED TIXa Cap
tain Kyle. Of the schooner Juani.a,
which arrived here on Sunday with a
load of oats from the Stilaguami,h
informs Us that Learly all of the las.

tons for the approaching seed time. A
large amount Of land is being broken I'D
end he thinks the acreage in grain the
coming season will be one third, if not
one half greater than that of any pre-
vious year. A considerable portion of
the ground being ploughed for grain
this season, he says. il wild land jus.
being brought under cultivation and
on the other hand. much Of the
l.nd 10 grain last year has been
seeded down to grass. There
tore the hay as well As toe grain
crop will be much in excess of that of
previous years. The farmers generally,
he states. are inclined to regard the
raising of hsy Is more profitable than
that Of grain. aud after getting. their
land fully under cultivation from grain
raising, they seed it down to timothy.
This is always in good demand at very
remunerative rates. Most Of them.
however, are looking to the dairy bus
mess eventually as the most profitable.
and in the near future. our informant
thinks. u majority will be engaged in
that branch Of husbandry as a speciality,
and on large scale. Both the climate
and soil of that section is wonderfully
adapted to the growth Of grasses, and
for the production Of butter and cheese.
Il cannot be beat in the aggregate Of
It's natural sdvSntsges Pork raising is
another matter. our informant states, to
which the farmers there are turning
their attention. aud may Of them have
come TO believe that 1t would be more
profitable tn convert their grain into
pork ct home than to ship it.
