PROGRESS OF THE VALLEY RAILWAY.

Valley Railway has just gone from Akron to Can.
ton on a tour Of inspection of the road bed be
tween here and Canton. He reports the heaviest
portion of the work as being between Akron and
Cleveland, and represents the road bed between
Akron and Canton as in good condition and re.
quiripg but comparatively little labor to put 1t in
shape for track laying. Mr.. Walsh has some six
hundred men employed on the road between
Cleveland and Akron, and about one hundred be.
tween Akron and Canton, at the northern end of
the division. He had expected to commence
work at Canton next Monday, but the engineers
have not been able to keep far enough in ad-
vance of the wcrkmen to render this practicable.
The grade stakes are set as far as UniOntown,
Stark county, and II no unfortunate hinderances
occur, track.layiDg will be commenced by the 1st
Of October, 1t being expected that the road can be
put in running order by the middle of October,
provided the iron can be furnished in sufficient
quantities.
Mr.. Walsh expects to commence operations on
the road bed near Canton week from next Mon
day, and working from that point northward
meet the force working southwark from Akron
