| A NARROW GAUGE railroad, reaching
down the peninsula from this place, is
being talked of. The cost of building

along the line ID build it. We doubt
|
scrib ed in a week to reach the above
sum and the work could be begun at
once, if only the right parties would
take the matter in hand. A narrow
gauge would be all that is necessary at
present, and when the Lake Shore road
see fit to extend their line they can pur-
chase and change the narrow gauge into
broad-gauge.-T5co Rivers Chronicle.
