The Duke comments IN this road a o

railway systsm. Il makes . most direct
cut for the Psoiao through . fertile re-
don. It ought to develop . large local

ton OF the East With the West. It should
be Q well-construetsd line. capable Of

The present roads might b very

annoying. Think Of four hours stand

You ask me what struck me- ~ the

Well, the interviewer. He was every

The Duke OF Sutherland also said:
