has finished his survey through this
canyon, and says that he can run
through on n less grade than the limit
given him by the company, and that
the route comes right down to the viii
lage of Canyonville. This will be
gratifying intelligence to the people
oi that enterprising little community.
And n much more direct route to CAL

The NeWpDOrt Fire.

An assessment of one and One-third
dollars upon the ethousand has been laid
by the Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance
Company Of Mill Creek Hundred to meet
the loss occasioned by the destruction of
Robert j. Lynam's barn by lightning
last week. All who come forward and
pay their taxes before the 18th day Of
June will have seven per nt.deducted
from the amount Of their tax. The col
lectors are John w. Day, Brandywine
Hundred; Howard E. Finn, Christiana
Hundred; Aquila Derrickson, Mill
Creek Hundred and James Springer,
White Clay Creek Hundred. The
amount of insurance for the barn and
contents was $21OO which is several
hundred dollars short of covering the
whole loss by fire.
