From what can be ascertained, there
Is ground TO make the statement that the
extension of the North East Penn. Rail
road from Harsvilc station to New Hope
will be made. We are not prepared 10
print details, but II now appears to be a
nnnoiinn xplathne sustl b..tl -
below the range Of hills known as the
buckingham and Solebury mountains.
The lower route Is said TO DO the shortest,
and the least expensive to build. 1t will
now depend on which route the most
money can be raised, and the friends OF
both routes are working hard. There are

tain, but II was argued that the Reading
Company had agreed to build the road on
the north side OF the mountain II $50, 900
and the right of way were secured that
no time had been set Ia which these con-
ditions were 10 be fulfilled, and that,
therefore, tho company should offer no
encouragement TO the enterprise as long
as there was snch an eager interest mani
tested.
Moreover, 1t was contended that stock
In the upper road woald pay better diy-
dends, and that finer country would be
opened up. Ex-Congressman Evans sent
word that people in the vicinity OF Hat
boro had raised 81, 600 for road on eth
or side OF the mountain. Squire Paxson,

son, Colonel Henry d. Paxson, were de-
putized TO confer with the Reading off,
