bridges having been constructed for the
purpose. The telegraph poles are also be
ing delivered along the route. \ hand
some two-story stone and wood depot Will
shortly begin erection on the grounds Sc
lected by the company above the iron
spring. Lantry s. Sons have the contract.

material thus carried up as it is needed.
