The Allyn Times saws: There are
strong indications that the Port Town
send Southern Railroad will be built
through Allyn. Tue newspapers have
stated that the road was 10 run on the
west side Of Hoods G nal, but parties
who know the lay of the country sag
that the road will never be built there
The country is extremely rough, and the
hills in the vicinity of Union City, where
the road would leave the Canal, are so
abrupt and high that it would be next to
impossible to build through them at any
cost. On the east side of the canal, from
Seabeck to Shelton, there is continuous
and almost airline of streams along
which a road can be built at small ex-
pense and with easy grades. The dis
lance also is considerable shorter than By
way of Union City. The latter part of
last week party OF surveyors stopped
in Allyn over night who had been over
the route from Seabeck to this place and
were on their way southwest to look
over the balance of the line. They would
say nothing as to their business, but Mr..
John n Eberhart learned from gentle
man who was with the party as guide
that they we're working in the interest of
the Port Townsend Southern road, and
that they were well pleased with the part
of the line they had been over. The gen.
tleman gave it as his opinion that the
road would be built over this route, and
advanced several substantial reasons for
his belief
The Port Townsend Southern will be
be built on the west Shore of Hoods Ca
nal, but the above is all right-thOugh for
another corporation. Ed.

Specie are out this week helping to b.
cate the county road between here and

been located. 1t will be great benefit
