AGRlcULTURlSTS OF NEW JERSEY
BUILD 4 WAY TO MARKET.

How They Tried In Vain to Secure Con

tails of the Planning of the WOrk-How
1t Is Being Carried Out.
Especial COrrespondencel
MENDHAM, n. j., Jan. S-A great deal
has been written about the railroad the
farmers of New Jersey are building, and
the following is offered in response to
the general interest that has been mani
tested in the project.
For twenty-five years the farmers in
this immediate neighborhOOd, and for
that matter nearly Ill Of those who own
the land for twenty miles or SO to the
south and west of this village, have strug-
gled on from year to year in the hope
that either one or the other Of the great
trunk lines of railway traverslng the
state would build a branch railway
through here. The great railway mag
mates have from time 80 time encouraged
this hope by promises more or less def.
mite, and there is scarcely farm any
where about through which the engi.

east, and for long while IL seemed I'm
possible to get these men along the line
| between PcapaCk and Mendham. dis
| tanCc of six miles, to contribute to the
project, and some Of them even refused
to give the right Of way. Better coun'
| sells prevailed after while, however,
and some months ago the work was be-
gun on this section, and the grading has
very nearly been finished. When the
track shall have been laid they will have
nineteen miles of road instead of the
thirteen now in operation, which the
farmers will have built themselves and
which they will own and operate. The
next and last section is from Mendham
to MUrristown, where it will connect
with the Morris and Essex road, and
thus connect the two great systems OF
the New Jersey Central and the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western.
Morristown is rich community, and
it has a decided interest in seeing the
farmers get their road to that point, as
that will bring coal to that fashionable
borough, and the price will be reduced
at least 81 ton. AS Morristown burns
10000 tons Of coal a year the prop.rty
owners will Of course not delay rutting
up the needful when the opportunity ar
rives This chance will not be offered
to them TIL the shrill shrek of the loco
motive shall have sounded and echoed
through the Mendham hills, as Mr.. Mel
ick's experience ut the beginning Of his
work showed him the wisdom Of entirely
completing one section before beginning
another.
or course this road is not first class
one as to grades or construction, bat the
alignment is generally very good indeed;
aud if the business should ever require
that heavy trains should be hauled. the
grades could be made less steep by cut
ting here and filing there, ana such
work could be done without the inter
ruption of traffic The culverts have
usually been made of wood, and to the
professional railway builder they look
rough and almost inadequate. But they
have answered the purpose so far, and ii
is likely that they will continue to do so
until the road has means to make better
ments to its rcaabed. So far the road
has paid running expenses, and there
fore it does not seem improbable that in
the near future this new experiment in
railroading may prove profitable to its
builders merely W Il railroad. But they
have not built it for the direct profit
from the road itself. They have built
it because they have been hemmed in by |
the high hills from the outside world,
and the farms which made their fathers
and grandfathers rich and independent
were sources of outlay rather than in |
come to the present owners.
