In spesking Of the electric railway and
yoicing sentiment in favor of 1T" rail
in preference to fat rail, the Ashland
Telegram says;
cone of the most uncertain things in the
world is the route of proposed railroad.
Many towns who were absolutely sure
they would get road have been dissp-
pointed. fremont is fair example. She
was sure the Lshigh Valley road would
build to them and not stop at Blackwood
ard in consequence real estate value took a
jump to dizzy heights only to fall again
VIII the railroad stopped ut Black wood
breaker within two miles of her. 1t is
possible Ashland, like fremont will be
disappointed. Flirting with capital is
tckiish business, and one Of the things
capital always avoids is an act that will
unpopularizs their Investment, or an act
that may lead to litigation. If the road is
not built to Ashland we will have only our
selves to blame because the company only
asks of us the same reasonable conditions
that have been accepted by our sister
towns. The people want the road"

Grated by Lindeman 81 Co., OF st. Clair,
came out victorious on strike against

Mahanoy City, notwithstanding he is 73

The Ashland Record says: There has
been a great change in public sentiment re-
specting the Mahsnoy City, Shenandoah,
f Girardvi le and Ashland Electric Railway.
r Several weeks ago you could find many
t people who were incorporating in either
f attitude against the "T'' rail; and now, it il
hard TO find a citizen who is not willing tc
have the company lay the "I' rail. This
= change has been brought about by no of
a fort on the part of the company, but is due
t altogether to the investigation of some o.
r the citizens, the discussion of the virtues o
. the two rails, and sober second tn ought"
