master Sullivan they went over the route
between Detroit and Independence Prairie
the first of the week. The eight miles of
grade east OF Idanha, built FIVE years ago
vas not so badly damaged by floods as re
rcrted. Ono bridge IN the grade mile
and n half east of Idanha has lost its
stringers. bat the bents still stand. The
grade is excellent. broad and straight. and
the estimate for its rehabilitation Is si0,-
600 or less. Several miles Of ldanLa ties
are laid all ready for the track. Mr. Mimic
is enthusiastic over the proposition, and
deems it entirely feasible. and says that
with $500 he can place the road from the
side up to the summit of the mountains in
so excellent d condition that one team csn
draw 1000 pounds up il. A pack train
from east Of the mountains was al the O +
terminus wheu the party reached there, and
there is mog- snent on footts establish a
mail route, NJ Rhieh residents across the
range can be accommodated with mail
service every two days instead of once a week

and pleasure seekers from the valley are al
ready out there and many more ere going.
Tmose SPgINGs.-The DEMocRAz has
published several items about the springs
at Sodaville. We are pleased 10 give the
facts as stated by the home paper, the Re
view: Those who informed the Times Of
the above facts evidently are better nc
quain,ed with SoiaYille than men who
have lived here By the spring for the past
twenty years. Ii is noticeable IN some peo-
pie that they can take in more in len min
ntes regarding anything Of this kind than
some people eau in tw-uty Year,. How
ever, we are informed by one of the latter
kind that the same spyIag Is in use now
that was when be came herr twenty years
ago The spring building Is m: l5x20
as stated by the above named gentlemen
but S0xs0 and is handsome structure /;
Is now Learly completed and since putting

the fresh water is shut out and this makes
the soda stronger than ever before. A.
for the water being little murky we will
say while they we're pntting down the con-
crete hoor they bailed the water cut 10 mix
the cement with and consequently this
made II little muddy for a shors time
during which period we suppose these
gentlemen were here. II each appropria-
tlon would cause the spring 10 tsa spoiled as
this one has. We say give 8s an appIopgla-
ton every day for ten years.
