had to be abandoned. The company,
however, have decided to. start the peat
charcoal industry Immediately. Mr.:
Oswpld Rose, engineer Of the company,
in conjunction with Mr.. Byron, inventor
Of the process by which the peat is man
ufactured into charcoal, visited the place
recently, with a view to. makig prelim-
mary arrangements for starting the bus

In connection with this matter, it is
said, that. a meeting will shortly be held
in Drumkieran, with a. view Of promot-
ing the construction ola line of railway
from Arigna to Dromahair, via Creeva-
lea and Drnmkieran. AS in the case of
the Collooney scheme, via Riverstown,
the people OF the district appear to be
divided, some being In favor of giving a
limited guarantee, while many are OPP
posed to any guarantee whatever. If
the majority are of the latter way of
thinking neither line will be built, as the
government will advance. no loan with
