contractors to furnish bonds to faithfully

New steel rails are being laid on the

railroad. Ninety pennd rails are being

worldwide celebrity. A postal card Just
received by. General Manager f. w. Cram

been complied with.
Tt is reported that the result of the
hearing hold at Calais before the Rail
road Commissioners, Interference to the
proposed change of route of the Washing
ton ounty Railroad, to what is known
as the upper route going through Char
lotte, thence to Pembroke, instead of as
originally intended along the shore
through Red Beach. Robbinston and to
Pembroke, will be decision in favor of
the proposed change, says the PASSPORT
Sentinel. The chief consideration in
making the change of the route, was that
the capitalists who were to furnish the
financial backing, strenuouly objected to
assuming the extra cost that would be
imposed by the building of the road along
the shore, when the lower cost of build
ing the road by the other route would
more than Offset any detriment that the
proposed change might bring to the
road as transportation line-or IN other
words, a change or no railroad at this
time. If it be true that the commissi on
ers do sustain the appeal of the officers
of the company, and allow the change to
be made, then the location of the road Is
definitely settled and nothing, barring
the lateness OF the season, will prevent
the carrying out of the plan as formulat-
ed last spring of having part of the road
in operation this fall But as the contract
stipulates that the road shall be complet-
ed in 1897, and as Mr.. Mitchell has given
bond of 500, 900 to that end, theregis no
reasonable doubt that Rthe terms Of the
contract will be fulfilled.
