~ ING SCuome OF EItNsDurR fartteb Is
Put Through They Are Making
Surveys For Line Between
Canton and Alliance.
The Louisville Herald has the follow
ing interesting story: "Mr. George p
Williams, civil eDginer, and corps of as
sistants, came into Louisville Wednesday
evening and registered at the Lesh house
Last Monday the party began at Canton
to survey route for proposed electric
street railway between that city and AL
lance, and upon quitting work Wednes-
dsy evening they were within one mile
and a half Of Louisville.
From information gained from Mr.
Williams, the Herald is able to give the
following particulars: The work of sur
veying the route from Canton to Alliance
is being pushed by company of Pitts
burg capitalists whose purpose it is TO
construct street railway between the
above named towns, Co be known as the
Canton, Louisville & Alliancs Electric
Street Railway Company. The proposed
route Is from Tuscarawas street Canton
up Walnut street, and striking the
Louisville road the line runs down to
John Stoner's farm east of Louisville.
From this point il is tie purpose of the
company to run parallel with the Ft.
Wayne railroad to Maxine and then
again striking the roadway leading to
Union avenue, Alliance. The men are
also taking the names of the property
holders along whose lands the
line runs, and when the surveyors have
completed their work the right of way
men will follow TO obtain the required
permissln from the farmers. Mr.. Will
hAms stated that be had been put to
work hastily by Col. Roberts, Of Pitts
burg, consulting engineer of the com
pauy, and consequently could not say with
any degree of positiveness as to whether
the line would be constructed.
Other members of ths surveying party
expressed confidence that the project
would be fully carried out from the fact
that the company has all the necessary
capital and that it was thought the line
would be paying one.

Without raising the discussion as to
what la grippe may or may not be, at
least this much is certain, and admitted
by all that it will produce Catarrh if
not promptly and properly cured. 1t
leaves a person haggard, weak, sallow,
traZzled out, mucous membranes all
congestei, appetite changeable, diges
ton capriCious, and just about empties
life of all meaning or Instability. The
specific cause for la grippe may be a
microbe; no doubt it is. But the effects
of la grippe neel no discussion. People
understand that themselves. Expert.
ence may be hard and bitter teacher,
but the lessons learned in this school are
to the point and accurate. There is no
remedy in the world that meets the con.
ditions produced by la grippe better

and they rushed TO his assistance and
drew him from the water just in time to

the bank Of the stream and he was soon
