To HARNESS MoNoCACY-In the Frederick
Netcs of Saturday last it is stated that rail
road company will be incorporated shortly
to build railroad from Frederick to EN-
mitsburg, via. Linganore, Liberty, Unionville
Woodsboro and Rocky Ridge. 1t is also
seriously stated that certain incorporators'
own water power ON the Monocacy, sufficient
to run three or four roads of the length of
the above. We have heard of this Niagarac
power before and while the maps of the U.
S. Government geodetic survey only show
few hundreds of feet fall in the stream
throughout its entire length it has been
proposed to get fifty to seventy five feet per
mile out of it. 1t is true that the geodetc
survey may be very imperfect as compared
with that that has been made by our local
people and the latter may be right: We do not
assume to know.
1t would seem, however, that there is a
strong sentiment iavoring road between
Frederick and Emmitsburg and one equally
strong to secure it via any other point than
Thurmont. 1t begins TO look like case of
Thurmoni against the balance OF the county
north of Frederick. Well, we have big
annie to bet that when Frederick and EN-.
mitsburg are connected by an electric railroad
it will be via Thurmont
Aud the Monocacy will not be damned to
to drive it.
