P. & S. EXTENSION.
President BurIeigh's Addition to His
Railroad.
II Will Be Mainly Used Tor numbering PR
poses.

A Houlton dispatch to the Bangor
Commercial says that Hon. A. a. Bur
leigh, president of the b. & A., informs
that paper that work on the extension
of the Patten & Sherman Railroad,
which is owned by him, will be vigor-
ously pushed forward next spring. He
now has employed about 100 men who
are filling in deep ravine near Patten.
The road-bed from Patten station to
the stream, Mr.. Burleigh reports COM
pleted and ready for the rails. Harry
r. Burleigh. purchasing agent OF the
=. & S. road, will start for New York,
next week, where he will contract for
all the steel which will be needed on
the extension.
Mr. Burleigh has in his office a small
stack of letters from managers of diff
ferent pulp concerns who are anxious
to establish mills in the new section
which will be opened up by the extern
sion of the p. & S. Road. The road
will not only be of great benefit to the
numbering interests of the State, but
will also open up a new paradise for
sportsmen. The road penetrateS into
the very heart of game land regions,
which are now very difficult to get into.
In addition to this there are a number
of exceptionally fine lakes and streams
wherein the festive trout and togue
abound The terminus of this road
will be very near to the head of Shin
pond. which is the fishing resort for
HouIton fishermen.
1t is not the intention of Mr.. BurleiSh
TO make the road for passenger traffic.
1t is designed mainly for the trans
porting of logs and the products of the
mills, which are sure to be established
throughout the forests through which
il runs. However. passengers who de-
sire to go into the section for hunting
purposes or for fishing will be trans
ported.
1t was the intention of the company
to have pushed the road through dur
ing the past season. but they were I'M
able to do so on account of the scarcity
of laborng men. That it will be start
ed and completed next season there Is
not the slightest doubt.
President Burleigh is now in the will
derncss with crew of experienced
woodsmen exploring the great region
lying between Patten and the Allegasf
river, and will be absent several weeks

it remained for the war to dispose of
it and thus open up the way for a
