Spite of Cold Weather

The steamers Nirvana and Lillian and
the launch Fudge, which were used all
summer in the construction of the Rut-

shovel is still at work near Porter's Point.
The contractors are preparing to riprap
the bank of the road where il crosses from
one point to the other This process con-
sists of sinking large stones along the
cnba nkment to prevent the bank being
washed away by water. About mile of
embankment remains to be finished be-
tween Porter's and Aliens points. The
water from Aliens Point out Is very shall
low and ranges from four to six ieet In
depth, From Porter's Point out there is
scarcely more than a swamp. The water
there is from two or six inches deet. At
one place, about three-fourths of a mile
out from Aliens Point. the water is near
ly nine feet in depth. Here a draw bridge
will be erected
Work on other sections of the road Is
cold, which Is said to be terrible to bear
Standard gauge track has been put in at
some places along the line, but most of
the roadbed is covered with the narrow
gauge, In the latter instance, one rail is
put in its permanent position and the 9TH
err placed four feet to one side. To make
the track standard gauge, the temporary
rail is moved to the proper distance. All
sand used in the construction of the em-
bankments is taken from Aliens Point.
