Commission Again Soon.

The big steam road roller has been
rescued from Its helpless condition 10
the swamp on the west side of the
river and is now awaiting q few
repairs, when 1t will be put into CON-
mission again on the roads.
The roller was found much less
damaged THAI was expected. The
men in charge Of it are greatly pleased
to find 1t can DC repaired and ready to
put to work again at very small cost.
Mr.. Sheets is too ingenious to be
bluffed by little difficulties like q ten
ton roller upset over an embankment.
He went to work Monday with Auto
matte jacks, digged down to . solid
foundation 10 the swamp, and soon
had the heavy machine right side up
with care.
1t was found that the lever BY
which the driver reverses steam had
slipped of the fulcrum. That was
the reason Mr.. Chapman could not re-
verse the machine, and 1t ran away
with him and over the bank.

proposition a very liberal one. They
find the grade pretty steep by the
Keck route, but it may be selected
wholly. or in part nevertheless.
The Keener heirs have made What
the company considers q very fair
proposition for rights of way. This
can be used either in connection
with Mr.. keck's offer, or with Henry
Snyder's.

from them, and would not consider
any If they were made. When We

abandoned it definitely and finally.
We have three opportunities, now,
of securing a route, and will accept
one of them"
do you think the line will be
built to Granville this fallY' asked
the reporter.
I'VE have great hopes that it
will,' said Mr.. Sturgiss. The prop
ositions we now have before us are
very fair. II few other similar
concessions are made, we can and
