Mr.. l. K. Stetson and Mr.. Edward Wy

Sunday to inspect the growing pier at Cape
Jellison, and the advancing road bed of the
railroad in which all are SO interested
Chief Engineer Burpee accompanied them
from the village to the Cape. The wharf is
to be extended 400 feet farther in a diagonal
line from the Leonard Staples shore, and
then carried 1000 feet toward Squaw
point, following the contour of the land,
yet leaving behind the structure a space for
convenient berths for small vessels. Four
tracks are to run upon the wharf, which,
from its solid construction and great size,
indicates the large volume of business ex-
pected on its completion. The work along
the road bed is daily progressing, the adj
vance crew on the Cape is working on
Bran's point and the workmen on this side
the mill bridge are eevating the road bed
several feet. The preparations for the
"Y" are going forward il the Panno field
and soon these sections will be united. In
the village the cut into the bank east of
Middle street has been widened and ex-
tended across the street, which has been
discontinued for the present at the lower

cut, twelve feet deep, running directly
through its former site. East of School
street laborers are steadily filling up the
depression toward 'the gullies,' at which
latter point either bridging or extensive
building up will be necessary. None can
realize without seeing the vast deal of work
required to fix the grade of railroad.
