been no complaint and the men are

satisfactorily. BY the end of this
week the postholes for the power line
will be completed, as we have three
crews working and the gaps are rapid

of carload a day This keeping the

main has arrived and is being laid.
Three engineers have the work in
hand and they are endeavOring to
rush the job through as fast as ma.
