eetheI Railway contraet LED.

The very evasive and uncertain Bethel
Granite railway is apparently looming to
a head" without much question. At
least it has got as far as the letting of
the contract for construction. 1t was
announced last week that the contract
had been let to Ross & McRae of Strath-
roy, Ont. This firm is among the biggest
contracting firms in Canada. Ii has
lately finished some heavy work for the
Grand Trunk in double tracking its main
lines, IL has also done extensive work
for the Canadian Pacific at Kicking Horse
pass in the Selkirk range and has carried
through railroad contracts in Chile and
Brazil.
The contract let to Ross & McRae in
cludes the grading and rock work OF the
main track from Bethel station to the
quarries, about five miles. II does not
cover the culverts nor the sidings and ex-
tensions at the quarry, which will be
done by other contractors. Several parties
are bidding on the large stone culvert in
rear of the King place. Ross & McRae
Will begin work as soon as the ground
is free from frost. They are to finish
their part by July 1st coming, which
medns a big hustle. They will try to
employ local labor and supplies, as far as
they can economically.
The rails will be laid after grading by
the Central people. The road will present
many novel features. 1t is planned to use
road locomotives over the steep grades
and sharp curves. A full description OF
the road will be given soon in this paper.
An inspection was made Tuesday of
the proposed crossing OF the railway over
the public highway near +. B. South
worths. The party making the inspec-
tion consisted OF the board OF railroad
commissioners, Hon. HI. S. Bingham of
Bennington, Hon. George II. Howard OF
Craftsbury and Hon. Fuller c. Smith OF st.
Adams. The railway was represented by
Engineers Il. II. Ford and j. NJ Morrison
and Attorney &. w. Writers. Decision
was reserved as to the location, but it
seemed to be the opinion that the route
proposed hitherto by the railway engineers
might be varied somewhat by crossing
the road at point few rods west of the
line Of the railway survey.

Perry Orcutt has closed his labor as
driver of the Rochester stage and his place

cult is going TO drive a team for c. l..
Sanders. While making his last trip
Wednesday of last week, Mr.. circuit met
with a serious accident near the top OF the
mountain above the dwelling OF 5. w.
Bowen. Water had run in the road, leav-
ing a thin coat of ice on top, but under
mined, and while driving over this place
the ice broke, letting the team down quite
a distance. Mr.. circuit was thrown out
and the stage toppled over. He was rem
dered unconscious for several hours and
quite severely cut about the head.
Electrician +. II. Ketchum Of Randolph
has been conducting several very success
full thawing experiments with the aid of
electricity for the benefit OF the Bethel fire
department. At the alarm OF fire April list
at the Sargent store, water was turned on
IN the pipes and as the frost was still IN
the ground this water froze in the pipes,
making them useless for the time being.
This was not discovered at first, but when
the fire district officials ascertained the
situation il was determined to try TO use
the new electrical thawing scheme. Sat-
urday afternoon length of frozen pipe
four inches in diameter and about ten
rods long, reaching from Bethel Mills
south, was thawed in about three hours
work. An electric wire is attached at two
hydrants at each end Of the length de-
sired 10 be thawed, connection is made
with the electric light system and cur
rent OF l0i volts same as used in dwell
ings) Is turned on, passing through the
pipe as conductor. Iron not being a
good conductor OF electricity causes fric-
ton and this makes a heat which soon
warns the pipe and then thaws the ice.
Mr.. Ketchum rugged up a 200-light con-
verter to adjust the current for the task.
He thawed another length Tuesday in a
short time, freeing the large mains.
