CT. NORTHERN SURVEY.
Extension of the WaIhatla Branch to VT. Car
mel and Possibly Males Assured.

That the CT. Northern is getting
ready to push ahead its survey for an e
tension of the Walhalla branch, west
ward to the Mayo brickyard and thence
on to Wang. StilwelI. Mt. Carmel and
possibly as far a. Wales, during the
summer OF 1905, is getting to look like a
sure thing. Supr. Griffin, who has
charge of the preliminary work of ascer-
tanning the level OF grade, depths OF
coulies and rarines and possible river
crossings. spent nearly the whole OF last
week in securing data regarding these
conditions in Loan, Hope and Mt
Carmel townships. He was accompan-
led by H. \. Mayo and their travels
westward took them as far as Hannah.
Last Friday al the farm Of Jno. Hope
quite a number of the residents of that
neighborhood met Messrs Griffin and
Mayo and learned considerable as tc
| what the report of Supt. Griffin would
be on his return to the headquarters OF
the CT. Northern R'y in st. Paul. He
stated that the company has not from
the first contemplated merely building
a spur from Walhalla to the Mayo brick
yard, but intend traversing the northern
tier of townships in this county as fal
west as Wales, but nothing will be de
termined as to the exact route to be
taken until next spring. 1t is under
stood that their is a rise of 800 feet iron
the clay beds of the Mayo buck yards t.
Wang a distance of five miles, which vii
be one of the main obstacles to over
come. From thence west they expect t.
cross what is known as the Murphy cou
lie at the John Hope farm, and make
two crossings of the Little Pembln;
river in reaching the town Of Mt. Car
mel. The Murphy c%oulie, upon investl
cation by Supt. Griffin is found to hav'
a depth of 80 feet, but this is not llkel,
to deter them from following tie rout
as outlined, although two or thre
other lines coming up the hill have bee
investigated and reported on. 1t is ais
given out that the CT. Northern Wi
seek to obtain a free right of way as ia
as possible from the owners of Ian
along line where they decide to bull
their road. The probability Of havln
a railroad next summer is arousin
quite a general interest among farmer
of that neighborhood, who up to tn
present time have endured the hare
ships or being from fifteen to twent
miles from market.

The primary election law Of this state
provides an awkward and inefficient
method Of electing delegates to the
state convention. If the people of the
state are to be represented in that con-
vention, instead of the bosses of the
state they must devote some attention
to this law so that its methods will be
thoroughly understood. BY its opera
ton they will to some extent be handi-
capped, but if they are sufficiently in
earnest the handicap will have very
little effect. There are in every commu-
nifty men who would like to attend
state conventions for the sake Of fur
thering some little ambitions of their
own, men who have worked with and for
the machine in the past, and who will
do it again if given the opportunity.
These are the men who should be left
at home. There are other men, who
may possibly not be active politicians,
but who are real believers in clean gov
ernment, and who, in their past &C
tiyity, have been found fighting on that
side of the line. These are the men
whom the people need in the state con.
yention. And it will be as well to be
a little suspicious OF the deathbed re
pentances which the rising tide Of pub
lie opinion invariably brings about. X"
pentances are we'll enough, but Il little
sackcloth and ashes will do no harm,

1t is believed that some persons living

school board has therefore asked me to
investigate the matter.
The school law on this subject as
amended by the last legislative assem-
bly, is as follows:
"Any child of or between the ages OF
eight and fourteen years shall be sent to
school in each year during the entire
time the schools are. IN session, except
for certain reasons stated in the law
