occasional inkling now and then
about the trolley line and it's pros

rejoiced some time back, and were
anxious to hear of dirt being broken
along the line somewhere. Now. just
yesterday, an enquiry as to the pro
babe cost of labor, tesme, cross ties,
g., from an expert and wealthy con-
tractor up north, made direct to US,
causes ctr expectant pulse to beat
louder aud stronger with hopes that
we may yet hear either the whistle
of coal burner or the ring of the
trolley gong. Nevertheless, our ''cuss.
ing" man Of the Office says cit will be
a d-n long time before we see an
other railroad this way" We trust
that his judgment may prove bad,
and that the survey was not made for
speculative purposes and the realities
of the road may not be far out ct
sight. Wait little and see.
