Experts were employed to inspect the property some of us visited the lands SO there was no secret about it, and ou the other hand the local pa pers had much to say of 1t at the time.
 After looking into the matter carefully and at length we decided that the lands available would not yield profit on the railroad c5nstruc- ton and development. The plan was abandoned, the company dissolved, about half the sum invested paid back to each of us and our prospective con nection with the enterprise was ended.
