Beaver Valley To Begin
Building Road By January

DR.. Kerns who has become we'll ac-
quainted with the people around here
rs the General Manager of the Beaver
Valley & Northwestern Railway drop
ped in on us last Friday evening out of
a clear sky and caused considerable
excitement by stating that he had
brought back the notes taken here last
winter with the intention of returning
them 10 their makers. He was very
much disappointed when he found
that the first number Of our lecture
course was to be given that night but
finally compromised by attending the
lecture and afterwards inviting every
one down to Norbury hall for a few
minutes, telling that he was going t.
give back the notes made last winter
in favor of the Beaver Valley & North
western Railway Co. or course this
announcement brought out practically
a full house and after a few explana-
tions on the part of Mr., Kerns and
Judge Blanchard who was with him,
some committees were appointed and
the notes returned al the gentlemen
said they had no further use for them
The gentlemen stated that they had
succeeded in getting the Metropolitan
Trust Company Of Chicago, to take
the bonds they are To- issuing upon
the stock Of the company and the only
money they need from outside sources
is the money necessary to print the
bonds and pay for the right of way.
This they have apportioned and told
us they would expect Hooker to put
up 81 ,O00.0 90 of this. They also made
the statement that Senator ]. 8. Nor
ris has guaranteed this amount for
Hooker and we are sure that the citi-
TENS of the town will see that Mr..
Morris will not have to stand for any
more than his share. In addition to
the money Hooker will have to furnish
the ground for the terminal and secure
the same amount of right .of-way that
it did before.
A committee was appointed to Sc
cure subscriptions to make up the
thousand dollars with the following
men assigned to it.: j. s. Morris, J.E
Booth and ]. J. Murray. ] R. Blake,
o. U. Armstrong and John Irwin were
appointed on a committee to secure
right-of-way. The notes belonging to
persons not present at the meeting
Friday night were given to G. e. Rose
to be delivered back to their makers.
So far as we can learn there has not
been much work done yet by these
committees but there is not the slight
est doubt that Hooker will come up
with her end all right IL the officials
mean business. The men at Beaver
City have been fighting for a road now
for a long time and they now think
they have secured the backing neces
cary to build the road. There is not
the slightest doubt as to the ability of
the Metropolitan Trust Company to
back the road il they are so minded
and the gentlemen state positively
that they had secured this backing.
DIR Kern stated that the Offices CT
the company would be established here
in the near future, possibly about
thirty days. This means that Presi-
dent j. w. Webb, Secretary @. II.
Holmes aud General Manager Dr.,
Kerns. will be located mere in the meas
future with possibly more OF the off,
GERS. This will bring more confidence
to the minds of the people here than
any action which has yet been taken
and we can positively assure the gen.
tlemen that mel they ave advanced
hat far with the work there will not
be the slightest trouble in securing all
that is required OF us for we have any
amount of business men here who will
support such an enterprise when they
know they are going to get it.-Hookel
