THE OLD ERIE SURVEY.

Editor Citizen: THE announce
ment in the papers that the d., l.. &
w. r. r. was to shorten the distance
of their line and that the Erie was
contemplating changes to compete
recalls memories of a survey made
in 1868 for the Erie from Susque-
hanna to Hawley.
The corps was made up of p. R.
Van Frank, chief engineer, (who
came with the prestage of having
just completed the Iron Mountain
eler, Charles Brown, rodman, Lord
aXeman, for Jewelers., Marshal Wheel
er, topographer, Charles Avery, sur
veyor. Frank Penniman and Geo.
Wood, chainmen. Different parties
were employed as axe men in diff
ferent locations. l do not remember
the one who stayed until the end
of the survey except Lord.
The survey was made during the
spring and summers of 1868, from
May to August. A route was sur
veyed from the head waters of
Johnson Creek, down Johnson Greek
to the LackawaXen, thence down the
Lackawaxen by Aldenville, Promp-
ton, Honesdale, to Hawley, to con-
meet with the Hawley branch which
was then building. A return survey
was made by Honesdale and up the
| Dyberry by Tanners Falls, crossing
the head waters of the Dyberry and
Equinunk creeks, passing near Amos
o. Sherwood's and l-mile pond to
where Winwood now stands. Thence
| down the Shadagee and Starucce
creeks to Susquehanna, connecting
with the Erie at the west end of the
Starucca Viaduct where the Jefferson
branch now connects with the Erie.
So much for the route; the ad
vantages to be gained were the les
sening the grade and shortening the
distance between Susquehanna ant
Lackawaxen. AS the topographel
kept the notes of the survey, my
own notes being confined to changes
of direction in the line, l am unable
to give exact data, but / remember
that the grade was cut down more
than one-half between Susquehannt
and the Talman Summit near Win
wood, from that between Susquehan
ma and Gulf Summit on the Erie
While the distance was shortened
between Susquehanna and Lacka
waxen about thirty miles less thai
the present route.
The Honesdale Branch has beel
built and occupies part of the rout
between Honesdale and Hawle,
while the Jefferson Branch is on tn
survey; certainly, as far, as Brandts
Taking all this into consideration
would seem that it would pay to in
vestigate this route before going t
evry great expense to change tn
present route of the Erie.

At Smoky Greek.

Karg, Sinclair's crew foreman. came
running over to him from pile Of
merchandise that had been set off the
right OF way on the wagon road for
loot. That's the superintondcnt's car
coming, amt it, Murray" he cried,
looking across tho creek at the ap-
preaching train.
What Of it," returned Sinclair.
Why. we're just loading the team"
The incoming train, an engine with
way car. two fats. and the Bear
Dance derrick, slowed up at one end of
the wreck while Sinclair and his fore
ma. talked. Three men could be seen
getting out Of the way car-McCloud,
the superintendent, and Reed Young,
the Scotch roadmaster, and Bill Dan
cling. A gang Of trackmen filed slowly
out after them.
The leaders of tho party made their
way down the curve, and Sinclair. with
Karg, met them at the point. Nc
Cloud asked questions about the
wreck and the chances of getting the
track clear, and while they talked
Sinclair sent Karg to get the new
derrick into action. Sinclair then
asked McCloud to walk with him I'D
the track to see where the cars had
left the rail The two men showed IN
contrast as they stepped along the
ties. McCloud was not alone younger
and below Sincloir's height; his broad
Stetson hat flattened him somewhat.
His movement was deliberate beside

though burned by sun md wind. was
boyish, while Sinclairs was strongly
lined.
