this city Saturday. Mr.. Blodgett
found a perfectly feasible and not
very expensive route from Woodman
to Mt. Hope, the estimated cost to be
within the bounds of first estimates.
From Mt Hope through Patch Grove
to this city the route is perfectly
easy and natural proposition. j. Car
son Scott, our oldtime engineer, has
been going over the field and figures

his approval. Now our railroad COM
