recollection.
Mr.. Busing is fully alive to the
great possibilities of the country
and assured us of his support.
Upon our return to Meade a
meeting of the club was called to
receive our report, the PROPOSE
ton was gone into at consider
able length, and it was decided
to enter into negotiations with
Mr.. Corp, looking to the estab-
lishment of the line.
We might occupy the entire
paper in telling the wonderful
resources which would be dia-
cent to such a road, the patron
age it would receive and the
great advantage it would work
to the country and towns touched
and then give but faint idea OF
the situation.
Beaver is thoroughly alive, is
doing a lot of building and with
a railroad would become busi.
ness center of great magnitude,
No town on earth has a better
territory tributary, and it is be-
ing developed rapidly.
Much enthusiasm was exhib'
tied both at Meade and Beaver
and if there is any chance to dc
it the road will be built.

Again the start Tor Beaver was

Again the start Tor Beaver was
made. Arriving there we found
a big bunch of boosters awaiting
us and a meeting was held in the
hall. Mr.. Corp made a talk as
to the feasibility of the plan, the
need for railroad facilities in
Beaver county and gave such in
formation as was demanded. A
mum Der of the Beaver gentlemen
made short talks as well as the
representatives of the Meade
Club.
At the close of the meeting we
were instructed to report to the
Club here that any meritorious
proposition we might present
would be supported to the full
extent of their ability, and that
we could count on their hearty
cooperation.
The people there expressed a
very kindly feeling for Meade
and they will take hold with a
will if we can get the proposition
in shape to show them it is a
bona-fde deal.
After a few minutes spent in
general discussion in which all
expressed hope that the deal
might be put through and the
two towns might work together
for the benefit of each, the start
was made on the return trip.
Arriving at Miles we were the
guests of H. A Busing aud fam
ily and a most delicious lunch
was served. The Busings have
way of making one feel at home
and the kindly interest and cour-
teous treatment accorded the
party will make the memory of
the short visit a very pleasant

For a long time there has ex-
listed a desire on the part of
the people of Meade and Beaver
counties to be connected by a
railroad, and at times there has
been strong talk of promoting a
road of some kind between Meade
and Beaver. Recently the adj
vantages of such road have
forced themselves upon the peo-
pie so strongly that the time for
action has arrived.
Chas. Dettinger was one of the
leading agitators of the PROPOSE
tion and interested w. Il. Grub os
in the deal, The first thing to
be considered was securing a
man who knew omething of the
work of projecting the line: 1t
occurred to Mr.. Grubbs that he
knew such a man in the person

Grubbs made trip to Hutchin-
son, consulted with Mr.. Corp

night, and Saturday morning a

over the proposition with him.
1t was decided to send a delega-

whether the people there would

chosen. Mr.. Grubbs took the
