No litilc speculation has again
been revived by reason of the pres
cncc in this locality OF surveying
parties, who are at work on the old
railway rightS-Of-way through and
around Walhalla. The first work Of
the surveyors is along the old route
leading through Yves, Union and to
The north Of Walhalla, which is be-
ing gone over thoroughly at pres
ent with a view to detailed report on
sam" 1t is stated also thai so soon
as that work is completed the old
line through Walhalla will be given
consideration. the surveyors to work
with an end in view to comparison
with the other route Then there
will be the probability Of third
route being considered. and one Of
the three will doubtless be decided
upOn as the most practical for the
Blue Ridge to reach the tunnel
IL has been stated. ON what seems
TO be good authority, that the line
is to be completed to the tunnel, and
that the object y going there is the
securing OF tn, great quantities Of
fine ballasting rock in the hills and
on the tract Of land owned in the
vicinity OF thc tunnel by the South
ern Railway. This may or may not
be correct.
Whatever may be the object of the
surveys that are being made now. it
is scarcely probable that the ulti-
mate end comes within the range Of
the foothills Of the mountains lust

be completed a short distance into

no lurther than thc tunnel itself at
prcScnt-and they may be made fur
