During this per iod he has handled $500 separate orders for goods, just double the orders handled last year and for a n sume more than, triple that paid out during 1915. The big increase is due to the 'teginning of 'con- structicn at three diffec ent points and also 10 the fact that the road has advanced far enough SO that permanent material is needed.
