To Make Arm0ry Snug

The boys of the headquarters COM
pany, Seth infantry brigade, We're
busy Wednesday evening on the &C.
casion of their regular drill with a
job. illustrative of the variety of n
soldiers life. This was the work of
boarding up the cellar wall of their
armory, which has recently been
moved.
The chill blasts of winter will find
no way to enter that cellar when the
final board is put on AS it Is double
boarded and good job was made of
it. The boys had fine chance for
some fun as well as work there and
the live wire bunch certainly took
advantage of it.
A certain popular member of the
company was standing :or q moment
upon board directing the work of
the other boys and when he attempt
ed to leave it he found that for some
reason he could not lift one foot. An
examination brought out that some
one with n peculiar sense of humor
had spiked the wide leg Of this mans
overalls to the board. This drew a
laugh from everyone except the vic
tim.
This Is the way that The members
Of the company always work. They

new railroad will be leased if the
project is approved.
The details of the proposed plan
were discussed by Mr.. Gould. H. n.
Crandall, treasurer of the Quebec
Extension railway company terrified
regarding the estimates of -osts of
building the 112 miles If electric rail-
read as proposed. II IS estimated
that the road, constructed and with
it, rolling stock, will cost about s4,-
221, 900, while the roadhed and struc-
ture alone will cost about $3.6al. 900.
The rolling stock, which is estimated
at 100000, will include three so ton
electric locomotives and a number of
fiat cars and passenger cars.
The new railroad will have three
connections with other railroads:
With the Aroostook' Valley railroad
at Washburn: with the Bangor &
Aroostook railroad at Portage and
with the Quebec Central railroad at
the west boundary of the state.
Testimony was given yesterday by
number of forest engineers and
cumberland owners, who pointed out
that much of the proposed line is
through dense forests covered with
valuable timber, which now cannot
be favorably marketed on account Of
lack of transportation.
