Meeker, the prosecuting witness, and two of tho Colby boys, the opinion that the steam shovel that parties have been trying lo move to tho right of way on the I'. & E. would be at its destination by the time that the letter wns in print, but in that I was mistaken, as they have had an amount of trouble since nnd have progressed slowly. They only had eight steel rails when they started, nnd about the time they got opposite F. J. Ayres' residence, where they hnd to climb a steep hill, they broke two of the rails, that leaving them only six, and as they have to have two of them under the machine all the time, leaving only fonr to use, it necessitates going very Blowly, and having a very steep hill to climb, it takes longer than I expected. Lnst Tuesday I had tho pleasure of visiting our school, in tho princi- pal's room, at least. Professor Daley has proved to be tho right man in the right place. He had nt the time visited tho school 43 children in his room and 34 in his wife's room, for Mrs. Dnley is onr primary teacher. and Mr. Daley informed mo that if ho hnd room to tako them in there would he sir more come from out side of tho district.
