In this issue appears an interview from
Mr Brown, who has just returned from
the east, where he has been for the past
three months, in the interest of the pro

the men who have been promoting it are
certainly to be congratulated upon their
perseverence. They have asked nothing
from anyone in this valley and have ex
pended no small sum of money in arrang

capitalists. We wish them success for
the benefits that the road will do this
valley also that they may be repaid for
the part they have taken in bringing it
about.
