All freight ofiered will be handled, how ever, and by July 1 it is hoped to have a regular train running between Hills boro and Buxton, 20 miles. The road has been surfaced about seven miles, and as soon as it has been built beyond the divide gravel will be hauled in for balasting. Traffic will be light for a time, but after Bux ton is reached the officials will en deavor to maintain a service sufficient to move the produce and dairy ship ments offered for the Portland market. The character of the country beyond Banks is somewhat different from that east of that point and construction may be slower. Delays have been met with because of the inclement weather, but the prospects are that bet ter head wav will be made in the future. —Telegram 1906. and it will be seen without the natural fright and unnatural discomfort which j accompanied the witnessing of the ------------- | actual event. u, . . .
