important commercial point on lb.'
Han l;iver, which drains a verv fertile
valley well developed ngriciiltinelly.
Although this line is onlv iinii mil-'s in
length, iJ is regarded as an especially
valuable roule because il extends
through a rich level country ottering
lew engineering difficulties and so
fertile and populous that the railway
will doublless pay as soon as it is
put into operation. Aclnal construc

this line ia a short time, and it 'vill
