Still further. Some time ago a survey of this very road was made by a Chinese, a graduate of Yale if Lam not mistaken. It seems to one who is not an engineer nor a railroad builder, that it might have been a better policy to have spent some time on the original survey which is extant, and which I am told is a very good survey and quite good enough for purposes of beginning the road. Why then could not this survey, which is obtainable, have been looked into first before sending another surveyor to do the work over again? It is also stated that those who are most vitally interested in the road up here have had nothing to do with the sending in of the engineer, and they did not know of his appointment until he arrived on the spot. It will be easily seen how he is being received when it is stated! that none of the gentry of the place have called on the gentleman, nor the officials, nor the members of the Chamber of Com-mere. Indeed I am told that these very men are the ones who are asking the pertinent questions as to why.this man is here at all.
Your correspondent had three callers two days ago who wished to consult about the railroad, They wished a letter of introduction to the engineer who is te survey the road.
