THE DELAWARE & EASTERN.

A Letter from the President of th i Road. Constrtucion Begins Soon.

Mr. Clarke A. Sanford, Editor CATSKIXIJ MotJNTAiN Nmws. Dear Sir: In regard to the proposed

railway through the valley of^the East Branch would say that we expeot to begin work as soon as the snow goes out of the valley, piovlding the Railroad Commission have given their consent by that time. The uixtter is now before them, the surveys having been made and maps on file In their office.

The success of the enterprise will depend largely on the attitude of the properly owners along tho line of the proposed road. We have determined to capitalize the railway company as low as It Is posalblo In order that the project will be a paying one, from the esti­mates we have made aud the statistics that we have gathered wo feel confident that there is enough business In tne valley not only to pay the Interest on the bonds that are Issued for tho coat of the road, but also from 6_toC.percent.cn the oaplral stock.

There Is no reason in our minds why the valley of the East Branch should not he as prosperous as the valley of the West Bianoh, the difference between them being represented by railroad facil­ities. . The East Branch valley is exactly the same kind of country as the West Branch. Tho railroad, however, has been there 135 yoars or more, and henoe the difference. Furthermore, with the railroad facilities, there should bo a big development In the valley of the EaBl Branch In the line of sumim.r boarders. There certainly can bo no moto pictur­esque valley found In the eastern part of the United States.

We desire the co-operation of tho peo­ple alone the line and waul, them to feel that their Interest lo our Interest. We realize fully that they have been fooled BO oltou with projective railroads that .they have begun to lose faith that any railroad will evor be built throuyrh this territory, but they can rest assured that when we begin fho construction It will bo pushed to a finish, for tho money Is In hand to complete tho enterprise before we beglu it, If, however, tho property owners are unreasonable und ask.exorbi­tant prloea for the rights of way, It will only tend to discourage us from begin­ning tho work,

Very truly yours, F. F. BMAUINCI,
