The busiest man here is Chief Engineer En-gineer West, who lias general charge' of the new road, and he is doing all that he possibly can for the convenience conven-ience of shippers and passengers. The new town is about four miles southwest south-west of the first place decided on for the establishment of Sulphur station, which was thirty-one miles from Mil-ford. Mil-ford. No water could be secured there, and the terminus is now to be made at the new site. |
