Since that time until now there ha? been much specu­ lation as to what company was backing the project, and when building opera­ tions would commence. Mr. Burton says that It is the Wisconsin Central that is pushing the scheme, although another company will build tbe road. When completed an equal number ol shares In the Central would be trans­ ferred for stock la the Geneva line, giving tbe Central control. Mr. Bur- tou said the line would be built, but not as soon as expected last spring, when matters were fixed ready for the bids of contraotors, but that It will not be long before a gang of men will be set to grading, as tbe^ preliminary sur­ veys have ail been made. It Is the in­ tention of the Central to spur ofi from Autiocb, or near there, on their pres­ ent main line, to Geneva, thence up to Pertage by the new route, connecting there with their southern division.

The following fgcros will wo think, surprise as well as Interest many of our readen: In 1806, according to the report of the United States Internal Revenue Department, there were 868 tobacco factories la the United States. These 966 factories manufactured 191892,240 pounds Of shewing and smoking tobac­ co andssnuffs, on Oach pound of which a tax of 8 coots was paid to the United States government. Of this total tbe bouse or P. Lorlllard ft Co. alone man­ ufactured the enormous quantity of 27 892,280 pounds, about 14,000 tons or one-eevepth of what It took 966 fac­ tories to make. This tobacco was sold by 503.414 dealers, every one of wbom, with icwbely an exception, sold more or less^ef Lorillard's Climax Piog Tobac­ co, which is the acknowledged stand­ ard for goods or this class.
