Tbe Ssglnaw Enterprise lays thai at no time
in Iti history as a lumber producing region
hal tbe Saginaw country undertaken such
gigantic lumbering operations is contem
plated riuriug the, coming season, and the
name is true ol other pine producing regions
in tbe f.nte. The demand for lumber has

R.ULitOADiMi. Tbe order has been given
by the managers of the P. E. Ral Iroad to
complete a double truck between Warren and
Irvine forthwith. There ire several long
swilobes constructed now so the job. will no
be a long one. They will put on a hundred
men or more and complete the work by tbe
Bret of Jaouary. This is done in part to ac
commodate the D. W. & P. A. Allegheny
Valley roads. 1 When it Is done we under

Tbe oil business on Ibii route is getting so
heavy that a conlinuoui line Is found to be
necessary. .
A lively struggle Is going on between the
Pennsylvania Central. Lake Shore and D

Central, for tbe construction of a new line
from here to Titusville. Three different
gaugs of hands are grading and survey ing on
tbe 'other eud of tbe route and flgurlog for
tbe right uf way. The route is up tbe
Brukenstraw from Irvine to Garland, and
thence en tbe original survey to the Oil
Creek road to Titusville. The New York
interests desire to run to Oil City and thus
aecurirfg a Western connection through tb

posed by other high contracting parties so
that the contest will be lively and tbe long

A party of surveyors are engaged in lay
Ing out the new railroad route across tbe
Egbert, McCray and Boyd. It seem to be
tbe prevailing opinion tbat tbe Peonsyl
vania Petroleum Railroad is to be pushed
through to Oil City, connecting at that
point with the Franklin Division of tbe
Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railroad,
thereby giving tbe N. Y. Central or Van
derbilt railroad Intetett both an eastern and
western connection.
At present tbe grading is done from nesr
