Sprclal tn the Sornnton Tribune.
Tunkhannock, Dec. 21. This week's
Issue of the New Age has the follow
ing to say relative to the reported
widening of the gauge of the Montrose
branch of the Lehigh Valley :
"About sixty thousand ties of stand
ard length have been shipped In from
Canada recently and piled up in the
railroad yard here. Gangs of men have
been busy this week loading them upon
the cars and they nre taken up the
Montrose branch and scattered along
the line from Lake Carey northward.
"It Is said that when spring opans the
work of widening the gauge of the
road will hs begun and pushed rapl-Ily
through. This means n lot of work, for
cuts and Alls will have to be widened,
sharp curves straightened, and a gen
eral overhauling of the roadbed.
Whether any extension of the road be
yond Monttose is contemplated could
not be learned."
The project mentioned above has been
advanced a number of times by parties
Interested In the old Montrose road,
and some four or five years ago, when
the road was under the superlntend
ency of Asa P. Blakslee. a thlid rail
was laid as far as Lake Carey, and an
effort made to popularize the latter
place as a summer resort. If the Val
ley people mean to widen the gauge
clear through to Montrose, they must
have in view a connection at that place
with some point north or east, as the
traffic between here and Monti ose
would hardly pay the expense.

The Time Is Limited

Then the opening of gifts from dear,
friends will take place. If your present was
bought here it will represent quality aswell
as novelty. How much more acceptable such
a present will be. Whatever you buy here
will be found up to our usual standard. Most
novelties at this time of the year are "ve
neered." No such "stuff" can be found un
der the "Samter" roof, Poor qualities are
dear at any price, and retain no friendships
in business. With this fact in view we are
careful to only buy of the best importers and
manufacturers. This is one of the reasons
of our great success. See the Quality and
