Shonk on Franklin street, in Wilkes-Barre, and began to talk about. some valuable timber land and amber interests belonging to John Shonk, the father of George, at Ruggles postoffice, beyond Harvey's Toke. In the course of the conversa- tion Orr asserted that he teasible: route for a railroad from Valley Lake which could be built and equippgd for a very small sum comparatively $100,~ 00C¢ to $150,000, when built, wovld not’ only enhance Mr, Shohk’s iands, but wall others: along the line. This idea at first struck Mr. Shonk | but when he began to think of its cost, compared with his bank account at that particular day, the no- tion became ridiculous to him and he remarked to Mr. Orr that he could not talk about building a railroad, calling attention to his then small balance in the bank. “That makes no difference,” said Mr. Orr, “I have no more cash on land than you hawe, but I will take $5,000 in the road and will find some way to raise itr I want you to see your father tonight when you go home and talk it over with him.”. Mr. Shonk did as requested. Much to his sur- prise his father was not only much sitnate knew a Wyoming ° to Harvey's which, tavorably, interested, but agredd to take $25,000 of the stock and to get others to take Mr. Orr in the reaniime called Troxell, owner of a large body of land at Harvey's Lage. and Messrs. Tyman and “brothers and Joseph Shaver and others owning land at Dallas, and from each got only en- couragement but agreement to take come of the stock. With this assur- ance Mr. Orr began at once to secure right of way, to have surveys made and te make application for the char- ter.

Early spring of 1886, everything being readiness, and the organization comi- plete, the directors met and let the contract for grading to Mr. Orr. Hard- ly was the ink dry on his contract be- fore -one bright morning, May 30, 1886, Mr. Orr was at work with about, one hundred Hungarians grading this road as it now lies, beginning at a point near the old White mill dam in Lu- Mr. Orr continued his work with unabated zeal for nearly a | month, when the Lehigh Vallay Rail- | road, through Mr. Albert Lewis, see- ing the advantage of this road and its importance to a larger system, began negotiations, and within a few days purchased the franchise and all rights of the new company and proceeded to some. on Mr. in ne in finish it. built much better and more substan- than it probably would other- wise been.

Nor did he stop with mere discussion. One after another of his plans were per- enterpri ise, fected, his company organized and work was begun. In the year 1896 he’ had partly graded his line through the mountain gorge between Luzerne and Trucks- ville, when he came upon a landowner who refused to give or sel the rigiht to cross his land at any price. This suspended the work for a short time only. Mr. Reynolds soon took ou! a new charter under the generai 1ail- road law of Pennsylvania for a steam railroad under the name of the Wilkes-Barre and Northern Railroad, wlich gave him also the right of eminent domain, and thus broka down 21 lobstacles put in the way by iand- owners. From this time forward the new road progressed rapidly so that almost exactly within ten years from the entry of the first locomotive into {he village of Dallas in December, new road made its first entry in the vil- lage of Dallas. The road at this writ- ing is being extended to Harvey's Laka and it is expected before long to be conected with the electric trolley sys- tem at Wilkes-Barre, so that one cun ride in the electric cars from Public Lake without change. ‘While ever mindful of the needs and comforts of the living, Dallas was rot forgetful of the dead.
