James will be president, and which can put up enough money to hurry the road to completion. “It wos’rtimorcd that Mr. Thompson and others originally interested had sold out entirety at big profit, but this could not be verified, as all of the par ties refused absolutely to talk, farther than to request the complete suppres sion of the news Most people feel, however, that both the new and old companies will join together in build- in-- the line.
