to make any definite statement aa to when
the road will be built or whether it will
be built at all.

neer, Is favorable. Mr. Raymond was In

day that Mr. Raymond expected to have
bis report. ready to submit to the English
syndicate within a abort time and it would
then be determined whether the road Is to
be built or tha project abandoned.
Dr. Hansen intimated that It would be
at least a month and possibly six weeks
before his company woull be prepared to
make any definite statement.
