   DeRuyter - At last we have the pleasure of announcing the cheering news that the cut on Crumb Hill is through; all that is now to be done is to slope the banks and even down the grade. Crumb Hill could not be graded. Only thirteen months of work and the grading is done. The engineers are now laying out work on the Truxton extension. Sage, Williams & Jerome are the contractors and of course our people are glad to have them engage this work, for we know that they are men of untiring energy. - Carl Von Schmidt
