Central Vermont Ry.—The extension of the Montréal and Province line branch from Farnham to Frelighsburg, Que., 18 miles, being constructed by the C.V.R., is nearly completed. The stations on the extension are Stanbridge North, Stanbridge East, Riceburg, and Frelighsburg. The country through which the extension passes is generally level. The Montréal and Province Ry. was originally chartered to build a line from St. Lambert,. Que., to the International boundary; a portion of the line was built and operated as an independent line about 25 years ago. The C.V.R. is now carrying on the construction work, and it is reported that it is the intention to complete the line to Sheddon Jct., on the Missisquoi Valley division.
It is said the C.V.R. Co. will erect an elevator with 1,500,000 bush. capacity at New London, Conn.
