present will be limited but they well know that the people here are willing to put up with in order to be able to get in and out of the Sault at any time and with fixed regularity For the present a temporary depot is being erected about forty rods this side of the round house and this will be used until the Union depot is built In turn the inquisitive reporter quizzed each official that no news might escape Mr Watson the general answer to the question how is the road bed and has the work been ad as you expected replied that the work here is further advanced than he had anticip ated the turn table is ready for use and the water tank and well are far enough advanced so that California Lost The Canadian passenger propeller California left Chicago Saturday night at 10 oclock with a full
