"There's a surface," cried Parker, in joyous soliloquy, "that will enable the Swogon to haul as much as a P. K. & R. mogul! Jack Frost is certainly a great engineer." He at once put a crew at work getting out more saplings for sleds. In two more trips, with his extra "cars" and with that glassy surface, he believed that every ounce of railroad material could be "yarded" at the Po-quette Carry.
Parker glanced at the crudely drawn agreement. It bound him as agent for his principals to withdraw all material from the Po-quette Carry, and abandon his railroad undertaking. It furthermore promised that he would make no complaint on account of damages to property or himself admitting that he had been guilty of trespass. Parker indignantly held the paper toward the colonel.
In the course of its reports the newspaper stated that the "Po-quette Carry Railway Company," a corporation organized under the general law, had brought before the railroad commissioners a petition for their approval of the project, and that a day was appointed for a hearing. "The city men had the sand, after all," was his admiring comment.
At dark on the day of the "launching" Parker gazed off across the level of the lake, and said to his men: "To-morrow, boys, the Spinnaker Lake Air-Line Railroad will run its first train to Po-quette Carry. No freight this time. I want to lay out my landing up there. So all aboard at nine o'clock.
