combinations arc developing them

the rumor that the control of the
Bay City g. Midland Road has pass
ed into the hands of the Michigan
Southern who will speedily iron
the track as portion of line now
constructed to Lansing, which is to
be diverted from its original course
so as to strike Midland in place of
Farwell. The Ii. C. & NJ. Road
brings the Southern to water COM
munication at this point, thence to
run north, parallel with the j., l..
u s. to Granton; thence keeping
the Bay Shore to Tawas, Alpena

for hemlock extract business, as
