I a st. Paul correspondent Of the Alexan.
dria Poss writes y follow. CONCERNING the
Extsnsion Lines Of the First Division St.
Paul and Pacific r. R..
There ID railroad scheme brewing
here, which should it succeed, would not
only spoil our present, but to great ex-
tent our future prospects. Our branch
ana the Brainerd line are in one company,
and under one grant. Col. Crooks and
Dedraft have large amount due them for
grading, on both lines, with no hope Of
payment from the company or bondholders.
+. X. Dslano has large interest in the
line from St. Paul to St. Cloud. These
gentlemen, with others still behind the
sosnsa want the grant taken from the pres
sat company and divided into segments,
The Brainsrd branch one, from Glyndon
to St Vincent one, and from Melrose to
Glyndon the third. They want this
division made because they say, they can
md American parties to complete the
brainerd branch, and the Canadians are
ready to complete the line from St. Vim
cent to Glyndon. But no one is
ready to take the third segment-our
part Of the line. This scheme, a. your
readers can see, involves an outlet for the
Canadians from Manitoba to Glyndon,
thence by the N. P. R. r. to Brainerd, and
thence to st. Paul"
