EXTENSION or THE SOUTHERN lfI.v:
NESOTA RAILROAD.
Mr.. q. D. Brown, Chief Engineer of
the Southern Minnesota Railroad,
whom we met on the westward bound
passenger train OH Monday, informed
us he was then OH his way to Winnie
bago City for the purpose of surveying
the proposed line of the Southern Min
nesota from Winnebago to Worthing-
ton.
The survey will he attended with
many inconveniencies and llartlships ut
this season eff the year; but the duty
cannot we'll he avoided, rs the company
is obliged, we believe, to extend it's road
next season i'll order to sage it's land
grant.
II work should he commenced next
spring, as it probably vii! he, times will
become lively OH our western frontier,
and the country that has suffered so
many reyerses from gr..ssllOpper inva-
sion. will become newly attractive, and
If spared from the rav;lges of these pests
will soon take rank among the most
busy and wealthy portions OF the State.
The Southern Minnesota is destined to
he one of the best roads OF the State,
and it's Importance will at once be re-
vealed when it is extended.-Lanesboro
journal.
We copy the above as another item
showing that tbe Southern Minnesota
Company is in earnest and will push
the road through as r.pidly us possible.
We call especial attention to the last
paragraph. The Soutlcrn Minnesota
is already one of the Lest paying roads
in the State and it's Importance to us
rs straight cut and outlet to the great
lakes eau scarcely be exaggerated. If
work begins in the spring, there will
lie al abundance Of employment for all
who are willing to work in this and
otl4er of the new counties, and there
will he lively times, as the Journal says.
