ess.ry to apply to the Engineer of the

furnished Us plat OH which we trace
the route us given below:
The branch joins the main track OIL
the INV quarter of section 4, in Bigelow
Township, about three miles from the
Wortl.ington depot. Thence it runs
across the INV corner Of section S,
crosses into Worthlngton Township,
runs diagonally across tle-sw or of sec.

it crosses into Dew;.ld, cutting the lie
cor of sec. 80 and the sw corner of the
se qr Of sec. ., passes diagonally across
the sw or of 25 and the ne of 20, and
there turns and runs west across the
middle of the NV of 26, and the he and
nw OF -. Then it bears slightly north
ward across the II half of %, cuts the
ne corner of 20 and the sw corner of 20,
passes diagonally across the s half of

The above will not lie as interesting
reading us II novel to some of our yeaeh
t''s, but to others, many Of wloa are
away and have farms along the route,
it will be more interesting than work
of fiction.
There will be q siletrack and flag sta
tion III Dewald about theA,iddle of Sec
lion 10, near the Churchill place. There
will be q regular station near the line
between Olney and the town west, and
