That portion of the report of the Sec

furnished by the War Department to the

been generally supposed. The contribu-
tions by the Government were. of course

The Proposed Extension.
[Windom Reporter.]

1t now seems quite certain that the
Southern Minnesota railroad will be ex-
tended west from Winnebago city, the
present year. Just the course it will
run: we are not at present advised, but it
is altogether probable that it will con-
tinue straight west through Paramount,
Jackson, w orthington and Lu Verne to
Sioux Fails. Its extension on this line
the present year depends wholly upon
the aid granted by the people along the
route, but if the towns fail to vote a
bonus the road is not likely to be extend
ed this year, and when it is extended it
is understood that it will follow the
northern route.
