the Martin brick machine, at the yard of Olson
& Olson, last Thursday. II makes beautiful
quality Of brick-much better than we have
ever seen before in this country. Its capacity

better schooled In the art, they will be able to
make just as fine brick IS the celebrated MIL

The route ofthe side track was surveyed by
8 Kansas Pacific engineer last week, assisted
by L. o. Wight Of this city, and grading upon
the same has already been commenced Mr..
j. E. Harrison mas the grading contract. The
siding Is to be ready for ties within ten days.
We believe this track will eventually be OF con-
siderable benefit to Sslins. Manufactures and
shops seem to cling lovingly TO Fourth and
Fifth streets, and that portion OF the city
seems destined to be the home of busy indus
try II will be very convenient to the ship

stead Of being constructed for the convenience
Of few men, that side track may in time be
come an important affair. We expect the time
IS not far distant when all the lumber yards ,
will be located by the side OF the track as !
