Of Lost Timber, on Wednesday last. The
road from that point bears southwark to sec
ton %. in Pipestone county, about u miles
from the south line where a crossing of the

bears northward again, probably to Pipe

seems likely to be made q station by both

pretty definitely understood that they will
build through. Their grading is far in ad-
