lines were damaged by storms and floods, is

Mr.. Hair, General agent of the St. Paul &
Duluth road. has issued circular which will
be useful to all who wish to make trip on Lake
Superior. It gives the Duluth sailing days for
June and July of all the steamers plying on
Lake Superior, their destination and route, SO
that one can with its aid choose his day for
leaving here to visit any steamboat point on
either shore of the lake, or can plan round
trip, taking in both shores.
Little Falls d Dakota Railroad.
The directors of the Little Falls Dakota
railroad company met in this city yesterday
and amended their articles of incorporation
SO as to allow them to build and operate
line from Lake Superior to Little
Falls. They also let the contract fol
building part of their fine from Little Falls
to Morris, to @. De Graft, conditioned that the
contract shall be completed by Nov. 18th. 1882.
This gives time enough to cover contingencies
and accidents, but it is designed to prosecute
the work to completion at as early date as
possible. In fact, the work will be begun TO-
day at Little Falls, and, within few days, a
large force of laborers will be employed at
grading. The line will be from Little Falls by
way of Sank Center and Glenwood to Morris.
The northern and southern extensions of the
line will probably remain INDICATED for the
present, pending further developments of the
purposes of other companies.
The directors present at the meeting yester-
day, were: VIM. Crooks, VIM. P. Olough, Geo.
L. Becker and l.. E. Reed, of
st. Paul; Jonathan Simmons, of
Little Falls; E. P. Barnum. of Sank Centre;
J. G.. Whittemore of Glenwood; and r. Moore
of Morris. They start with fair subscription
to their capital stock and available bonds voted
in aid of eighty one miles of their road to the
amount of 1852 900. They have also assurances
of such aid from capitalists as they shall need
and are full of enterprise and faith in their
project. Unless Northern Pacific interests are
united with theirs they will seek another or
create an independent outlet to the lake. But
as their road will traverse a very rich country
and make direct line from the lake to south
ern Dakota, it is probable the Northern Pacific
folks and the Duluth people will take lively
interest in the new road
