The shore Railroad.

In conversation with a prominent
citizen of Alpena, who is on the inside
track in railroad matters, we were as
sured that the building of the shore rail-
road, known as the Alger road, is fully
determined upon, and work will be COM
menced thereon early in the spring, the
extraordinary demand for labor on the
Michigan railroads now i'm PROCESS, and
the necessity for the usual forces in
numbering operations, rendering it de-
sireablstO delay operations until that
time. On Thursday last we were shown
a letter from Gen. Alger, president of
the road, to a prominent business man
i'm Oscoda, in which the General says he
is able for the first time to state that ar
rangements have been perfected for the
building of standard gauge road the
entire length of the line; the track to be
laid with steel rails, and the equipment
to be first-clase throughout. Work on
the road will be commenced as early in
the spring as is practicable.-Bdy CITY
Call.
One of our citizens recently inter
viewed some of the prominent men inter
ested in building this shore road and
from Information received from them
gives it as his opinion that the road will
be built through to Cheboygan inside of
two years. should the country remain in
as prOsperOusa condition as it Is to-day.
We have no doubt, when the proper time
comes, that the citizens of Cheb0ygan
will give all necessary aid and encourage
ment towards bringing the road to this
point.
