The st. Paul & Manitoba company will build
this year not less than two hundred miles of
| new roads, and if the season for railroad build
| ing extends near to the last month of the year,
may build considerably more. One new branch
| on which work mas been begun, will RIM from
| Carlisle, station nine miles west of Fergus
Falls, up the Pelican river about twenty miles,
to P, lcan Rapids, in Otter Tail county. In
| about q week the contractors
will begin work on the extension of the
road on the west side of Red River, from
Grand Forks north to the boundary line. A
| heavy force is at work on The extension of the
| Breckenridge branch from Durbin northward
The Osseo branch is about one-third graded
to Clearwater, and track-laying will be begun
| in about week. The Minnetonka branch,
| graded last year, is being ironed, about mile
| and half of track having been laid up to yes
terday noon, and this little excursion road
will be ready for use before the lake season is
| fairly open. The Pelican Valley road and the
Breckenridge branch are spurs of and not for
the Northern Pacific, which in turn is making
ready to spur the st. P. & M. with It's Wadena
| and Fergus Falls branch.
