The board of examiners have just finished
taking the levels for the purpose of settling
the question as to whether the Union depot
has settled. They have been at this work for
several weeks and have made a
careful and thorough examination
and find that the settling amounts zoo small q
matter to talk about, and is no more than
might be expected from the natural drying out
| of the brick and morter.
The Chicago g. Northwestern railway, has
had prepared very beautifully illustrated and
Illuminated pamphlet of about 100 pages, en-.
titled "My Rambles in the Enchanted Summer
Land of the Great Northwest, during the
Tourist Season of 1884," Nhe pamphlet
gives descriptions of many of the principal
points of interest along the line of road, and
large amount of interesting reading 1t is
especially interesting to those wishing to
visit the summer resorts, for which this re-
gion of country is SO famous.
The st. Paul & Manitoba road had $50 cars
| filled with moveables and stock belonging to
immigrants, all of which they handled with ease
and without much inconvenience. Fifty-twO
cars more, filed with immigrants and what
baggage they usually have with them, will be
here soon. These all On special trains. There
are enough more on the way on the regular
trains to swell the number up to 200. Thus
far the road has proved adequate to all de-
mands, and in order not to get behind the
manager has thirty more locomotives on the
way which will be here in few days.
The st. Paul & Duluth road are determined
that no one shall have any cause for complaint
on account of lack of facilities for White Bear
The road will put coach on the train that
leavesl saltwater at seven o'clock
| which will come right through
to St. Paul, bringing people in from White
Bear so that they will arrive here at s O'Clock
which is about as early as it is necessary to
| commence business here in town. During the
day trains will run hourly between st. Paul and
| saltwater, and at 6 clock at night train
will leave st. Paul which will take the people
| to the lake that desire to go there. This will
| be very great accommodation and will be
duly appreciated by the people of both cities

Defiance-Sioux City line of the Milwaukee has
been let to Langdon & Bishop. the same con.
tractors that are building the Council Bluffs

proposed line. This trip is to determine
| whether the work will begin as soon as the
| right of way is secured, and the frost or OF
the ground, or not until later in the season. In
the former case it will be possible to finish The
road SO that trains can be put on before
winter sets in.
