1.-THE chances that the Wisconsin railroad
will run through Saltwater seem to be
growing beautifully less. The great diff
Guilty in the way appears to be to find a
feasible route over the st. Croix river.
The Minneapolis & Sioux Ste Marie road,
it ia stated, are engaged in surveying east
from point three miles from White Bear,
which make it possible that the two COM
panies may unite in building a union
bridge. If they can agree on a point where
the st. Croix shall be crossed, Hari-
mans landing, near Apple Risen is looked
| on as the most feasible route, but nothing
since has yet been determined on the
ravine on the Wisconsin side, directly
opposite this city has been
examined by the engineers and found i'm
practicable. AS stated, nothing definite
has yet been settled on, but from the best
information obtainable point four miles
north of Saltwater will probably be select
ed for the crossing of the river.
The physicians of this city are having
more than their usual amount of business.
The dread diphtheria is having another
run.
The city hall was entirely deserted on
Friday evening. Not even ledger craved
admittence.
