OF days. The principal shops OF the railroad
company between Brainerd and the Pacific Ocean
are now being built here. They Will give en-
Pioyment to probably 1900 men. Pine timber Ia
plenty IN the surrounding country, and various
saw1nlls Ia the Immediate vicinity of the town
furnish work for hosts of employs. The valseyH
