1t seems that the route for the rail.
road to this city has not yet been set
tied. A few days ago the surveyors
started survey commencing at Gus
tin station, running through Killmas.
ter village to camp 8, and thence to
this city. This route would bring the
railroad through the Hubbard Lake
region. Before long it will be known
where the road will be laid out, and
we hope it will be by Hubbard Lake.
Such a route would open up large
tract of valuable farming lands. AT
one time it was believed that the road
would run from Black River and fol-
low the shore to this city. The latter
route could be built for less money
than the former, but the Hubbard
Lake route would give the road the
most business, and be the best for Al
pena county.

Jas. Shell commenced on Friday
of last week, the work of sprinkling
that part of Second street that is paw
ed. He is paid by the merchants
along the route and the city is at no
expense. He is not liable to have
any opposition. The sprinkler con-
sists of a mammoth barrel set on
wheels, and under the barrel, set at
right angles is tin tube full of small
holes. The water from the barrel
enters the tube and the pressure forces
it through the holes in fine spray.
1t will be of great service when warm
weather comes, but last Monday the
temperature of the air was such that
warm water would not have been
amiss.
