FRlDAY evening last Deputy Register
Of Deeds Observation-Disclosures fifty -four
deeds for record, containing about entire
right of way through Pembina county,
for the proposed Manitoba branch from
Grafton northwest. Whether this is a
dodge to throw off the already commence

We are satisfied of one thing and that is
Jim Hill will not build railroad through
territory already under his control, az
is the western part of this county. The
deeds call for right of way from Grafton,
northwest to within two miles east of
Crystal, when it makes almost n straight
line for Cavalier, then. northwest to st.
Joseph and Bay Centre. travcrsing the
townships of Flora, Lodema, Cavalier
and st. Joseph.
