The proposed route of the Duluth,

at Little Falls, Mimi, thence to Sank
Centre and from there to Morris,
Mimi, crossing the Manitoba line at
or near that point, and entering South

along the north border of Coddlngton
county to the southwest corner OF
Roberts county where it takes south
westerly course to Clark, in Clark
county, and continuing the same course
to Huron, entering Beadle county a
little north of Winthrop.
The Huron, Chamberlain, & Black
Hills line runs in a southwesterly
direction from Huron to Washington
Springs, Jerauld county, going di-
.agonally across that county and the
northwest part of Brule county to
Chamberlain on the Missouri river.
The Duluth News OF the 10Th inst.
has a lengthy article on railroad lines
which propose to reach that city the
coming season, from which the fol-
lowing paragraph is taken:
Mr.. Flynn; who is president of the
Little Falls, Mile Laos & Lake
Superior Road, which is surveying a
linelfrom Little Falls towards Duluth
via the southern shore of Mile Laos
lake. President Flynn states that the
people Of Little Falls prefer that this
should be built by an independent
company, but there are those who
think that this road, the Duluth, Mil
bank Il Southwestern and the Huron
Chamberlain s. Black Hills are all
backed by the Northern Pacific. These
lines added to the line already built from
Little Falls to Morris would make a
fine addition to the Northern Pacific
system.
