local offices Of the Milwaukee and Duluth
roads, surface indications are that the recent
semi official announcements to the effect

Central was to come in from Duluth juno
ton over the Duluth track and the ccnstruc-
ton of a ''Y'' at the junction had been
begun. That work, however. has suddenly
stopped. and beyond receiving full line of
the Central tickets the union station agent
has no intimation of the company's present
intention to come in. Neither is there any
further information received here indicating
tracks and the union station. There is a
palpable hitch somewhere that will probably
not be overcome until considerably later

Sabin for lease of the tracks, and the con-
tract, it was supposed, had been executed,
but some obstacle now interyenes.
