fitted up for boarding and supply
cars for the steel gang, and will be
pushed along as the track is laid.

Anent the survey and profile made
by the Three Falls railroad com
pany, and which survey and profile
is wanted by the Gulf railroad COM
pany, the papers in question have
been sent for and will probably be
here some time this week. The
survey costs something over 5000,
and it is doubtful whether the
officers of the company, who paid
the amount, will be willing to let it
pass out of their hands until they
are reimbursed, at least in part, as
the papers undoubtedly have some
value. It is stated that if the Gulf
railroad is ultimately built the best
way for it to get into the Redwood
ana Minnesota valleys is to pass
through Watson's S addition, ditch
ing into the hollow north of that
addition, and then proceed down the
side of the hills forming a portion
of the Redwood valley, and leading
directly into the Minnesota valley.
This undoubtedly would be the
very best and easiest route that
can be found, and to complete it
would carry with it very little more
than the average expense of rail
road building.

Information from the north side of

Railway company, and Secretary

President of the G. & NJ, who has
been agitating the voting of bonds

week or ten days with the view OF
making Redwood Falls a definite
proposition for the construction OF
