ready arrived. Besides $4,000 ties
which must be unloaded, all of the
steel rails for use on over IL miles
of track are to be handled.
The storms during the last few
days have had no effect on the graders
working on the Great Northern line
to the lake. All of the different sub

steadily employed. One of the gen.
tlemen employing number of men

come and hope that it will last. It acts
as blanket and keeps the ground
from freezing deep. It is my belief
that the steel will all be down hy
