NORTHWESTERN TO BUILD.

viii Extend a Branch From Appleton to
Gillet. Wis.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, April 27.-A spe-
cial from Appleton, Wis. says: 1t is
stated the Chicago and Northwestern
Railway company will build a branch
this summer from Appleton due north
to Gillet, in Oconto county. This branch
will not only open very rich hard
wood country, not now touched by a
railway, but will also relieve the north
ern end of the Northwestern main
line from the immense p ssure of pulp
wood business from the north to Fox
river points which each spring seriously
interferes with the ore carrying trade.
The new line will also reach Seymour,
Outagamie county, and Shawano, Sha'
wano county.
