Hans 6ronnerud and M. w. SpiCer
Retire from the 6. & NJ.

known business man of this city
from Secretary Compton Of the Gulf
& Manitoba, residing at DesMoines.
Iowa, which, after thanking the
business man for calling attention
to a possible destruction of prop
erty, stated that F. l.. Campbell,
auditor of the road, was still in
New York, and from the very last
reports matters were progressing
very favorably for the securing of
funds to carry on the completion of
the road from some point in the
northern portion of the State to
Cover, Missouri. No further in
formation was given. The neces-
sity of slow and quiet work is
apparent, the east and west lines
fighting against every north and
south line in an embryo condition,
or in progress of construction.

Tanner and Master Mechanic Tong

Morton last Friday and when her

pose, it is supposed, of looking owe
the wrecked ears that have not ye
been removed from the track on tn
Gulf line.
: In case the Northwestern CON
pany extends the Redwood branc
for a junction with it's Minnesota {
Iowa division at Seaforth, it is nc
likely that such an extension vii
be commenced before June of thi

be put forward in improving th
Redwood yards.

price of lots in Revere have jumpe
to double their value since this re
: port was started.
