In Fort Dodge, Botna, Madrid, Des

In South Des Moines the bottoms pre-

above the water line.
The river reached it's highest point at 3

notably in Marquette county and on the
Menominee range, it has local competi-

without doubt will soon be secured, and
south from that section it will build thru

being in course of construction.
To the north, a line is to be constructed
from Menominee to Escanaba, and from
Wausaukee by way of Coleman. to the

Then it was learned that a prominent Off
cial Of the Northern Pacific had previous
to this tried to make contracts for drilling
on, the Highland range with some OF the
drill contractors in Duluth. but as all Of
them were rushed with work they could
not accept the proposed new contract.
