Miller, 8. D., Nov. 11.-Conirm-
atory of the statement made here by
Government Bank Examiner Silsby
to Judge Briggs, president of the
Miller board of trade, that President
Earling of the Milwaukee road had
said the Platte line would next year
be extended to Orient bg4way OF. Mill
Ter, the Gam Valley Chief has the
following: John McDonald, claim
agent Of the Milwaukee, spent some
days in Buffalo county looking over
land which is the terminus Of the
Milwaukee survey on the Woonsocket
extension and Is also on The probable
route of the extension from Platte to
Orient. The visit of Mr.. Mcdonald at
this time and the care with which he
looked over this particular tract Of
land is significant to say the least.
especially when it is given out posi-
lively on excellent authority that the
long talked Of link from Platte to
Orient will be built next year" Off
Gals say that the new line will pro-
vide another feeder and direct con-
nections with the east for a large
territory that has no railway facili-
ties.

PLUG THE SEWER
City Authorities VIII Prevent Backing Up
on Girard Avenue.

City Authorities VIII Prevent Backing Up
on eIrard Avenue.
In order to ward off further lawsuits
from the Girard avenue district, it lis likely
that several Of the sewer catch-basins will
be bricked UP so that they will not admit
water. Some years ago the city council
ordered the extension of a sewer on Girard
avenue s in direct opposition to the adj
vice of the sewer engineer and who made
the point that the system was too small to
carry drain to any more territory than
was already tributary. The construction
was forced however. AS a result Of dam
ages caused by the backing up of the
sewer damage suits aggregating $4,000
have been begun against the city. ~ z
