The city council is going to try

for sprinEling purposes and substi-

Beet Road Improving.

The old sugar beet road in the
western part of the county, running
from Loveland through Johnstown
and down to the Highlandlake
country is beginning to reach the
dignity of 4 regular railroad. The
old rails on the road between Johns
town and Loveland are being re-
placed by heavier ones and the road
bed put in better shape to carry
heavy rolling stock.
The steel for the extension to
Highlandlake is arriving and every
thing viii be in ship shape for hand
ling the big beet crop next fall.
A new locomotive has been pur-
chased for this line, capable of haul
ing forty carloads of beets. Much
other business besides beet hauling
will be done by the road.
The beet road from Windsor to
Eaton, which is a part of the same
system, the Great Western, is also
forging ahead and will be ready for
the beet crop. AS yet there are no
active preparations to connect the
two sections of the system, but 10
one need be surprised if the two sec
tions are connected by another year,
and also that the Johnstown and
Hillsboro branch reaches the Union
Pacific at LaSalle.
