shutes, but no depot. Then comes
Onaga.
North of Onaga the only place ru-
mored for a town between here and
Frankfort is about a mile southwest of
the Catholic church on Irish creek,
but this is a very vague proposition
and depends on several contingencies,
one of which is that the final survey
for grade stakes is yet to be made.
It is stated on good authority that
the railroad company gill take no
part in the organization of town COM
panies, but will build stations where
best suits their convenience, and leave
the lot selling and town building to
whoever wants to engage in the bust
ness. A gentleman was here this week
