andiFrazeesis being used, and on SUM-
day large gang of men laid the steel
rails on the new road bed between
Frazee and the McDougall camp
northwest of Frazee. The double track
northwest of McHugh is also in use.
A great difficulty in the construc-
tion of the new double track, which
seemed impossible to overcome, has
at last become a possibility. The new
survey northwest of Frazee ran
through the Harold lake, and the work
across the lake was let to McDougaIl
81 Sons, of Milwaukee, who have about
100 men and two large steam shovels
at work, and several small engines.
Seventy five foot piIing would not
stand erect in the lake, and the task
of filling the lake bottom for a
grade was begun several weeks ago.
Hundreds of thousands of cubic feet
of sand and stones have been tipped
into the lake, and only recently has
any noticeable effect been seen. Some
nights the grade would be seen near
ing the surface of the water near the
edge of the lake and in the morning
appeared from view. But for this work
the double track would have been
working between Wadena and Detroit,
Harold lake being the only great OBJ
stacle.

voted upon this fall, which allows the

to buy, in addition to those securities

to the list drainage bonds and the
bonds of other states which have new

In view of the fact that there is
lying in the state treasury over $780,
