milwaukee GETTING BUSY.
Short Route From Mankato to Omaha
Contemplated.

FROM wednesday s Daily.
Macintosh Brothers of Milwaukee
have the contract for constructing 800
miles of road west of Evarts, n. d., for
the Milwaukee road, as part of its
Pacific extension, including the building
of bridge at Evarts. Another line
will run west from Chamberlain, S. d.,
and the two will join in Montana or
Wyoming and thence extend west.
1t is without doubt the intention of
the Milwaukee to secure direct route
from the twin cities to Omaha the COM
ing season, and there is much reason to
believe that it will strike directly south
from Mankato so as to avoid the heavy
grade of the present line between Man
kato and Rapidan. The coming season
promises to be one of the busiest ever
known in railroad construction work,
and the amount done will only be linn
tied by the ability of the steel mills to
turn out steel rails. Orders have al
ready been placed for months ahead.
