Being Secured.
Plans have been completed by
the Minnesota Steel Company for a
railway from the Duluth, Missabe &
Northern line between Adolph and
Proctor to the site of the new steel
plant which will be built at Spirit
Lake.
The company is now trying to &C.
cure the right-of-way. Solicitors are
working among the property own
ers, mostly farmers, and are getting
prices on the necessary lands.
The farmers through whose lands
the railway will run, are made fa
miliar with the plans, and asked
what prices they will accept with.
out condemnation proceedings. No
offers have been made to any of the
land owners.
The railway will run through
some of the finest and best cultivat-
ed farm lands in the southern part
OF the county. 1t will pass directly
through the town of Midway and
north of Fond du Lac to the site.
The survey for this road was
made last fall, and it is understood
that all the plans are ready for exc
cution, and that the only delay now
is in securing the right-ot-way. II
the farmers demand too high a
price, the company will have the
district court appoint appraisers
and proceed with condemnation.
