LAYING OUT "CUT-OFF."

Surveyors are laying out the long
proposed cutoff which is to make
the Wisconsin Central one of the
short lines between the twin cities
and Chicago, and to transfer it from
the weak lines class to a place
among the strong lines. The 'cut-
off" will also give the Wisconsin Cen
trail strong competing line from Du-
luth to Chicago for general freight
and passenger business, and a quick
haul for the United States Steel COM
pany's ore from the Mesaba range
to the shelters at Gary, Ind.
When it was reported that the
steel trust was back of the company
formed in Wisconsin to build a stand
ard air line extending due north
from Ladysmith on the Wisconsin
Central to the head of the lakes, it
was predicted that the Central main
line would be shortened by running
"cut-off" from Grand Rapids to
Waukesha, IT'S miles. Surveyors are
now in the field with the idea Of
making the Central the shortest line
between Minneapolis and Chicago,
and Duluth and Chicago. 1t is now
one of the longest routes from Min
neapolis to Chicago.
The engineers are reported to be
finding an easy grade between Grand
Rapids and Waukesha.-M Minneapolis
