From The State Republican.
That the Michigan United Rail-
ways company is again contemplate
ing an electric line from Lansing to
Saginaw by way of OwossO seems
certain. Il. w. Atwood has himself
been going over the proposed route,
surveyors are said to be working up
on 1t, and it Is also rumored that the
gang and equipment of the North

the Lansing-Jaokson line, will be
moved to the vicinity of Pine lake
and there set at work as soon as

Big Hotel at Pine Lake.
For a long time this line to Sagi-
nav from Lansing has been under
consideration, and should be built
it has been limited that a good sized
hotel will be erected at the north end
of Pine lake. Perry is anxious that
the line shall pass through that place
and it quite probable that it will.
When "Tip" Atwood was last seen
he stated that the M. U. r. intended
to put through the long proposed
railroad if cities and property hold
