New northumberland breaking
construction work is to be the rule on
the new line of the Great Northern
railroad from Ayr to Surrey, which has
already been commenced at several
points along the route. 1t is the in
tention of the company to have the
grading work in progress from one end
OF the line to the other at the same
time so that it can all be completed
in time to lay steel this fall, or ear
ly next year.
Within the past few days big crews
of men and large grading equipments
have been shipped by contractors to
several points along the line. These
are at Ayr, Hannaford, New Rockford,
Surrey and Norwich. The crew I'M
loaded here consisted of 100 men and
they brought with them about 100
head of horses and mules, shipping
from st. Cloud, MINI.
The securing Of right Of way for
the line has given the officials Of the
railroad little or no trouble. They
have progressed with remarkable ra-
pidity, few instances only being such
as to require legal action in the way
of condemnation proceedings before
the proper results could be secured.
