Henry Holbrook paced the floor a

his voice shaking with passion.
Il want to say to you that you have

You are blackguard and a gambler.

IMPROVING THE LINE.
Chicago & Northwestern is Working
Many Section Crews.

BY the close of the coming summer
the main line of the Chicago and
Northwestern Railway system between
Escanaba and Ishpeming Will be IN
better condition than IL has been for
years past, as many section crews are
now employed putting in new ties and
rails. This work was started year
ago. and since then nearly so per cent
of the old ties have been replaced. New
rails have been made in the yards of
the two cities. The ore trains being
pulled over the system are now so
much heavier than were the trains
that were hauled few years ago that
the ties did not last long. The life
of the average tie on this end OF the
system is shorter than at many other
points, due principally to the heavy
trains pulled over 1t.
1t is said that the Chicago & North
western company has purchased
greater number OF ties this year than
for some years past. The repair work
was neglected somewhat for a few
years, and as a result, new ties are
now badly needed in many places. The
company has six or seven section crews
now employed i'm the yards at Negau-
nee and at Ishpeming. and a number of
men working on the main line make
their headquarters i'm board-cars at
Ishpeming.
