The fair weather Of the past
month has greatly aided the contrac-
tors on the new range traction line
and they now have completed the
exteriors of the carbarns and power
house in this city and the sub-sta-
ton at Chisholm. The track laying
will soon be completed and salts
factory progress has been made on
the stretch of track in this city.
A roof is now being put on the
powerhouse and it is likely that both
the carbarns and powerhouse will
be completed before the end of this
month. Machinery is now being in
stalled in the sub-station at CHS
holm, while the equipment for the
local buildings has already arrived.
Most of the frame poles from
Idaho have already been erected,
while the iron poles from the Ma
tional Tube company, Pittsburg, Pa,
are now being installed at the larger
points to be connected by the line.
The old planer mill near the new
powerhouse was recently dismantled
and the seven planers sold to a Du-
luth lumber firm by the Virginia &
Rainy Lake Lumber company. The
planers have been shipped to Duluth
and with the dismantling of the old
mill a good approach is given to the
new power house.
The Cleveland Construction CON-
pany officials who are in charge of
the electrical and mechanical work
