THREE CREWS WORK
Great Northern to Make Double Track
to Evansville a Model, Expensive I'M
proVement, but for the Future.

According TO The st. Cloud Journal
Press, doubling the track between st.
Cloud, and Evansville. by the Great
Northern will be the most important
piece of work, designed rather for the
future than the present.
1t was learned. last Saturday, hat
the road has three surveying crews
now at work-one starting from st.
Cloud and working east, one from
Evansville, working west and one in
the central division. The company is
rushing the surveying SO that the work
of putting down the extra track may
be commenced as soon as the frost is
out of the ground.
The track will be Strengthened in
several places, and some heavy grades
lowered. 1t is stated on good author
ity that the expense will be very
large, and that the road between these
two cities will be the best that
can be put down and will be the
model not only of the entire Great
Northern system. but Of the whole
country.
1t is said the Great Northern will
also spend something like a half, mil
lion dollars in increasing the capacity
of the car shops at White Park next
summer.
