Dan Patch Is Growing Fast.

People who have not been out in

Gently will be surprised to see the
startling change that is being made
in the natural physiognomy between
Mortified a and Waterford. The
grade of the, Dan Patch line connect
ing with the Great Western is be-
ginning to loom up like an immense
earthen wall along the top of the
high ridge on this side of Waterford.
Due to the fact that the state law
requires that an overhead railway
crossing must be q feet above the
road il crosses, high grade has to
be built on what is now naturally
high land. The crossing over the
Milwaukee will be about mile north
of town, where the latter road makes
deep cut through a piece of woods.
On this side of the Waterford road
high tressel is being built over
valley coming up from the Cannon
river. A second smaller tressel is be-
ing built nearer town.-Northtield
