RAILROAD WORK
PROGRESSING.
Construction Work On

Completion.

Work oh the Fairmount G.
Veblen Extension is moving for
ward with dispatch. A careful
estimate places 93 per cent of
the total yardage in the dump
with a full force of contractors
in the field to clear up the rest.
From this it will seem that all
the grade is completed except
seven per cent and this will be
wiped out within a few days.
This week the rails will be
laid into Lake City and the rail-
road yards at that point complet-
ed. Eighteen miles of track,
from Veblen to Lake City will
then be completed and ready
for trains. The contractors can
push the rail laying to Grenville
without interruption as the work
of grading will be out of the way.
At Lake City the water tank
is completed and the depot near
ing completion. The construc-
6on work on the tanks and de-
pots in the other towns will be
under way within ten or fifteen
days.
AtHilltop, the first stop out
of Veblen, the coal sheds and
elevator of the Holanson Grain
Company, Osborne-McMillan,
Grown Elevator Company are
ready to build. Some of them
have their material on the ground
and will be in shape to buy with

The Miller Elevator Co. have
their material on the ground at
Eden having hauled it overland
from Sisseton. They will be
ready to do business within three
weeks. The Victoria Elevator
Company will haul an elevator
overland to Grenville in order to
be ready to ship as soon as the
rails reach this town.
There will be three elevators
in each of the new towns. Ma
terial is ordered and enroute for
this purpose and the houses will
