Road from Sank Centre to Little Falls

Asouo AlOAtA Oduh SCHtkC W LlttIC 4 dilS
We are informed by gentleman
who has just returned from Little
Falls, that the people over there are
agitating the question of building a
wagon road from that point to Sank
Centre. The crops in that section, on
account of the drought, are a COM
plete failure this year, while the man
ufacture of lumber has largely in
creased, so that the people want COM
munication with rich farming lands
of the Sank Valley to exchange their
lumber for grain. The distance from
Sank Centre to Little Falls by the
nearest practical route for wagon is
estimated at 35 miles, and the people
of Little Falls express themselves
ready and willing to meet the people
OF Sank Centre half way in this en-
terprise. This road would be of i'm
mense benefit to the business of our
town, and it would help make this the
most convenient market for a large
settlement othe east of Long Prair-
lie. Besides it would give the people of
this section cheap lumber and at the
same time improve the grain market.
