direct from she Twin Cities to some
south ahore port. Considerable
guess work is evident in an endeav-

arrived NJ the conclusion that there
is going 10 bsa railway line running
along the south shore as far as Bay
field before long. It is also learned
upon pretty good authority that

badly be started next summer, but
-whe Their it will be done on the line
surveyed by the N. P. or some other
survey, 10 not known.
