Commence Work
The Circle Banner has from time to time published
good deal regarding railroad news but this week think
have some information which sounds better than
There has been persistent rumors to the that
work would spring and that Circle was practically
assured of railroad by next fall Now we believe it
than just lsten here's what the Lambert Promoter
Enid Anegard Call and Falls Tribune have say
Lambert Promoter
THAT the Great Northern intends to extend their line
west from here in the spring assured fact Sew
eral OF grading equpen have received this
station for the Guthrie Riley CONSTRUCTION Co., and is under
stood as as weather will permit building operations will
be resumed"
Enid Echo
"The best and most assuring railroad news that has
been received during the pt winter the fact that Satr
day carload OF provisions received at Lambert and
Tuesday another arrived Both of these
signed Guthrie Co., who the head contractors this
extension. The arrival of these two indication
that to arrive in few days. 1t reported that
effort will be made to have the trese the lake
peed before the frost out in the spring and that the
track will be laid into Enid sometime during April and this
place be made the base supplies for the contractors along
the line from Enid to Circle. This has started things in
Enid and plans for two business buildings have already
been placed with the carpenters and the intention to start
work on them at an early date"
Arnegaard Call
The Guthrie-Riey Construction Company are max
ing preparations to ship their railroad building outfit which
they haveover Fiver Lambert Mont.
This probably that the above company getting ready
to building operations the west end of the line
soon as the weather permits
Great Falls Tribune
"Lewsown Feb 18.-Folowng close upon the Tri
bunes recent announcement of the plans of the Milwaukee
railroad for the extension of its line from Grass Range to
Winne this summer and of the activity of the Great Nor
thern in Mckenzie county D. the positive announce
men made here last night that the Great Northern about
to begin work its cutoff line Lambert Rchand county
to Circle Dawson county,
The distance is about IS miles and it is understood
the work will be begun the weather is favorable
In this connection much importance has been attached to the
fact that the contractors for the Great Northern who have the
contract for the long tunnel some miles east of Lewsown
have ordered the equipment left on the ground
Much of the equipment belongs to the Montana
Power Co. This company had plans for transferring
Of to other points, said but the contractors requested
that be permitted to remain The inference drawn here
that work the tunnel will be resumed very soon."
Don't the above clippings make it seem though
there will be something doing soon? If the N, did not
intend do construction work this spring. surely the
GuhrieRey company would not be shipping their grading
equipment ETC.. to Lambert
There are also other indications which makes things
look very favorable is the new Great Northern folder
for 1916the veay aest-a copy Of which shown the
writer this week by Mr. Stuart. The railway in the
folder shows the G. N under construction from
LdlHDert u ClClc dlSo gives dS uAucI
Waord N D. to the Missouri river east and also from
Lewstown east to Chippewa This something that did not
appear in the G. N. folders time tables, for 1915
We also received some good sounding" railroad news
this week from Chas ORren of Brockways prominent
business men, who recently has been St Paul business

some the G. N officials while down there they assured him
that work to be done this but Just to what
