CRUSHER TO Be
ON MAIN Line

Ever since the American Refrac-
tories company purchased the Zauft
farm in the town of Merrimack, plans
have been considered as to the best
method of getting rock to the main
line of the Chicago e Northwestern.
At first it was thought desirable to
build wide guage track from a point
south of Devils nose to the farm but it
was found this would be very expen-
sive. Later it was decided to build a
narrow guage road to the main line,
locate the crusher mile or more from
the quarry, also a mile east Of Devils
Lake station. AS now decided upon the
narrow guage will carry the rock to
the crusher, electricity probably being
the power used. The company has had
no crusher at DEVILS Lake but with
more room at the new location one
will be installed
One of the complications which has
arisen in crossing the highway extend
ing between the lake and the Merri-
mack road. The railroad commission
does not want the narrow guage to
cross the highway, fearing accidents
i'll the future. This road may be much
used after it is improved. A conference
was held few days ago at the pro-
posed place and the best plan sug-
gested was for the track to be beneath
the highway, the public and the COM
pany sharing the expense. The track
crosses one corner of the state park,
the American Refractories company
having been granted the right to do
this when the sale of the property on
the lake shore was made to the state
