Farrell & Clark moved their steam
shovel and camps from Willow River
to the north side of Sand lake this
week. They will take the clay to
complete the shoulders on Highway

to traffic for some time, driving on
it has not been satisfactory until the
sides have been filled in, as one can
not feel perfectly at ease on that
strip when there is a drop of seven
