SURVEYORS ARE AT WORK Engineer Kelly Making Topo- graphical Survey South of Clearwater Lake. T Bagley, Jan: 31, — Engineer Kelly, whois making the topo- graphical survey of the Soo rail- road from Thief River to Duluth, has started a new line that touches the south shore of Clear- water Lake at what is known as Neving’s stopping place. The fine water power at this point is said to be one of the chief draw- ing cards. This power is said to be equal, and in many respects superior to the Red Lake Fall3 power. The change in line will make it a certainty that the rail- road will build direct to Bemidji instead of connecting with any of the lines now running. north into the timber on the Red Lake reservation. Quite a little ex- citement has been stirred up among the farmers in northern Clearwater county by the differ- ent lines run and every farmer is making ready to plat a town- site.

Line Will Be Built in Direct Line From Duluth to Thief River Falls.
