Soo Dirt Is Flying. According to F, J. Anderson, the su’perimendent of construction on the Plummer-Moose Lake line of the Soo railway, there was “turned up” for grading, along the line, last month 360,000 yards of dirt, which is considered very good, under the conditions which existed during March. : Mr. Anderson avers that - there will be much more “doing” during April, and that the estimated 360,000 yards will be doubled during that month; “Hustle” is the general instruct- ions which have been sent out to all graders along the Soo, of late; and bridge builders have also been reminded that time passes and passes quickly, and old age comes on apace, or words to that effect. At any rate, the work of getting the line completed will be rushed from new on.
