Service on the Extension

Between the 25% of this month and the lst of September, a
local train will be commenced on the middle division of the
South Shore, from Nestoria to Dogwood. The grading and ditch-
ing is now practically finished and the superintendent of con-
struction, Mr. Latcha, is about ready to turn the new road over
to the operating department. A train will probably be run west
from Nestoria, connecting with the westbound morning express to
Houghton and making connections at the other end with the Lake
Shore for Ashland, while Bessemer, in the center of the Gogebic
range is only two and a half miles away from the track, and a
turnpike has been cut through. The trains will be run simply
for the local business until the extension into West Superior,
which will be pushed through faster than any other piece of road
in the Upper Peninsula was built can be finished.
