STONE CITY, DAK., FRIDAY, NOV. 30, 1883.
Tile I1„C. U. A. i^xtension.
From the Burlington (Ioa.) Gazette
of the 22nd inst., we clip the following
important information concerning the
Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern
ail road which passes this point on its
direct route to Fargo. Next summer
will witness activity in railroad move*
ments in this immediate vicinity sel
dom equalled in the history of railroad
construction:
The correspondent of the Cedar
Rapids Gazette, who is accompanying
the surveying party sent northward by
the B., K. k X., writes this of the
completion of the present survey, and.
the couutry through which the new
extension of the road will run:
"Our first survey is ended, and we
have returned to Worthington, intend
ing to start towards Dakota this week.
From Tracy, where I wrote last, to
(ioose Lake, twenty-three miles north
the country is all a man could wish,
both for airriculture and railroads.
After leaving Tracy w« found the
grade so easy that six
or
seven mih s
were m.ide daily. We crossed the
Cottonwood river seven and one-hall
miles north of Tracy, through a valh y
one ruiie wide, the soil of which is as
good as any in the state. The prairie
along here had heen burned by some
rascal and several farmers with their
all were burned out. Eleven miles
further north we crossed tin* Redwood
river avid reached Mvan and Goose
lakes, two very line bodies of water.
(Our survey ended on the line of lied
wood and Yellow Medicine counties,
just 64 miles and 248 feet north of
Worthington. Goose Lake, one mile
long and three-fourths wide is the
jjun.'tion of Lyon, Yellow Medicine,
and Redwood counties, and is covered
'with geese and ducks. Many along
the route thought we were running
for Red wood Falls, but our line stop
ped 21
miles west
of that town. Here
the I!. C. I'. & X- will form a junction
with the Minneapolis & St. Louis, and
take a
north-western
course and reach
Fargo on the Northern Paeilic. Ian
a road be built on this route! ^s»
and easily. From Worthington the
route is almost due north and with
ithe
exception
of the country near the
i pes Moines river a road can be built
.without many
curves and but little
(grading. The people are anxious for
ia road running north and south as,
Ithcv Have been suffering from the
ntonopolv
of the Northwestern and
will
aid and assist a company in every
I way possible."
Comfort in Winter.
It is a
curions
fact that no matter
how long winter delays its advent,
it invariably finds the majority of
mankind unprepared for it,and no end
of discomfort, if nothing worse,
results.
Too
mate
many people underesti­
the
importance, for reasons both
of health and economy, of careful
preparation for the inevitable cold
seasons. It costs nothing but the la
'borofeold hours to bank the house
and keep old Boreas from roaring
beneath
Your
feet. Storm doors and
windows are not expensive, and, it
cared
for during the summer months.
I will hist as long as the house upon
(which they are used, and in the mere
s'ivin,r of fuel will pay for themelves
in a
smith* winter. If storm sash are
not
used,
i sliou'd
the casings of the windows
be caiefully looked to. A tiny
i crack may let in a rushing current of
I cold air,"
cariying
with it serious
runseijuences to the occupants of
heated rooms. Imperfectly fitting
doors, or door sills that have been
•worn are prolific cause of colds and
jdiscomfort. A few yards of narrow
'filling, which you can get at your
tailor's,
and a "weather strip will
1
n-niedv these evils. When possible
there
should
the
be a storm porch over
outside
'outer
doors most used, that the
door may be
closed
before the
inner one is opened. With these
nrenartions,
and such others as may
naturally suggest themselves to the
mind, winter is a season to w( l
comed rather than dreaded. It
is
social season, the season of long even
incrs, of home comforts and home
pleasures.
But the house into which
the chilling blasts of winter are
permitted
to find their way through
cracked
windows, around shabby cas
ings and ill-fitting doors, is a cheerless
place, where bedtime is a relief, and
where fuel
bills are runinous. lo the
heads of such homes the suggestion is
dethat it is never too late to mend,
either poor morals or poor houses.
