The big rain last ux.i it possible, The ground was moist io ine ooitom of the furrow. The sugar beet loading station for Prairie Creek and the upper valley will be two miles south of Enterprise, several public spirited landowners donating right of way and money so that a county road will be put mroagii from the Litch place east two miles to the roid running along by B. T. Long's. This will elve ac iiss to the loading switch at or near where this new road crosses the rai! load track, from both Alder Slops an;i na.rie Creok. , Several of the landowners affected were in town Saturday getting con sM.ts and cash to help pay the ex pense, and consulting the county court. It wan. tha Intotl.... ,!, sugar company to put in the switch just a mile south of town on the Mc cormick place, but the changed lo caf.ion, with the new road running to 't, will be far more convenient to Prairie Creek and upper valley lands, The new roid will serve an ad mirable purpose aside from leading to the sidetrack, as it will give a straight, route between Prairie Creek and Alder Slope, saving a couple of miles at least on trips between those two aectjyns..
