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

where this new road crosses the rai!
load track, from both Alder Slops

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..
The new road crosses land owned
by Aaron Wade, R. F. Stubblefield,
L. W. Riley, Jacob Bauer" and L. J.
Jordan. Mr. Wade gives the right
of way free and returns. $100 to Mr.
8tubbl,fte)d qf $150 the latter had
paid for a private right of way. Mr.
Stubblefield gives the laud, and bears
the expense of moving the fences,
L. W. Riley has. a forty cut off by
the road from the balance of his farm,
but asks no damages and donates
right of way, a does als0 Jacob

They had a most delightful trip.
Mr. Rennie, who 13 the E. M. & M.
