SURVEY RUNS INTO DULUTH.
Duluth, Rainy Lake & Winnipeg Work Pushed.
Duluth, Oct. 21.—The survey of the Duluth, Rainy Lake & Winnipeg, formerly known as- the Duluth, Virginia & Rainy Lake railroad, has been completed into this city. It follows almost an air line between Duluth and Virginia, coming over the hill a little to the east of the Missabe railroad. It is
understood that the Wisconsin Central has formed a close alliance with the Rainy Lake road and that the latter will use the Wisconsin Central terminals in this city.
Construction work on the extension south from Virginia will begin in the early spring, and it is possible that the right of way will be cleared during the winter. Meantime work is being rushed on
the line between Virginia and International Falls, where the Rainy Lake line will connect with the Canadian Northern, giving a direct route between Chicago and the Manitoban metropolis via the Canadian Northern, Duluth, Rainy Lake & Winnipeg and the Wisconsin Central railroads, all
of which roads are reported to be in a traffic agreement, or possibly even closer allied.
