Lake County Star: Our people who have been going to the Kankakee, via Plum Grove, say Mr. Gifford is piling up steel rails and ties in great quantities there, and that the work of grading and building will go on now without delay. He expects to have the track laid as far as this place by the time snow flies. This new road is already shipping considerable hay and grain from its present terminus, and the farther north they get the more business they will do.
