WILL BUILD OWN RAILROAD

Monon Crushed Stone Co. Buys Rolling Stock. Tlhe Mlonun Crushed Stone Co. has received an engine and seven cars, which was purchased in Chicago, to be used by the plant. Two acres of ground will be stripped and about one mile of track will be laid to convey the dirt where it will bo dumped. After this work is completed, the cars will be used in conveying stone from the quarry to the crusher. The enlargement of the plant begun last lall has been hindered by delay in transit of building material, a carload of heavy framing timbers having been on the road over a month and ha,s mot yet arrived. When the improvements are completed the crusher will have a capacity of 2,000 yards per day,- instead of 500 as at present.—Monon News.
