W: F. Cobb, of Chicago, attor-j ney for the C. & G. S. railway company, .filed for record a million dollar mortgage, with the 1 Recorder of this county, last Mon- j day. , It is a voluminous docu-; ment and will cover. 40* pages of ; lie record book. The above com- j puny have very nearly completed! their extension from Yeddo to Bra-: ? 11, and it is now their announced j intention to construct the northern ! extension to LaCross. The mort- \ gage specifies that the line will; begin at Fair Oaks but reserves ( the right to change the route if j found desirable. There i 3 no! ' onger any question but that this j line will be built at once, and from present indications it Seems likely that the Fair Oaks route will be selected, although that {joint is probably not definitely ] j determined, and the Rensselaer j route has still a fighting ehanct j . of being selected.
