Gifford Road Began in Lake County.

i Crown Point Star. O. Dinwiddie and Mr. Gifford, the promoter of the new railroad, were here on Wednesday negotiating for some right-of-way on the marsh, and that grading had been commenced on the iMnwiddie land, south of Pium Grove and that a larger force would soon be put on. The road is now headed to cross the Monon 1£ miles south of Lowell, and thence into West Creek, the objective point being Chicago. Heights, but if Lowell succeeds in getting some right-of-way allotted to them they will get the road, after which it will take a northwesterly course in range of Brunswick, and thence on to Chicago Heights and everything now looks favorable for the enterprise to go through, and also for Lowell to fill her part of the contract. Mr. Dinwiddie seems to have no doubt of its early completion.
