TUig is firam the Bancroft Advertlier: Mr. Alili-y iniioiuices that (he Toledo & Aun Albor raihvay will In the near future build a track oí Ita own iroin Duiand to Owosso. Two yearaago thU route was surveyed anditwlll bf noöoed that the oom pauy isonly carrying out its original plan, in spite of alt offers and Indoceoaanta to tbe contrary. The survey was begun at thfl lame polnt where the line from Byron whicli is beiug huilt, strikes the Detroit! Grand Haven & Milwaukee rond. From thetice the line runs nortta and weat uutil it strike a line running nearly east and Weet betweeu Flint and OwoMO. Tliis last mentioned line runs near the Coi -unna coal mines, a little less tlian two milea uortii of Corunna. Now, it U well known that Ihe Grand Trunk three years a;o started out to build a load from Flint to Uvosto via Flushiuff and tlie Coruniia coal mines. Tlie line was actually surveyed and the pbm was to takc up the coal mine track and ttralghtan it out between Corunna coal tilines and Owosso, as a part of the line between that place and Flint, thus making a continuous Grand T. road from I'ort Hurón to Grand Haven. Work was all nlrrady com menead; a survey was made and a laríre brick round house with turn table was built at OwoMO, when the Ashleyssprtitiíí tluir schemci of building tlie Ana Arbor road to Owosso and the northwest. Tlien the Grand Trunk stopped work on tlieir line and nllowed the Ashleys to take up the work of bnlldlng, wbich is just what they are about to ilo.
