gave clear title May 7. The site is a 

 fine farm beside the Burlington at 

 Greggs Station, two miles west of Hins- 

 dale. Five large houses will be put up 

 at once and eventually the entire range 

 will be removed there. The plan is to 

 build a thoroughly modern plant and 

 one capable of indefinite expansion. 

 Mr. Washburn has stated that $100,000 

 will be required to remove the range, 

 but that the saving in cartage alone, 

 by being beside the railroad, will pay 

 interest on that sum.
