The reporter took a journey out to the DSS&A Ry., Palmer extension Saturday. From here to Half-way the grading is very nearly finished and work is well under way on the remainder. The laying of rails will be commenced in a short time. The contractors have a little over three week's time yet, and will doubtless finish the work in that interval. There is quite a settlement at the Half-way nearly all the laborers employed on the road living at boarding houses there and in tents.
