The LAND GRANT RAILWAY. -Mena-
sha and Neenah have each voted to add
$50, 200 to their bonded Indebtedness to
aid in the construction of George Reed S
Land Grant Railway from Doty Island.
The market value of the bonds will pro-
badly be best known when it is remem-
bered that said Road has no outlet to
Lake Michigan save via. the G. & n. W.

bic the whole thing, If it promises to
amount to anything We presume that
the first business in order will be the
