Hence, you can plainly see that the stock will DO

the intention Of the Company to construct u sub
stantisl road, not one that the iron will hardly be
laid Before 1t begins to show the year. as If it had

large Touring mills, at Nsenah there are 5, and
large numbsr at Appleton that have to lay Idle near
ly half the time for want OF grain to supply the
mills. The price of wheat generally ranges from

lines OF ROAD II the farmer will look at State

Aenasha and Nssnah, the same AZ TO Milwaukee
and Chicago, and taking any point On tho Inc of
road you will And that the distance to Oshkosh
AsenAh and Msnasha Is considerable nearer than
TO Milwaukee or Chicago, hence you will not ONLY
nave better market for your grain, but can have
1t carried at less cost and it is safo to say YOU will
get from to 20 cents more for your grain than at
any other point. There is talk of extending the
Sheooygan railroad through on this same line The
distance from Dubuque to Sheboygan would he
~ miles further than either Chicago, Milwaukee,
Neenah, Msnasha, or Oshkosh, and what better
market have you when your grain is shipped to
sheboygaa. The distance from Green Bav TO
Dubuque is even less than Sheboygan. and a much
better point IL would shor ten the Lake navfgs-

interest will you get q connection, with by getting
the shebOysan railroad only that: from
Fond du Lac to sheboygan. You will obtain
all OF these In obtaining the W. NJ R

has the Sheboygan road to bring to the cosntss on
the line of this road and what can it take from vor
counties to the port ofSheboygan. 1t certainly can
not. carry grain, for it cannot compete with other
lines of road the distance will be further and 10
better market when at Sheboygsn.
On the contrary the w. NJ. r. R., has lumber and
