very heavy grades, no large streams
to cross and no expensive bridges OF
culverts to build. The road could
not fail to do a paying business from
the start, and would be the making
Of such points as Spirit Lake and
Worthington. The latter especially
would become the coal depot for a
number Of prairie counties now trib-
utary to Worthington and would,
with cheap coal, become all important

We remember when the city of
Cleveland, Ohio, had a population of
but 1900, and was merely lake
trading point. But coal road was
built to the Mahoning coal mines, a
a distance Of nearly 100 miles, and
from the day of it's completion Cleve-
land began to be manufacturing city,
and to-day has a population of 1885,
900, with 200 pudding furnaces, a
number of rolling mills, oil refncries,

through, and he said that the day be-

gave her cheap fuel, and that coal
road would do for Worthington, rcla-

A narrow-gahge road ought to lay
coal down in Worthington at rates
nearly if not quite as low as a wide
gauge road laid the Youngstown coal
down in Cleveland.

Of the proposed road will give the
subject thorough ventilation, and
keep public attention directed to the
project until it is a success.
The Madelia Times, referring to
the matter, says:
The Worthington Advance is agi-
tating the question Of narrow gauge
railroad from that place leading south
to the Iowa coal fields. It would GER
tainly seem to be q feasible measure.
A road Of that character passing
north and south through New Ulm,
this place, Paramount and so on south
into Iowa would add very much to
the welfare ofthis portion of the State.
