THE CANNON VALLEY RAILROAD.
The Faribault Republican, i'll il re.
cent article OH the Cannon Valley Rail-
road, speaks thus of it's southwestern
connections:
The extent of this numbering busi-
ness cannot well be Overestilnated. At
Nl.nkato the road will intersect the
Northwestern or Win0na Il st. Peter
and the st. Paul Il Sioux City, both Of
which roads penetrate u country which
is almost treeless. The st. Paul &
Sioux City by its main line penetrates
Southern Minnesota and Western Iowa
with supplies of lumber from the north
ern pineries. 1t is also reaching out
toward the Black Hills, and its branch
line which has reached Sioux Falls will
he constructed l4O miles further west
in the course Of another season. The
lulnb for I'LL this vast country which
is being opened up SO rapidly cannot be
s::plAieu from Minneapolis alone. A
large share of it must come from the
Wisconsin pineries, and the Cannon
Valley road, connecting directly with
the heaviest numbering districts, the
Chippewa valley, and offering by far
the shorter route for transportation,
will ENJOY Il large share OF the business.
Again, looking ut the map it will be
seen t.at when the Black Hills branch
of the st. Paul & Sioux City road is
completed, it will furnisl, much the
shorter route to the Black Hills mining
region which lies due west Of us. Also
that the Cannon Valley road will he 4
prolong .tiOn in the general direction
OF the line Of the st. Paul 4 Sioux City
road, from Worthington where the
Black Hills branch will connect, north
westward through ManSato, making
almost an air line from Worthington to
Red Wing. by the completion OF tI,is
toute from Red Wing to Ashland it
will be se.n that this will be much the
most Iii ect lein b tween the Black
Hills and Lake Superior, that is likely
to be constructed. The connection to
be secured by the Sioux City route with
the Iowa coal fields Is another auvan-
tage not to be lost sight of.
THE TORlAL CONTEN7ION.
This is the way the Martin County
Sentinel tells on them:
If Jackson county hadn't gone square
back on her agreement Hon. J. "A. Ev-
crctt, of this place, would have been
the next Senator. The delegates from
Mlltiu and jackson entered iutO an
agreement that the eouuty which de.
veiolt,l the most strength on the first
formal b;,slot slto*ld receive the sup
port of both delegates. But it came tu
pass that Martin comfy had the most
strength and the Jackson county del.
cgates, ignoring their sUleann oblig;l-
tiom, olnlurately continued to cast th-a
votes for George &. Chamberlain, and
il dough-leaded scandinavian who is
no more fit for Senator than Il Digger

casions, would have nominted on,
