We feel sanguine that the early compile
ton of the Little Falls 6 Dakota Railroad
is an assured fact. The recent sale of a
controlling interest in tie road TO Col.
Crooks and his associates, while looked up
Oh, by some, with suspicion, is, however,
the best that could be done under the cir
cumstanCcs. Sooner Or later We would
have had to gone on the market and sought
capital with which to build the line, and if
we had done SO, could we have made as
satisfactory an arrangement and agreement
as has just been c0usummated The parties
who have negotiated the purchase, gave all
guarantees we could reasonably ask or eX-
pect. They furnish the money, and they
| furnish the brains, and what capitalists
would not demand controi of the property
in which their moneys were invested Col
! Crooks and Mr. Clough are not the men to
do any dirty work Or trickery for any par
| ties, and as far as they are concerned we are
confident they will act in good faith, and
if, as some claim, we are sold out, we as,
sert that neither Of these gentlemen are
parties to the sWindlc. But we are of the
impression that the present company will
act in good faith, for they have control of
piece of property which will prove
good investment and yield handsome
profit to the owner. This line is located
through one of the richest tracts of farm
ing country in the State, and there is not a
single doubt but it will pay from the start.
1t has the sympathy and will have the sup
port of the people along the line. This
road can charge paying rates and do over
two thirds Of the business, for the people
look upon it as their road, and will always
so consider it, no matter who controls it,
so long as their rights are respected. Be-
fore long our people will be called upon to
vote the bonus, and we do not expect a
single negative, for they all know it will
give them cheap fuel and lumber, good
prices for their produce; it will add from
S. to $40 per acre to the value of every
acre of land in the county. They know
, this, and will work and aid the enterprise
that assures them relief from monopoies
Stevens County tribune. (Morris, Minn.) 1877-1880, 1879-09-18

The railroad company have decided to
furnish no more wood, in less than carload
lots, to st tions west of Litchfield. The
reasons for this action are probably the
scarcity of wood, expense, loss from FIRE,
wastage, &c. The issuance of this order
has caused considerable excitement and
been the subject of much comment; the
action of the company being bitterly and
savagely denounced and universally con-
demned Apparently we must accept the
