From the Sank Centre Herald,
If the residents along the line Of
this road take hold of the matter, &C.
cording to present indications, there
is no reason why this road will not be
built during the coming summer, for
the present directors are live, energet~
ic men aud are going to push the mat
ter as fast as possible, and if the road
is not built it will be no fault of theirs,
but will remain entirely with the peo>
pie. We have never had more favor
able time or opportunity for building
such road than now, and we should
not let the opportunity pass. If the
directors mean business, We should as.
sist by every means in our. power to
further their Intentions and assist in
this great work. y.
The benefits to our village and town
from the building Of this road would
be incalculable. Ours is a farming
community. What benefits the far
mers benefits US. Let the grasshop-
pers eat the crops, let the wheat crop
be poor, from whatever cause 1T may
be, let the price Of wheat and produce
be low, and all branches Of trade and
business are dull. Whatever affects
the farmer affects the whole country.
When they thrive we all thrive.
When they have hard times we all
have hard times. We are emphatic>
ally dependent upon the farmer. Now
what would be the effect of building
this road ? Why every one knows
that it would create a competition
market. We would not be obliged to
depend entirely upon one market, or
if we had to ship our wheat to an
Eastern market, be compelled to pay
half what it is worth for freight be
fore we could reach water transports
alton, for we would then be as near
Lake Superior as Lacrosse is to MIL
waukee. Every bushel Of wheat we
raise would be worth from 20 to Is
cents more than it would be with
out the road. Another item, and a
very important one in building up a
new country, would be cheaper lum~
Der. With one of the finest water
powers in the State at Little Falls and
the vast pine lands of the upper Mis-
sissippi pouring their wealth into the
streams above, is it not natural to sup
pose that We can get lumber delivered
here cheaper than it can be afforded
in Minneapolis =?
What is true of our own village and
vicinity is equally true Of every town
and county along the whole line of
this road. It traverses one of the fin
est sections of Minnesota, and the bus
moss of the road would be paying
one from the start. We expect to see
every one lending helping hand to
this enterprise as nothing was ever
started before that would benefit our
whole community as this. The argus
ments in its favor are many and conclu~
sive and cannot be overcome. The
prosperity of our town is fixed beyond
peradventure as soon as this road is a
fixed fact, and We believe that it is
sure to be built.

= Cost Of Building Railroads.

. CoSt or Building Railroads.
The Railway Gazette states that the
"Chatsworth Branch" Of the Illinois
Central railroad, constructed last fall
cost only SIS, 100 per mile, This in>::
cludes everything but the rolling stock,
The road is over a Rat prairie, and a.
saving of about 81 $40 per mile was
made by using old rails instead Of new;
ones. If new material had been used,
the road would have cost $4,000 per
mile. The cost of building railroads
is now about as low as it ever will be,
perhaps lower than 1t will be ten years
hence. Persons who invest in rail-
road stock can now do so with the as
surance that their stock will not depre-
ciate by general falling market, and
that the tendency Of the times will be
toward appreciation. The project now
on foot to build the Little Falls 4 Da~
kota railroad is especially opportune
in this respect. The cost of the road,
exclusive of rolling stock, cannot ex~
coed $1,000 per mile, under proper
management. The distance from Lit
tie Falls to Morris is only about
eighty>ive miles on direct line. IF
means can be provided to construct
and equip the road to Morris, no anx>
iety need be felt as to the ability Of
the company to extend the road fur
Their. The bonuses that'wi1l be given
by the towns and the counties along
the line together with an investment
Of 100000 will fully construct and
equip the road to Morris, including a
bridge across the Mississippi river at
Little Falls. In securing capital to
accomplish this, the probable earnings
of the road, and the circumstances and
conditions under which it will be ope-
rated will be carefully examined. The
annual interest at seven per cent on q
investment of 100000 on the road
from Little Falls to Morris would
amount to $3.50 per mile. Capitalists,
before loaning money in aid of the
scheme, would consider the probability
of the earnings of the road over ope~
rating expenses being sufficient to en-
able the company to pay promptly all
accrulng interest and provide for the
payment of the principal. During the
year ending on the 30th day of June
last the earnings per- male, over ope~
rating expenses, was as follows for the
following named roads:
St. Paul O. Pacific, Main Line .......... $1,143
81 raul q Pacific, Branch Line.......... 2,415
st. Paul d Sioux City ..........."......... 1901
southern Mlnnesota.......:.......... 2,943
Western Brainerd Branch) about 500
month for the u months it had
been in operation.
Northern Pacifc...... 1923
None Of the above named loads
form important connections with east.
ern lines, but traversing as they do
rich agricultural districts their incomes
are very liberal, hasing an estimate on
the present cost of building roads,
which is hardly more than one>third
of the cost few years ago. Some Of
the railroads in Minnesota are not
making as much as those named above,
but in each case the failure of the
road to make good showing is due
to obvious reasons, none of which
would apply to the proposed Little
Falls and Dakota road.
