NElF NORTHWEs7ERNLI LINES ly1IV,
The movements of tie Northwest
crn's Toledo branch are sIch as indi-
cate change Of front recently. n few
weeks ago there was a general forward
movement All alGng the line. The grad
ing JOBS were let Oh the extension west
to AXE City III Calhoun county, and on
The branch north to Webster City. It
was given out that the work north of
Webster City to Algona would be push
ell at once. and that other branches
were to be built from this Algona line.
Then the men who were working up aid
north Of Algona were called in, and as
far as can be learned no grading has
been let beyond Webster City. About
the time the Algona line was having its
boom, a. contract was let to Lake CITY
forty miles southwest to Harlan. This
Harlan line IS headed directly toward
Council Bluffs, and the plan seems to
have been to push on to that point. But
within the past few days there has been
Il checking up all along the line. The
engineers sent to cross section the work
on the Lake City and Harlan line were
recalled, and just now it looks us if
there would be no grading west Of Lake
City this scason.-SiouX City Journal.

the Chicago Tribune, and engaged in
the very landable undertaking Of writ

copies of the paper to parties, promis-

out in the most attractive manner the
notices, which so pleased the recipients
that they took from twenty to two and
three hundred copies, and paid for them

the paper WAS received the article about
Worthington was only five inches long

ties are too poor" to advertise in their
home papers, but in this instance invest
ed two and three times what such adj
vertising would cost for year. Aver
age "business sagacity' is about the
same at Northington as elsewhere, we
are not surprised at what occurred. and
as such men can only learn by expert
ence, for one we are glad of what occur
