f.! tases Of this new road. which have
been frequently set forth in the AD-
VANCE. 10 say that This is altogether
the most advantageous road wlcl, has
so far pointed in this direction, is to
state the exact truth, as IT gives us our
shortest cut to Chicago, more direct
route ~ st. Louis, gives us !; short line
t. the best coal fields in Iowa and 4
nearly direct line to the lumber and
stock Markets Of Muse ,tine and Cedar
Rapids.
This road moreover will give rs d
| line northwest. as it IS aiming ut the
Northern Pacific country. Within two
years we expect to see Il railroad sta
ton in either Summit Lake or Elk
townships and S ,ne thriving towns
spring up where it crosses the Milwau-
kee AID the Northwestern roads.
Since the above was written, the sur
veyor's have run a preliminary line
int" Wort|inyton from the south,
crossing the Safer place and the rail-
road track and setting stakes along the
lake shore up us far as the wind mill
From here, they went north of town
and began another preliminary line
eastward to run north of the lakes.
