Lake are using all honorable influences

A RAILROAD RACE.
In our railroad article last week we
spoke of the race between the B. G. r.
& n. and the T. & n. W. It appears
that the former is a Rock Island inter-
est and consequently rival of the
Northwestern. The Sioux City Journ-
al of Sunday last says:
The Rock Island failed in finding a
route for road west between the North
western and the Central, and is now
working up local aid for a line that is
to run west through the north tier of
Iowa counties. under the name of the
Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern.
The right of way agent Of the company
was at Webster City last week on his
| way to this proposed line.
But on this, rs on the Lake City line,
Manager Merrill proposes to lie there
first. AS heretofore mentioned, the
Northwestern had last fall had survey
| made and maps prepared of this line
through the north tier of counties.
The line that is now ironed almost to
Algona is being pushed toward the
Minnesota line as fast as Manager HUI
ghitt can push it.. by the time the Bur-
lington. Cedar Rapids & Northern, alias
the Rock Island. gets the local aid ques-
/ tion ready to submit, the graders of the
Northwestern will be building a branch
from the Algona line west through the
north tier. Manager Hughitt naturally
feels provoked that the road thought to
he secured should slip through his fin
gers. lie has had one revenge in head
ing off his successful rival by building
the Lake City line, and will have his
second satisfaction in again heading
that rival off from the north tier coun-
try.
The Pioneer Press, of Tuesday, con-
tanned the following special from Chi
60:
CHICAGO, May 30.-Surveyors are
running preliminary line for the Bur-
lington, Cedar Rapids Il Northern rail-
road. This road has pushed prelimina-
~ surveys from Clarion, Wright coun-
ty, Iowa. to intersect the St. Paul &
Sioux City at or near Worthington.
This is enterprising. The Pioneer
Press could have had that FIVE or six
days sooner Ivy looking at last week s
! ADVANCE.
The W0rthington ADVANCE is highly
elated over the fact that surveying
corps of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids
& Northern railroad has arrived there
having surveyed a line which that
company proposes to build. The AD-
VANCE also has advices that the Tole-
do Il Northwestern is also pointing in
that direction, and that the Milwaukee
& st. Paul have serious intentions in
the same way. From these facts the
ADVANCE argues that Worthington is
destined to be the railroad centre of the
southwest. We hope this expectation
may he realized, and that Worthington
will grow to be great commercial CEN
