Gen. Alger informed the Post and
Tribune that "it was the original in
tention to halt the trains on the east
side of the Rifle river, using what is
known as Moffat's bridge for trans
fer purposes until such time as the
new structure is finished. but the pro-
ject of staying the Mofat bridge, lay
ing temporarily and completing the
connection with the Mackinac Divi-
sion was favorably considered. The
bridge now standing is only about 200
feet from the site of the new bridge
and could be utilized in the manner
proposed at very little expense. The
Importance of this road not only be-
cause of the immense freight traffic
which it will inevitably do, but as a
means to the development of the
country which it opens up, can scarce
ly be over estimated. Railroad COM
munication is what the shore people
have been eagerly seeking during the
past few years, and If their liberality
is at all commensurate with their
in this project, next seaso n
will see the line completed to Alpena,
giving direct communication with De-
,roit and all intermediate points"
