Sioux City Journal, Aug. 13: The
Charles City Diagonal is now formally be-
fore the public. For the past two years
Capt. F. A. Roziene, of Charles City, has
been working up great line to run from
La Crosse via Charles City to Kansas City.
At meeting held at Charles City on We'd
nesda Capt. Roziene announced TO his CO.
labOrers he had secured backing that
would float enough of the company's
bonds to build the road if satisfactory
subsidies are secured along the line. The
line as now located is through Ackley to
Boone and it is expected that the narrow
gauge between Boone and Des Moines will
be secured to give route into Des Moines.
South of that no route is selected. Who is
backing the Charles City Diagonal is not
dIvulged to the general public. Last fall
Capt. Rosiene endeayOred, without success,
to interest John I. Blair in the project.
That gentleman owns the Green Bay road,
extending from La Crosse to Green Bay.
and would be the natural backer of the
project.
Millbank Grant County Review, 9TH =
On Wednesday morning Mr.. Henry Som
m9rmeyer brought in the news that
large force of railroad surveyors were at
work in the southeastern part of the county
and were securing right of way wherever
they could. He understood that the sur
vey was in the interest of the Minneap-
oils st. Louis road, and that they were
coming west from Redwood Falls. They
had come as far as section 33, town 119,
range ~, but Mr.. Sommermeyer was un-
able to ascertain their destination. Messrs.
Sommermeyer Bros, who are prominent
merchants in this place, own several thou,
sand acres in Grant and Lac eui
PaFle counties. and the sur
vey runs through three miles of
their land. They are endeavoriRg to have
station put in on their place which would
be % miles from Milbank, 18 miles from
Big Stone City, 20 miles from Gary and
"a miles from Watertown. Later infor-
nation lead the Review to believe that it
Is the Minnesota Central and not the Min
neapolis st. Louis that is doing the sur
veying.
