Cherokee Times, "a: Now that the Chero-
kee and Sioux Valley Railroad company
| have taken action and the matter is def
nitely before the public, it is to be hoped
that the people along the line, and especi-
ally the citizens of Cherokee, will wake to
the Importance OF rendering all the assist
snce possible to the project. The proposed
road will not only give Cherokee merchants
an opportunity to ship and receive freights
over three trunk lines, but will also be
about sixty-hve miles the shortest route
from Council Bluffs to st. Paul. But more
yet. The road will tap the Union Pacific
at Fremont, Neb., and the advantages of
such road are incalcUlable.
