ance 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 eixty-fve 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 incalcUiable.
