This Fargo Southern is an important link
in the connection of any road that pro-
poses to course the Red river valley to a

Milwaukee road will want it to complete
its line from Sioux City, and if Mr. Blair
yet contemplates securing his share Of
these valleys traffic, that is the first step
to take even at this late day, as he can
not get hold of any other line at the south
ern end of the route He may have pur-
chased it to connect only with the Dakota
Central, which is one branch of the G. &
