The Marshall folks are in receipt of
a letter from one of the officials of the
Cannon Valley railroad asking what
aid might be expected if the road
would be built to that place this coming
season. The Messenger says it is pro-
posed to connect with the Minneapolis
St. Louis road 1T Morton and then
push towards the Pacific ocean through
Redwood and Lyon counties. The
Gaylord Register is of opinion that the
connection will be made via lie Sueur
and Gaylord, in which case Mankato
and New Ulm would be left out in the
cold. A survey has just been completed
over this latter route.
