GATHERED In SALTWATER
The Wisconsin Central Preparing to
Enter the Bluff City.
Lily Lake Matinee - Sam judas
Costly Chicken Shoot

1t 1s rumored that the Wisconsin Central is
thinking very seriously Of abandoning that
portion of the road running from New Rich.
mond to the bridge across the St. Croix river,
six miles above Saltwater, and from that
point to st. Paul, and changing the course
and grade of the line. The object is to avoid
SO many sharp grades and curves and reach
saltwater and shorten the route to st. Paul
The increasing business demands the change,
it is stated. From what can be learned, the
company has not decided upon route as yet,
put Will undoubtedly pass near Or through
Saltwater. Rulnor has it that the company
VIII abandon the bridge, which cost $3.50, 900,
and continue on rhe Wisconsin side OF the
lake to. point near the round
house of the Omaha in the ex.
treme southern portion of Saltwater,
and here bridge the lake and locate station
near the round house. and run through Oak
Park to st. Paul From the round house or
Staples's foundry st. Paul could be reached
with very little grading, and as easily as by
the Omaha route. This would be three miles
shorter than by the pr sent route, and would
give the Wisconsin Central folks direct
route to st. Paul, not saying anything about
the saltwater traffic, which the road does not
get now. If the company should decide to
cross above Saltwater and pass throu gh the
city arrangements could be made with the
Transfer company for the trackage. A gen.
trai, VINO was recently here, said that the
officers cocld never understand why they
selected the present expensive route instead
OF passing through Saltwater. A railroad
man stated to the GLOBE representative last
night that the road would have come to Still
water in the first place had not Senator
Sabin. who was managing the Transfer COM
pauy, asked such an extortionate price for
tracka@e over the line of the transfer. Ulti-
natey saltwater will certainly secure this
great line.
