The extension of the Canadian Pacific to
Minneapolis and st. Paul announced eX-
cluSively in yesterdays GLOBE was dis
cussed on all sides yesterday. All agree in
saying that it will boom the Twin Cities
and the entire Northwest Saltwater will
be greatly benefited by the extension in
numerous WAYS. Some of our leading citi-
zens have the utmost confidence i'm the Min
neapolis, Sault Ste. Marie a. Atlantic To
pass through Saltwater. The committee OF
citizens appointed some time ago to see
Gen. Washbum are more than well pleased
with the encouragement he gave them.
When the road is located west Of Turtle
Lake. Saltwater will be visited and will
probably succeed in getting the road. The
road will not be located west of Turtle
Lake for some months yet. and if it should
pass through Saltwater. which many OF
our citizens think it will. il will place our
city on one Of the greatest lines in America.
This would put Saltwater on four different
roads and make the city boom.
