New Railroads in Wisconsin.

The outlook for the coming season is
very promising for Northern Wiscon-
sin, and it is more than probable that
before another winter, two, and per-
haps three, railroads will traverse sec
tons of this portion of the state, and
connect growing and thriving cities
and towns and aid materially in bring
ing up the New Wisconsin.
There will be considerable work
done on the Minneapolis and Sault Ste
Marie road which is destained to open
up that section across Northern Wis
consin from Minneapolis through to
the northern part of Michigan. This
road will traverse section that is still
untouched by civilization except in
places where thriving cities and towns
have grown up alongside the Milwau-
kee, Lake Shore & Western, Wiscon-
sin Central and St. Paul, Minneapolis
& Omaha roads. Between these roads
lie rich tracts of land covered with
superb forests of pine and hardwoods
that only await the woodlands ak and
the husbandman's toll to be transform
ed into blooming gardens of wealth.
This road will unite the northwest
with the timber region of Wisconsin
and Michigan furnishing an outlet for
lumber of the great timber belt of the
north.
Wausau, that thriving and progress
i've city and metropolis Of the north,
will, it is expected, be connected d.
rectly with Stevens Point, by a new
railroad, the Stevens Point, Wausau &
Northern line, which will make an
other outlet for the lumber along the
Wisconsin river. The extention of the
St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha line
from Neilsville through to Wausau, is
still being agitated, and it is not un-
likely that the work will be common
ced this season, thus opening up new
route to the southwest for Northern
Wisconsin. The Wausau people are
awakening to the Importance of secur-
ing these proposed lines.
The Wisconsin Central is arranging
to build line from Abbotsford to Mer-
rill, the growing young city at the
northern terminus of the Valley divis-
ion of the Chicago. Milwaukee & st.
Paul road, and it is thought certain
that this line will be built during this
season.
The Chicago and Northwestern COM
pany is arranging to extend their line
from Iron River through, northwestern
ly, to Watersmeet to connect with the
Milwaukee, Lake Shore & Western, or
to continue in it's own hook to tap the
iron mines on the Gogebic range.
These several railroad projects are
all well-de6ned and majority of them
are already under way. There are
other schemes which may mature dur
ing the season and assist in giving
Northern Wisconsin additional trans
portation facilities. The outlook in
this growing portion of the state is in
deed promising Oshkosh Times.
