Alalroad from Fargo northwest through
Arthur, Clifford to Sherbrooke, then to Michi.
gan City and on to Brandon OH the Canadian
Pacific, can be built through most paying
tributary country. 1t is almost an air line,
but few bridges aud light grades. Tho coun-
try is we'll settled, the farmers need the road
aud will contribute right Of way and some
grading. This line would probably strike Ar
thur, Clifford, Sherbrooke, Michigan City In
Nelson county, and so on north. A branch
from about Arthur via Page or Colgate to
Cooperstown aud then west to the Missouri
river would be splendid feeder and help Far
60 amazingly. This road can be built II half
dozen men in Fargo organize to do it.-EIrqo
