There is a project on foot for the
construction, py the Minneapolis Street
Railway company, of an electric rail
way line between this city and St.
Paul. An enterprise Of this kind will,
no doubt, be appreciated not only by
the mercantile community of the twin
cities, but also by the working, classes

and we trust no barriers will be placed
in the way of the enterprise. The fare
is to be placed at the nominal figure of
ten cents each way.
