Passing through Chokio last week,
we noticed with surprise the very
great progress that town is making
and were astonished that no depot
facilities were afforded. We think
that united and vigorous effort ON
the part of the citizens with the rail
road company would bring what
must certainly be badly needed,
a depot and an agent. The town has
got Il fair start and is of sufficient
importance as a freight point to
warrant depot facilities, and we think
by spring proper effort will secure
them.
