political parties with which he was want

sofa and Also Enrich Its
Promoters.

New YORK, Nov. "A new railroad
project is on foot that will create a SEN
sation throughout Minnesota. Duluth
will probably wear a feather in her cap
when it is known that John D. Rookie
teller is to extend the Duluth, Missabe
and Northern railroad straight west from
Columbia junction for a distance of 240
miles to reach the Red river valley at
Moorhead. The road will probably be
built north clear to the Canadian line,
paralleling the Great Northern. These
facts are known in financial circles and
can be relied upon. 1t is no dream of a
prospective enterprise that has nc
financial backing, but the resolution Of
John d. Rockefeller coming through nc
less an authority than Colgate Hoyt.
Will Reach the Wheat Fields.
The new railroad will be almost a
straight line from the wheat fields to
Duluth as the nearest lake port. The
immense wheat crop of the present sea-
son has spurred the Standard Oil mag.
nate to a desire that a direct line be.
tween the wheat fields and the head OF
the lake would bring in more money
than any other investment. 1t is freely
discussed that the new railroad can be
built for $4,000 a mile up the Red
river valley, and its earning capacity as
the only direct line for the wheat traffic
would be such that it would soon be-
come one Of the most valuable railroad
properties in the world.
h Country 1t VIII, Traverse.
A description of the country through
which the new road will pass has VOL
derful a~llurements. 1t will first reach
the rich iron country, where the ore is
almost inexhaustible and where the
mines are to be extensively worked next
season. Passing west it will cross a
forest Of virgin pine around Leech
lake. The iron, the timber and the
wheat, reaching the head Of the lakes
by an air line, will develop the northern
part of Minnesota and virtually make
fortunes for those who carry out the
project. The construction of the road
will be begun early in the spring.
