other railroad is waiting for the city
to extend welcome, land receive the
benefits which would come from
practically an air line from this city
to the head of the lakes through the
very finest land in the northwest

marvellous rate and at the same time

process of settlement to pay large
dividends on a reasonable amount
of capital. And this is no visionary
scheme or paper railroad either, but
matter-of-fact affair, a railroad can
be built at reasonably low cost and
for which not only the right of way
can be secured for practically no.

route will contribute literally of

construction. At the present time
