is rumored that the kickapoo Valley
/ u Northern railroad, which runs
northward from Wauzeka,. "a small
Wisconsin river station on Prairie
du CHEN division of the Chicago
Milwaukee IL st Paul railroad, has
passed under the control of the LII
inois Central company, and that the
kiekapoo Valley road will be the
connecting link in new route that
will extend to st. Paul and Minnea-
polls. The residents of Bloominptou
and Grant county have tried MANY
times to have a railroad put through
that section, and the proposed Wis
| consin southern line from Cassvillp.
to Madison was projected for that
purpose. Negotiations between the.
Illinois Central and the Blooming
ton residents will probably bring the.
| line through their town. The pro-
posed extention will probably take
in bloomington, Lancaster, Platte
vile and Halle Green, and strike the
main line at Galena or Dubuque.
