The Denison review., 1899-08-29


effected and that change of control
will thereby be brought about.
What 1t Would Mean.
Such deal would be greatly to the
advantage of both roads. The Illinois
Central would be given an access to a
territory rich in traffic which it does
not now touch; would get fine termi-
nails in Minnesota's twin cities, Minne-
a2olis and st. Paul, and would prac-
tically have a through line from Du-
luth to the Gulf of Mexico. All that
would be required to form the connec-
tion between the two systems would be
the construction of a few miles of road
from Lyle, Minn., which is the Illinois
Central's present northern terminus, to
Albert Lea, Mimi, where the Mime.
apolis u st. Louis now runs.
In railroad and financial circles it is
thought that the purchase or lease of
the Minneapolis & ST. Louis by the Hi.
nois Central is more likely than the ar
rangement of traffic alliance
The M. & st. l.. now runs to Fort
Dodge and the Fort Dodge & Omaha
would furnish connection link for a
through connection between .Omaha
and st. Paul and Minneapolis by one of
the shortest possible lines. This would
cheaper the cost of lumber and open
up new market for grain in Duluth
via the great lakes. From its location
midway between Council Bluffs and
Ft. Dodge, Denison will doubtless be
made freight division. Hurrah for
DenisOn.

From the Arion Herald we clip the
following in regard to our Sand: :" The
Denison band, by the way, was one of
the best features of the days enter.
tainment They were by far the best
band on the grounds. Denison can be
justly proud of it's band, as we do not
believe there is an amateur organiza'
tion of its kind in the state that is its
equal"
