ern ia to BE RcadY.

Des Moines, Aug. sit is announced
definitely that the Marshalltown, Da-
kota Sc Northwestern railroad, which is
now building from Fraser Junction to
iGowrie, will extend It's line early in the
spring from Gowrie to Rockwell City.
While the impression is general in rail-
road circles that this road is being
backed either by the Northwestern or
the Iowa Central, Hamilton Brown and
others who are associated with him in
the enterprise deny the reports and say
that 1T is owned by himself, s. 7. Mes
ervey. of Fort Dodge, and others who
are interested in the development of the
Fraser coal fields and that 1t is being
built wholly for coal traffic and to as
sist in the development of their coal
properties.
| The road when completed will be only
a little over thirty miles long, but as
Ian outlet for coal it will be a superb
1 line and will have more connections
than any line of a similar length in the
state. AT Fraser junction 1t will cons
meet with the Minneapolis & ST. Louis
road north and south; at Gowrie it will
connect with the Ruthven, Fort Dodge
& Sheldon divisions of the Rock Island
Iroad and the Onawa & Neville branches
lof the Northwestern and at Rockwell
lefty it will connect with the Fort Dodge
l& Omaha divisions of the Illinois Cen
/ trail and the Fonda & Spencer and
Rockwell City & Storm Lake divisions
| of the Milwaukee road. Through these
jconnections the Boone county u al field
| will have access to the entire mileage
of the Iowa trunk lines, excepting only
/ the Burlington and the Chicago Great
\ Western.
