dark green, and on the walls are framed
pictures of the supreme officers.
The reception room and parlor, which
adjoins the hall, is in blue with trim
Inings to match, while the hallway is ii,
ired. The Maccabees are contemplating

4 N[N D[[IIR|I ROAD||
Local and Eastern Capitalists Plan.
ming an Important Project For
narshalltown.
Propose to Build an Electric Line
to Dunbar Thru Quarry and
LsGrand.
This Would Give Another Connec.
tion With Milwaukee Backers
In Earnest

Altho nothing definite has az yet been
given out by parties interested. It is
learned thru a source that is considered
reliable that Marshalltown capitalists,
aided by monied men outside 81 the
city, are interested in project to build
an electric line from this city to Dun
bar, a little town between Gilman and
LeGrand, located In the southeastern
part Of of the county and just west OF
the Tama county lire. The town is the
first station on the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul railroad east of Pickering,
and is the center OF a thickly populated
Norwegian settlement, known as
Stayenger settlement.
The proposed line is to reach Dunbar
via Quarry and LeGrand, the first two
stations east OF Marshalltown on the
Northwestern road. Out of each OF
these stations there is considerable
shipping done, notably the products Of
the LeGrand Quarry Company, from
Quarry, and that of the Hammond
mills at LeGrand. 1t is proposed to run
trains over the line similar to those
carried over the Mason City-Clear Lake
railway. of sufficient size to carry
freight and express business and mail.
The motor cars are to be Of sufficient
power to move loaded freight or fiat
cars from the quarries and mills. deliv-
ering them to the Milwaukee road and
in turn to receive freight from the Mil
Yaukee for transfer to other roads out
OF Marshalltown.
The deal is an important one and if
carried thru, and 1t is thought the pros
poets are good that it will be, will
prove an excellent thing for Marshall
town, principally because 1t Will give
the city another direct connection with
the Milwaukee road, something that
has been regretted by both the city and
the railway company ever since the
road was built few miles south and
yet not touching the town. 1t is
thought the Milwaukee people are in
tending to do all in their power to push
the project along and II may be possi-
bic that in special cases, in event Of
excursions to Marshalltown, etc, pas
senger. trains could be run over the
electric line via Dunbar.
Those who have the project in charge
expect to have their plans entirely de-
stermined upon4this winter and the work
of building the line will begin early
next year.
