As stated in the lastsissue of this
paper the Chicago & North western
is sure to build its line from Evan
to Marshall by way OF Wabasso.
The statements made in the last
issue were based on the most accur-
ate conclusion of a Well-knoWn rail
road man residing outside Of the
city, and no sooner were they given
publication than did the Northwest
ern officials, in their usual Style,

company. Wherever an extension
is to be made a new company is
formed, and as soon as the line is
completed the old company absorbs

the articles of incorporation the
Marshall News Messenger has the
following:
It seems a sure thing that the
Chicago 81 North western will build
another road into Marshall before

the Redwood branch seven miles
from Sleepy Eye, through Wabasso
on the new branch from San born to
Vesta and into Marshall, as recent
ly surveyed. The surveyors have
been at work since leaving Marshall

1.-THE Northwestern does not gain
much in building the proposed road
from Evan to Marshall and the OBJ
jective point doubtless lies beyond
Marshall. The new line lies through
North western territory and lessons
the distance from Marshall to Slee-
Epy Eye only a few miles, through
securing far better grade, but it
will probably keep the Chicago &
GreatWestern road out of the same
territory as intended by the North
western. With this proposed road
built into Marshall this summer its
continuation to Hendrick KS and furth-

It is difficult to see how Marshall
will derive any benefit from the new
