sofa and Northwestern Iowa which has
line of the Minneapolis & st. Louis was
from Minneapolis though much nearer this
city than Chicago. 1t was traversed from
| east to west by Chicago lines but had lit
tie direct connection with Minneapolis.
Rates and time cards favored the city
by the lake. Into this country the main
line of the Minneapolis & St. Louis was
for time about the only direct route.
| Then the New Ulm- Omaha line of the
same company was opened giving new ac-
cess. But still there are many points
which have very poor facilities for reach
| ing Minneapolis.
| Through this territory the Burlington,
Cedar Rapids & Northern extends from
Albert Lea to Sioux Falls. II the Burling-
ton, Cedar Rapids Northern builds
direct from Albert Lea to Mortified and
Faribault it will have an almost air line
| to Albert Lea. From the latter point
there was built last year cut-of line
southwest to Germania, Iowa, where con-
nection was made with an existing east
and west line. The company could have
had no other purpose in building this cut
off than that of doing business between
these southwestern points and MinneapO-
| lis and st. Paul. A very hasty perusal Of
the map leads to this conclusion newt
ably.
From Albert Lea westward there are
about $50 miles of road which will be
! open to twin city traffic by the COM
pletion of the line from Faribault into
| the two cities. On these $50 miles OF road
| there are probably fifty stations. Some
4 OF these stations are important towns and
several of the most important will be
made competing points by the new road
/ Shippers and merchants will appreciate
| the advantage of having two railroads
! direct from Minneapolis into such places
as Albert Lea, Germania, Estherville. Sib-
| ley, Worthington. Rock Rapids. Pipe
stone, Luverne and Sioux Falls. These
are the towns which are reached by other
| lines.
But between Albert Lea and Germania
are "A miles with several new and other
wise inaccessible towns; between Ger
| meania and Estherville there comes an
other stretch OF SO miles with half q
| dozen good towns; west Of Estherville
there is reach of so miles to the cross
| ings of the Omaha at Worthington and
| Sibley with bunch Of excellent towns,
including the famous resort of Spirit
Lake. The whole country along this
Iowa Minnesota border is an exceptionally
rich one and its trade is priced by Min
business to be had in the two-score places
! which have now no direct connection with
Minneapolis, to make the B., G. r. & N.
worth going after. if there are no other
| reasons.
| Should the B., C. R. & N. build first into
st. Paul the people coming in on the pas
senger trains will naturally alight at that
place, and the iobbers and commission men
Of st. Paul will have great advantages in
handling goods to and from points along
| the line.
! With the exception of the New Ulm
branch Of the NJ. & St. L. road. Mime
apoIis has not had a railroad proposition
of such value before her in a decade.

What is the use of taking so much
trouble to secure the Burlington, Cedar
Rapids & Northern for Minneapolis" was
asked the other day.
The asking of this question shows that
there are still some people who have not
looked at the matter from all sides; and
1T is fair to assume that many of those
who have taken an active interest in pro-
noting the direct entrance" movement
have not fully considered the benefits to
Minneapolis which may obtain through
acquiring this railroad.
1t is largely matter of geography and,
| consequently, a rough map of the parts
of the B., G. R. & N. in which Minneapolis
is interested, is presented herewith.
There are two principal reasons why
Minneapolis wants the B., c. R. & N:
First-It is a part of the great "Rock
Island" system, and will bring this city
| into the same relations with that system
which have been enjoyed through the
Minneapolis G st. Louis railroad
Second-The B., G. r. & N. occupies a
region southwest of Minneapolis which
| this city is most anxious to reach and
| trade with
| Either of these reasons is sufficient to
warrant Minneapolis in keeping up the
| fight for three years." as one Of the
! Commercial Club men proposed if such
| time should be necessary to accomplish
| the object.
What Connection With the Rock
Island Means.
| 1t is plain that when the B., C. r. & N
enters either Minneapolis or st. Paul di-
| rect 1t will at once abrogate the traffic
| arrangements with the NJ & St L. which
have existed for so long a time These
arrangements have been so perfect thai
the ordinary traveller to Chicago over the
ALBERT Lea" route does not know wher
he leaves the M. & St. l.. for the B., C. R.
& n. at Albert Lea, or when his train
actually rolls on to the "Rock Island
rails at West Liberty, Iowa. Through
| this long established Arrangement Min
neapolis has enjoyed excellent facilities
for reaching long list of towns on the
B., c. r. & n. stretching away from Albert
Lea to Burlington, distance of 314 miles
as we'll as with other places on branch
| lines in Iowa and the cities of Davenport
Rock Island and Moline on the "Rock
| Island"
The towns along the Burlington, Cedar
Rapids Northern include Northwood.
! Rockford, Shell Rock, Waverly. Cedar
Falls, Waterloo, vinton, Cedar Rapids.
! and many lesser places
From Burlington south there has long
been through line to st. Louis touching,
en- route Quincy, Hannibal Keokuk and
Alton. This, by the way, is the most di-
rect route from Minneapolis to st. Louis.
Through the Rock Island" Peoria is
reached over a branch from the CITY of
Rock Island.
The foregoing facts, which might be
elaborated by many details, should make
it plain that through the Burlington, Ce-
dar Rapids & Northern, Minneapolis
will have continued access to some of the
best parts of Iowa, maintain an estab-
llshed route to Chicago and Peoria, and
retain the shortest line to st. Louis.

THE AGE OF THE BIG TREES.
Companion

An age as great as 5000 years has some
times been ascribed to the giant trees OF
California. Professor Charles E. Bessey
of the University Of Nebraska, regards
this estimate as very much exaggerated.
He says that he once counted with great
care the rings of growth of a tree felled in
1853 and which was fully "a or 25 feet
in diameter, so that its stump served as
the floor of dancing pavilion. The rings
numbered 1.147. and that number would
represent the age of the tree in years.
Professor Bessey adds that he gravely
doubts whether any of the existing trees
approach the age of 1000 years.

EAGLE KILLED BY A FERRET
Thought 1t Was His Prey, but the
Mistake Was Fatal.

Denver Republican.
Mountain eagles are reported to be
swarming on the Tomichi, near Gunni-
son, feasting on the thousands of rab-
bits driven into the valley by the snow in
the mountains and foothills. The ranch
men fear that the ravenous hunger Of the
eagles will tempt them to attack human
beings.
One of the eagles met its match a few
days ago. Ferrets have been brought into
the valley to kill rabbits. This particular
eagle swooped down upon ferret The
ferret caught the eagle by the throat and
the bird few far into the air. Only a
few moments elapsed when the eagle came
tumbling down. The ranchman who had
watched the mid-air battle ran over to
the fallen bird and found it dead. The
ferret had bitten through the throat and
was still clinging to the bird.
Tom Holland, superintendent of fish
cries, said the other night that the eagles
were providing good sport for ranchmen,
and that several large ones had been
brought down with guns in the hands of
ranchmen in the valley.
