considerable addition to the mileage
of the Milwaukee road in Iowa next

ed to provide the company with sec
ond main line across the state. run
ming from Duluth, st. Paul and Mime

of new road, but by the construction
the company will have provided the
shortest line between the cities to the
north and Kansas City. 1t is intended
to build about thirty miles of road

line.
