winona, Mimi, FEB. 17.-Right- OF way
men are being sent out this week on tne
proposed line of electric railway TO pc
constructed between Winona and Rush
ford. The surveys for the line were made
last fall and these have since been gone
over by experts, who it is understood
have declared the construction to be en-
tirely efasible. It is now said the carry
ing out of the enterprise depends on
whether the right Of way can be secured
at rea sonable figures If the prices asked
are exhorbitant the project will be
abandoned It is expected that much OF
the right of way will be donated, the
farmers being glad to grant it for the priv
ilege Of having the line run through their
farms, affording them, easy. means of go
ing to and from Winona and taking
freight as well. The report that line
| would be built from here to Galesville the
coming summer is entirely talk.
