NORTHWESTERN TALKS EX-
TENSION THROUGH SHEBoYGAN

ShebOygan, Wis, Aug. 20.-It is re-
ported on satisfactory authority that
the Northwestern road is contemplate
ing the building OF an extension from
ManitOwoc to FOnd du Lac by way OF
Chiffon and that the proposed new
branch VIII be IN operation no later
than next winter. IL is further report
ed that the sO-called Northeastern
company which intended TO build an
electric line in practically the same di-
recuOn has given up its plans, the pro-
meters receiving a consideration Tor
so doing. The Elkhart Lake interur-
ban, which is building to this city by
the way OF Plymouth, is in receipt OF
twelve carloads OF steel rails which
are said to have been furnished by the
st. Paul road. Ii this rumOr has any
foundation 1t seems that the two COM
paCies are again fighting each other
Tor the business originating in this
section as they did a Few years ago
when a truce was patched up only
alter the Northwestern threatened TO
bring competition to the st. Paul In
the Commerce street district, Milwau-
kee, a method which brought the st.
Paul to time so that it gave up its pro-
posed extension from Random Lake TO
this city, surveys for which had al
ready been taken. For some time past
1t has been minated that the St Paul
road was behind the Elkhart Lake
electric line, intending 10 use it as a
convenient feeder. This line has
asked this city for another extension
from September 1 to January 1, 1904.
This will probably be the last extern
sion necessary.
