Extension of the Old G. l. & M.
Northwest From Alden Now
Seems Probable
SPECULATION AS TO OWNERSHIP
Believed That the Northwestern Has
Secured an Option on the Right of
Way-Porters Will Put in a Few
Miles of Road This season-News of
the Day.

Iowa Falls Aug. Tt Isl now gener-
ally believed that the recent activity
on the railroad extension northwest
from Alden is the result Of a desire to
hold the right-of-way secured some
years ago with the idea of building the
Chicago, Iowa & Minnesota road north
the company from carrying out it's
plans and very little grading was done
on the right way secured at that
time. AS the time limit In such cases
is eight years, it became necessary to
grade the right-of-way in order to pre-
vent its reverting to the or ginal owners
Of the land. While it is conceded the
Porters of Eldora, who are now in
charge of the grading are working in
oependently of any railroad company
1t is believed these promoters of this
enterprise have secured options on the
right of way contracts AMI by building
the grade can hold 1t and later sell out
to the Chicago & Northwestern which
1t is understood will eventually extend
the old c. ]. & D. now operated by the
former road to a point in northern
Iowa. This naturally causes specula-
ton as to what point in the northern
part of the state the new line would
tap. If the c. & ~ w. builds the extern
sion 1t will probably be either Burt or
Eagle Grove and on the other hand,
should the porrerS h,iId 5p5apanSaptl,.
1t is likely to run to either Clear LAX.
or Britt The Porters admit they will
put in three miles of road this season
but beyond that distance no hint is
given Of the probable route of the line.
