RAILROAD TALK.
the Proposed Electric Road Up the
Valley Discussed.

Monday Dick kirman spent the day
IN this city. Dc. IS one Of the promo
t2rs CT the proposed railroad up Car
son yaile", and naturally when he
reaches TINS valley is hailed on all
sides with the question::
How about that Valley road?'
The Appeal man did as the others
in town. Dick was asked regarding the
read, and from what he told the re
porter, the people can judge.
'Of course | am Interested in this
proposed read, but just when it will
be built is hard to say. Such projects
that take more cash than l possess, or
in fact, the first promoters, is a big
problem. We have looked over the
ground and can see where the invest
ment would be good one 1t will re-
quire a great deal Of money and this
will have to be raised. We do not in
tend asking the men Of limited means
to subscribe, but there is capital on
| the outside that is looking for just
such a proposition, and we believe
| that the gentlemen will become in
terested sufficiently to back the ven
| ture
Take the Fleisha ckers for instance.
| ugh in yorr city to supply such a road
and they are taking an interest in the
! movement. They are live men and
| have plenty Of money back of them
| to carry out such a project though
| should they take the active hold
AT Dansberg is Ct the same Cpin
ION as myself that the read would
be paving concern and also a gGo6
thing fer the city as Wei as for tho
farmers. as it would enable them ts
get their produce into market III bet
ter condition and cheaper than fregh'
Ing
! AS to when the road is to built
that is a hard question to answer
Several parties are looking over tn:
field with an idea of getting in ant
just the moment the cash is up II.
construction work will commence Tn
building OF ;he road will net require
any special grading. as the cGnntr
traversed is level most Of the va
and none Of the grades will amount t
anything when it comes to cCnstruc
tiCn. We have made calculations O,
the road and the rolling stock re
Quired and as soon as the project re
caiyes the necessary capitalization.
Will be set in motion This is the en-
that is now being arranged. which
generally the first to consider in an
business undertaking"
Mr.. Dangberg was in Carson til
same day and as the two held COZ
sultation, it is believed that the ele
r. tric railroad is the project that is II
