stiating for the purchase of the Des
Moines Short Line with a view to
building an extension and using the
link as a new short cut between ST.

with much amusement here as it is re-
garded as hot air story without. the
slightest foundation. The officials of
the Des MONIES Short Line, when shown
the article, stated emphaticaliy that
there was not word of truth in the
story, as no representative of the Great
Western had preached the subject all
luded to. The article stated that the
line would be built to Hampton and
then northwest to Thornton to connect
with the recently absorbed Mason City
and Fort Dodge. This would make
two angles in the line and would take
more mileage than to run direct to
Mason City. 1t is currently reported
here that the road SO much sought by
other lines may maintain Its tndepen-
