WATERFOWL AND WEBSTER
Farm IS Northwest of
Town Have Organ
lied to Build Il
Railroad.
They Say They Will Secure
Right of Way and Grade the
Road Early This Year

For many years past the farmers
residing in the northwestern part of
this county and in the southern part of
Day county have been DESTROYS of secur-
ing "a railroad. One of the richest Sec
ions in the upper portion of the Sioux
valley lies northwest of WATERFOWL,
No finer section of the Sioux valley can
be found than that which embraces the
townships of Fuller, Dexter and Eden,
through which it is proposed to build a
railroad. Germantown is also Il good
section of county-equal to anything on
the face of the earth. There are also
fine townships, but the ones mentioned
are the only townships i'll the county,
not now lying close to WATERFOWL, that
will be directly affected by the proposed
stretch of railroad for the building Of
which the farmers northwest of Water
town have recently organized.
4 meeting was held at Dexter a few
days ago and an organization perfected.
The company is capitalized at five hun
dred thousand dollars, with Hon. a. G.
Burnstad and several of the other lead
ing farmers in the vicinity of Dexter
and Eden as the chief officers.
A canvass among the farmers devel-
ops the fact that they are all anxious
for a railroad. In fact, they have
claimed it as one of their crying needs
for years past. Many of them are many
miles from a railroad station.
The company proposes to secure the
right of way from Webster to Water
town and to complete the grading of
the proposed road early the present
year-at least, as soon AS practicable.
Mr.. Burnstad, in conversation with a
reporter Friday, said that there is not
the shadow of a doubt about the right
of way and the grading Of the proposed
roadbed This is the first time that the
farmers themselves have taken hold of
this proposition in an organized body.
Several suggestions have heretofore
been made with reference to this move
ment, and several companies have been
formed in days gone by for railroad
projects from Watertown north or
northwest, and even surveys have been
made, but now that the farmers them
selves have got into the harness and
propose not only to procure a right of
way, but also to complete the grading,
there is more tangible evidence than
has heretofore manifested itself that
something will be doing o
Just what there is back of the move-
ment, or who or what company, if any,
stands ready to cooperate, when the
proper time comes, with the farmers in
getting Il railroad into active operation
is a matter that has not yet been
diyulged outside of the circle Of the
local promoters. 1t is surmised, how
ever, based upon the activity of the
farmers themselves and their aeclara-
ton that they are going to have a rail
road, that they have something mp
their sleeve which they have not yet
brought into ight.-Watertown Public
Opinion.
