ARE AGAIN PUSHING THE ROAD.
La Crosse & Southeastern Railway is Being Re.
vived.

| We take the following from the La
| Crosse Chronicle of yesterday:
The building of the La Crosse 6s
Southeastern road is practically as
sured bur there are three conditions
which ust be met, one by the common
council ct the city of Lacrosse. one by
tha :ssIdents of the town of Hamburg
and another by the people of Coon
Valley. To secure the completion of a
project which will work marked bene-
fits to entire community adjacent to the
route of the proposed road and TO the
towns and cities which will be made
commercial points on the line, the COM
mon council must grant an extension
of time on the existing franchise and
the towns of Coon Valley and Hamburg
must grant an extension of time and
vote the $40, 600 bonds.
All details with the exception of these
in connection with the building of the
road, which is TO run between La Crosse
and Viroqua, are completed, and in the
event of the successful elimination Of
the important issues, the operations
will be commenced on the first of June
and hurried t0 completion.
Mayor Coffiand addressed meeting
of the citizens of the town of Coon,
Monday afternoon. The meeting had
been called to consider a proposition of
the La Crosse q Southeastern Railway
company, proposing to go ahead and
construct the road if the towns of
Coon and Hamburg would vote an ex-
tension for one year for the bonds here
tofore voted by these towns.
The meeting was well attended and
the interest intense The meeting was
also addressed by Rev. Roolkvan, L. o.
Brye of the town of Hamburg, John
Jacobson and Helge Larson. 1t seems
hardly possible that those towns will
miss the opportunity of having this en-
terprise completed in the near future by
refusing this request We are reliably
! informed that if this extension is not
| granted the company will not proceed
any further. Certainly those towns
cannot let this opportunity for railroad
escape them by reason of the small
amount of aid requested. The great
| danger lies in the fact that some have
| gotten the idea that the road will be
completed even if the aid is not granted
lGfhis will not do TO rely upon. Oppor'
tunities for railroads do not come very
often and the way to do is to grasp snt
f. opportunity when offered. Take M
| chances of any uncertainties but MAKE
! sure Of it in the way it is offered, which
in this instance seems perfectly fair
