Special to Times Republican.

Special to Times republican
Webster City, Oct 25.-The gypsum
mill owners of Fort Dodge are pro-
noting an electric line from Fort
Dodge to pass thru Webster City.
There Is good ground for believing
that the project Will be an accom-
plished fact within the near future. a
Webster City man. who was in Fort
Dodge the other day was shown the
plans and specifications of the propos-
ed road and the plan was explained
in detail to him. The promoters
have thus far kept their project close
ly to themselves and few people even
in Fort Dodge even know OF the plan.
The gypsum mills in Fort Dodge are
largely owned by the United States
Gypsum Company. 1t is this corpora-
ton that is behind the plan and it was
one OF the officers of this concern who
showed the plans and specifications to
Il Webster City gentleman the other
day. The Cyl IN mills in Fort Dodge
have been trying for many years to
get connections with the Northwestern
railroad They have done the larger
part of their business with the Rock
island but recently the branch of this
road which runs thru Fort Dodge
vas purchased by the Minneapolis d
st. Louis road and has now passel
under the control of the latter. Cut Oft
from the Rock Island, the gypsum in
terests are now seeking a better outlet
for their shipping. 1t Is given out
that the proposed electric road from
Fort Dodge thru Webster City to
Iowa Falls is for the purpose Of gain
ing this outlet. In this city the COM
pany gain access 70 the Northwestern
line and at Iowa Falls with the Rock
island. The proposed line will be
about thirty-five miles in length. 1t
would be of much advantage to this
city and Webster City people will hope
that nothing will interfere with the
carrying out of the project.
