ROAD, DULUTH AND
MINNEAPOLIS.

Prominent interests in the West are
arranging for the organization of
company to build a third-rai electric
railway between Duluth and Mime
apolis. The plans of the promoters
have progressed so far that the state
ment has been made that the Mime
sofa Central Railway Company has
been selected..as the title of the new
company. AS at present outlined the
road will be standard gage, 1875 miles
long, or II miles shorter than the
Great Northern or Northern Pacific
lines, between the points, named.
The new line, with its shorter haul
between the cities and the advantage
that will accrue to it from the use Of
electricity, is expected to be formid-
able competitor Of both steam lines
mentioned. Among those reported to
be interested in the company are {:
John J. allen, J, mist, of Mime
apolis, and F. B. Rossom, Of Virgin
ia, prominent in iron land matters on
the Mesaba.
