Mason City Iowa Aug. 5.-Some are
now advancing he belief that the Des
Moines, Iowa Falls & Northern, ana
the proposed extension of the Great
Western from Waverly to this city, via
Rockford. is all Under one supervision
and that before many months both
these systems will be operating in this
city. The Great Western could utilize
a more direct connection than they
now have with lpes Moines. The Iowa
Falls line would give them just what
they want. Thel Only way they have
OF getting passengers into Des Moines
is by transfer to\ tie Northwestern at
Eagle Grove and this is not a direct
route by any meafs. And they also
want a more diretct route to Chicago
for the Iowa business and they can get
the best there is if they fall into the
possession of the proposed Waverly
extension. w. E. Bcice, who is pro-
noting the Waverpy project in COM
pany with NJ. Cass.} recently of Water

er to secure a tax In aid of the Iowa
Falls line both here and i'm Hampton
The two lines could very easily use
the same trackage into Mason City
The surveys both strike the corporate
limits at practically the same point
and the right of way could easily be
secured and quite cheaply Should
these two roads he hl,iIt ,1rder tbo on
pervision of the Great Western it
would give them three roads to this
city and insure something good.

Traver, whom he had not met for
forty-two years. When Mrs. Traver
