TROLLEY.
LINE FROM MINNEAPOLIS TO
CHICAGO IN INCUBATOR.
Route Is Through Rochester, Preston
and Other Towns in Eastern
Part Of State.

minneapolis, sept. Trolley cOnnec-
ton between Minneapolis and Chicago is
'ieved to be assured by the formation
of a construction company, whose papers
will be filed with the secretary of state
this week, to build the line from Mime
apolis to Dubuque, there to connect with
the Westinghouse line, building from Chi
cago to Dubuque
William Peyton Mason, vino was pies
ident of the San Francisco. Idaho &
Montana road and one of it's principal
organizers, is q promoter of the trolley
company Work will be done under the
charter, filed three years ago in Iowa
and Minnesota, of the Minnesota, Pres
ton, DEBORAH and Iowa road, with $780,
600 capital. Survey work is already un
der way.
Mr.. Mason returned Saturday from a
trip over the right of way of the new
line, and finds that the road can be built
practically without bonds. The cities
along the route are so favorably dis
posed to the new company that they are
offering financial assistance.
Examination of the map will show why
the new trolley line will be great bene-
fit to the twin cities as well as to the
farmers along the route. The prevailing
direction of the railroads in the district
traversed is east and west, thus giving
every advantage to the Chicago market.
The new line will cross these roads, tax
ing almost a bee line for Minneapolis,
and will give several of the counties the
first access they have ever had to the
northern metropolis.
Inasmuch as the new line is to carry
freight as well as passengers, the strong
tendency of the steam lines to discrim-
mate in favor of Chicago will be over
come. The equipment of the line will
be standard, and with the third-rail sys-
TEN and electric engines the efficiency
is expected to be up to that of the steam
lines. Power will be furnished at the
lower end, it is said, by the falls of
the Turkey river, in Clayton county, an
other power plant will be build on the
Iowa river, and at the upper end the
electricity will be secured from one of
the companies which is now Harvesting
the big water powers in Minnesota adj
iacent to Minneapolis.
Survey work on the new line will be
completed this year, and construction
will begin early in 1907. The work will
be done by the Dubuque, Rochester 4
Minnesota Construction company with
headquarters i'm Rochester ond Preston.
The route will be from Fort Smelling,
Transit line, to Hastings, thence in a
straight line to Rochester and through
Preston on the Milwaukee road. The next
large station will be DEBORAH, Iowa, at
the Junction of the Milwaukee and Rock
Island roads. and terminal of both. East
ward the route will go to Waukon,
through Monona, Elkador, Export, Cole
burg and Holy Cross, thence to Dubuque
an entire distance of POS miles.
The Dubuque Chicago line, which is
under direction of John f. Stevens of
Panama canal fame, is understood to be
independent of the Minneapolis line,
which is said to be well backed.

JAMES T. McCLEARY.

JAMES Z. McCLEARY.
Subscribed and sworn to before me
this 10Th day of November, nineteen
hundred and four.
(SeaD j. j. LOMEN,
Notary Public, Ramsey County.
The exact amount expended by Mr..
McCleary and on his behalf to secure
his nomination in the primary election
of 1904, is of course known only to Nc
Cleary and his campaign managers, but
enough is known to prove that the ex-
pense was enormously in excess of the
amount stated in the affidavit above
given and that in making that affidavit
Mr.. James Thompson McCleary must
have deliberately sworn to statement
which he knew to be grossly and shame
fully false.
Proof of this charge is found in facts
of common knowledge.
For instance, it is known that his ex

in which case, of course, they would

From the stories floating around
among the knowing ones, it seems that
there is not the most cordial relations
between Private Secretary Day and
State Boiler Inspector McDermott. What
the cause of the friction is / have been
unable to learn definitely, but the indi-
cations are that Mae is little jealous
of the prestige that MIR. Day seems to
have with the governor. That is at the
bottom of the little unpleasantness that
they had in the Duluth convention last
Saturday. McDermott used the Hearst
followers to make his fight on Day.
The governor is known to be somewhat
disturbed over the situation but he has
taken sides with his private secretary,
and has intimated to some of the lead
ers that he desires Mr.. Day again at
the head of the committee. His wishes
will probably be respected and the oil
