WILL HUSTLE FOR THE ROAD.
Little Falls Business Men to Make
Overtures for Alphabet"
From Tuesdays Daily.

A special meeting of the Commercial
club of Little Falls was held Friday
evening to consider plans for securing
an extension of the new Duluth, ST.
Cloud, Glencoe & Mankato road, known
as the Gal phabet'', to Little Falls. The
new line will cross the Mississippi with
in a radius of forty miles from that
city and Little Falls will make a strong
bid for station on the road. 1t is be-
lieved the officials can be induced to
run the line to Little Falls on the west
side of the river by crossing the Mis-
sissippi and extending the line north
west of Duluth.
If the road accepts the proposal of
the city, the extension will run through
the heart of the country which is right
ly called the "breadbasket of Morrison
county," tapping the fertile farms and
wbea fields of the eastern portion. A
circumstance regarded as favorable to
the plan is the annual volume of freight
tonnage shipped from Little Falls, which
is greater in amount than that of any
city in this vicinity.
A resolution was unanimously adopt
ed authorizing the presidentaof the club
to appoint a committee to take up the
matter with the road. President Moy
er will announce his decision later.
