Frederick c. L. Hunt of Minnea-
polls. chief engineer of the Minpeapo-
lis, Rochester & Dubuque Railroad
company was here the first of the
week interviewing few of our
townsmen. If he finds there is bust
ness enough done here to warrant a
change in their route, he will I'M
doubtedly endeavor to run the line
through Ridgeway. Although we do
not believe an electric line the best
thing for Ridgeway, we do believe
that both the town and the company
will be better off to have the line
running through Ridgeway than to
have it running mile north OF it as
is shown on the blue print of the
proposed line. Mr.. Hunt tells us that
it makes no difference where the blue
print of the road shows it will run,
as they intend TO run the road where
they can pick up the greatest amount
of business. For a small town Ridge
way is an unusually good shipping
point and there is no doubt but what
the electric line Will want us on the
map.
