Fort Dodge, Sept. ISM. Fl. Miller,
who has been working on the new IN
terurban line between Fort Dodge ana
Spirit Lake for the past couple OF
months, arrived in the city Monday
evening from Chicago. where he mad
been to consult the men who are back
of the enterprise.
He stated that the preliminary sur
vey has now been completed. and the
right of way secured for the full ITO
miles. while the capital to back the
building of the line is ready and ac-
tive operations will be begun in the
near future. Probably the first work
to be done will be the building OF the
concrete dam across the Des Moines
about eight miles north OF this city,
and this work MIR. Miller feels conf
dent will be completed this winter.
A large tract of land has been pur-
chased by the promoters of the road
at this point, and it is planned to put
i ma large electrical generating plant
here, as well as summer resort or
picnic grounds. The dam will give a
fall of twenty feet, and the backing OF
the water will furnish good boating
for from a mile and half to two
miles. 1t is also stated number OF
Fort Dodge people have expressed
themselves favorable to the idea or
erecting a club house and number
of cottages at this point
Mr.. Miller is confident the line Will
be in operation between Fort Dodge
and Pocahontas before next fall, ana
the entire one hundred and ten miles
will be built and in operation in less
time than has been consumed in the
building of the Fort Dodge, Des
Moines & Southern. The first forty
eight miles after leaving the city
there is comparatively little dirt to DE
moved, and at no point VIII the grade
be over three per cent. All along the
line of the survey the farmers are en-
thusiastic over the proposition and
are subscribing for stock, as we'll as
donating the right of way.
The rev line as planned will cross
q territory. where all steam lines run
east and west, thus obviating compe-
tition and yet connecting with every
trunk line. One Estherville manu-
facturer has figured out that he VIII
save $4,000 year on the cost of hi
coal alone. as soon as the road IS
constructed, while it will mean a say
ing of time and money to the people
who have occasion to visit any of the
surrounding towns, being compelled
at the present time often to travel an
entire day and from seventy to hun
dred miles, in order to get to village
less than score of miles across the
