W. II. H. Cash of New Lisbon looked
over this country with the purpose of
considering the advisability of max
ing a railroad proposition. We were
former townsmen of Mr.. Cash and

has built several roads and himself is
a responsible man. Besides, he has
an intimate acquaintance with men
of affairs, having been more or less
associated with them tor many years.
Mr.. Cash drove over West Grant
county and was we'll pleased with the
outlook. ''Be examined the ''Fenni
more Gap' and found feasible route.
His favorite line is from Fennirnore
through Mt Hope and Patch Grsve to
Bloomington, distance of 20 miles.
The people of this district are ready
to assist in the building of road,
/ and no prodding or grandiloquence is
necessary. All they ask is for some
body to come on and build the road.
The pros and cons have all been
threshed over and over.
