proposition and other important
matters, was we'll attended, and an
abundance Of enthusiasm was shown.
The proposition of q connection with
tho 500 was the most important thing
discussed, and it seemed to be the
general opinion that the matter could
be- brought to successful Issue. The
matter Of procedure would probably
have to be taken up through an
incorporated company composed Of
local citizens and then leased or later
on sold to the 500 company. In fact
this is the lien Of procedure taken at
PieFz. The idea, as we understand
it,, is that road owned by a local
company would hardly be forced to
some of the conditions that the 500
would: This same thing was done
by NJ. NJ. Williams some years ago,
when he incorporated the Little Falls
81 Southern on the West side, run
ming to the mills, which Mr..
Williams stated was later bought by
the Northern Pacific, with profit to
the builders. Besides Mr.. Williams,
Geo. Kiewel, A. Vernon. j. K. Mar
tin, Austin Koslosky, T. G. Gordon
and J. W Berg spoke in regard to the
railroad proposition. A committee
composed Of g. W.. Kiewel, Fl. G..
Meining, T. II. Dewey, 81. n. Tanner,
7. G. Gordon, w. 81. Ryan are to
look after the proposition.

pany was color printing concern,
putting out post cards and calendars,
and that they would be willing to
move their plant to Little Fails
provided the sum Of 81, 600 was given
them. He stated that it would take
this sum to cover the time lost and thu
expense Of moving. The plant Al
present lnvoiced at $40, 900 and EN-:
ployed twelve people mostly men, but
that the intention was to put about
80. 600 more into the plant, which
would then employ about twenty
people. The matter was referred tx

OF 1. e. Gordon, E. NJ. Lafond, L. O.
Vessel, F. A. Nelson and A. F.
Koslosky. The committee met Tues
day morning with Mr.. Martinson and
