THAT PROPOSED ROUTE

While at Plymouth a few days ago
s. S. Perley of South Bend, who has
had very great deal to say at sum
dry and diverse times regarding an
electric line north and south tllrounh
this cart OF the country, South Bend
and Logansport being generally ac-
cepted terminal points. took the pub
lie into his confidence once more, and
copioirsly.
According to Mr. Perley the hne rs
all arranged for and will be built i'm
mediately if not sooner He says that
south of Plymouth it will lead off to
Wolf Creek, keeping east of Yellow
river, through Rutland INSTEAD of Ar
gos. ON past the east side Of Lake

again to Rochester, then with an
other big swing west to Logansport

intended, but to Lakevflle and Lapaz

ia railroad to avoid the expense of

quired if the Michigan road were
followed Farther north the line is
to return to the Michigan road, how
ever, and follow it into South Bend,
where arrangements are made to en-
ter the city on lines already built.
Without intending to say anything
to- offend Mr.. Perley, that story
sounds more like a pipe dream than
The conservative utterances OF a prac-
ticaa rsilroad builder, or even the
talk of a professional promoter; for
they usually put some logic or reason
into their tales. The road as describ-
ed by Mr. Perley would be as crook
ed as a rams horn. skip good towns
and thickly populated country dis.
tricts to run through others counpar-
atively sparsefy settled, and other-
wise disregard the things that induce
capitalists to loosen their purse
strings III is a good bet that the
Line will never be bu1ll as Mr.. Perley
is quoted as laying it out unless
some millionaire goes crazy and is
induced to build it before he is plac-
ed IN confinement.
