over the field with view OF extend
ing their electric service in this dlrec-

visit will be made at which business
firms will be interviewed as to the
probable patronage extended. me
company as we understand condl-

service, elevators, and all places
where gasoline power is now used.
Whether sufficient volume OF such
service can be furnished here is
question and another important mat
ter is as to whether the city would
consent to allowing the present plant
to be sold or remain idle is mat
ter that will have to be reckoned
with in this connection. OF course
much will depend upon the PROPOSE
ton offered by the Consumers Pow

Madison Lake Tribune: Madison
Lakes good road boosting is get
ting results every day, and tangible
evidence is being shown right along.
as a result of the work done here
lately by our Commercial club. For
some. time there has been a feeling
among many that the judicial road
from Madison Lake, which runs
northeast to LIE Sueur county, passes
near Marysburg, and goes to lie
Sueur Center by the way of Lake
Washington, should be graveled. The
road from here to the LIE Sueur coun-
ty line is i'm very fair condition. in
regard the grade. This road runs
out of town east, turns by Bart
ley links, and passes the east side
of Duck lake. 1t is beautiful
drive in the summer time, and
road which will be well Travelled.
Last Wednesday Dan Brown and
Henry Fasnacht appeared before the
town board of Jamestown and secur-
ed an appropriation of $100 towards
graveling the road, and additional
subscriptions are to be secured. We
understand the farmers along the
road are willing to assist. Pat Nc
Grath, who lives on the road, over
in LIE Sueur county, has already
commenced hauling gravel, and we
look for that road to be graveled
this winter About $500 has already
been raised for work on this road.
This includes donations from farm
ers. Everyone should assist as far
as possible on this road. 1t will
help our town wonderfully, and in.
crease every acre of land many dol
lars in value
