Guy 7. Sloan of Caledonia was
in Friday and while here told a
Ne,Ds reporter that Pennington was
not the only town wanting a rail-
road. Caledonia, he said, also
wanted connection with the out
side world with bands of iron and
was willing to pay literally for
such connection. MI. Sloan said
that there had been considerable
talk lately of a railroad extend
ing west from Bismarck to Gale
donia and Belgrade and that's pre-
liminary survey had been made.
Some st. Louis promoters had
submitted a proposition to the
people of these two towns and also
Bismarck, in which local support
to the extent of $4,000 would be
necessary to secure the much-de.
sired railroad. The people of CAL
edonia had considered the propo-
sition favorably and accordingly
had secured a subscription list
contasning pledges of S14,500 to.
ward a new railroad. This list,
Mr.. Sloan said, was now on file in
the Bank of Caledonia. He
thought the people of Belgrade had
a list of pledges amounting to
about $4,000. He also thought
the people of Bismarck had
agreed to give an amount about
equal to that of Caledonia. Gale
coma and Belgrade are located in
a rich farming community in
Washington county, end need a
railroad. Caledonia is nine miles
west of Iron Mountain, while Bel
grade is 10 miles away. To the
south of them is the fertile Belle
view valley. A railroad tapping
this district would prove q great
boom to the farmers and business
men in it and ought to secure
enough business to make such a
railroad profitable. While Bis
marck would be a good point with
which to connect these outlying
towns, it is said that a road west
from Irondale, which is about the
Same distance from Caledonia as
Bismarck, would require much less
grading than from Bismarck.
Irondale is north of Bismarck on
the Iron Mountain road and also
or Big river. A railroad could
follow the river level out to Gale
donia and thus have q minimum
amount of grading. 1t is reported
that it is the intention of Louis
Houck to build through Farming
ton to Flat River, lockwood, IRON
dale and ON to Caledonia and the
BeIleview valley. We are told
that if his or any other railroad
should do SO, it would be greeted
at the Washington county end by
a handsome sum in the way of a
bonus or for the purchase of stock
or bonds.-Fdrmingtoa NeVs.
