DETROIT TO BAD AXE
BY Way of Mt. Clemens, Armada,
CapaC and Yale

There seems to be glimmer of hope
that Armada may yet get out of the
woods. A railroad is being projected
from Detroit to Bad Axe by the most
direct route, and Armada is fortunately
located in the path which the road is
to take.
Starting from Detroit the surveyors
ran line east of the GratiOt to Mt
Clemens, thence direct to Armada,
! Capac, Yale and Bad Axe. The pro-
moter said the object was to get from
Detroit to Bad Axe by the most direct
route possible The people who are en-
couraging the enterprise are Detroit
business men who are looking after the
trade of the Thumb and the railroad
men are not overlooking the bright
possibilities of the rich farming coun-
try which the road will open up.
Mr.. A. +. RiOpelle, the gentleman
who is in charge Of the field operations,
said that in making the preliminary
survey, they had met with nothing but
encouragement all along the line and
that the country, with its prospects and
possibilities, looked good to him. The
capitalists who propose to build the
road are not asking for bonuses. All
they want is private right of way for
lbNii lOous
While in Armada Mr.. Riopelle in
formed the Graphic that the men be-
hind the project mean business, and
that if no serious obstacles are encOunt-
ered-and there have not been so far
he felt safe in saying the road would
positively be built.
The party of surveyors left Armada
Monday morning for Capac, where
their headquarters will be while work
ing to and beyond that point. No
obstacles to the road will be encounter.
ed at Capac as the citizens of that thriv-
ing village are as anxious for an outlet
to the south and Detroit as are the
citizens of Armada, and the people of
Yale and points further up the Thumb
will certainly welcome the prospect of
direct communication with the me-
tropols of the state, with open arms.
If the road is built, Mr.. Riopelle
thought very likely that the modern
gasoline cars would be used, as there
would be great saving in construction
and maintenance over an electric line

While he wasidoing his duty as a prose
cutor for the people no doubt his mind
was greatly disturbed. But he stuck
to his duty to the last and secured a
conviction against the efforts of a
prominent attorney of Detroit. 1t is
such deeds as this that show the
character of man. Through the
struggle that Tom has had from the
beginning of his splendid career up to
the present time he has shown that he
is thoroughbred and entitled to the
distinguished consideration of all the
