Moro Electric Line Talk,

The Electric Short Line Railway Com.
pany is corporation organized for the
purpose of extending an electric line
from Minneapolis to Watertown. The
| road is now built as far as Lake Mime
tonka, with terminal running into the
heart of Minneapolis. Grading is being
done as far as Winstead.
President Erie D. Luce spoke at Clara
City last week, and from the report
which The Herald gives OF the meeting,
it appears that the new line will run
through Dawson. In fact, If sufficient
funds can be raised by the sale of stock
the work will be extended next year to
Montevideo, Dawson and Watertown,
says Mr.. Luce.
Minneapolis investors have put in
100000 already. 1t is estimated that
the road will cost about $4,000 per mile.
In order to build a total of $50 miles,
100000 more of stock will have to be
sold.
The road such as contemplated would
shorten the distance to Minneapolis
about three hours.-Dawson Sentinel

around denouncing every one and call
ing everybody crook who does not
agree with them" He declares that

Inasmuch as Mr. Otis was president
Of the original Roosevelt league in
