to believe the line would be extended
beyond I'LL borders. THE assurance of

a greater extent. Farmers have put in
larger crops in the assurance of a
closer grain market and business en-
terprises have sprung up. III the COM
pany has any doubts of not extending
its line they should be banished. They
are now under a moral obligation to
give us a railroad.
