1T IS CLAIMED THAT THE COMPANY
WILL ERECT A STATION UP TOWN
ALL TRAINS RUN VIA MASTODON
Passenger Facilities That VIII Cover the
Entire South Range Are Talked Of
Which Means Much For City.

There is a persistent rumor that the
North Western Railway company has
in mind the entire rebuilding OF its
station fscilities-in this city and "A re-
volutionary change in the passenger
service between this city and Stager.
In short the story is that the main
line will be moved around 10 the west
SO ~ to cover the entire range Of min
ing locations between this city and
Mastodon that the company will erect
passenger station uptown and that
passenger trains will be run frequently
80 that excellent facilities will be ac
corded the residents az the Mastodon,
Oliver Cleveland Cliffs, Dunn. Car.
penter and Tobin mines TO get back
and forth between this city and their
homes.
Two weeks ago we told of plan to
swing the main line west SO as 90 run
II through Mastodon and connect with
the old line again at Pamela The sur
yeyors have been AT work a week and
the very first line they un had in view
the entire change Gf the line between
this city and old Mastodon station
The line contemplates making main
line out of the present Dunn mine
branch from Mastodon station build
ing "A connecting link between tho
Dunn mine and the Tobin branch
which will connect with the present
Tobin branch east of the TObin mine
and continue to this citv with terminal
facilities east OF the Scaddeu residence
Tne draw back TO. this plan, so we
aro told. is the reluctance OF the com.
pany TO running any Of its passenger
trains through the city at the upper
Superior avenue crossing AS but one
tram, the Amasa passenger will be run
that way. the danger will not be near
ly as great as is now occasioned by the
running OF ore trains through the city.
Should the plan iust mentioned be put
in force. all ore will be handled from
yards near the Dunn so that only the
ore 10 the north of the city need be-
brought through here and that will 90
by way Of the old tracks 40 the foot Of
the hill.
This change, If made. means more
to Crystal Falls than AT first appears on
the surface. 70 the first place IL means
excellent passenger facilities TO and
from the new locations that are to
spring up TO the south vest and will
contain. within very few years. seven
or eight Thousand people. There will
be two trains each way in the forenoon
and three each way in the afternoon 90
that the residents of the locations can
get back and forth between their homes
and this city TO do their trading al al.
most any hour In the day
There will certainly be some business
places &C the new locations but. with
this train service inaugurated and some
enterprising merchants in this city, the
big bulk OF the trade will come to
Crystal Falls city
Another advantage from the change
would be new station and that i'm
provement alone wo-ld be well worth
the price 70 Crystal Falls for this city
hes been crying for u new station for
many years
These plans are not settled upon
The surveys are being made and the
head officials Of the company will make
the decision later on. lt Is time for
the, citizens Of this place TO wake up
aud let the railroad company know
their desires in this matter
